Run Long, Hard, and Fast
Hello again fellow runners! I just got back from 10.1 miles @ 8:12 pace on tired legs. I have learned to have tired legs going into my LR so I don't run too fast.
Kristin - Congrats on the PR!
Shirfan - You know very well those are ideal conditions for Upstate NY!
Have a great rest of the day! Run long, hard, and fast! God bless you all!
SRD for me, although I might take on a little cross-training this afternoon. Heading to the market to get the fixings for some chili, as that sounds good on a cloudy cool day.
Life is good.

I actually enjoyed my snowy run quite a bit today! It wasn't windy at all until the last 2 miles, so those kinda sucked but otherwise, there were nice big snowflakes and it was very pretty. It was slick in a few spots and I actually had to change my route at one point because a motorist stopped to tell me he had seen a runner ahead of me on the trail slip, fall, and injure himself! I had just gotten to that trail so was grateful he stopped to tell me. Overall, legs felt really good...ended up doing a mile wu, 9 miles @ 8:58, and 0.6 miles cd. Wanted to get to even 11 but ran out of time...DH had some sort of orienteering meet/race he was doing that started at 11. Hope everyone is having a fabulous Sunday! I am being very lazy now!
Kristin: Congrats on the PR!
Zelanie: Happy Birthday and enjoy your pizza!
Everyone else: Enjoy your runs, rest days, cross training, eating, drinking, TV watching....whatever you might me doing!

Supp Clique!
Basya, coffee is mandatory. I actually quit drinking it for a year and still don't know why I did that!
Paula, I turned my screen around lol! Love ya!
Feel better Dave!
Spark, 18 inches of mud, do tell?

What up do D, April, Bruce, Rob, SUS, Ami, Jay Z, Scott T, Zelly Zel, Shari, Kris w/ #'s, OO the Blue and everyone else!
Me, I got in 12 easy at an 8:53 pace. It was windy as heck and only cold instead of freezing cold, but the sun was shining for a change.
I am not exactly sure why, but that was a really long long run! It seemed as if I was running forever for some reason.
I tried an egg Mc Muffin with scrambled egg instead of the poached egg it normally comes for my pre-run meal and it worked out well. Next time I will skip the cheese though.

My Trader Joe's trip was successful. Between Produce Junction and TJ's, I actually bought enough that I could skip my "regular" grocery trip. Woo hoo! And I didn't buy (much) junk food!
I also got out for two slow easy recovery miles. Day 8 of my 2+ miles and 50+ pushups and situps streak.
Loved my run in the sunshine - 8.33 miles - and the sing-song greeting I received when I got back to my door from the first robin I've seen this year. Now off to see check the weather report and see how much things are going to change overnight, since I got a text about a winter storm warning in effect starting late tonight. Mr. Robin may wish he had waited another week or two before returning.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.

Good afternoon, Dailies!
Kristin, congrats on the race. You did great.
Basya, a rest day is fine after all that mileage Friday! Take it easy, and take in a few sites.
Me - enjoying some time on Facebook where a lot has been happening. A little too much time, actually, as I should be doing more work. But it's quiet today so I've goofed off a bit. SRD for me today - won't get home until late anyway, so I won't have much time for a run. I'll get a good run in tomorrow morning though!

Good afternoon all!
18.4 @ 7:37 avg. pace for me this morning. Another beautiful day for this time of year. Need a string of these to get all the snow melted though.
We love Trader Joe's! We go almost every Friday. The food is good quality and the prices are reasonable plus the whole theme is cool. We get a coffee sample every time we go.

I had two coffee samples today. It's an hour each way for us so my friend and I go about once a month and stock up. I have enough in the freezer to feed an army for a week.

OMG! We have never had 2 coffee samples! They have the best handmade frozen tamales. They only cost $2.30 for a package of 2. We also buy eggplant and various other vegetables. They also have peanut butter granola bars for $2.00. People will travel to go there.
Goo afternoon, everyone!
Congrats on the PR Kristen!
After a SRD yesterday I did 8 today. I made a point of not lookin at my watch until I was just about done an ended up with a 9:48 pace. I did pick it up in the last mile as well, so overall it was right around where I hoped it would be.
Enjoy your Sunday!
We don't have Trader Joe's down here

Run to live; live to run
23.7 miles today. I'm insane. I just like to go far and it was a good run.
Hi Basya hope you have a great day.
Kristin I slept well. My pups decided I should get up at 6 am. I didn't leave to run right away as it was cold and I'm a cold wimp (cold for me being it was in the 30s at that point).
LRB I'm sure that weather is getting old.
April enjoy the rest day.
