70° here. I ran an easy recovery run 6.5 miles last night. Chatting with a friends, going too fast and not realizing how tired my legs were...suddenly I'm sliding into first base...scraped palms and 2 skinned knees. Oh well, tonight they are predicting rain, maybe I'll take a rest day.

Ah, a topic I'm far too familiar with. Did you "yard sale" it? Water bottle in the grass, hat flying down the road, etc.... Sorry about that. Yuck. As for me, I've finished my easy first run this morning (5 miles). I'm supposed to run another easy 9.5 this afternoon. We'll see.

Youch Tramps! What's that from??

Tripped on some pavement; tried to stop my fall with my face. (This is an oldie-but-goodie for folks who were on CR. It happened just a few weeks after I began posting. I like to make a good first impression.)

Tramps--I was going to say that it looked hockey puck shaped. But there aren't too many of those in VA, I guess.

Back from 4 lovely miles with Renee -- felt like it was April out there -- 39 F and wind chill of 33...my laptop Fn key key is uncooperative, and I don't feel like digging out the char map and copying the degree symbol. Hope you all can forgive... Well it seems my husband is not on the list of first round of layoffs. It would have been very unusual if he were, but well, nothing is a sure thing ever, ya know? There will be two more rounds -- probably another in the summer, and another next summer (big assumption is that everything stays status quo). Thanks for good wishes regarding his job. Well I have to say, hanging around with you guys here on the daily, I almost feel positively coordinated. (knocking on wood). If my ski coaches were ever reading though, I'm sure they'd have a lot to say 'bout that...

Okay, I just have to ask ..... is she really that attractive to you men? Yes, she is very pretty, but too thin in my humble opinion. But maybe that is just because I carry around some winter fat warmth.

No Mary, she is incredibly hideous TimBo

I'm too distracted in that photo by the photoshopped "touch ups" which have become altogether too common in stuff like this. No, I'm not saying they've altered it to make her more ripped or more manly. She's definitely ripped. But they've used something to soften all the shadows and even out the skin tone across her whole body... the forehead is the key for me. I'm ok when they remove blemishes and such... certainly made my wedding pictures look better... but at this level of alteration, it makes a person look decidedly android-like. Or, well, kind of like Michael's statue of David. I mean, without the winky of course. That would be one Funky Winkerbean, wouldn't it?
