Awww, Coralie, that is so sad!
FWIW, I fed Rubio for 2.5 years as a stray before we let him in as our 5th cat. He disappeared for 3 months. I was so sad until one day he comes strolling back. Hope yours went exploring and is not the one that was killed.

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.

Hi Pens
Another busy week, one more day and then I'm on pseudo-vacation until after the new year while the kid's home from preschool.
I had my appointment at the sports medicine center today. X-ray looked fine, I go in for an MRI tomorrow morning just to make sure I don't have a stress fracture. Which I highly doubt at this point, but it'll be good to find out for sure. My shin has been much better since Tuesday's run - slight form changes plus higher turnover, left all the other muscles in my legs sore. RD today, weights tomorrow, contemplating being a bad girl and fitting in a couple short runs before I follow up with the results of the MRI on Wednesday next week. On the other hand, I guess it's not a bad time of year for a break. Hmph.

Afternoon all. Last night I got 8 miles in. Tonight's run has been postponed due to blizzard conditions. Hope you all are having a great day!
Run! Just Run!

mjsmith--- yikes @ blizzard conditions! Hope you're not snowed in for long.
I did a 10 mile run today with a few tempo miles in there. Felt great with the weather so cool. Was glad I had my ear muffs and jacket on though.

Return To Racing
Wanted to go see "Lincoln"' but times didn't work out. Warm, but light rain out, so we're going to go out for lunch and do some shopping. We'll have next several days running around in circles.

oh I'm back, I forgot to say I LOVE the title of today's penguin thread! And while I'm here I want to give Kristin and Scotty both hugs. Kristin that was such a sweet apology.

I wish I could access this site at work so I could do personals, the iPhone just doesn't cut it for that! 3 miles for me this morning! Treadmill of course, but I did 1.5 of them at 3% incline!! Do you think one hill workout a week is enough or should I do 2! The 1/2 is a really hilly course through lake George, my outdoor runs have some hills but more like rolling hills not long ones!
Start with one and progress to 2 or more.
Gustav--"solo necesita una poca de gracia" Great song!
Dtothe2nd--How'd your 10 go?
Phillie--Good luck on the 10k this weekend!
Jerry--did you make it to the track?
Docket--ahh... sleeping in... I'm jealous.
Kristen--hope that cold stays at bay and you feel better soon!
Awood--Awesome about the discounted prices for races if you register early in Jan. Is that a "thing" that I just don't know about? I just started running last January and didn't sign up for my first race til October, so I'm totally in the dark about all of these tricks!
Scotty--LOL @ the strange "fence"
Hey Doc--Good luck on your treadmill 5-7
Tori--hope your stomach calms down!
Zel--36 and rainy sounds like torture to me! Good luck getting your run in!
MNMickey--Where in MN are you located? I was raised in the Twin Cities, but left for CA 12 years ago. Hope you're staying warm!
Jack--Nice work on the hilly 6! Thanks for the welcome, you're right that I'm in CA, doing the LA 13.1 in three weeks!
Coralie--So sorry about the kitten, but that is hilarious about blowing the house fuse! Pounding the stress out, indeed!
Running for two!

Completed my first half marathon 2:09:04!!!
Mmmmm...beer
I said on FB that it was probably the best run of my life, but now that I think about it, it was absolutely the best run I've ever had, even better than my first "hey, I actually like running" run. My fastest 10 miler ever, but it was unbelievably smooth, felt like I was just gliding along the whole time. It was the quintessential perfect run.
