4.07 quick miles this morning at a peppy 9:38 pace. Busy day today - I'll stop by and visit dear-old-dad on the way to work, then later this afternoon we've got errands planned. Looking towards tomorrow's 20 -miler with the usual trepidation.

Good morning! Nice undulating run, Roy! GL on the long runs tomorrow PDR and CNY.. I'm sure they'll go just fine. Good news on the knee/foot front. No issues today at all. Good to nip these things inthe bud and back off immediately! First took Tory for 2.2 mi warm-up at 9:44 pace. Since no foot/knee complaints, gradually increased pace for 6 miles Starting at 8:20 and ending at 7:43... no complaints Then did lunges, pushups and hamstring curls. Have great runs and races.. I'm especially rooting for our Myrtle Beach racers (roadhawk and afreeman) .... it's been a year since that wonderful experience. Still makes me smile

Good morning! Good to hear perch, that your issues are no longer. Roy, nice sub-MP run! 22 miles, 20 miles -- I'm starting to think we're all nuts 17 for me tomorrow, but I won't trepidate until tomorrow morning. 5 "easy" but hard miles for me today -- I felt sluggish the whole way through. I guess some days are just like that, no big deal. Workout: 4.1 miles, 8:25/mi, AHR 145 Overall: 5.1 miles 43:04 Go racers!

It's also mid-winter recess for the schools here. Sigh----only MID-winter. I am not sure I needed to be reminded! CNY

Very true.....but looking in the ads yesterday in our newspaper, they have Spring clothes out already....trying to be optimistic Tim

Happy Saturday everyone! Roy, you may have to redo your MP prediction if you keep that up! CNY, winter unofficially ends at the end of February, so we're almost there! Good luck with your 22 miler tomorrow, the temps are supposed to warm up a bit I think. Predawn, good luck with your long run tomorrow too! It's always good to finally get those in the books. Tim, I have to work Saturday's every now and then too. At least by noontime it should be warmer for you. Have a good one. Perch, everyone should take your advice about nipping injuries in the bud. I'm glad you are back at it again. Holly, you need to rent a dumpster. Makes cleaning very easy! Watch your back carrying those boxes. Good luck with your long run tomorrow. WRFB, you were just getting the kinks out of the system today so that you'll have an awesome 17 miler tomorrow. And if running those miles is considered being nuts, I'm glad to be part of that group. Peter, nice run in nice conditions! You are gonna love hardwood floors, they make cleaning a snap, and you can slide around on them in your socks! Lois, welcome back to the groove! Frozen eyelashes, frozen waterbottles and pastel skies were the theme of my run early this AM. 8.01 easy miles this AM in windy, chilly conditions. (That extra .01 miles was for you, Sue!) Legs were a little tired from yesterdays run, and tomorrow is a long run at a good clip, so we'll call today a recovery run. Followed up the run with a trip to the massage therapist for a much needed tune up. As the miles increase, so does the maintenance requirements for the body. I had that deep down chill from my run still, and was goosebumped the entire massage. A good weekend to all!

Morning all!! Lots of good runs reported already today. Out for 13 miles this morning. It was really cold, but the sun was shining and it was quite pretty. I started worryiing about not having sunscreen on though - my dermatologist is instent upon it due to the procedures. I did have a brimmed hat on though. Took me 2 hours and 30 minutes. Not exactly lightening speed - but with road conditions I'll take it. Happy Saturday! ~Mary

Morning Boomers. 10 miles on the dreadmill in 1:30:10 today. Note to self: don't go out for Friday fish fries the night before a long run! I'm ahead of the training schedule for the half I plan on running in May but could sure use a little motivation. Maybe it will be better when i can run outside on a regular basis. An hour and a half on a treadmill is PAINFUL. CNY Runner, I know what you mean about "midwinter." There's another snowstorm headed here with 6 to 10 inches predicted. We're already 15 inches above normal snowfall for an entire winter, and we still have two months to go. Sounds like lots of house projects today. Holly and Peter, good luck with your chores. My sister is a realtor and she always says the best thing you can do is "declutter." It makes everything look big and neat. Nice runs, Roy, Perch and TwoCat! Perch, glad your knee is okay. Some nice long runs for the wimmin today also. BTB1490, good luck with your Boston training. It's great that you're running for charity. Hope you take in big bucks. Who took our DarkHorse? Is he on a secret mission? Haven't heard from Tall for a while either. Where are you guys?! Good runs to all, Jeanne
