0 miles for me today, . . . and yesterday, . . . in fact still taperin' since the snow/sleet/hail/rain/etc. in the St. Pat's Dash on 3/15 for tomorrow's Dizzy Daze around and around Green Lake.

And of course, the weather has been wonderful for a couple days but will be pacific northwest March terrible tomorrow.

Going out after work to get a new rain jacket.....the weather forecast for Sat is really awful....let's hope it doesn't get any worse overnight!!

francesca/SLR - nice 4 mile and 14.7 mile taperin' my Dizzy Daze 100K and 50K friends. Not that I don't like runnin' in the rain or anything like that but some other of life's swirlies are providing a perfect excuse to cut me back to the shorter eight-lap marathon distance being offered for the first time this year. Woods Lady - not that dear sweet econo hasn't already told you all the details or anything like that but I'm lookin' forward to gettin' together with you as soon as you get up this way next time just in case you haven't heard everything such as about her photo postin' one of the first running skirts in the PNW (check also with rosecolored glasses' own photo evidence on this too), her takin' divechief and me here and there to different places after her PR Christmas Marathon in '05 (to say nothing of start/finish attire in the same), trapezing with Tamara at the Pink Door, what happened to her red spike heels under the table in Portland, somehow bein' enticed to dark horse's room at the 07 SM and takin' him who knows where (haven't seen him since either), bein' banned from family triathlons, to say nothing of me owin' her forever for saving me at the inaugural Eugene, etc. etc. ps - At my current chronology, if ever, I can't keep up to dear econo no way but look forward to bein' able to share some DGL's* with you if possible sometime in our respective sex categories. . * - dead glorious last (everyone else calls them something else but someday they won't)

There's that nono love. You lose. I ran. Wahoo for the coconuts.

Whew! That was close! I was hoping I bet the right way to get you out there!

That Tetsujin, always sinking ships... 30 minutes of pool running while my boys were at soccer practice.

Hey, Econo. I found you! You see how dumb I am on the forum workings. I just read this today, the 30th. Just found it, in spite of hanging around runningahead part of every day. Maybe all the Mamas will join up and take to the road in order to get in on all the fun. Thank you all for so many nice welcomes!!! I am so impressed, and now can bug you asking silly questions. What a nice bunch of people. biketm - you really lost 100 lbs? Congratulations. Did you start to run (walk?) first, or to lose weight? My DD1 is just starting to run, after walking with Econo and me in several 5K's. She is so excited to be getting "off her feet and on her way"! Say, what is GGTK? See, I'm really not with it. Aamos from S. Dakota, I know how you know my daughter, but how do you know my Grandson? Hopeful4ever. I like your name. I have just started the C25K, and see that you have done it. I have been doing 5Ks for a few months, but just recently have added running (well, a slow jog), and go out for about an hour each time when I head out the door, but have just now incorporated the C25K program. My goal is to actually RUN the 5K. Any tips? nonoruns, I'm glad you like my screen name. I thought of several, but Econo liked Woods Lady, and I live in the woods, and train in the woods most of the time. I am also AKA MaEcono. Again, thanks, everyone, for giving me a wonderful welcome. PS Econo doesn't take to me telling her what to do, so I have to toe the line too. Woods Lady
