"My doctor told me to quit working out until I was in better shape. I told the doctor not to send me a bill until I paid him." Steven Wright Short 7 as planned, hope I have enough leg left to climb bins to check corn moisture this afternoon.

Yeah, nice quote but what video? Did I miss something yesterday? I got 6 in this morning before the temps drop and snow showers blow in. Have a great day everyone! Kelly

Hello 40s! A beautiful day here in OK. I think it was about 67F during my midday 9 miler. It felt hot...especially compared to yesterday when it was 40 something and very windy. Cleaned the leaves and pine needles out of the rain gutters on the house. So I got that going for me....which is nice. Anyway, some nice runs this weekend for r2farm, jewels, ultra, and carol. Ok,,,,Romo is back.....will the rest of the team show up? Signing off to go watch the game. (nj joe, your Giants are on fire)

Hello, Boys and Girls! I'm back. It looked like all of So Cal is on fire. The Santa Ana winds aren't helping. We had to take a different route from Riverside back to LAX due to freeway closers. It's not good down there. Hot, dry, windy. Sounds like everyone's been doing well. Love Kelly's web site, and agree that you need to do whatever needs to be done to make it come up higher on Google's search engine, and maybe add some quotes of satisfied clients. It looks great, though. Very professional. We finally got into Riverside around 11:00 p.m. Friday, to bed at 1:00, up by 7:00, and started a full day by 8:00. Banquet at 7:30, get together in the President's room after, finally to bed by 11:30. Only to be up by 6:30 to get dressed, eat, and out of there to head to the airport. We wanted to leave in plenty of time in case of more freeway closures/detours. No running down here. No time! I could not have gotten up at 5:00 - or even 6:00 - Saturday a.m. after going to be at 1:00 a.m. Now I'm feeling fat and out of shape. I know it doesn't happen that quick, but let's just say I haven't seen that number on the scale in a very long time, and hope most of it's water weight from heat, flying, etc. Celebrity sighting at San Fran Airport!! Standing outside the ladies room waiting for my friends, I'm people watching. Catch the eye of a guy walking toward me and give him a small "hey" smile. Hey, wait a minute. Look again, but not conspicuously - it's Huey Lewis! Damned if he doesn't look exactly like himself! He gave a small smile back. Just two people who looked at one another being polite. Then we're on the flat escalator (I don't know what else to call it) hoofing it to the other end to our gate, and I look at a guy walking by with some gal. It was Sean Penn! He had sunglasses on, but there was no doubt it was him. Two celebrity sightings in about 10 minutes. Pretty cool! I was lookin' all over the place after that. Now I'm really tired and need to get some sleep so I can get back in the exercise saddle in the early a.m. Nite!

Hey evryday, how 'bout them Cowboys?!! Hubby a happy guy....makes the week start off better around here when they win. Joe, hey there, you're getting so close!!!! How is Buddy going to handle the taper? Have you broken the news that he doesn't get to run the race with you? Leslie, cool celeb sightings for you! Kind of a weird feeling, I'll bet. LOL re: looking all over after that. Unkonwingly, hub and I once stayed at the same hotel in San Antonio as the Dallas Mavericks. Came out of our room and ran into Dirk and Steve Nash coming out of theirs. Then we made a game out of "sighting" mavericks in the lobby for about an hour after that. Sounds like you had an exhausting weekend and will be glad to get back to a "normal" schedule...whatever that is 4 miles this morning...still feeling some pain/tightness on the outside of my right knee. Gets worse throughout the run, but not a show stopper. Thinking a little ice and Vitamin I may be in order. Mom has decided that the Turkey Trot will be "too much" on Tgiving day, but I'm thinking that the endorphins might help me be more pleasant to be around with family in closer than normal quarters. Everyone is coming here, and our house is still a mess after the tile installation and an unfinished painting project. I called a painting co. today to give us an estimate, but don't know that they will be able to do the work that quickly. Oh well, we've been eating amongst the mess for a while now and so can everyone else. Gotta get back "on task" for work now. Happy runs and rests for all!

You heard it Folks ~ everyone to Carol's for Thanksgiving! Yeeha! Buddy really hearts taper week cause he's finally not getting ditched! I explained to him that he can't pee on 87 telephone pools along the way during the race and he was like "what fun is that? I'll stay home and sleep instead"!

PS - What's a "telephone pool pole "?

Ha! You caught my bad spelling again!! Rats!!

OK...40s, I know some of you have some races coming up soon, maybe this weekend ( I believe Arla and nj joe have races soon...maybe others). I'm 49 and my mememory is not what it used to be.....ok, it never was that great. I so want to keep up with everyones races, but forget who's doing what, when. Ileneforward keeps an "Intrepid Racers" thread where folks can have their upcoming races posted. She's got it organized nicely so everyone can see who's racing and the date of the race. If you're so inclined, please post your race plans there (as well as here, of course)....I, for one, like to share in your anticipation. Thanks and good running to you all.
