some call me Tim
30 mins on snowshoes today.. it's nice to give my feet some more time to recuperate, but some real running would be nice
qotd: Mickey D's a couple dozen years ago. Food was gross, but it was fun. I worked the 'grill' in the early AM - it's crazy how many eggs they go through in a morning.
ME WEBLARG
Are we there, yet?
Rest day today
QOTD: First job was washing pots and pans at a bakery. I last one day. Didn't get another job until after graduating from HS. Worked as an office boy for $1.65 an hour for a year before heading off to college.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
Been recovering from jetlag for a day or so, so some sleeping, running, lounging over the last few days. I also slept in one day 'cause it was 15*F and blowing a gale, dang this is my first real winter in a long time (lived in TX too long, I'm not used to such cold stuff anymore I guess.) I'm planning on doing 5 or 6 miles after work today.
qotd: I had a paper route delivering early morning papers, I hated getting up so early. I also worked as a deckhand on a ferryboat in the summertime. Not sure which one of those jobs actually came first though. I also had a clam boat and dug clams for a while, that was hard work, but I was my own boss.
tbd.
Faster Than Your Couch!
3 fast instant miles with DD. She pushed me to the limit, speedwise...
Now I feel old.
Jamie: I remember a very tall, very slim guy, that I thought might fall over with leg cramps any second, but I am not sure on which section that was, on Bald Knob Ridge Trail (where you remember), or on the last downhill, on Old Laurel Run Trail (where I think it was?). Could have been you, I always have wondered. Funny how these things work.
You should give it a push and get ready for the Rothrock, at least we would have fun suffering together, as usual
No run today but I will hop on the stationary bike later to work up a sweat. All this talk of Rothrock has me salivating to get back in there and just do it. Marie - the only time I ran Rothrock (in 2011) you ran it too but this was before we knew each other. I have a vague memory of being passed by a little-ish female who asked me if I was alright (I was walking at the time on a fairly flat trail after the big boulder climb) and had a European accent. I think it was you. I remember later we compared our finishing times and we were close. What are the chances that was you?? (Weird how our minds remember things). QOTD: Ummm....It was a cleaning job just not sure which came first - cleaning a church or an elem school. Let me tell you, custodians do not get enough credit. I worked as a PT school custodian and those kids were disgusting. The FT custodian left the nasty stuff to me. But I remember having fun going into place in the school (which I attended when I was younger) that I had never been in as a student always wanted to (i.e. the teacher's lounge, the spooky backroom off the cafeteria, the weird speech therapy office). Good question - thanks for helping me bring back memories. Have a great day!
