I agree with Erika on Thongers. .

As the Angus Queen, you should know the dangers of misplaced Gs.

Mr. I - hehehehehe Cash - I will check it out. I bought the black one before i read this! And have i mentioned lately you're an animal! Murphy - you don't suck! You rock!!! It's ok if the elements are too crazy to go out in. Erica - stomped by a moose??? like literally a moose stomped on him? wow I hope he's ok too!! And yes you need a TV. I'm sure mirror you is wonderful and all, but... Groov - i liked your description!! Today i had deep tissue massage - it hurt - I cried. Bugs - could we have a biggest loaf award??

Shan, How am I an animal? Bugs, How about, Will run for Chocolate? wink Note to self: Run with Erika, not her neighbor. Glad he will be ok. Broken ribs hurt... a lot. 5 easy miles today so far. May get in a spin class and swim later. I am so out of swim shape. The swim leg of next weeks tri is gonna absolutely suckify. So will the bike leg since it is on a college campus and they have a lot of out and back loops. Have to slow way down to do a U Turn and then get back up to speed and do that 4 times in 10 miles. Good Place for crashes on the bike too. Joy.

New name huh? How about: Hurry Up Running Team Or Team H.U.R.T. for short.

Bugs, I'm way more into marketing than I am being a veg - will run for beef would be a fine slogan. We could just go for "Queen Angus's royal court of marathon geeks" If we go with something that lame, I totally have dibs on being the court jestor. We could give ourselves an acronym with no real meaning and when folks ask us what it stands for, we can make them guess. If someone gives a cool guess, we can adopt that. We're team BLISTER What's that stand for? Guess Um, Big, lumbering, ignorant, slow, thonners energized and running? Try again Badass laserfast intense speedy thoners energentically running? Um, yea, you guessed it, we'll go with that. And then we'll keep that until someone guesses something cooler. Just got done with a really relaxing 10 miler. Had been coming down kinda hard on myself since I'd been doing so much TM running. So many of you folks are just hardcore when it comes to running in harsh conditions. Tonight the weather isn't too bad, but when I run after work, I don't like dealting with traffic. Mentally, I really loosened up tonight. I cover the screen with a magazine and had gone over 4 miles before I peeked at it. The run just seemed to flow out of me and I finished with that nice, empty feeling. Hadn't done that in a while and it surprised me. Took me back to my running roots, if you know what I mean. I'm definitely feeling a bit stronger. Part of the reason the run went so smoothly for me tonight was that it just took less effort to cover the distance than it has previously. Good runs to all.

Cash, I am blaming my 4 oreo cookies ravaged on you. If you feel twinges of pain, it's my psychedelic evil powers projecting while I'm on the scale tomorrow. Shan, When do you get to run? Enjoy your special day and the honeymoon. Don't be surprised if I show up, some tropical weather really sounds good. Erika, Glad he's OK. Inerita, I run at noon and it's very warm then. Tendons tend to hurt less when I run outside. Don't know how Erika can do either the LRs on TM, or the very cold runs outside. Looks like I've got Inertia working overtime. I can't be a thonger runner though, I tried once and chaffed badly. Suppose to get frigid cold on Saturday. Thinking of taking vacation to run my 10 miler tomorrow to avoid the cold. That is how OCD I am, I take vacation to run. See graston doc tommorrow, legs are doing really good.

Cash, OMG YOU DID NOT say chocolate when I'm cutting weight? Groove, impressive work again. How often do you get a massage? I'm going to put it into my schedule when I'm not doing the graston.

I go three times a week right now. As I get up there in miles, I'll start going every other week and the last 2 weeks to the race, I'll be seeing her quite a lot. I do occasional 30 minute sessions just focused on my knee also. Run today was not so pleasant. Felt great after the first 15 minutes or so of agony in my quads from the Wednesday workout. But, made it through just fine, no worse for wear. I just make funny noises getting up from chair and going up stairs right now. I like Team HURT! Pretty much sums up running a marathon right? Evan, sounds like quite the story with the moose. Everyone has said that about the Canadian Moose, but I have yet to see one.
