I know you all will love being grandparents.
Did an easy track workout tonight... which seems strange because track workouts are supposed to be hard. I just didn't want to go too crazy with 98 degrees and the 22 miler coming up. 800 repeats in the 4 min. range, plus or minus some seconds.
Glad to get out there.

Determination: The feeling you get right before you try something incredibly stupid.

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com

He looks so big. Oh sorry she had a rough time delivery him but you got a cute grand baby now. Spoil him lots.
Ran twice today, this night gear rocks. My first run is about 10:00 p.m. Friday in the dark. Will be about 55F, and I'm hoping the wind dies down, been lots of storms here the last few days.
Kim, glad you knee is doing better.
Pam, I agree with Erika. I don't run near as far as you, but my back sure thanks me when I back off, but it also does better with strength training. You got some pretty strong arms, what kind of upper body workouts do you do?
As they say up in your neck of the woods, "you betcha!" (doncha know?)
Dave - thanks for posting the picture. I think RA has a bit of trouble with chrome.
Hot and sultry this morning (is that the right word? I think that works). Anyway I tried to run the last five fast(er) but only hit goal pace on the first two of those five.
11.1 miles, 1:38:56, 8:55/mi, AHR 157 (81% MHR)
miles@pace(AHR) = 5@9:05(145), 1@8:54(154), 5.10@8:45(166)
On the road again...
I was soaked at the end of my 7 miler.
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Lou, today's midwestern word of the day will be 'Uff da!"
What part of a marthon would you pick to organize? One of my best friends is on the main committee for new Mankato Marathon 2010 and I get to help. The hardest part is designing the course. I have a new respect for people that make these things happen.
Hail to The Victors!

Really? A Mankato Marathon? Let me know about this. I'd totally come back for that! Uff Da, indeed!
Nah, I think some dumb bunny up here says that a lot. Haven't heard from her in awhile though, thank God.
That is one very handsome baby you have there, Grandpa!
Bugs, tell us about how they design and lay out the course! I'd love to hear about it. That sounds like fun!
Ok, I've had a wonky tooth for a week or so, now have an appointment for a root canal on the 2nd. Sure hope that takes care of it for good. I'm so tired of this thing! Had to all of a sudden rearrange my day though to grab the sudden opening at the endodontist, so I didn't take a lunch break. I'll go for a nice relaxed 4 miler after work.
Temps in the mid-60's and sunny. It's really very nice but gets pretty chilly at night (we've had frost advisories a couple times this week). I think it's time to start aggressively cleaning out the garden before the moose show up to finish off what the voles didn't get!
PDR is from Racine, WI, and there are relatives from MN, so I've heard the 'you betcha' more than once (actually PDR doesn't have much of an accent, and I've lost my NJ accent, too, thank goodness, but the relatives...)
I'm finally in the air on the way to Boston to see that little boy. I had a 2:30 flight but I guess there was weather alternating in Boston (mostly) and Baltimore (some), so the flight didn't leave until 10pm.
Free wifi -- woohoo (a promotion -- they're going to charge for it after they work out the kinks). It works pretty well!
Did 15 miles this morning. My heart and lungs hold up just fine, but somewhere around mile 11 my feet, knees and hips started complaining. A gel @ mile 12 saved me and I finished strong. When do the joints stop hurting during long runs, or is that just because I'm getting older?
good job on the 15 miler!
I think that will get better over time.
From everything I've heard, the ligaments start getting stronger and that helps.
Ran a tough 20 miler today- 9:20 pace... ugh! But it's done.
