I even ran in shorts today! Nice job on the PR - you are setting yourself up nicely for your BQ marathon!
That's movin' right there! Nice job, shorti! 'Morning, kids! I worked for six hours this morning, which I am not thrilled about but I sure did get a shitload of work done. I was feeling buried and today helped ease some of that, so going in was worth it. Then I ran 6.25 miles, and 48 degrees felt so, so nice with all the cold weather we've had lately. More of the same tomorrow.

Yeah, nice. But are the W2s ready?
Holy crap, Shortii, nice time! Is your stomach feeling better now? Beer helps with that...
I also had a vision of Dave, clenching his luggage tightly to his chest (like a bear hug).
I did manage to get in my 11 miles today, only I was dumb unprepared and chose a route packed full of snow. So I didn't hit my paces, but I nailed it on effort level. I'm trying to reason with myself and call that a win.
ETA: Yeah, Bert--we're on the same team!!! Kick some butt!!!
ETA x 2: My coach bumped me up to 6 days of running next week! Weeeeeeeeee!
I lost my rama
Runshortii - Congrats!!! That's a great time!
sdWhiskers - I think the autocorrect is actually right.
ROS - Way to get it done for the team! Yeah, in rough conditions effort is the way to go. I've done so many miles on trails last year, it's laughable that some of my hardest runs are also my slowest. Haha!
Docket - One Flakey Flakey coming right up!
3/17 - NYC Half
4/28 - Big Sur Marathon DNS
6/29 - Forbidden Forest 30 Hour
8/29 - A Race for the Ages - will be given 47 hours
Today felt like spring with temps in the low 50s and a little sunshine. The snow is almost gone, only the puddles remain. I ran 12 easy.

Meh, they're ready enough.
<3
I'll owe, so no need to rush. lol
+1. And I wouldn't be mad if some paperwork got "lost".
And I will have an Affordable Beer Act, please.
onemile - Glad you got some balmy weather for the weekend!
The government already sent my W2. I guess they knew even though we still have not heard anything about the shutdown.
3 outside.

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.

That's just wrong. Pay up, but we won't pay you. Sorry Damaris.
I heard the WH press conference and I know for a fact that all employees have not been notified about the shutdown nor whether we are excepted or not, so they lied right there. My agency has not received any information and has not put it down the line as of right now.
1:36:32 at the F^3 HM in Chicago. I finished and proceeded to dry heave so I would say it was a success
Congratulations! That’s awesome! (The success, not the dry heaving)
I ran the F3 HM this morning. I knew going in that I was not in PR shape, so I just ran a medium effort pace and enjoyed it. It was good. I didn’t look at my watch at all, which felt both weird and fantastic. Temps were mid 30s and partly sunny, so almost perfect. I did not PR, but I did beat last year’s time on the same course so I’m happy with that. Today kicks off marathon training, so it was a great way to help me get focused and ready for it. 16 weeks to Starved Rock!
Bravo!
+1. We say it in English too.
Shortii, you are going to crush your next marathon. You should be able to go sub-3:30.
Dave
Nice work, KC! Even w/no PR, and I love it that you didn't even look at your watch. For my easy paced runs I've been trying to do that more.
