Hiya!

Must be quick as have some catching up to do here at the old office.

Majorly good news on the icky legislation Jay.  pshew.

Yay, stumpy, just keep your name OUT of the crime blotter, ok?  I put myself on the inactive list in MA, so I won't be able to defend you this year.   Remember that, ok?   Are you resting up for Sunday???   Wow, that's just around the bend!

OK folks, so what Barb omitted is that her team beat me, due in large part to their team ringer......her DD.  I was ahead of her on the last leg, but shazaam! zoom!  like a rocket (hmmm......), she was past me in what seemed like sub-7 minute mile speed---and effortless .  She is smooth and fast (not to mention charming and smart.  And she seems to have opted for the same in her spouse.).    What a treat to all get together--it was just too short, and we had to say goodbye too soon.   I posted a pic on FB (of just the elder Bs) but can't post it here as FB is off limits on work computers.

Holly, nice race; I agree, I find wind a major bummer.  We had cold on Sunday, but I was so glad it was fairly windless.

Way to work that recovery tselbs!

Glad Dave survived NYC traffic.

Love Erika keeping tabs on Mike.  Listen to her, now.  Prudence is the word.

Waving back at you marj, and see you soon.

RUN - funny how 50-degrees that seemed so warm up in GS-land

felt a bit on the chilly side during this morning’s five-mile ‘mute.
.
POSIE - have fun with your DS David but, in light of his drop-of-the-hat marathons and triathlons with me a couple of years ago, don’t think he can’t go for a run with his mom just because he was over in Peace Corp land for a couple of years.  Look what aamos’s doin’ after her sabbatical.   Does he still run, cycle and even the swim legs of our tri's, along with verything else, in his beloved Chaco sandals?
.
NEWSPAPERS - GS-land had less than 10,000 residents in those days and the local rag published a daily list of birthdays, feature stories, pictures and box scores of our little league games, weekly ski race times, and all marathon times.  There weren’t any AG categories back then but I still like the annual one in 1979 when I got in at eighth place. It would have been tenth place but two runners dropped out.

i once parked in NYC with a couple of bare inches to spare.

I continue on the DL and have an appointment with an Ortho to see if I can heal that knee or, at least, get back to running. Went to the Y this morning and did 30' on the elliptical and 10' on the stationary bike. No knee pain that way and good aerobic workout but I miss the outdoors.

Howdy, masters!

I've been climbing at Mt Lemmon near Tucson this past week.  Still no running, but my knee is feeling better when I walk, so I may be able to try an easy run soon.  The climbing is a fun change of pace, and doesn't seem to bother my knee - it doesn't involve pounding like running does, so the stress fracture isn't affected.

Enke, happy birthday to your tall son!  16 already - wow.

Nice meetup for Aamos with RCG and her family!  Sounds fun.

We're heading back up to Utah today, to climb at Indian Creek.  We spent several weeks there before coming to AZ, but my DH needed a break from the hard crack climbing at Indian Creek.

Happy trails!

Stumpy, I have managed to recruit DH for the 5K, but I forgot the team name.  Help if you see this?

Enke, happy birthday to your son.

This morning, I ran a mile on the TM in 11:19.  Then we went to Saginaw for an appointment my wife had.  While waiting, I walked 3 miles at a 13:43 pace.  When we were done in Saginaw, we drove to Flint to have lunch with our daughter since it's her birthday.  When we got home, I took a nap.

A good day and good runs for all.

Hello everybody!

Just poppin' in to say hi.

Also--I struggled through a 6 miler yesterday and did 10 miles tonight with 2 x 3 under 6:40 pace in the middle that I had to work a whole lot harder at than I should have.

That's it.  Gotta go.  See ya!
