biketm great deer story! Now how much of it is true? Sweet what you are doing for that woman. Finally, getting a raise in the car industry these days really says something about how hard you are working! WillRunForBeer nice mid-week double digit run. breger1 what kind of car do you drive? I never had one with a mechanism like that in it. hopeful4ever interval programming on the Garmin takes some getting used to. FIW here is my algorithm. Since I start by running to wherever I am going to do them as a warm up I set the first item to go until I press the lap button. Then I program in the repeats and the rest intervals without any button pressing needed to proceed from one to the other. Finally, I program in the last speed part separately and when it ends I have as the next lap (again no button to push) as one that only ends when I hit the lap or stop button. This means I have three button pushes in total. (1) Start and run to flat place for workout. (2) Start intervals. (3) Quit timing me I am home! SueT48 sounds like my workout today! Holly S. TM yech! Pics? lamerunner at least it sounds like you are on the road to recovery, if not as easily as anybody might hope. Nice 6.5 mile run today. Glad the bobcat did not eat you! He must of been pretty neat to see! Spareribs you know what they say about the 60's, if you remember them you were not there. Sort applies to the 70's and very early 80's too! I have no idea what I was doing on any day that year. The spring of 81 is a total blurr as I was elected social director of a student co-op. tselbs some sort of flu like bug is around here too. Seems like people are getting over it fast though. I hope the same holds for you. dg. core for dinner . . . are you planning to eat the inside of an old mainframe computer? Also, still here! Mariposai yea, well such is life. I hope you run goes well and is wind free. jdmom3 thanks. Me too! TM though yech! Let me see TM or 30 mph winds, TM or 30 mph winds . . . close call . . . Craneium too bad might have made for a more interesting run . . . Aamos thanks for the well wishes. Pretty clever pets you have there! Have you thought of going into animal training? evanflein wow only -22° and you are hitting the TM? Wimp! And how well do moose (mooses, mices, meeses?) jump? abelisle very sweet story. enkephalin thanks for the collective well wishes offer. I fear I might need them. Sorry about you getting what looks like a bug. Hopefully it is just a one day event. perchcreek nothing like 10+ miles in the rain to clean up those dirty sneakers! PJH things should work out. As I tell my friends I am not dead, at least not quite, yet! Thanks. My workout today was an hour of abs and upper body this morning in the gym.

Porsche, Tim . . . My boss up in Seattle had one of those. weeeeeeeeeee!!!

Late post today and hope everyone's Wednesday got them "over the hump." Cross training for me - 6 miles on the eliptical. It was supposed to be pilates day, but my wrist would hear nothing of that. Felt kind of like Jack LaLaine trying to do one-handed moves, and I definitely don't want to be more toned and muscley in my right arm than my left. Nice to see Tim is trying to do his part to keep the deer population down. A wonderful post by Alex - I think his grandson is lucky to have him in his life too. I would LOVE to see a picture of Holly on the treadmill in that hot little lime green sport bra! How about it??? Twocat - you are taking the news about your injury very well. Have you noticed any improvement since you've stopped running? Does anyone watch Top Chef on Bravo? Love that show, and wonder who will get the ax tonight. I'm thinking Hosea, We got a fresh 5 inches of snow and it's still coming down. The temps are dropping, too. Hope everyone has better weather where they live...

breger1 nice wheels! My not so exciting Envoy heads into the service center tonight. There go another few hundred buck. Aamos long saga. Send me an email and I will be happy to get you up to speed. Basically, something is wrong with my left leg and it will not pull back while running or during any other activity that requires rapid power out of it. There is no pain, it simply does not work. The doctors are stumped and putting me through various tests to try and pin this down. Jlynne alas there is no improvement so far as I can tell. My DW tells me I am walking better. I hope she is right as that may indicate some healing is going on. Otherwise, I am back to staring at a neurological problem as the likely culprit. As to taking this well . . . you might try having to try and live with me! halllar I think I may be genetically incapable of getting a six pack no matter what I do! I keep my weight way down, I work out in the gym, and I have a gut with a one pack! Flat, but no definition.

hey masters! 9 easy miles for me this afternoon. 10:37 pace. What a gorgeous day in OK. The howling wind from yesterday died down, the temp was wonderful at about 56F. That coyote is really a crazy clown, When will he learn he can never mow him down? Poor little Road Runner never bothers anyone, Just runnin' down the road's his idea of having fun.

Twocat, that original quote was about Woodstock. Do you know that I was about 25 miles away and had to work that entire weekend? All my friends went. It was only later I learned that it was this awesome event. I am from Cornwall, NY and Woodstock is up near New Paltz. Back then I was a sophomore in college, SUNY Albany, working as a lifeguard for the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, what some of you from up there know as "Bear Mountain Park" "Lake Tiorati" "Lake Welch" or "Lake Sebago". I had no money then, and needed that summer job. I didn't even know I was missing a big deal. But you are right with that comment. As years go by the Woodstock crowd certainly has swelled hasn't it? Everyone claims to have been there. Spareribs
