Very nice day here in the Carolinas Smile

The dogs are lying in the sun on the deck sound asleep...looks so comfy! Hill tempo day. 8 moh with 4 at LT. First 4 mile loop 34:16 (8:36 pace). Second 4 mi loop (tempo effort.. and then some) in 31:04 (7:46 pace). This loop in Duke Forest has a couple hills so steep they make your lungs heave and your legs burn while feeling like you're moving at a turtle pace....but the downhills........ (overall 8 mi in 1:05:20 (8:10 pace, AHT 156)) Friday the 13th wierdness (spooky): Ran the tempo loop exactly the same time (31:04) as my fastest prior run 2 weeks ago... to the second.. wierd.

Hi all Cloudy and 32º here in Western, MA----ice and snow still quite abundant too. I arrived home this morning after a zero dark thirty flight from Cleveland,Ohio on Continental. It was a sobering flight to say the least as they de-iced the plane quite thoroughly. I was supposed to fly last night from Dayton to Newark and Newark to Hartford and all my flights were cancelled. I am beyond lucky and hugged Mr. CNYrunner extra hard when I walked in the door at 10:00 AM. The two runs with Holly were wonderful and went by all too quickly! I am still too jittery from this morning and went out for a two mile trot just now. Legs feel fine. I have an afternoon full of conference calls and need to get into focus mode again. Breger? How close are you to West Palm Beach? I may be there in early March... Embrace the gift today my friends CNYrunner

good morning! hi everybody. evryday, why was that an interruption? oh that's right. We are always on topic. Erika, Nono, thanks! You were both very helpful. Nono, I sleep with bent legs for my S/I joint. Roll eyes

I'll try taking turns. Maybe should make a chart. Wink

Peter... Nancy took the words right out of my mouth. Perch... you have multiple dogs? Nice run, spooky numbers. twilight zone music. My bug isn't quite gone (but much better Smile

) so I was a little uncertain driving to the gym. After I got there I realized I hadn't put my shoe inserts back in my Nike Frees (I'd washed them. was Very Important) So, it was really a barefoot run. A little uncertain about that. Started running & felt great. tummy ok, feet ok, very little pain. Love this running stuff. And then I tripped, in a major way, on a dry, flat indoor track. Didn't fall, but in catching myself I yanked my hamstrings and they didn't like it one bit. Tried twice again, after resting a little, but only managed a few more laps. Would have done more but a friend who is far wiser talked me out of it. Grace in motion, that's me. Was about 4.25 miles, average a 9:40 pace. Finished up with lower body weights & the usual stability ball set. happy Friday Smile

But did Tim click on the link??? Thanks Holly, that is MY sportsbra! Although being unendowed I could probably wear anything. Hmm...which colour should I order.... I recently bought a pair of shorts I like from them. http://www.championusa.com/Champion/Products/Women-Champion/Women_ShopByCategory-Champion/Women_Shorts-Champion/Women_Shorts_Bestsellers-Champion/CH3853.aspx I can't believe those are on sale too! Probably only gross colours though.

I'm probably committing the cardinal sin of posting before I run but there will be no time later. I am off to the gym to run 8 easy on the TM before going to pick up my dd and take her to gymnastics. We have a meet this weekend at our home gym that will consume most of the weekend, but I do hope to get in around 11 or 12 miles tomorrow morning. My favorite running bra is from Champion too but it's the one they sell at Target for pretty cheap. I'm sure I'm only getting away with it because I am extremely unendowed, but I really like them. They are coolmax or some such fabric and they don't chafe on long runs like a lot of others I've tried. I may try some of those shorts, though. Summer is coming and I have only a couple pair of running shorts in decent shape. Hope everyone has a good weekend filled with lots of good running.

Once a runner . . .

Perch... you have multiple dogs?

Sadie, the blonde, is our "foster" dog who we'll likely be keeping. Good match for Tory http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/lateboomer/toryandsadiejan09.jpg

Good morning Perch, of the multiple dogs. 5 miles for me and a stretch/core workout at the Y. I have 36 miles in for this week with tomorrow to go, and since tomorrow's plan is my club's Valentine's Day 4-mile fun run it looks like I will have a 40-mile week, like Breger. If so, I am going to keep the mileage at no more than 40 through the summer, and just gradually add quality to this small base, and then see where I am and what I want to do in the fall. But this seems like about the right plan. Tomorrow is also red dress day, so I will post some pictures. (And if that's not enough to make you flip your lid, there's one more thing, I've got the pink slip daddy.) Spareribs

Sadie Has got to be one of the most popular names for dogs. We are on our 2nd Sadie.....Both rescue dogs and kept the name that the Humane society had given them.

Sadie was my grandmother's name! It does seem to be making a comeback. Actually ran today, whoo hoo. 4 miles on the indoor track. I think I've solved my motivation problem. I'm going to sign up for the Maine Half Marathon in October (Maine, are you going to do the half or full this year?). I will take a 12-week Y class leading up to the race. M, W, and F mornings at 7 am! It costs $85, which is good because it means I will have dollars invested in it. It also means I need to get my weekly mileage up again so I'm ready for the young whippersnappers in the class. It's a "10K to HM" class, so there should be some people at my level in it. Off to drop DS's Eagle Scout application off at the Boy Scout council headquarters. Finally! It's been a long haul. SO many hoops to jump through. Now I know why there are not more Eagles around! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Happy Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day. Cool

2 miles on a treadmill at the gym then 21-15-9 reps of thrusters and pullups. Running a few more miles after work, something in the 6-8 range. Even though they are hard I am really enjoying my workouts.

Karin, I'm about an hour South. More than close enough for me to find a way to get up there for a run. How early in March? I'll be skiing the 1st week of March ... Say it ain't then! Bill
