    Twocat sent me a macro for the weekly tally to make it more readable. The logistics are wayyyy over my head, but it works! Thanks Twocat! Let me know if I missed anyone or got the numbers wrong.

    Breger -51.252 months after marathon and still in excellent shape.

      See Holly not so hard! Smile Looks good too. Now everybody is getting in with the fancy headings. Ok, me too then! Also, I created a Word document with a built in macro that converts a standard Word table into one that posts here in HTML (just copy and paste the results). If anybody is interested in getting a copy let me know and if you know of some way to post it around here.

            This week should be a bit lower than last week (low 40's probably), as I start a mini-taper for the Miami HM.

                        Will be on the DL for a few days due to an achilles tendon injury, so will need a pass this week. I'm hoping it doesn't sideline me for too long. PJ

                              Holly, I would love to play this game but I don't know how. I came over from coolrunning last month. I assume this is for people 40-49? I have no idea how to make those columns for weekly runs. Is that taken from our log? Excuse my ignorance. I'm looking for comradrie with fellow masters.

                                Hi gang. I won't have 40 this week due to racing a 12k on Saturday 01/19. It's also my birthday. The race is a hilly one and it's at Norris Dam State Park in Tennessee. I'm done running until the race and I'm at 26 so if on race day my WU/race/CD equal 10 miles, I'll check in at 36. I'll report actual results Saturday evening ..... when I'm 56 years old. Big grin

                                At the end of the day, be happy with where you are and what you've accomplished.
