Afternoon All Rest day for me today. I am away in Ireland on Thurs for a wedding. Jeanne glad your wedding went well and Sue, sounds like a tough trail run with hubby. I did a relay marathon very hilly trail run on Sat. The weather was perfect as was the South Downs Way. We have done this for the 3 years it has been running same team and I have done the same leg each year. The first year are vet now 63 got lost. The second year he collapsed but finished, the medics recognised him from last year as he collapsed just over the finish line again. He was fine though. We managed to come in 21/61 so quite good. I have improved each year. 2006 54mins + change 2007 48mins + change 2008 46:35 The team age's are 63, 50, 38, 38 My arches feel a bit sore apart from that all ok. Good Runs All Roy

Tselb, sorry to hear about the hammy issue. Please take care, we don't want to see you in the DL list.

Not much happening on the board today I see. Much needed rest day for me. I rolled down the windows of our minivan to cool it off before going to pick up the kids. When I went out to drive it, our little acrobatic cat was sitting in the passenger seat waiting for me. So funny....I swear she thinks she's a dog. Have good evening everyone! Enjoy the simple things...

Good deal on your race Roy!!!! Where's the fasion report??? Rest day today. We had company over tonight. I'm the one in the Batman shirt. Um..I'm the old one in the Batman shirt

Awesome photos! Gorgeous family all of you and the little bat-baby made me grin! Thanks Steve! Hi La Tortuga! I hope to meet you and many others in Hartford. It's only 40 minutes from where I live. I may be part of the cheering section because of business travel the day before, but I love that race and it's the sight of many a speedy time for me. Good luck with the training. .....still waiting at the airport...like Charlie beneath the streets of Boston...to never return! Karin

Just back from 3 mi with Renee. We had a HUGE storm tonight at dinnertime. Lots of thunder, lightening and sideways rain. Made for a lot of puddle splashin' good time out there. Haven't been posting 'cause I've been not running but instead moving and surviving on caffeine, sugar and booze. I pulled up a boatload of sod at the new house to lay out my gardens and dug in too many shrubs. Everything is done that can be on the outside. Inside, well, we're actually living (if you call eating dinner and sleeping there) at the new house. We did a sleep over with the kids on Friday night, and they've refused to go back to our other house! So now, I commute over the 6 blocks in the morning, work 1/2 a day packing at the old place, then finish the day at the new place. Next Tuesday, the movers will be moving our furniture. It would have been nice to do it this week. However, the town has closed our road due to paving for most of the week! How convenient (not). My Mom is home from rehab, but there's all sorts of problems, as my Dad is making it very clear he's an unfit caregiver. Loads of stress for my sister and somewhat for me as we try to determine what to do next. He's most uncooperative, so we have to try to anticipate every possible angle. <sigh> </sigh>

(((((Nono))))) Hang in there. All things come to pass. If possible, talk with poeple who have been in the same boat.
