Ran 6 easy miles today. Legs feel really good from my weekend efforts. Trails are muddy but winds are drying them out a bit. Now going to cross train by picking up branches and sticks in the back yard which will take me probably 2 hours.
QOTD: Any St. Patrick's Day plans? Heading to an Irish pub at 4:00 for a long afternoon. By the end of the night there should be 12-14 of us drinking a Smithwicks's or two.
“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!
I like Smithwicks. Have fun.
I'll run about 5 after work. My mind is not on running right now. I am ready to get in the woods with a shotgun and kill some turkeys. I do have a 10 mile trail race this weekend, so maybe I should rest. Nah, I don't need a taper for a 10 mile run.
QOTD: Nothing in particular.

6.4 miles this morning, did a little bit on some trails but they were quite sloppy yet.
QOTD nothing in particular, later on we are going to Middle Creek wildlife preserve to see the Snowgeese, they estimate there's 110,000 of them there.
Le professeur de trail
I hope to get in a run tonight with route and distance TBD.
Muppy - that many geese? Wowza!
Jon - (from yesterday's daily) - I am jealous. Sounds like a great living situation for you. Would love to see some pictures - especially from your home looking at your "backyard". Did I mention I was jealous?
QOTD: I get to work all day on this find St Pattys Day. Yay for me! So nope, just a normal day for me.
Have a great day!
My favorite day of the week is RUNday
Had 5 easy and enjoyable miles this morning. Found a spur section off my normal morning trail that I didn't know was there, had fun exploring it.
QOTD: St Pattys is also my wife and I's anniversary, but we aren't big into "special dates"...so we'll probably crack a couple beers and catch up on some of our shows once the kids go to bed. We're crazy like that.
Ran by this sign at an intersection between White and Blue Blazes. Seemed fitting enough for me.
Sue
Lunchtime 5 is planned.
QOTD: Well I have my Kelly green sweater on today with a skirt and green argyle socks...heading to Gary's for $2 pint night after work and than sushi dinner..Way that last one does not quite fit.
DerekF: St Patty's day was our first date 22 years ago.

Yesterday's yoga became today. No run planned.
qotd: I was turned off St Patrick's day in middle school due a teacher-nun who preached about the purity of her irish lineage to the point of being offensive/racist, getting slapped with a 'wish I were Irish' sticker (I was proud of my own heritage, thank you), and fed sickly green donuts after mass. I figure I have had enough of St Patricks Day for my lifetime. Now, if we want to talk Norwegian fish ball Wednesdays...
Muppy-- how long will they stay around? Must be an incredible sight.
some call me Tim
RD for me today, not that I feel like I need it.
qotd: I've got corned beef and cabbage in the crockpot. I have no great love for drunken hooligans so I'm unlikely to go out, but gosh, I'd eat corned beef once a week if the rest of the fam would go for it.
ME WEBLARG
Never had a Swithwick.....hmmm.
Ho-hum, another day of lounging around on the beach. Did a 6 mile trail run at another state park about 10 miles away. Decent trails for Florida anyway but even the dirt around here is a good percentage of sand. So between the sun, the heat, and sand my legs just feel like lead. But we persevere, it's rough let me tell you. I'll be up early to run the beach tomorrow with the low tide. Pretty favorable though there won't be much scenery around that early (damn).
AT--love the sign. Awesome!
Blarg--while I have been a drunken hooligan myself maybe on an occasion or two, I'm with you on avoiding that stuff.
QOTD--Well about the only thing will be some sort of seafood somewhere shortly. DW is on trip advisor right now doing some research. But back to camp right after with a campfire and some cold brews on ice. Kinda boring I guess.
Ohh, not to imply that I've never been a drunken hooligan
Are we there, yet?
10.3 miles on the roads in mild temps.
QOTD: Had the opportunity to sample a number of Irish beers, including Guinness and Smithwick, on a trip to Ireland two years ago. My favorite was one only available locally from the Dingle Brewing Co. Besides getting in a long run today, I'll be watching NIT and NCAA play-in games.

running under the BigSky
a little over 6 miles, stayed out of the hills as it rained all day (looks like decent snow above 7000') and knew it would be muddy, so ran at a local park- loop is about 1.25 and you can run on the edge of the paved path on the grass- although you do get a few looks when you stay on the grass
qotd: corned beef and cabbage- excellent! my DW got some really good Irish soda bread w/ currents in it, some of the best I've ever had
