Ribs - not even in my dreams do I go that fast!
Mustang Sally - welcome! some folks I know born in Toronto can't stand the cold either!
Holly - looks like couscous in size only. half cauliflower was finished by the two of us.
Twocat - sorry about the vampire. I used to get my flu shot from dept of public health and there were some nurses we avoided. they were brought in once a year and didn't have enough practice.
Hawaii - how many runners can fit in a suitcase?
For those who asked yesterday, my 10K cost $52, which is on the high end but certainly not unheard of for races these days. And including the AG award (a nice travel coffee cup), I probably came out ahead for once!
MS, I've wondered if you'd ever find your way back here to RA, although I've of course been following you on FB. You picked a fine time to move to AA, since in my 50 years in Michigan, last winter and the start of this one have been the worst I've experienced! But then, you used to be from around here anyway.
Like a number of others here (Jlynne, MS, C-R, Twocat), 15 degrees and windy were too much for me so I went to the OU rec center and ran a bit on the track until I found that it bothered my knee, so finished on the TM and then went swimming for a while. The pool was not very busy when I started, and at the end I looked around a realized that I was the only one there (besides the lifeguard of course). So we're talking about a NCAA competition-size pool and it's just me swimming back and forth in one of the lanes! Actually bothered me since I knew that the lifeguard would just be looking at me all the time, so I got out.
Have a good Tuesday, everyone -- what;s left of it anyway.

Hello everybody!
Cool...Mustang Sally is back!
No run tonight, just wrestling practice...still frustrating. After watching the kids play the same game for 20 minutes, the coach came over and asked me if I remember any fun games I played in wrestling practice. I told him we never played games in wrestling practice...we wrestled. I don't think he'll ever talk to me again. I ran 11 miles on the treadmill, yesterday, in 1:27:37...now, I have a blister on my little toe.
Okay--that's it from me. See ya!
5.2 miles for me this morning before another busy day -- daily mass, gel shopping, lunch with a friend then over to another friend's new house, then to the new WEGMEN'S!!! Holy cow!! That place is more like a mini mall than a supermarket!!
Just soaked in the hot tub --- starting to freak out -- have NOT packed one blessed thing yet!!!! NEED TO STAY HOME TOMORROW!!!!!!! (ya right)
Aamos - I'm in corral 6, orange --- will see you FRIDAY!!
Hi MustangSally!!
denise
Trails are hard!
Belated greetings. Sunday and Monday after the race were the vacation part of the trip, so DW and I went to see things around Richmond and took a trip to Fredericksburg (right near Tramps) with her cousin and his DW. My legs were pretty sore for the rest of Saturday, but no problem walking around on Sunday. So not a lot of time to sit down and write. or read. Now that I'm back to work, I'll have a little more time
I haven't had a run since, so tomorrow, in celebration of the polar vortex, I think I will get the long pants out and take a little run.
Enjoy Wegmans Deez. As an ex-Rochesterian, I know all about it. FIL swears by anything Wegmans.
Welcome back MS--hope to see you around for a while.
Mike--the truth can set you free.
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

Taper boy, you are so funny. If I ever run a marathon in Alaska, I hope you are running it too. It would be fun to run with an "old Alaskan".
Knowing that Mustang Sally is in Michigan makes me ache for not being able to make it to the RA family reunion there, but my DH and I will be in Macedonia the month before visiting our son and there is no way I could afford another trip a month later.
Since the Easy Pacer is gone for his 4 day training to be an AARP train the trainer tax for volunteers in the county, I had the chance to hangout at the gym a bit longer. I did some gym diva core exercise with my girl friends, then I hit the blessed TM.
I did have a fun run on the TM. To avoid boredom I decided to do a progression run by increasing the speed by 30' every 10 minutes. I ended up with 20' at tempo pace in the last two miles of the 7 miles. Who says that TM running is boring?
Dream, dream, dream my friends.
