    Sorry guys, gotta support my team! And no offense to any of you non-Vikings fans. The whole state of MN has been lighting up purple to support the Vikes for the game today. There's been a renewed sense of hope! Any other football watchers out there today?

    SRD here, and I'm grateful! Mentally gearing up for 6 straight days of running this week!

      We're green down here.

       

      Probably an unscheduled rest day. Have a pain on the bottom of my heel that hurts every time I push off. It comes and goes, some days I'm fine and others I hobble.

        Super B****

          UPS did not deliver my watch on Friday.  They did not deliver it on Saturday either, so I had to use my old 620 today, and I am pretty sure that I am NOT going to miss it.  Because the stupid thing shut down on me mid-run AGAIN and reset itself minus a quarter mile, or maybe it was .2 mile -- I was at a stoplight, and I was at 13.13, and then when it turned on again it was at 12.93.  I am displeased.


          And then I had to run a little bit extra so my watch should say at least 16.  LOGIC.

            Must be the latest software update - self correcting GPS watches.

              I live in Patriots territory.  While I am a Rams fan, the Patriots are my #2, though there is a large gap between 1 and 2 for me.  The Patriots insanity around here does not lessen at all from year to year, and folks don't get tired of all the winning.  The fans are rabid.

               

              I am headed out for my run now and my legs are tired. This may get ugly.  BRB!

                3.6 miles for my 36th! Threw in a few strides which made me laugh because they were so slow.

                 

                I live with a patriots fan so its inescapable. My 4 yo thinks every Sunday is Tom Brady day   I'm from PA so a Steelers fan.

                 

                Great race, KC!

                  This made me laugh. Mostly b/c, as you may know, the Vikings are so disappointing to watch so much of the time and we've never had to get tired of all the winning. B/c we hardly ever win. Big grin We have die hard fans here, too, but I'm sure not to the caliber of Pats fans!

                      SRD for me, besides this 12 hours of work nonsense. Thanks for the congrats yesterday! It was a nice race, I thought the course was kind of boring but flat and fast which was nice. Started with the 1:40 pacer so I wouldn’t go out too fast and left him after a couple miles, felt good til around mile 8 but managed to keep a good pace.  Back to the grind tomorrow 

                       

                      im a bears fan, I hate the Vikings. But I hate the patriots more.

                       

                      KC - nice job yesterday! It was a nice day for a HM. That’s awesome you barely looked at your watch, I look at mine too much

                          I had a nice run.  I kept the effort somewhere between easy and moderate, just to start getting the endurance back up.  10 miles at 7:43 avg pace on a hilly route.  I swear, any 10 mile run from my house in any direction is going to be harder than almost any HM course I do.

                            I remembered that I had a $25 gift card to the LRS that I got as an AG award last summer so I put it toward a pair of Ghost 10. Gave them a test run of 14 miles today. They feel a bit lighter than the Ghost 9. I liked them.

                              Good to hear! Although with all the 9s I have in inventory, I might end up going straight to 11.

                                We watched The Commuter in the theaters (aka, Taken 7). A good thriller.

                                 

                                Finally got a text about the office. I have to report briefly tomorrow to shut down my cases (give them to

                                the one that will be working, continuing hearings, etc)
