...huh Ribs Tammy, my foot feels excellent..actually the best it has in months. I know I know I know, but I will get back to what I was doing, taking it easy...but happy to know I haven't lost all my speed Cool

I am off to buy a dress. I tried one on over the weekend that looked nice on me but it was a 6. I think I am probably a 7, so the Saint is going to help me pick something out that is stylish and shows off my slim figure while also giving me a bit more room around the chest. More on this tomorrow.

You wear a size 7 dress?? Just picture this little guy Evil grin

as green with envy. BTW, one that has a nice wrap around feature really brings out the waist line without making you look too wide in the hips, although this is obviously not a problem for you. Evil grin

And if it has a plunging or semi-plunging neckline, don't forget to jazz things up a bit with some nice chunky jewelery. (I'm channeling my inner Stacy London for you.)

-35C this morning so Erika I ran on the treadmill (I am getting weak).

Oh well, Tall... it happens to the best of us. Big grin

Good workout, and I'm glad you're back with us. Deb, funny Lutheran comment. Almost as funny as a book my mom (a Lutheran minister's daughter) had called "Scandinavian Humor, and Other Myths." Hilarious picture of some very dour looking older women in hairnets on the cover... I must not be Lutheran enough cuz I just can't do the early morning workout thing. TimBo... I agree with everything Tammy said. Craneium, that's very good news. Thanks for the update on your dad. I'll RAW, goal is 9, but like Tall, it'll probably be a TM run. Was thinking about packing up all my stuff and schlepping it to the office for an after work outdoor run, but I'm just tired of that whole process. It's colder today, too (-35°F this morning) and while I think I dress well enough to stay warm, I'm just weary of the whole thing. Feels like a copout, I was really trying to keep the string of Wednesday MLR outdoor runs going, but I'll be back out there this weekend (warming up a bit!).

2.3 out of my 5 miles done for today. Running around here sometimes is just plain uncomfortable! I was stinkin' hot and freezing cold at the same time, and decided to do the rest of my run after the sun has set. Technically it is 30°F with a "real feel" of 22°... but the spread felt more like 55° on my back and 10° my front when running north, and the opposite running south. I think I needed to switch directions every block to possibly average out my body temperature (why didn't I think of that while out there?) Confused

So, 2.7 more to go at 5 p.m. Tomorrow I will not ignore my alarm! Wink

6.3 miles, 38F, partly sunny, very slow. Had a bit of a tummy ache so quit after six, the original plan was for 10 with 2 or 3 miles at HMP near the end. Saw the 80 yr old guy on the trail, he gave me a big smile. Smile

He is not much slower than I am. Sad

Red, spaghetti strap with red high heels is the thing now days! Just thinking of SRLopez and his family. Send Tobias my way if you need help... Big grin

No run yet, but it is sunny outside and yours truly will take off from work early to enjoy the sun and do sun hurry up meters around the hood.

Not only did Thunderbolter have poetic posts, but he also apparently ran in a different universe than most of us. I always loved his pictures that he "took" during his runs.

Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

Oh, Tim, Tim, Tim.... Big grin

What's the world coming to when the crazy Canuck runs on a treadmill? Surprised

Spareribs, post a pic of you in your new dress so we can really get elevated heartrates! Clowning around

I was workin' on my tan today... 5 easy miles at lunchtime, 65 degrees and sunny! Cool

I’ve been busy with life; fortunately this is a cutback week for me. My plan was for a shorter 4-mile tempo as part of today’s 8-mile run. Since I’m running a local 4-mile race on Sunday, I thought I’d open it up today and see if I was ready to go after last year’s PR time of 28:14 (the only 4-mile race I’ve ever done). So I warmed up, ran hard for four miles by feel, and then looked at my watch: 28:14. Big grin

I had to laugh.

Be safe. Be kind.

You ran 4 miles at 6:05 pace Shocked

....WOW U's fast. I see your PR for a 5K is at 6:50 pace....you could blow that out of the water right now, great job Tramps.

Ah, and I hear Lightning McQueen when I read that! Finished up my 5 miles + a little more as my almost 5 yr old daughter came out to run her 1/4 mi. She's "training" for the kids races at Disney World in March. She wants a redo from a couple years ago when her grandmother (my MIL) insisted upon running with her and ended up holding her back. Roll eyes

She's still mad about the announcer making that suggestion just before her race, and frankly I don't blame her! I told her since she's older the distance is double, and she's diligently running her 1/4 mi practices. Big grin

We don't tell her she has to train. Just that if she wants to run, she needs to be ready at the end of one of our runs. She's bugging me to mine her lap out of my Garmin because, "It was my best run ever, Mom" so I have to go!
