Rabbit Rabbit! Roy and I started the thread at the same time - well almost -he beat me by one minute so let's use this one! Tongue

Nice run Roy - my fingers are crossed for you!! Out for 4.5 miles this morning with Brinkley and my neighbor. Looked over her way and didn't see any lights on, so I thought she was skipping out on me, but she made it. Another sluggish run. Probably a combination of training winding down and cutting calories. Avg. pace 9:55, ahr 167. A little warmer today - 45 degrees compared to yesterday's 28 degrees, so I took my jacket and gloves off at the 1.5 mile mark. Tied it around my waste in honor of Ribs! Smile

Wakey wakey everyone!! ~Mary

Yawn.....thanks for the wake up call Mary Smile

Work has been off the charts with 12 13 hour days...but have kept my running up. Last night 7 fairly easy miles, but need a break after 5 days running in a row and around 50 miles...will cycle with some roadie buds tonight to rest my running legs. Nice run Roy, and it's great to hear of improvement of your hip....fingers crossed here too Smile

Nice run to you too Mary...you sure have a higher AHR girl Smile

Glad your neighbor made it to run with you, along with Brinkley. Well, need to get started here at work...super busy again today. Have a wonderful day all. Tim

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

Good Morning! {{{Roy’s hip}}} Mary – cutting calories always makes my runs sluggish. Good thing I don’t do it that often… Wink

Tim - now that's dedication, to be able to keep up your running when you are working that much. 6.7 easy-paced miles for me today (ave pace 9:49) in 51 degrees. Legs felt good, slightly twingy, but that’s normal. Gotta run now - Happy May Day!

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Good morning, all! Roy - thanks for the kick off - hope the hip continues to improve. Tim - wow! Hope your workload declines to give you a little more breathing room. You're doing great with the running mileage in spite of the job. Twocat - sorry, the frigid weather did reach CT - setting record lows. It was 28 at my house this morning and 26 at the bank down the road. I did my easy 6.75 miles on the toasty treadmill. Even the spring peepers were subdued this morning. Good runs to all!

Roy - hope the hip issue just disappears soon. Poof. Nice job keeping up with the miles, Tim. I know that can be tough when it feels like you're always working. Just checked Erika's weather forecast for the rest of the week. Highs in the 50's, low's in the 30's (but above freezing). Wish we could send some sunshine her way - it looks kinda gloomy. A little cold at our place this morning; upper 30's. 6.0 miles at 9:26 pace - we'll call it on-the-speedy-side of GA. That felt good.

Low 70's here today and I'm on my way out for a short run. Forgot to mention that Twocat had an encouraging run the other day. Hope that calf heals up nicely, and Roy you be careful too with that hip. Breger is really enjoying this coached application of posting tapering isn't he? He is definitely teachable! Forgot to welcome annied the other day. Welcome! Mary, you didn't have to post that. I saw you running with your jacket tied around your waist. Remember, when in doubt, Spareribs sees all, knows all.

Sue you must be in the Canadian part of Connecticut! Smile

It is a relatively balmy 46 here in the south-west. Alas, no running for me today. I had a cyst taken out of my back yesterday (or the rest of one that was supposedly removed a couple of years ago). The surgeon said no running until Saturday. But starting then I plan to get back my membership in the 40/40 thread! I am pretty psyched about that. I hope everybody else has a good set of runs today.

Live like you are dying not like you are afraid to die.
