Erika, hang there ok. I may act like this "non" running stuff is funny...but it really really sucks, and is bothering me more than I let on. Do you have any idea when you can run again? I think I am still 2 or 3 weeks away, but may give it a try in a week or so. Till then, my cycling trainer is getting a heck of a workout, with mind numbing miles in my living room. It was funny when you said " -10 this morning and could get to -25 tonight. Hey, it's a "dry" cold though". Tim

not to be nit picky....but I have only ran once in 24 days... my 16 mile Marathon attempt. So I am not really that far behind

- nice try timmy, really nice try but not even my mega-taper months have reduced me to such baseball-record like statistical escapism to dream up a 1-run nonrun record. However, as long as you bring it up, I know it's your favorite number so I wanted to be sure to tell you that if you nonrun for another 16 (SIXTEEN) days you'll be able to match the 40/1 nonrun/running since the 10/12 Dawg Dash 10K I'll be reaching at the end of the week.

4 miles in chilly fog 42F slowly turning to sunshine. 10:22 9:59 9:49 9:32 This tuckered me out quite a bit. But it was nice to move the legs a little faster today. For the record, mine are fake....Christmas tree and decorations that is.

Good Morning! Perch – shorts? If I wore shorts in that cold, my legs would be bright red when I finished, and I would have to spend 10 minutes scratching them as they warmed... Mary – I’ll try to wear my HR strap upside down tomorrow and see if it’s different than today.

1. the first line reminded me of going to school in the winter....I had to walk, and there was a dress code and this was in the late 60s.......you could tell all the girls who had to walk to school, as that's what our legs looked like under our mini-skirts. 2. I'm heading out and will do the upside down thing too. How many peeps does it take for a statistically significant sample? (geez, where's physicsboy [Dave in Ann Arbor] when you need him? over at that other side... grins, A

Gotta love the high school having a half day when it's freaking cold out! I got to run at 1:15 pm as my babysitter was available! 7 mi in 1:14:15 with goofy Renee. Came back, opened a Lion Stout and am back to decorating the trees with the kids!

Sometimes I think Nonoruns is the most sane person here.

I updated my blog with some pics from the GP HM if anyone is bored out of their mind http://www.runningingp.blogspot.com/

That would be me! Great blog and great photo's too Tammy!!

Just stopping by to say I remain, alas, firmly in the 40/0 club. Sigh. But today was a really close call. The issue is not my hamstring now, which actually feels fine. At last! Rather it is the bursitis in my right hip. (Geez, I sound like some 90 year old in a nursing home! Somebody help me! ) I developed it last March (!) from sitting all day in a car and then at a desk. Running never made it better or worse. Also, I hardly noticed it while on a run or during a race. But, with over two weeks off it is starting to feel better . . . so now I am wondering if running while not making it worse kept it aggravated enough so it never really healed? The question is should I stay off the road to help find out? If so for how long? Am I just being paranoid, silly or who knows what. It could all just be a coincidence after all. If anybody around here has any experience, views or other advice I am all eyes! tetsujin209 wow I finally know what you are doing in terms of non-running! You really are non-running a marathon! biketm uh, thanks for delaying your non-run post. But since I am traveling on business it is likely no delay will be long enough! I skimmed through yesterday's daily to see what was going on since it seemed to get a lot of talk even today. Ah, next time I might just pass on the er, need temptation to do so!
