I am still looking for Wednesday, let alone the Weekend. Hee!

Crazysue, I love the outfits. That brings out memories. I started exercising when I turned 40 and kept going with aerobics.

Tuesday's workout was another 35 minutes of running, then intervals with coach. Since the ankles stiffened up after Monday's workout, I added 35 minutes of cardio DVD when I got home. Lo and Behold, I did NOT stiffen up. Somehow the cardio seems to be like a gradual slowing down or cool down. Anyway, it works.

Today will be a track run, then out with a friend and a little study after that.

Happy runs, All!   :::HUGS:::

Lisa re quad soreness probably them working harder with the feet giving out. They were probably taking up the slack from the feet

had to leave early today for meeting. I wanted to run 10 and didn't have time since I've never been to this office and wasn't sure where it was (they just moved it).  I wanted to make sure with traffic etc and give time if gps wasn't exactly right. Since I couldn't run what I wanted I didn't run. Maybe later if I'm not at centers until late tonight.

I am beat. I have been trying to fight off a migraine since Monday. It's my normal, every 3 months migraine. Hit hard this morning at 5 a.m. after two days of feeling generally tired and achy. Being swamped at work has not helped things. I'm hoping to feel good enough after work to get some sort of exercise in - a run if the rain has stopped, or a short trainer ride in the basement if still raining.

camille, enjoy Mount Mitchell!! I am still thankful that when I ran there the weather was bad enough that they wouldn't let us take the trail all the way to the top, so we ran the last few miles to the top on that road!

Susan, I was surprised how far along they are. They originally said January completion, then February, now it may be January again. I'm planning on moving down the middle of March so the house doesn't sit vacant too long - if they keep up at this pace I may have to move up my schedule! For those not on facebook, this is the progress on our new house:

When finished, those windows on the side will look out onto the next house (which hasn't been started yet). Welcome to suburbia! Our lot is narrow but long, which will allow for a good sized pool in the back.

Marjorie, hope you are able to get a run in!

Karen....

I was thinking of going to Toledo the day before.   Not really liking the idea of an hour drive that morning.  House looks like it is going to be really nice.

Feeling under the weather today so took a sick day.

I meant to check back in here days ago, sorry that didn't happen!   I don't have an awesome RR for you but below is a short and sweet recap plus some pics.  I saw Lisa's and GinnyB's race reports -- well done ladies!  And CrazySue, loved the jazzercise outfits!  I'll be back here this weekend to catch up with everyone else.

Came back from Toronto late on Monday after a great weekend with 25 gals from the Ladies Locker Room forum here on RA.  On Sunday, I and a few others in the group ran the Toronto marathon, a few ran the HM, some ran the 5K, and some just spectated.  Lots of fun, and the race was very well done too.  Mostly flat, with a couple small hills and overpasses. Weather was perfect, in the 40s at the start and around 60 at the finish.  I ran with a couple of friends for about 18 miles, when I started feeling pain in my lower back.  (Not sure why, maybe I need more core strength?  It just started happening this year on long runs.)   Anyway, I stopped a few times to stretch out my back and finished in 4:23:56, which I'm happy with.

This is me (on the right) and my two friends at around mile 10.  The photo was taken by race staff using my friend's camera -- they were going by on a motor bike and she handed it to them.

Finished!
