I think I am really starting to like this site. Am I automatically in the 1000 club? Can't wait to check it out. Come on everyone, make your training log public!! When I first started logging at CR, I thought, no way would I ever do that. But I can see how opening up something that seems "personal" to the group, well if everyone does it, it provides a sense of cohesiveness and trust within the group. I peeked at some people's logs....Just remember you can access all the data, and read their notes from particular runs. So if you had to make 4 potty stops during your long run, you may not want to go into too much detail about it! Long run today, will check in again later. enkeph

Great runs out there today... I was up at 8:00 AM this morning (isn't vacation great...)...51 degrees...sunny and clear...then I checked the forecast...cold front and showers coming through...so I tried to get moving...by the time I was out the door, it was cloudy...NE wimds and 42 degrees... Well....4 recovery wiles with 5X100 and a half mile at MP... Getting ready for tomorrows 17 mile MP run..... MC....wow...12 today and 21 tomorrow....whew...I did my biggie (21 miler ) last weekend.. Now it is time for my toasted bagel and cream of wheat.... Tim, Ardmore, OK.

Howdy. A nice hilly 10-miler for me today. Lots of chores to get done today, so I trimmed it back from my planned 13. Being a transplanted New Englander, I still can't get used to running a few days before Christmas and seeing neighbors raking leaves. Leaf raking is supposed to be in October! I feeling much better about the "move." All this discussion has reminded me again of how many nice folks there are running. We may not all end up at the same place but there's no reason we can't visit.

I did the second 2.5 mile loop today that I should have done yesterday! Not much, but it feels good to run, whatever the distance.

I haven't had one minute to think about what forum I'd end up on during all this upheaval. The simplest solution is to just follow WRFB. I'm good at that. Had to be at work by 7am this morning, and only now just learned that beer is being brewed at our house by reading this thread. Sheesh. I snuck out of work for a bit at 11am and ran 4 miles at some pace that was not discernable due to a very confused Garmin. I will have to sneak out for considerably longer tomorrow to get in a planned 15 miles sometime between the morning and evening status meetings. Hi Tramps!

Ah, all is right with the world.

Hee, evryday! Got up early and met up with the other wimpy southern Californites running the Christmas Tree run this morning. Shivering in our jackets and mittens and staring with horror at the FROST on the grass!! I could see my breath in puffs of white! Even though I hit the garmin twice and never noticed until the 3 mile mark when I glanced to see what my 5K time was, and saw it wasn't running, I ran nice and easy. No pain from the hip flexor (note to self: 600 mg of ibuprofen is the bomb! ) Came in second in my AG. Won a Christmas tree and a holiday plate. Drove to a needy family that had no tree and gave the Christmas tree away. (Wouldn't want to make my flashy fiber-optic disco tree jealous)

Finally had a run this morning that felt great ! On the treadmill even. 4 miles in 44:16 (yes I'm slow). Hmm. 1000 mile club. I came close in 2006 but this last year was wretched. I may try. I'm thinking of running the Martian Half in Dearborn MI. Has anyone done this one? Good runs all.
