Mornin' everyone.
7.2 RW miles in 41F, damp weather. I had some spritzes and light drizzle along the way, but I was still ahead of the steady rain that is forecasted for most of today. I felt slow and discombobulated out there this morning, but my splits were decent, so who knows what was going on?
Very busy day today, so I'm going to cut this short and get into it.
Have a greta Thursday!

Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.

...................good running to the rest of ya..........
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
Sounds like being discombobulated works well for you, Jay.
TW - 60-hr work weeks?? What does Pickles do?
RE the Easy Pacer being in charge of dinner last night - I am very lucky in that The Hub is always home before me and almost always is the one who makes dinner and I do the clean up. Some days he's to exhausted, but I gotta hand it to him, he takes pretty darn good care of me.
6 miles this a.m. in slightly warmer weather than we've been having in the a.m., with 6 x 1 min steep hill repeats. A couple of sections of road by my house have been repaved, and one of them is perfect torturous hill repeats.
Yesterday it hit 75 here in town, and in other outlying areas it hit 80. Say WHAT?? In APRIL??? Our house was like a freaking oven last night, but I'm not complaining. It was absolutely beautiful. Today is supposed to hit around 73, and then we back down to our normal temps and even some rain over the weekend. The plant life is like, "Whaaaa???"
We went through a ton of photos last weekend, and I found this one. It's my brother and me and my three cousins. I was about 5 1/2 yo and my brother would've been 8 yo. I'm guessing the station wagon belongs to my aunt and uncle, but we're at our house in Cambria and this was probably taken before we took off for church.

Mariposai - nice that your DH rose to the task. I can sympathize with wanting someone else to cook once in awhile, as I did not get a break for about 24 years with my ex. Apparently, it was just something he was incapable of doing. He could only order take out.
Tammy, yuck, and lovely description, thanks!
I'm having a sleepover at MBE's house the rest of the week as my kids are somewhere with their father. What a lovely morning to walk Remi in MBE's neighbourhood and enjoy the fresh spring air, the amazing flowers blooming right now, the landscaping. Feels like being on holiday. Then I took the new train extension from the University district into work, so only 30 minutes BTB commute. It's going up to mid-upper 70s today!

should have another 90 degree day here. oy! but I didn't run last night, so I really need to tonight. although I did take B&B for about a mile walk down to the creek and back. they had fun swimming and cooling off. i'm so glad we will not be this warm here for my 10 mi race on Saturday. back to normal of low 70's and off and on light showers. should be upper 40's at the start of the race, so just right.

I was too worn out from yesterday’s ten miles on the five-mile out-and-backmorning/evening running-mute but.at ten degrees warmer than yesterday’s 41-degrees already at 7:00 a.m. this morning and calling for it to get up to 82-degrees by mid-afternoon, it was too nice not too.

fatozzig, neat picture of you, your brother, and your cousins.
I walked 3 miles on the TM this morning at a 13:43 pace. I then took the car to get detailed. While I was waiting, I had a late, greasy, delicious, breakfast and walked another 2 miles outside at a 13:41 pace.
A good day and good runs for all.

I like reading about the west coast's weather. Today I ran through sun and rain and sun. Winds were sometimes helping and sometimes hindering.
I would like to go to breakfast with tselbs. Nice walking.

Will there be a pillow fight involved?
Leslie - great picture! And I love the purse....
Tammy - 90 degrees - wow! It's about 41 degrees here, windy and rainy - not so pleasant, but at least it is not snow.
I was the guest speaker for a group this morning, talking about the changes in Ohio Medicaid. It was a small group, 20+ people, so it wasn't too nerve-wracking (I tend to get nervous in front of a crowd).
My high-heeled boots make it about halfway through the day, then they come off and the fuzzy slippers I keep under my desk take over.
No run for me today, just about 30 minutes of weights and core.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
I would like to go to breakfast with tselbs.
My thoughts exactly!
TW - Your poor bro probably has no idea what he's in for.

it's a mess Rosie//...............my favorite part is when they tell you about the Hippocratic Oath they took........
one of my buddies
is a physcian in a small town here,
a PainClinic offered him $500,000 a year to work for them
he told them
''I didn't go to Med School to be a Damn Drug Pusher''
these Pain Clinics used to make $10,000 PER DAY or more
you don't have to be a Doctor to own one

greasy diner breakfast sounds good!
No pillow fight. I did feel bad that I kicked him in the back this morning. I'm used to having a King sized bed to myself.
I'm amazed one can eat a greasy breakfast and then walk even faster after that! On the rare occasion I have a big breakfast (not really a morning eater) with the usual eggs, bacon, maybe potatos, etc. I just pretty much want to go take a nap.
Love the pic Leslie!!
Posai - glad your DH came through!! My dh loves to cook at times, but its unfortunately it's often meals I really don't want to eat. He experimented Sunday with making a rolled roast beef -- I don't eat meat. So I made a vegetarian chili. Tonight he made a baked macaroni and cheese -- so much cheese, milk, butter and regular pasta -- I'm not a huge dairy fan and really trying to get a few lbs off before a friends wedding in May!! I made a huge salad with zucchini, tomatoes, avocado, and chick peas and just had a small side dish of his pasta creation. Oh well - at least he's cooking for himself and the boys!!
I ran 6 miles this morning before the rains started. Part of the route was on a trail and a lot of it was rolling hills so not a fast run, but had great company with 3 friends and a doggie!! So happy to be out there again and building back up.
Hope you all had a greta Thursday!!
