Good morning Lou. Nice run. Choose wisely when you vote. 5.75 very windy miles at 8:53 min/mile pace. Fortunately I noticed the trees and flags whipping around before I started, so I went the opposite way I usually run - to make sure I went into the wind to start and with it coming back. The wind had to be a constant 30 to 35 mph. I felt like I was hardly moving there for the first few miles. Bill

DaveinAA is absolultely "glowing" this morning!! Nice way to start the day with a fellow boomer and of course, Tory too!! Nice runs for WRFB in the light snow, and Bill blowing in the wind! We went to the gym last night. I rode 4 miles on the recumbant bike and then concentrated on the lower body for weight work. This morning I was awake well before the alarm as I still fight a headache that started last night. Popped a couple of Advil and was out by 5 a.m. for a 4.5 mile run. Average pace - 11:09 - average HR 163. It was 8 degrees with -5 (or so) windchill. Crunchy snow with some fresh flakes just starting to fall. Another lovely morning. Happy 2s'-Day!! ~Mary

Good Morning, Nice runs and great photo from some glowing guys. Thanks for sharing. Five miles for me this AM on a hotel treadmill in Cincinnati. I was tired from travel and some tense stuff with my brother, so I bagged the longer run and just did my best to keep it going. I did ramp up the speed and the incline---1 mile wu and then 4 miles in 28:21 at 2% incline in the third mile---38 minutes overall at 5:30 AM. Driving to Dayton, Ohio this evening and hoping to run with Holly on Wednesday and Thursday! Looks like the predicted storm of doom there was not as bad? Good day and happy voting to all those heading to the polls. I voted by absentee ballot last week and even though I was all by myself in City Hall, it felt powerful (this after listening to my grandmother describe what it was like when women got the right to vote in the first place---she remembers that quite clearly) Enjoy!

...very cool perch//........make sure he doesn't take her home with him.......

Good Morning! WRFB – almost exactly those conditions here when I headed out today. Perch – thanks for the picture of 2 handsome Boomers to start me off with a smile. I expect BOTH of you looked like you were flying along effortlessly. I don’t know about Tory, though, he looks a little scary in that photo….Have you had him checked for demons? CNYrunner – of course, the news stations were predicting 8-10 inches of snow, and there’s about 2” out there now with 4-6” predicted throughout the morning, but watch out on your drive up for the wintry mix – that ice layer is treacherous. We should have clear roads for our morning run, though. Hill workout on the schedule for today, but heavily falling snow and a light layer already on the ground made it too slick for Big Hill Road, so I did repeats on a less-steep-but-still-challenging ¼-mile hill on the next block. Slippery footing made for slow journeys up the hill, but on the trips down I let loose, remembering advice from CNYrunner, leaning forward and running with childlike abandon. My slight terror that I might slip and fall only added to my exhilaration as I fairly flew down the hill (wheeeeeeee!) – rare moments of running joy…. 10 slow-paced miles in 19 degrees through the light snow, including 8 hill repeats. Snow/ice day for the kids, and my dentist office called to cancel this morning’s appointment, but there’s no getting out of work today for me – trial prep to do for a nasty divorce. Ah well…. Happy Tuesday!

Good morning, all! Lou - good to see you at the top of the list! Where's PDR? Nice progressive 6.35 mile treadmill run. I'm starting to get used to these mindless runs on the treadmill - it's time to get back to the roads if the weather would cooperate. Looks like another winter blast is going to hit us later today. Good runs to all!
