Got back, made breakfast, and slammed my knee really good on the dining room chair. I hate dining room injuries.

I agree. All that running, and really the most dangerous thing I face everyday is stepping over the baby gate we keep up to keep the Dexter-dog out of the bedrooms. I've caught my foot and gone sprawling more than once. CNYrunner - yikes! - that sounds like a bad spill. Hope your bruising isn't too bad. Lots of nice runs out there today, master-boomers.

I was running with Coach this morning...really icy in spots,so thank goodness he had to slow down a little bit...10K at a 7:39 pace with 2 fartleks and 2 hills thrown in...then a nice gentle cooldown walk and some breakfast...and he bought. Coach is getting married to a Canadian gal in May and he asked me to be in the wedding party...I'm quite honored...looks like most of our Relay team will be at the wedding... Easy run on tap for tomorrow...

happy february everyone!! -- i know i'm a little behind and i've missed a few days posting - but have tried to catch up on all the awesome runs here!!! my last run was actually thursday 1/31 - did 5.5 miles outside with an avg pace 9:19 then went into the gym and did the circuit training room - it's been tough since then - worked thursday night my usual 12 hour night shift and it was very busy all night, gave blood friday morning so no workout - slept terribly during the day then worked last night another busy 16 hour double shift - was an ugly night with high acuity - sometimes labor and delivery is not a fun place.......so went to son's b-ball game, slept a fitful 3.5 hours now plan to stay awake just long enough to get a good night sleep tonight and get in a good run tomorrow!! glad to have this forum for motivation!! reminds me that even tho i feel like i've been run over by a mac truck right now tomorrow will be another day to get in a boomer run!!

3.3 Miles today with the White Thing Dog. When I got back, my younger brother was here and we went through a number of Mom's old pictures. 15% of them had people we didn't have any idea as to who they were. We're sending them to older relatives. Maybe the photos will be of use to them. Any way, I have had the same stance after 40 years Before:1962 After:2002

Beautiful 6.2 miles on a warmish, sunny, slightly breezy afternoon. Only 20 miles short of my first marathon! Without really trying, I took 2-1/2 minutes off my previous (snail like) 10K training run time. And the previous one was on a flat boardwalk; today's was in my hilly neighborhood. Life is good. Hey, nono, I've been meaning to ask which shore . . . . . I hang out in and around Ocean City most of the summer and as many weekends as I can manage during the school year. Had hoped to retire to the shore for as long as I can remember. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to live there year-round sooner rather than later- the sooner the better. Like tomorrow. Tomorrow would be good. My summer running schedule is to start really, really early, like 5 a.m. - as much to avoid the heat as the shoobies. (OK, I'm from PA, but I figure that since my family actually owns property "down the shore," I don't qualify as a shoobie myself.) Thought about the Ocean Drive 10-miler, but have yet to do a training run of more than 7 miles. May just look over some training plans to see whether it would be do-able. Of course, now that I have a whopping two 6.2-mile training runs under my belt, the AC Marathon weekend 10K is a possibility . . . . Good runs, all, Eliz

A nice run today in clouds but no rain. I managed a full 4 miles today. I'm running 3.8 miles 3 times per week and I'm going to increase that to 4 miles for each of the runs. I'm still really slow, but I'm getting faster. I can pass slugs, now
