I had a nice Thanksgiving and hope everyone else did, too. Despite traveling all week I was able to get in most of my workouts. On the topic of appropriate posts, perhaps I come from a background of more vigorous debate than some people here. However, there is such a thing as community standards, and since this is a community of sorts, one must observe its standards in order to be accepted as a member of the community. Personally, I enjoy reading colorful posts and strong points of view. I am puzzled by people who complain about other posters, when they are free not to read their posts. There are some posters here whose stuff is not to my taste, but rather than complain, I skip over them. Perhaps I am in a small minority, but I actually enjoyed reading those old posts by Earthworm or Earthrunner or whatever his name was on Boomers & Beyond. (I enjoyed the parodies even more.) He was a character and I like characters: I generally do not feel offended or threatened by them. Then PBJ drove him off, which I thought was a humorless and meanspirited thing to do, though other people applauded it. It is not an important goal of mine to be accepted as a member of this community. I would rather go my own way than change who I am. However, I like and respect most of the people who post here, and I would miss having no contact at all with you. To avoid giving offense to anyone, in the future I may stick to the crosstraining thread, which I use as my log and am therefore reluctant to give up, and the monthly mileage thread. Dark Horse

And my foot isn't happy with me either. So I'm torn between running tomorrow (which I want to do) and taking Monday as a rest day, or doing an hour + of pool running (please dear God no...) and some weights.
