No run for me today.  Fizzy lifting, steperfication and spinnerooni.

Time to get the November financial forecast done for work.  We call it the "fortnight", even though we issue it every week.  When I asked why it's called the fortnight, nobody has an answer.  So the weekly fortnight it is.

Off to Manchester, England tomorrow, and Manchester, CT on turkey day for the 4.76 mile run with a couple PBJsters.  We won't go fast, but we plan on having fun.  Enjoy the weekend everyone.

Sounds like an excellent way to kick off Turkey Day PBJ!     I'm guessing the Turkeynator will be there too?

Slo - good luck at the doctor today!!  

I didn't run this morning, but I did go to Tone Zone last night.   Let's see, we did squats, walking lunges, dead lifts, tricep dips, bicep curls, and lots of abs ..... just to mention SOME of what we did.

It is FRIDAY and NO bosses!!   I officially love deer hunting season!!

JLynne, I totally forgot about those incline walking lunges!!   I might just have to dust off the ol' treadmill!    Have fun with the baby and a HUGE GOOD LUCK to you this weekend!!     I am having an open house the evening of December 2nd - you all are invited to come buy some bottles!! 

Give extra hugs to baby Will from his Auntie Mary.

Great to have PBJ start us off and to see Slo checking in (hang in there!).

Mary—Tone Zone or Torture Zone?  That sounds tough!

Jeanne—Great that you get to spend time with Will; good luck at the art show!  BTW, do you have a web site for your glasses?  I remember seeing pictures but can’t recall if you just posted them or if you had an actual site.

Steve—blaze orange singlet, rifle on your back, tell ‘em your hunting.

EZPZ 3.5 @ 8:41

This morning I ran a nice, somewhat chilly, recovery run.  Why does 47° feel colder sometimes more than others?

3.1 miles, 28:44, 9:09/mi, AHR 134 (68% MHR)

6.25 easy and/or GA miles this morning at 9:13 pace.  The last 4 miles were sub-9.  I call it "easy and/or GA" because some miles were easier, some a bit harder.  I kept trying to reel myself in, but didn't always succeed.  The average HR was in the easy range though.

Since I'm not really in a training mode right now, I figured it might be a good time to see if I could improve my technique a little.  At various times I've been trying to land more midsole by leaning very slightly forward.

Today I tried to get a bit more push off with the toes.  My AT knows I did something different.  I think I'll not do this again (or at least very carefully).

Tomorrow I take my final exam in this tax class.  Whew!

 

Good luck Holly - you'll "ace" it!

Exercise on demand - do you get that with your regular cable?

Boy howdy . . .

Hmmm - Seems I've started a trendy . . . .  

JLynne - Have fun at your show.  May you sell all your glasses and make tons of dough!

Slo- Good luck with your dr appt today.

Erika - It's actually a shame that the "ladies of the day" like to hang out on our particular corner.  It's right in front of the public library, which is a beautiful building, and the Ingomar Club, which is a gorgeous historic building.  Luckily, with regard to the Ingomar, the ladies hang out by the side parking lot and not in the front.  It's raining today, though, so I'm betting they will be few and far between today.  I'm thinking they're more fair weather dates.

And speaking of rain - Whew!  What a storm that blew through here during the night!  The wind was really starting to pick up by the time we left from Bonkos (Bunko) last night, and about 4:30 this morning, it sounded like someone was standing outside our bedroom window with a hose going full blast on our window.  I was soooo happy today is a rest day.

It was a restless night, though.  One of my kitties, Goomba/Goofball got into a fight at some point yesterday and obviously wasn't feeling good.  Regardless of the fact that I left a note for The Hub to keep him inside, he cracked our slider when he got home (like we always do so the cats can come and go), and Goofball got outside (probably sprinted out 'cause The Hub had the music blaring when I got home last night and they hate that).  He was holed up somewhere and didn't come home 'til around 4:30.  I hate that!  Even though we leave our garage door cracked so they can come and go, and we have some beds arranged for them in the garage, I just can't sleep when they all haven't been accounted for before bedtime.  Anyway, he's off to the vet this afternoon for a check up and to get antibiotics as a preventative measure against an abscess.

Have a great weekend folks ~

MTA:  Good Luck Weekend Racers!!!!!!!!!!!!
