Ah, yes it would be! Yours Truly the Newly 5 lbs Heavier Twocat Fatcat

Hey, I am up 5 pounds too TimplumpBo

Sounds like everyone is still percolating right along. Veeery good. Tramps - Congrats on the marathon finish! Glad your feel felt vundebah afterward Mari - Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I think being there at the end with someone you love (me with my mom) is one of the most precious gifts in life. 6 hilly miles this a.m. with a 10:01 ap. Very happy with that. Will be glad when I get this 30k done and over with this coming Sunday. I'm tired of climbing the same 4 hills over and over and over . . . and over. Mary - I managed to lose 4 lbs. somewhere along the way over the past 4 days, and I am clueless as to how it happened. Not complaining, though! Maybe it's all the berry pie w/whipped cream I ate. Can't think of any other explanation. Later, gang! MTA: This is for Dicky: An Oz driver has been fined AU$600 for "offensive behaviour, resisting police and disobeying a police direction" after cracking one off into a pasta sauce jar even as coppers attempted to subdue him with batons and capsicum spray following a "slow-speed" car chase through Newcastle, New South Wales. The drama began when officers spotted Keith Roy Weatherley, 46, "parked in a no-stopping zone near Nobby's Beach on October 26". According to the Newcastle Herald, they thought he "might have a weapon"* since he was "doing something with his hands in his lap". He was in fact "partially clothed with his genitals in a jar", a police report explained. The perp made a dash for it, was pulled, refused to exit the vehicle and four officers were obliged to persuade him from his car. The law enforcement operatives identified "a 750mm** jar around his penis" and said Weatherley gamely insisted on continuing to pleasure himself "between bouts of wrestling". A search of Weatherley's motor uncovered "pornography, a homemade sex aid, women's stockings and a Jack Russell terrier". He pleaded guilty to the aforementioned raft of charges yesterday at Newcastle Local Court. The role of the Jack Russell in the incident is not noted. ®

No walking for me today. I had a PET/CT scan this afternoon. Right now I'm not feeling real good and have a meeting to go to at 7. I just want to stay home and sleep.

Ugh. Can you skip the meeting? What flavor contrast did you drink? I like the banana better than the berry.

Hi Susan! Welcome back. It's going to be a spectacular show in the sky tonight. If it's better than last night, it'll be awesome. http://news.aol.com/article/look-to-sky-for-spectacular-sight-monday/263580

Leslie - is that for real? Too funny!

Yeah - I heard it on the news first this past weekend. The visual is almost too much to bear.

I just looked at the workout overview and it shows calories burned. (using just weight and distance) Has anyone ever looked at how accurate this is?

For me, not at all. It depends on a lot of factors, including your weight, age, and how efficiently your body has become at doing the given exercise (as in, burning as few calories as possible). I have read that a woman my size burns about 80-85 calories per mile running. I've not been rigorous enough with my calorie counting to fully test the accuracy of this, but I wonder sometimes if I even burn THAT much. Leslie... {{{Munch}}} Susan - hiya!

((mari and family)) so glad your fil had a peaceful death with his loving family by his side i'm still exhausted - slept awful last night and had to be in Boston for a 7am conference -- drove in with a friend who is also a night nurse and we both vowed we'd never work days -- getting up that early is just not me anymore - lol .......... and to make it worse i have to be at the hospital by 6am tom. morning with my 20yr old who is having surgery for a torn ACL and yes this is the same kid who had hand surgery back in March when he broke it in a fist fight!!!! grrrrrrrr -- i think i better go to bed now!!

Sweet dreams Denise, I hope you e a restful sleep so you can be ready for tomorrow. I will be sending my prayers for your son as he undergoes this surgery. Just wanted to say one more time how great to have you all at my side at this time of mourning. Each one of you are very precious to me. Thanks for your love, your hugs and your support. 6 miles on the TM after work. I was going for an 8 miler since I had the time for myself tonight, but the brain told me in very bold ways that we ain't going to go that far in our first treadmill session since last February...so... six I did and then spent some time with weights and core ex. So happy to see fjordrunner here today. SRLopez, I so admire your attitude towards life..banana flavor contrast {{{{munch}}}}}}}}}
