I drove to Nashville - if you want it its worth it.

It's the winter driving that freaks me out. I don't do well driving if conditions get crappy.

i spent 3 hours in a snow storm trying ot get out of pa - I agree - it sucks big you know whats.

You're right though, I should at least try. I'm a baby, and use to my DH helping me out on the things I don't do well. I'll stay at my brothers, do the driving myself, as long weather is OK. If the roads are crap, I pick me and my sanity instead of the race.

YEAH BUGS!!! I say try it!! The worst that can happen is you turn around. And that's just not that bad!!! Plus I think you would regret it if you didn't try!

Good grief. Its like watching someone debate their inner demons. Like that little angel and the devil on the shoulder in "Animal House". By all means, if Shan says to do it, it must be a good idea. Sheesh...

Sorry Dave.

Coming back from a ski trip (Vermont to Maryland), we spent 8 hours without moving in PA (I-178). Luckily we had food in the car and we had just gassed up so we were warm and didn't go hungry. We had reading material so we didn't get too bored. We got along just fine (wife, stepdaughter and myself). Um, er, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned this while Bugs is making her decisions...

i was by myself on a detour off I-81. Thankfully my GPS kept me from getting lost.

I am soo not a ...

Yes Lou, I am fine now and running without pain. Thanks for asking. IT band pain is what got me into Triathlons. I couldnt run much, and wanted to keep working out, so I wouldnt gain back the weight I had lost. So started biking, and then said if I want to do a tri, I have to swim. Shan and Bugs are both Angels. And yes jokes sometimes flop on the internet, since people cant see your face or hear your tone of voice. Cant tell if its a joke, or you are just being mean. But as someone said, in this forum, our fights are like carebears having a pillow fight. Taught an hour of spin, and then had to get home in time to meet the plumber. Now we can do the laundry and dishes again. The drain line had been plugged for the last two weeks. Yes I called then. Hard to get someone here the day before Christmas. After Christmas, one guy came out, did his thing. Plumbing worked for a day. Next day called him back. Didnt have snake long enough so had to call another guy. Then it was New Years, and the next guy just got back from vacation yesterday. Hopefully it stays fixed longer than a day this time.

I would like to be a sexy angel that can run really fast. Kim, I overdid the long slow runs last time. You've already got some really good endurance runs in. I run with the group on Thursday. Skip the LR. Then run my LR faster next weekend, probably a progression run. This half is on the 24th. I thought I would rest up this week, try to run faster this weekend, then start resting. I feel like I am never rested enough for these races. Better to be unprepared, than overtrained.
