LRB - any idea where there might be an indoor track in my neck of the woods?

I would guess one of the high schools, the problem is they don't really advertise that sort of thing on the internet.  U of M opens its track at times but it's usually by invite only.  I have checked the community colleges (Oakland/Macomb) but to no avail.  Gonna try runmichigan next.

The cat just keeps going!

As does the one sitting there watching it.  It's like a comedy routine!

 

Yep, that's the one.  Most I've ever done is 50 laps and that was enough for me.   I might show up to cheer y'all on though.

You'll have a big window for catching me - I'm sure I'll be in the 4:15-4:30 range. I'm pretty sure Bruce D and Adam (12EasyMiles) are both running the marathon as well. Runningmama should be there to spectate (unless I can convince her that running it with me would be a safe long run and not risk her Boston goals). And at one time there was talk that MadisonMandy might drop by. Could be a really fun chance to meet people.

I have heard this rumor too.  If Mandy cookies will be there,  I will for sure.

There might be cookies anyway - apparently cookies are a tradition at the Icebreaker, and I jumped into a FB discussion and mentioned gluten-free, and I think I may have just gotten myself into baking cookies to bring: chocolate chip oatmeal with craisins. And gluten-free so I can eat them. Sometimes I add walnuts, too, and call them "runner recovery cookies" - carbs, healthy fats from the walnuts, "fruit" from the craisins ...

I'm running a 5k tomorrow for my 3rd time. 2 years ago it was around 60 and I ran in shorts. Last year 40 wasn't bad. Tomorrow at race time the feels like is supposed to be 1. I have run regular runs in colder weather, but never a race below 25. That will suck but I'm showing up.

On a good note I'm no longer on the fence about doing a half in NH next month. It is 60 minutes north and colder.

Damn, that is COLD! That reminds me, it's going to be 72 today so I may need sunscreen.
