Well, you know what they say about women and judging measurements accurately...

Yeah...I'd rather not go there! I was trying to point out that with the miles you put in you've ran his legs off! Tramps...I thought the guy in you avatar was holding a cane...I should have realized it's a hockey stick. 15 long miles for me today. 11:06 pace overall. I tried to pick it up the last 3 miles @10:16. I tried the wave run also....everybody I met, I waved at. Now back to football. edited to add....Happy Birthday to Janie B Good!

hi everybody, great to hear how many runs went so well, berger, perch, tory, enke, beers, ... I miss beerdog. thanks Holly. today went a little better yet, 24 min. on the elliptical, 45 on the recumbent bike. I think sunday morning is a good time to go, It was pretty quiet, at least when I got there. Except they were out of water, had been since Friday. oh, be careful with that hammy. PJ, that's a lot of running this weekend, especially if you're sick! I hope your new job situation works out well. Congratulations to you & Mrs. PJ on 34 years. What a great picture Tall. It's great to see you so happy.

Our ski trip got postponed due to some "bathroom sink problems"that showed up this morning. DH is tenaciously trying got fix the problem for us right now. Since I am not really handy with tools, I decided to go for a 12 miles run. This was a fun run for me since I had the chance to run among the orchards and hit my favorite hill on the way up. The 35F weather is making the snow runnable, so I had to carry my yack track in my hands most of the time. I used it as a relaxing tool (every time I found myself holding them too tight it was a reminder to me to relax and loosen up). Is everyone as anxious as I am to read the RRs??

Nice Picture Tall, you are a lucky man. 15+ miles of biking 10 miles slow run <75% mhr 1.5 walking 10min in the ice bucket 40*+ started @ sunny and 40*+ cold and rainy by the end. mhr="" 1.5="" walking="" 10min="" in="" the="" ice="" bucket="" 40*+="" started="" @="" sunny="" and="" 40*+="" cold="" and="" rainy="" by="" the="" end.=""></75% mhr 1.5 walking 10min in the ice bucket 40*+ started @ sunny and 40*+ cold and rainy by the end. >

Hi everyone, I needed a rest day but wanted to chime in here. Nice runs out there today. I'll be back on the hills tomorrow and getting back to my usual morning routine.

Tall, what a nice picture - you guys look so happy! What's with only two boys at the party, and 33 girls??? Pretty good odds for the boys, anyway. I ran 4 miles of 400 m intervals at the indoor track this afternoon, as DD did week 3 of the C25K. I really enjoy running with her, even though she tries to pretend she doesn't know me. Yesterday I ran 3 cold and snowy miles with my dogs. I meant to go farther, but running in the windblown snow was tiring and I wussed out. Waiting for the RRs.....

oops ribs. thanks for the nice words guys. race didn't go as planned, oh well. i'm glad it's over. learned some lessons, so i won't make those mistakes next time (i'll find new mistakes to make). race report: http://runningahead.com/forums/post/c603e6e1fb504f7d8d84769f49332aa6#focus met the selbs at the expo... wow, those guys are really just as nice in person as they are on the web. tselbs was telling me about his favorite solar-themed tv ad, and sure enough, i saw it at 4:45am on the tv in phoenix as i was getting ready for the race. coincidence? hmmm.... the conversation was friendy and cordial... well, until dave snuck up behind me and grabbed my arms, and tom punched me in the gut hard. "ha ha ha... have a nice race tomorrow mc!" doubled-over in pain, i watched in a state of confusion as they strode off, butch cassidy-sundance kid like, into the setting sun. you never can tell for sure by reading some guys on the internet...

MC, what an amazing race report. I couldn't reply on the RR forum... no reply button ?? I was so pulling for you all along, and I agree with Twocat, it was still an excellent race and effort on your part. Overestimated your fitness? I don't think so. I think you figured out what might've gone wrong, but I don't think you're underfit... good grief, what are any of us?? Nice race for you, too Mustang Sally!! I like that 8k distance. 11 miles on the treadmill today... last 4 at MP. I was really really tempted to try the outdoor run thing, but besides the cold (it warmed up to -15 today so not "undoable"), we got some snow yesterday and last night that would've made the hills really hard. So I said Bah, do it inside. This was a hard run though, my legs were tired. I can tell it's been 4 days straight of running, with several of those miles at MP or faster. So, on to my condensed taper week this week. All EZ stoopid stuff from here on out, a few striders here and there but nothing much.
