Shiver me timbers has no one run yet tis morning? Add me to that list as I took one more rest day just. Feeling better but didn't lay out the right clothes for such chilly Michigan morning. Ribs will be havin' me walk the plank for sure. Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

Morning Girls and the rest of ya Holly good luck tomorrow, Mary enjoy that rest... Yesterday's thread, was a blast...... Went out with MrsRoy and the dog, yes my Woody, first 3 miles with them then last 2 solo so it turned into a progression run 11:42/138, 12:14/133, 11:57/135, 08:31/169, 07:57/171 overall average pace10:29/146 Good runs All Roy

Top of the morning to everyone ...and TGIF Mary, you ought to be well rested for your runs this weekend, huh?...yeah, your going to here about it from the old grumpy guy. Good luck at your race Holly...and have fun . I have tried the Enlyten strips off and on, and think I like S-Caps a lot better. During running, I find it hard to pull those little strips out of their little container. Yeah, I am still laughing about yesterdays daily also....that was a big hoot, and broke up some of the tension that was building up with a few folks. Steve, sounds like you may be back...I truly hope so for you my Friend. I miss Bill already...hope you come back soon . 7 easy miles for me in 1:02.25 - 8:55 ave pace. No heel or feet pain at all which I am so thankful for this close to my Marathon. Like I told Ribs last night, the only thing I changed were my shoes. I need to call my running shoe store and thank Tom Miller, the running tech that spent sooo much time with me trying to "get it right"...super swell - patient guy. I also have to admit my heel and foot pain was a lot worse than I let on...I didn't want to here for me to stop running. Some of my runs were ran with tears in my eyes when I started running, and finishing. That's why it is so great that new shoes made the pain go away, even with Weds long run and track workout. Well, 30 mile weekend coming up, and going to bed super early tonight so I can start my 20 plus miler earlier than normal to beat the anticipated heat...I am sick of running in hot weather. Well, back to the hot tub with Tammy, and topless Carolyn ...by the way Carolyn, nice race for you and liked you RR. Funny about your Insurance guy. I manage a collision center and State Farm is the best and easiest Ins Co I deal with...but they are all rotten Have a great day all, Tim

Avast ye land lubbers! Have ya no respect for the day's nat'l holiday? http://www.talklikeapirate.com/howto.html

morning everybody, Mary, I'm glad you're feeling better. thanks for starting us-- Happy tlap day . Denise, how's your back? evryday, have a nice visit. I've been sick since Tuesday, a cut back week so perfect timing. . I forget if I posted anything. Monday was an hour of prehab & other things. Tuesday 3.61 miles, average pace 9:15, max 7:27, then the weight machines etc. It's been quite a week around here! Still feel awful but much better, so I just had a short run. 3.06 miles, 10:03 average pace. max was 8:57. ahr 167, max 181. then just reverse crunches & stretches. it sure felt good. mta: Bill, I'm glad you're back. mary... I thought about this special day last month, & even earlier this week, then forgot this morning until I saw your post. good thing there's someone keeping us on track. now, where's TW?

Sue, best of luck in your Philly HM! Bill

Aaarrrrgh hopeful I'm on board. No run for me today so may have to walk the plank. Sleep won that debate today. And for the baseball haters the Cubs magic number is down to 2!!

Oh my. Where do I start? All right, first a definition: anyone know what a slugfest is? In baseball it's a term used when two teams run up the score. But here on the daily it also means a person who takes several days off from running and sleeps in when she should be out there pounding the pavement. I am not mentioning any names of course. Bill, no worries. If you hadn't posted today I was going to read your run on Kick and rewrite it here anyway. I too enjoyed the laughfest of yesterday's thread. It has been quite a while since we have let go just a bit. You are an enormously fun group of people to be with. Clearly that doesn't include all of you, as some of you are pretty much losers. I don't like to name names, but for a list of those I am referring to, click here: http://www.runningahead.com/groups/MastRun/Forum/ba9b4551328745b689a933d834028743 Headed out to walk. I feel fine today but I want to run tomorrow at the lake, so today will be a walk only. I'll be like a dog fighting a leash. Spareribs
