Hello everyone! Glad to see more RW people finding their way over here!! Today I did 5.5 and feel really good. I hope this is my turnaround. Now I have lots to do because my mom is flying down from MI. So excited to see her. Hope everyone has a great week.
QOTD- I don't have a list yet, need to work on that.

Well, My Tuesdaily was really Monday night. It gives me something to talk about today...
A cold fog has settled on the area and for the first mile I was chilled as I did an easy 4.5 miles while my daughter practiced with her 7th grade CYO basketball team. My calves were squawking about the trail run the day before as I ran up the hill...
A few pauses in the pace dropped the average below 10 minute miles. I flirted with low eights on the downhills though..
What am I asking Santa for? Haven't thought about it. Got plenty of running gear. A friend gave me a used Garmin 405 that is rather tempermental. I think I will give it back to him along with some venison and wild pork...

Steph- 'just the 25k'? A 15 mile trail race is damn good and nothing to sneeze at. Now...where are those cookies?

I know, I know, I have to stop say just the 25k. I have family that will be up there that weekend too doing the 50 miler. One of them just qualified for Western States, so sometimes I feel like I'm "just" doing a shorter distance.
Yes, I am not above bribery and since I can be easily bribed with food I always think others can be too. I did bake chocolate chip cookies and s'more bars this morning!

4.6 miles of "easy" trail today. I mean easy in the sense of not hilly. It's singletrack, and rooty enough to make me regret wearing road shoes

Steph...
I still feel like I am doing the "just" race.
At my first ultra, I was "just" doing the 50K, not the 50 miler.
At my first 50, I was "just" doing the 50 miler, not the 100.
At my first 100K, I was "just" doing the 100K, not the 100.
Someday I will not do a "just." It's all relative. Enjoy your 25K!

The 2nd 50k I ever ran also had a 50 mile version. I was there to watch them take off into the woods with their headlamps on and I instantly felt less than those runner's. I was in total awe that these guys were going to run 50 miles! I couldn't shake the feeling that they were all better runners and i would never be able to do what they were doing.
I've run a 50 miler since then and it's out of my system now.

we're enjoying some unseasonably warm weather for late November- high in the low 40's, perfect for running! got a nice 12 mile hilly run in this afternoon
qotd- I've been eyeing Ultimate Directions new Signature Series, particularly Andy's race pack- got an email they were in, checked on them and they were already out- guessing they should be back in stock before Christmas

Yours coming up as well?
I haven't given my list much thought yet, but now that you're mentioning it, I realize I have two chances of getting my headlamp! Yay!
Run for fun.
Cue music... "Please alow me to introduce myself... " With the new home I figured that I was due a name change. In another Forum in a galacy far-far away I was known as "Slowdown". Gosh I go out of the country for a few days and all hell breaks loose and we actually move to a new place !!! Were you guys trying to move without telling me? Gosh that hasn't happened to me since my parents moved while I was in College... (well just kidding, they did tell me where they were going.) Love it. Hey LB2, like your photo. Who's that cute short guy on the right? I did an easy 5 miles up river this morning. Rainy and cold here. I guess they are having some serious flooding here (here is England at the moment). Has it made the news back home over the pond? The ankle is feeling a bit better, but I am going to take things easy this week. QOTD: I think I'm getting coal this year...

Woohoo, you found the place, too. Not that I was doubting your navigation skills - definitely not after your 78-miler in England - rather the opposite! (insert smiley "in awe" here).
I had been off over Thanksgiving, too, and returned just in time to catch the train. Glad you made it. Let me know when you'll be in my area, I hope some snow on Tussey Mtn will remain until then!
