GR--the half marathon. I expect to see you at the marathon starting line next year...with me and a few other RA folks (assuming they can heal from their injuries). k

I would sure like to be there. Usually my parents are still at the cabin in the UP this time of year but we could still stay at their house. It's only 30 miles from GR. I'm anxiously awaiting race reports from all you GR marathoners.

At the end of the day, be happy with where you are and what you've accomplished.

I'm an idiot. I knew that. Sorry!!!! GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!!! Kick some serious butt (and not your own!). Planning on breaking your recent PR? And, fwiw, I'm now officially (ok, unofficially as I haven't, ya know SIGNED UP) gunning for the GR Full next year. It'll be my first, and you can add me to your list RA peeps that'll be there! KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES!!!! And I'll be thinking of you tomorrow 'bout the time I lace 'em up for my run!

Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.

Relentless. Forward. Motion. <repeat>

Thanks, Mike! Next year is going to be so fun! Smile

As much as I'd like to blast my recent PR, I'd be happy just to be under 2:05. The last month or so has been rough and my allergies are kind of putting a damper on things, so we'll see. Sometimes I surprise myself. Big grin

Awww! Heh, I sorta thought about that when you wrote you were going to pick it up today. (Nothing like mentally inviting myself somewhere, you know!?) Big grin

Thanks for asking! Unfortunately, I have Mr. Medicated here at home!! My littlest missed school Wed-Fri and has been fighting a fever; got up to 104- it was all I could do to keep it down. I think today he's much better. I haven't had a chance to go shopping (or anything else), so while DH is here, I'm going to get out and grab groceries and run errands. Have you guys seen Shrek 3? It's one of the Dove movies playing through the 1st at the Cinema Carousel. Even if it was on a weekday, would you guys be interested in seeing it? I'm assuming we'll all be well over here eventually.... Tongue

The later movie usually starts 5ish, so we'd still be able to get everyone fed beforehand (although...what time do D&D get home?) and back in time for bed. We haven't seen it, so I'd like to try to go.

Ooh, we haven't seen it yet, either--and Dane has half-days all next week for conferences, so that would be perfect! We could even do an earlier show, since I will be picking him up before lunch all week long. Smile

Yeah, I might just do that. And maybe one of my cheap-ass pair of lightweight fleece gloves that I can toss if I end up not wanting to deal with them. k

About a week ago, I put a duffel bag on the floor and I've been adding items to it as I think of them. It has Accelerade, bandaids and Aquaphor lotion, second set of running socks and shoes. It also has a "disposable" long sleeve cotton tee and a pair of old socks that I'll wear as mittens before the start if it's cold. If I wind up wearing them to start, the tee and sock-mittens will wind up getting ditched somewhere on the course. Is premeditated littering a felony? Hope this is one of those occasions you surprise yourself Zoomie, if not then just have LOTS of fun! Modified to add: just put Crocs in the bag for post-race relaxin'

My kids don't have conferences till the following week, so the 5ish movie would be the earliest we could go. Would did wanna come? D's not a big talker, but I know he'd like to see the movie too! We could meet at the theater. I'll call you later tomorrow or Monday...give you some recovery time!! Smile

Wouldn't that just blend in with all the other littering of cups, etc.? Big grin

Ed, I've been thinking about the cheap socks on the hands thing, too. I've heard of people doing that, as well. k

Oh, and Joni...I forgot to wish your little guy a get well (racey spacey). Fevers in kids are so awful to deal with. It does leave a parent pretty cabin-fevered, themselves. (((HUGS)))

I've been playing a lot of movies for DS since he's been sick most of the week. Yesterday I put Shrek 2 in and I got sucked into the thing again!! I was trying to get a little done around the house (btwn answering to my DS's requests! Ha!) and I'll be darned if I didn't end up watching the whole movie for the ...what?....145th time!? I LOVE Shrek. I have an especially soft spot for Donkey. Blush
