I went the opposite way from jdmom. The thermometer was reading about 30 at 8AM, but when I went out for my run an hour later I didn't realize how much it had gone up. So I was definitely overdressed and got back from my 4-miler pretty well soaked beneath my running jacket (which I didn't need in the first place).

On my run along the Clinton River Trail, I reflected on how different it is after the change of seasons. In the summer, the trail is lined with trees and foliage, which is nice in its way, but come winter with the leaves down you can see much farther into the woods. Today I enjoyed seeing the river itself where it's usually hidden, meandering around its many curves on its way downstream. 

Have a good weekend, everyone!

You could have just tied it around your waist Doug!  

Holly - I liked The Lincoln Lawyer too.

I am thinking Ribs ..... Oklahoma City and Kansas City pop into my head ..... thinking, thinking.....(cannot google)....

 

Timbo - isn't that Jodi the same one who's been sort of giving you mixed messages for years?

 

 



 Yeah it is....she is a self proclaimed man hater. She thinks all of life's problems can be traced back to men - LOL, maybe they can . She goes totally from one extreme, to the next - these highs and lows which are very scary to be around actually. So, I need to just let her be. She complains about everyone and everything, when it's herself that is so mistrusting and cynical about life. Not me......life is too short, as most believe. Petty and snobby people.........I hate that.

Just so ya know...I don't call women the names I mentioned yesterday. I am not a stupid guy, but rather just being goofy. I treat all woman with the utmost respect. Just ask Holly....I have been with her  3 different occasions meeting up at races (and all the gals at the Seattle marathon 2009) Then there was Ribs runner friend Kelly, that I took very good care of in Indianapolis as we even shared a room together. And I took care of everything from A to Z, as she was getting Indiana off her list of all 50 States to run a marathon in.

I say things sometimes, just being my goofy self - feel guilty even tho I mean no harm - then feel like I need to explain myself....just me   

Brrrr, 7 easy miles last night...and it was cold and windy -  wind chill in the 20's I guess. I wore my really good gloves, but my hands still got cold.

So....I hear Jlynne knows how to throw a party  

TGIF....have a great day

T-Bo..............speaking of which, he is doing awesome in Denver - 4 &1 as a starter 

I stopped in to read about male models, and all I get is state capitals...  

Ok, that's two good laughs from the daily for me today.

Moscato is adorable! Thanks for the daily picture Mary!

Barbara - that's a cute joke! 

Steve - I enjoyed the pic you posted last night also. I fired up my computer at home and and DS saw that picture also - he let out a big "awwww!" Very adorable. 

I haven't taken any pics of B&B in over a month now. Need to do that. I'll get some this weekend - maybe when we got out running on our trail.  They don't appear to have grown much to me in the last couple months now though. Still right around that 57-60 lb mark. They seem so small to me, but then I'm used to my other 100 lb beasts.

I haven't been able to run even once yet this week. Well, I did run down the driveway and back with the dogs last night, but that's only about 4/10th of a mile. They needed to get rid of some of their energy. the fall/winter time is tough on these two energy-bursting dogs because they are indoors more. After a long night of heavy rain though, I'm seeing some blue sky out there so maybe it'll clear up a bit today and I can get in a RAL. Might only be a few miles, but I guess something is better than nothing.

Good luck to all our racers this weekend!!!  Looking forward to the day when I can put in the time to start training again and enter a few races.

Good job; you got them all.  Oklahoma, Carson, Salt Lake and Jefferson.  Well done.

I don't always post the Dallas Morning News running blog links here unless I think there was something that would have some appeal, but today I will because it's the story of Neal Bascomb, author of "The Perfect Mile" running the Marine Corps Marathon, and worth reading I think.
