Rest day for me today. Friend and I are really kicking the idea around about coming up to DC and running the national half on March 20. Be cool to meet some of you guys there if we come.
That would be great!! I'm still thinking about the running the half. It's a fun race and we could do a meetup last year- where maybe I don't pick such a hard place to get to- and Dave wouldn't get lost.
I decided to rest today too.... man, sometimes it's hard to rest. Cold sleet definitely helps.
Hi P2R! Nice to see you drop by. I was wondering how you were doing. Would be nice if Murphy would check in again too. I want a new baby avatar.
Haven't done a real "rest" day since Christmas. I don't like 'em. I just feel fat. I don't run every day, obviously, but a light day is just a single workout instead of doubles. Today will probably be one of those. Elliptical and weights at lunchtime, planned pool run will probably not happen because of child retrieval duties, shopping and dinner fixin's for DH's birthday. I guess I can forego a pool run for his birthday.

It's your DH's birthday. Let him watch you pool run.

Pace,
Good to see you. That's about what I heard about the course, some parts are challenging. Not exactly a fast course, but a nice course. Fargo would be faster.
Healing vibes worked, since about noon been really good. Miles suck this week, but I've learned to just bag running when sick and face the music. Less down time in the long run.
My cabinets are done three weeks early, we're not ready. Life is crazy, but damnit I'm running next week. Maybe the excuse for take-out will give me more time on my hands, doubt it.
Oh yeah, that'll go over really well. I can imagine the only thing more dull than pool running is watching someone do it.
As planned, elliptical and weights at lunchtime. Now my arms feel all noodly.

Um, yeah -- some place that has parking would be nifty.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
I'm just happy that I don't have to figure out where to meet

OTOH, it *was* near a metro stop, actually, so we could have done that....
Ok, this time, somebody else picks the place.... I don't care as long as there's a place.
And I had no trouble parking or finding it.... now, would everybody stop picking on me?
Off to run 18 miles... yay!!!
On the road again...
I should know this week if we're doing the national. What I've learned so far is that if I do run it but don't meet any of you, it's Kim's fault.
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Hope your run went well, Kim. I ran a third of yours and was very glad to only be running that much. Tough mental run today with a good number of hills. Glad to be back and done.

If I run anything there it would be the half. Probably won't though. March isn't looking too good travel-wise.
Not much running for me this week. 2 miles on the treadmill today followed by an hour of yoga with DW. I enjoyed it but I'm sure I'm much of a yoga guy.
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
I think that everyone who either travels here ALOT (hint: Dave) or can drive here in a day should run National and Lou gets to pick the meetup.
Run was just so-so... have a feeling that I ran early miles too fast- around 9:10s or so... then had to slow down. My RP only wanted to do 14, we compromised and turned around at 7.5 and I told myself to add on after dropping her at her car, BUT I didn't.... just wasn't feeling it... stomach bugging me, neck pain, yada yada.....
Ah well.... it was a gorgeous day.
Hope everyone else has a better run than I did.
And glad you got some good yoga in with DW.
