Hey, it is still Friday here also, but still working hard giving bib # to the last entries to the Autumn Leaf Run tomorrow. I so learned to have a new appreciation to RDs. SRLopez, you could have come to run a warm up run 10k here tomorrow and then move on to Spokane in the afternoon to run your marathon. I am considering making Spokane my next year's fall marathon. Good luck weekend racers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dang. I thought I could open this thread and find out how I did tomorrow, errrr, today in my 10K race . . .

Now that is too funny Tammy Yes Aamos the Red Sox Won!! Now if we could steal one more down there it sure would be sweet wouldn't it? Well it is indeed Saturday morning about 42 degrees as I get ready to head out the door for about 8 easy miles. Good luck to all you racers and great runs to everyone else.

It's almost time to get in the car and start driving... Tammy-You are one of my favorites too...along with Mariposai...and Tet DW cut my hair last night so I'll be aerodynamic...

Twocat – we’re going to keep you to that promise. Rest up, and hopefully that will nip it in the bud. Roch – my comfortable running pace is about 10:10-10:25. It’s me that might have trouble keeping up with YOU. Aamos – I can hardly bear the treadmill without the intervals. They really make the time go by. Plus, I found in last winter’s marathon training that when I increased mileage but didn’t do speedwork, my performance really suffered in my spring marathons. Mileage alone isn’t enough for me – without some kind of speedwork I am a slug. Erika – that’s such a great feeling, isn’t it – nice run. Enke – you know, so funny that I was thinking exactly the same thing about Erika’s HR. I think she just works harder at it than I do and has gotten accustomed to that effort – I don’t think Erika know’s HOW to run slow… Gordon – have a great time and give Tet and Mariposai a hug for me! 7.15 easy-paced miles for me today in 54 degrees (ave pace 10:08, ave HR 130). Today my run started out stiff and slow, a-creakin’ and a-groanin’, but then, after about 3 miles, I started to feel downright peppy, and finished feeling good. I finally seem to be getting back into my normal reasonably-fit groove, where miles 4-8 feel like my best miles. Sweet. DS (and DH with him) is taking a hunter safety class today and tomorrow because his grandpa is coming out from Wyoming at the end of the month and wants to take him shooting. DD and I are going to Lowe’s to pick out the paint for her room (I want dark purple, Mom, dark purple) and I will spend the weekend painting (again). Good luck weekend racers!

Good morning all, Beautiful fall weather here this morning. I got a pretty bad burn on my finger last night from acidently touching the hot muffler on my chain saw....I actually saw smoke coming off my finger as I heard my skin sizzle... it was pretty gross... It's all puffed up & blistered this morning. We were at the neighbors house til late last night and ate like there was no tomorrow...lasagna, salad, wine and lots of ice cream...somehow I managed to get my run in this morning.... 10.18 miles of hills @ 9:06 pace...easy run and everything felt surprisingly good considering everything. Good runs to all today

Gotta not run, gotta not run . . . . . . gotta not run . . . Who would have thought not doing something would be so tough! Now gotta not snack all day, gotta not snack all day . . . Holly S. nice run after what sounds like a tough start. Thanks for encouragement to stay off the roads today. Hard since my DW just went out for a run. Aamos and mainerunnah all I can say is the Babe is rightfully rolling in his grave! Somebody stop the Sox! evanflein great to hear you enjoyed doing your run yesterday so much! Good pace on the splits. evryday good 4 miler. Can you send some of that heat you have over here in say January? Tramps I hope you are still alive today! How did that 20 miler go? busiman good luck with the sub-3 in Hartford. Boy I wish I could even dream of doing that! munchkn883 happy to hear you had a good run. rochrunner I would not take the market collapse we are seeing too seriously. Unless you have to liquidate your portfolio in the next year, prices will likely recover to a large extent. After the 2000 crash I remember having one "the world is coming to an end" friend lose a couple of hundred to me on bets about which why the market would go. Yes, it went up and I won both the bet on with my portfolio. wildchild snow! Snow! [editor: get those smelling salts Twocat's fainted again. Twocat ok, I am back what happened?] Snow! Snow! [editor: not again!] Well you are in Colorado and that does mean SKIING!!! My favorite sport! Yep, sorry all of my fellow running nuts I like skiing even more! Go snow storms!

at least you weren't putting out wrong information, such as the time a couple of years ago ...
