Good morning, friends. Slow recovery run today, after yesterday's intervals. Snow on the ground made for some fancy footwork, especially around the (sometimes dark) culs de sac. Workout: 2.2 miles, 9:14/mi, AHR 130 Overall: 3.2 miles, 29:20 Good runs!

Good Morning! SteveP – my prayers are with you and your family. Perch – after all that you chose running over a nap? You are made of sterner stuff than I. RinninginDC – you have to watch out for those muffins. Ridiculous that a single muffin can be worse than 2 Krispy Kremes. Sadly, my babysitter’s father died this week, and the funeral is today, so I will have to pick up DD from kindergarten when it gets out at noon. The bad news is that my boss is not willing to let me take the afternoon off because she wants to get a certain report written and filed today, so I’ve packed a lunch and a bag of toys for DD and I’ll be dragging her to the office with me. Wish me luck getting any work done with that little tornado whizzing around the office. No run for me today, x-training instead: lunges, leg lifts w/ankle weights, face-up and face-down, one-legged squats, dumbbell presses, shoulder presses, flies, lying hammer curls, and a 13-minute ab/core workout video. Happy Friday!

Prayers for you Steve and your mother and family. No run for me this morning......I was in the last row of the plane and got off last only to find that someone else had taken my bag. I was on a small plane and all bags had to be checked at the gate. No sneakers, no laptop charger, no running log (yes, I keep a detailed one on paper with all my times and such....) I was pretty upset last night (tired and it was late), but calmer now. Hertz assigned me a red Mustang convertible and that made me laugh out loud. Thank goodness I have my car keys and all that in my briefcase. I am here in Atlanta for two days and will do some shopping if I don't hear back from Delta soon. Thankfully I know these clients well. Looks like this will be a serious step back week for me! So glad we ran 10 yesterday Hollyy. Good luck at work. Bye all.....I'll do some vicarious cyber running through your posts. CNYrunner

Good morning all Boy, how I can relate to the few who had bad runs this week. Last night was my turn I guess... 6.7 miles - 1:02 - 9:15 easy run pace. I new I was kinda sore and tired before my run, but normally my legs come to me after a mile or two, but last night that never happened and I really didn't think I would make it back home without walking Oh well, today is my scheduled (well needed) rest day and I will be good to go Sat and Sun, except for the frigid temps that are heading my way.....lows around -4 and highs in the single digits, burrrrr! Good runs to all that ran, and hope all that have a rest day enjoy it! Steve, prayers are with you and your family!!! Good luck with all that Holly...try to keep your sanity TGIF Tim

Good luck with your mom's condition, Steve. CNY, that really sucks! I hope that it was just someone's honest mistake and they return the bag to the airline ASAP. Good recoveries, Lou and Bill. I'll go out in the single digits this weekend if you will, Tim. And don't you wish we could get a webcam set up in Holly's office today? Another rest day for me today. That is, if you call wimping out because of the sound of the cold wind this morning a legitimate "rest day". But I could use a few relaxing mornings anyway. Good luck to the weekend racers and runners, especially in the country's frigid midsection!

Steve, hope all is well. Dark Horse, by now you saw that Bobby Fischer just passed away today at age 64. He was just the greatest and the reason why I got interested in chess. Spareribs

OK, that's a deal rochrunner Man, with temps around 0 for Green Bays football game Sunday, I don't know how the players can play in those temps....holding on to the ball and such....and then the fans sitting there for hours. Tim

I was feeling restless this morning and my foot/heel was feeling normal so I went out for a 3 mile run. (15°, sunny and breezy.) I ran or worked out the last 4 days so I didn't have anything planned for today. Tomorrow I have to sit in a car or in a class for 6 hours, so that help motivate me to do something today.
