So Bugs, did I understand correctly that you were butter knifing some friends? That's cool... still sounds painful though.

Yes, I have two patients now. It was NOT painful. I'll keep you posted..but I think I will have them both running by the weekend. I'm not sure about the knee guy. Knees are NOT my expertise, but I'm very good at rubbing out injury in my achilles. People are going to Doc Bugs, there must be a recession.

As the resident "knee issue" guy, I am very interested about how this turns out. Of course, I'm also pretty curious about what the butter knife means.

Dave - when did "that" happen??? how did I miss it??? yeah, i'm leaving it to you to figure out what i'm talking about!

As long as Bugs only has the butter knife, I trust her. Would probably feel pretty good too. Now if she had a fight with her husband and she had a hockey mask and the 9 inch Chef's knife out, I may keep my distance. Bugs you are an awesome runner, as long as you are healthy you can put up some great times. And with Nobby's training you will rock the house. Dave, take care of Kimmie and see that she gets her BQ. Tie her shoelaces to yours if you have too. Hope Erika is feeling better. Oh btw, my friend has pneumonia. Not great, but taking pills beats getting cut open with a scalpel.

Taper and illness will do that to you Stunt Girl. That's your super hero name by the way.

I got sick too. So that's no excuse!! TY - i think she prefers baby oil.

4 and change for me today as the taper continues. 8:30 pace. Stunt Girl was noting that she had passed me for the year on mileage to date. Since super hero's never taper, she had an advantage.

Looks like some good running going on today!! Well done peeps! Can't wait to hear how all our racers for the weekend do!! Hope to see some major butt kicking!! Ran 10 easy miles with a friend of mine. We didn't do the big hills like I had wanted (that will be next week) but did a really nice rolling hills course. Weather was PERFECT!! Very enjoyable.

I failed in my 2nd attempt at 5 am wake-up. And managed to piss off my wife with the early alarm for no benefit. Tomorrow I shall attempt a 5:45 run to coincide with her alarm clock. Still should be able to get well into the mid-40 mile range this week. Thats likely a record for me.
