Barking Mad To Run
Thalposis: sensation of warmth.
Which is what i will have today, with our weather at 78 degrees. Nice!
Post 'em!

AFM...haircut today and then after that another random run. Beautiful day for it too, will be nearly SEVENTY-EIGHT degrees at 5 PM when I go for my run/walk. Today is my "Thriday" too...after today, I won't be back to work until Jan 3. Which I don't get, our HR has us coming back for ONE day to work on a Friday, after the holidays, and then we have the weekend. You would think HR would've just made that day a 'skeleton crew' day, sheesh. I feel a cough coming on...probably be really bad right around Jan 3....
Good morning, Scotty! I agree - that one day at the end of the week doesn't make much sense. Though I guess if you use it to clear the email inbox from two weeks off, then you can hit the ground running the next Monday. Maybe?
Temps in the 20s and cloudy here today. I wouldn't mind some sunshine. I will run after school drop-off - should be 8 miles, but I'm feeling kind of "blah." After school, DS & I will be ringing bells for the Salvation Army for a couple of hours. I plan to bring along a book for him in case he gets bored standing there.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
Supp peeps!
7 on the belt today which included 8 strides. The first 6 strides were at 5:24 for 35 seconds each, then the last 2 were 60 and 90 seconds respectively at 5:41. Man I love strides!
I am at work, what a drag. Holla back later!

'Morning! So we got a foot of snow in the last week, and it is all going to melt by the end of this weekend. That means I get my rail trail back. HOORAY!
Treadmill tonight. I've skipped speedwork for over a month now because it was really hurting my hip. Dare I say I think it's 100% healed, so I'll get back to some speedwork next week. MP and even HMP intervals wouldn't hurt it, but the sub-5K intervals would. I'll keep the speed dialed back a little for a while. It feels good to not hurt. I think I've already run more GMP miles heading into my next marathon than I did for my entire last marathon cycle, and technically I haven't even started training yet.

I got to run our rail trail a couple nights ago after a 5 inch snow......someone took the time to push the snow off for 5 miles of the trail.
Between work being busy and holiday parties after work i am having a hard time finding motivation to run. I hope to get a few miles on the TM at home after tonights parties. We will see. Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Hi Dailies.
As I contemplate what is next on the race calendar, I must say, the two week break is nice. Is late May too soon for another marathon?
I might go out for a 30 minute jog tonight.
See ya.
Morning! I have 12 on the schedule but still feel under the weather, so plan is 3+ and see how I feel. Trixie was taken to the vet for her biopsy today, which is at 2pm. Cross your paws for good news!
I am working on a big brief/order to file tomorrow, so see you later. It is actually time for me to cook lunch so I'm taking a break from all the brain frying.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Scotty it is pretty warm here for December. I'll take it. Running in short sleeve shirt and shorts is not so bad
6.2 miles. No tape today. It did okay. Now if the nerve root would stop acting up I'd be happy. But continued progress so I'll take it.
Step no, not rocking the tape....hahah. Just a better type of kinesio

SCORE.
Cripes, why do I get so flustered when the #2 guy in the company calls me with questions. "Uhhh derrhhhh ummmm yeah duh."
Uffda
Nice!
5 on the TM this morning for me @ an Easy pace. I actually am using Daniel's Easy pace for my vDOT. Slow and steady is all I can describe it.
I think it's time for some real food. I donated blood yesterday and I think I'm not fully recouped.

DW said "Let's go out early on Saturday, like 9AM, to finish our Christmas shopping." My first thought is that 9AM isn't that early. Hopefully I we can wrap it up this weekend. The older I get the more I'm liking the "Let's give them cash."
