Love the photos, etc. LRB.  Lol.  I can relate to the senior ones.  Why can I remember all my favorite classic rock songs from 40 years ago...but I can't remember where the heck I put my phone down just two minutes ago......

Way to get out there in the rain, flarunner, and get it done!

Luke, what we all did before cell phones, was actually have lots more face-to-face communication with people.  That, and spend a helluva lot of time trying to find a damn payphone if an emergency happened.   Do payphone phone booths even exist anymore?   Old-time phone booth scenario:  Clark Kent runs into a phone booth to change into Superman, starts getting undressed.  Quickly a cop comes up.."Hey fella, what are you doing in the phone booth?"  "I'm changing clothes, officer, I'm Superman, I have an emergency to take care of."   "Right..get out of that phone booth right now!"  "But officer, I tell you, I'm Superman! See, I've got a red "S'..    "Uh huh..if you don't get out of that phone booth right now, I'm gonna give you a red S! "   (previous scenario was from on old comedy skit done by Bill Cosby when he did live comedy on-stage).

Yeah, that darn work, Dave, always interfering with our running.  Hope you get your run in.

SUSchnauzer, so darn sorry for your loss.  I feel for ya, I lost my mom in December.  It's tough.  It will get better with time. Sounds trite, I know, but it is true.  You never really get over it, but you do learn how to live with it. Keep running, it does help, it's good therapy.

Good luck with your recovery miles, Shirfan.

Awww, very nice, Just B.S.  Obviously, you picked a keeper!   Enjoy the swim-date!  After saying that, I have pictures in my head now, lol, of you and DH, and music and you two doing 'sychronized swimming'  moves like in those old time movie musicals where they had swimming scenes.

Nice tutu  photo, lilac!  You look great!  That one's a keeper.   Like all the running shoes background too, nice touch.

Sorry about the rain, Tom.  Are you getting the same kind of rain as Damaris gets in Miami...streets flooded, etc?  Stay safe.

Nice running, Jedi!

Congrats on the 5.1, Robert and making all right in your world again.

Sorry about your sore area, April, but glad you have found out what seems to be the problem.  Enjoy the SRD.  Thanks for taking the photo, that was great!  Wait a minute...why isn't there a photo of you too? Or one of both of you together?  Hey now!  

Hope you can get your run in, Bruce.  Enjoy your DS'  play, good luck to him!

Long distance relationship is tough, Kristin; make the most of the time you have together.

Happy recovery miles, Fuzzy.

Aww, Kay....this is for you!

Nice running, FreeSoul, way to go.  Yeah, I can relate about the stomach thing.  I can look down now and see the tops of my toes again!

Scrape, hope your day gets better.

You are in North Texas, Pinktastic?  I did not realize you were in Texas.  I am SO observant, lol.  Woohoo, we might be able to have a future FE someday.  Yeah, it was chilly in Texas this morning!  However, I think we warm up lots faster down here in South Texas than you do up North.  We are heading right now towards 68 degrees for a high.

Behave yourself for your HM, outoftheblue.  Enjoy your dinner tonite with your sweetie.

Got 6.1 miles in at lunchtime. 

Considering the short distance, felt a bit rougher than usual, I think due to running last night. I have never done doubles, but spacing <24 hours apart feels like it to me.

I have the most wonderful wife. A few days ago, she says to me "We're not doing anything for each other for Valentine's Day, right?"

So who am I to argue? She is totally not into it, would much prefer I surprise her with flowers on a random occasion. Which actually I never do, much to her dismay. But she has stayed married to me for nearly 19 years, so I must be doing something right.

Pink...Nice job with your morning run.  I almost always go with the gloves since they're pretty easy to take off and tuck in my waistband if I get too hot.  Enjoy the rest of your work from home day.

OutofBlue...Your point about athletes is spot on.  I'm sure that our heroes from past generations behaved in the same ways, it was just that we had far less knowledge of it because of how much more minimal the media coverage was.  Your dinner sounds very tasty...hope you have a great night and enjoy your rest before your HM.

RunTom...Awesome job on the 2 mile repeats, and way to finish strong.

Lilac...I don't know why, but I assumed you were older than you are.  Very cute pic at the running wall.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  Scotty, what a great story....Happy Anniversary!  I took the day off so D7lH and I went to a local running trail for our run today.  2 mile warm-up, 5 mile tempo (average 7:58/mile) and 1 mile cool-down.  Although I got it done, it was just a really bad run.  I felt like I was working WAY too hard and I had to stop a couple times to stretch my ITB, which is all of a sudden acting up again.  I am going to the chiro in a few minutes so hopefully that will help.  I hope I haven't chosen a goal for my HM that is too fast...I really don't think so but will re-evaluate in a few weeks!  Have a great day guys!

That's awesome!!!  Congrats!

Got the report back, no fractures!!!!!!  I am so freaking happy right now, can't even describe it.   They put me on antibiotics, might be a touch of infection causing the swelling, but I can keep running!!!!!!!!  The report said the lines were just from growth.  I am one happy camper.

Now there's some Valentines Day love!  Awesome.  I'm confused though...you're still growing?

Dave, that's freaking awesome news!! I am so glad to hear it!!

 

SIAR, I'll be turning 30 in a few months. Is that closer?

Yes, you definitely look that or younger in the pic you posted.  I think it's probably just because your avatar picture is shot from further away.
