The sugar rush of two donuts this morning is starting to wear off...zzzzzzzz.    Someone poke me in an hour to make sure I'm still alive.

SRD for me today.  Jamie caught that I was "tapering" yesterday.  I may or may not be registered for a 6 hour race tomorrow.  That said, I will not be running for 6 hours.  My plan is to run for 5-6 miles and then walk until I get bored with walking.  A couple of trailers from the old day will be there.  Deana (aka mnkiwi) and Dan (aka METAL/Big Boi/Cupcake.)  It's a 2 mile trail loop.  Should be fun!  I haven't pinned on a race bib in a long time.

QOTD:  Speaking of donuts, I had a chocolate frosted chocolate donut and an apple cider donut for breakfast.  (Carb loading, or something.)  What's your favorite kind of donut?  Or (if we've already done this question before...can't remember) if you could invent your own donut, what would it be?  I would like some kind of pumpkin donut with a cream cheese cream in the middle.

SRD today, and final packing for our trip to Jackson Hole, WY.  We have a few wedding things we need to attend, but the rest of the week DW and I will be hiking, running and exploring.

QOTD:  Apple fritter (If fritters count), otherwise I love Lent because of fasnachts on Fat Tuesday.

Sue- If you're familiar with the movie "Van Wilder", you can understand why the thought of easting custard filled donuts turns my stomach.

So I apparently thought it was still Thursday despite the many obvious signs that it is truly Friday.  Travelling a bit for work recently has me all screwed up.  That said, maybe a run later tonight.  We'll see.

Mandy - 6 hours event? Don't give in to the temptation to run more than 5-6 miles (or whatever your Dr. or PT says)

QOTD: I have come to learn lately that the best donut it a fresh one.  DW had been buying a "cheap" box at the grocery store for the kids to have a treat at breakfast.  But they are cheap because they are old.  Nothing like a fresh donut.  My favorite are the ones they make at the Farm Show in Harrisburg, PA every January.  Not sure what they are made of exactly.  I think they advertise them as potato donuts.  Whatever the case they are super good, super fresh and go really well with a fresh milk shake.  Shoot....now I'm hungry!

Have a great day!

Walked acouple miles at work this morning, 10 ft back and forth thousands of times. Did mot get bored, though, I believe something called "time pressure" had something to do with it.

That "shoe" thing on my foot is working its magic, no pain any more. Hey, I feel like going for a run! Wait, maybe I should give it another day or two. 

QOTD: I don't like donuts, I just can't digest fried foods properly. I "enjoy" them for days... but if it has to be, a maple-glazed cinnamon roll topped with loads of pecans is doable.

Enjoy the day, everyone, and good luck for the race, Mandy!

Got in 3 speedy miles in on the hiker-biker trail.  An out and back, and managed to keep up the pace on the uphill return.  Felt really good.  Maybe I need to stick to short & quick runs?  Or maybe its the weather?

Yumm, donuts.  Cinnamon glazed twists, or chocolate frosted.  Or anything with coconut.  Just not any of those filled donuts.  The thought just turns my stomach and I haven't seen that movie.

good luck to the racers, pacers and volunteers  this weekend!

I guess kind of a rest day though I did do some core and weights this morning. My intervals of yesterday were the fastest I had turned in a couple years and I basically felt it in my old body all day. Can't wait to do it again next week.  Have a couple good runs planned for up north this weekend. My running has really come around recently, my future looks bright though limited.

I think you are crazy! 6 hours of walking a 2 mile loop and the word fun thrown in??? Really?  Why don't you come over to my place and walk behind my lawn mower. Only takes 2 hours to do my yard. I'll even pin an old bib on you and give you a beer when you are done.
