WTG Steve Steve, you know sooo much about running, you should write a book...I would buy the first copy Tim

hi! quick post. no time to read right now. how efficient, it takes so little time to become so behind. why don't other things work that way? 5 mile run this morning with 4 or 5 200 meter... intervals, if you can call them that if they're that short. just trying to pick up speed a little. over all pace 9:39, I think. max 6:57. best interval type thing was 7:47. then 2 sets on the weight machines, pushups & pull ups, back lifts, rows & deadlifts w/free weights. stretched. whirlpool. hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Hey tet, I'm closing in fast on my magical 30 day taper

Timmy - maybe not about running but you’ve apparently read the taper book as tomorrow you will tie my most recent 28 day taper that ended last Sunday. I knew twocat and erika couldn’t do it and I confess the same about you. In all these years tapering so much on the boomer board, you’re the first time I’ve ever felt threa, . . . I mean enjoyed a challenge so muich. In fact, it makes me so enviou, . . I mean, overjoyed for you that I may go out for a run tomorrow. I may even do it two days in a row if your taper gets by me to 29 days on Sunday. However, if you actually make it on Monday to the magical 30 days needed for membership in nonrunners anonymous, it will be an honor on Tuesday to welcome you to full-fledged taper status with the most impressive recent past tapers of divechief (6 mo), twocat (3mo) and me (3mo). Good luck! <>you’ll need it)>>> ===== ilene he kept up for two mile!? Now I'm really envious.

But yesterday afternoon I got an unepected extra two miles in running (jogging). I was asked to take my my little nephew running. Go teach him how to run, he loves running! It was clearly a ploy to get him out from under foot, but I obliged. Two miles later he was at last panting "no more running, I'm tooo tired!".

Hey tet, then I will be working towards another 30 days off...what door prize does that get me. Still not planning on running again till Jan 1st, but may not be ready then either. Still so very easy, even a Caveman could to it..... Twocat....your prolly right Dreamrunner Timmi

Mornin', Peeps! No working for me today, and the Hub didn't have to be at work 'til 10:00. So we actually slept in 'til 9:00. Boy howdy, but it felt good. Well, I'll have to finish up my transcription at some point this weekend, but no pressure. No kiddos in this household, so no Black Friday shopping. Actually, no Christmas shopping at all. Haven't in years. Once the nieces and nephews reached 18, they joined us merry band of adults and get a Christmas card and a phone call. However, since the whole fam damily will be here this years, we're each going to buy a present and do a round robin sort of exchange. I need to come up with a really good gag gift for something else I have in mind. I will, however, join the hordes looking for a tree today. And then the decorating begins. So to get myself in the whole git 'er done mind set, I went out for a 3-mile run that was going to turn into a 4-mile run, then went on to be a 5-mile run since things were going so well. So 5.03 miles in 47:25 for a 9:26 av pace. My pace these days is making me pretty darn happy. Timothy - You had me going, too, for a second. I was starting to get irritated thinking - What the he!! is he doing?? Just because you feel better one day don't make you healthy! And then I read on . . . . DickyG - I have to admit one of the things I look forward to most in this thread is your new press releases and your added comments at the end. Thanks! Well - I'm done with my bagel and coffee, so off the get a tree. Later!

Nice PR, PDR! Only did 3 ez miles, in the breeze and rain...was feeling a bit yuck from too much wine something yesterday. DH got up at 5:30 to chase a doorcrasher but he was too late. That is the one day of the year he gets up before 8am and it was quite shocking to me to actually see him do it. I want to do another marathon, this spring. Trying to just focus on lots of easy miles as my calves and hammie are still tight. Thanks for the suggestion of the wall stretch Leslie, I think it is helping, but I also think I overdid it yesterday (the stretch). When I tried to speed up today it let me know it is not ready.

- didn't mean to irritate you in my dream. But like Twocat said....I should probably find some different to dream about... Tim

I bought a piece of exhaust pipe for my noisey car today and rented a movie, WallE. DH had to explain this is not about Wally, the Red Sox official team mascot. 2 ez miles. grins, A
