I woke up and my foot was pain free and felt greta. Guess what...I had the most Joyful - Glorious - Quick paced 10 mile run that felt awesome..........................................then my alarm clock went off and I got up and got really for work. Geez, it's bad enough not to be able to run, but now dreaming of it I have to work today , but don't really mind that much because I have a lot here to get caught up on today, with my end of month duties coming up. Wonder how many people here have to work today? Hope everyone has a nice day....and TGIF TimBo

If you dream it, it will come true! Glad you were able to have that dream....I'm sure it'll happen for you during your waking hours before long. We should start calling you, "Dreamrunner."

Good Morning! Tim - you had me going there for a minute....and as for the race results, you have to remember that the Turkey Trot brings out a lot of folks who never run, just coming out for that one event. 6.8 recovery miles today (ave pace 10:51 , ave HR 128). See, this is the HR I am accustomed to. I think I should never wear my HR monitor to races. The readings I get there scare me. Normally I don’t go to Black Friday sales, but Target had DS’s Christmas wish, the X-Box 360, on sale coming with a $60 gift card, so I went to stand in line with most of Western Ohio in my running clothes, stinky and all. Now, gift safely hidden and freshly showered, I’m off with the family to cut down our Christmas tree. Happy Friday!

Just got back from my run to civilization to hit the early morning store openings. Yes, my alarm went off at 5 a.m., and I was excited for a minute, until I realized I had to go shopping. Suddenly, I felt hung over when I realized I wasn't going running. Headed out for the 45 min commute to "stores that open that early" and did my shopping for my son's upcoming birthday and also finished the holiday shopping for the kids. With my husband's job, it's rare that I can go shopping without the kids, so it's more a factor of him being off and the stores being open dragging me out the door, vs. Black Friday hoopla. Now, I'm ready for a nap. After all, it's a rest day on my schedule.

I will be going out shopping any minute now! But yesterday afternoon I got an unepected extra two miles in running (jogging). I was asked to take my my little nephew running. Go teach him how to run, he loves running! It was clearly a ploy to get him out from under foot, but I obliged. Two miles later he was at last panting "no more running, I'm tooo tired!".

Japanese zookeepers have wondered for a while why two polar bears that they had hoped would mate have shown little interest in each other. The answer came this month when the zoo discovered both the bears were female, the zoo said last Wednesday. Tsuyoshi, a 4-year-old polar bear, and 11-year-old Kurumi have been living in the same enclosure at the Kushiro Municipal Zoo in Hokkaido in northern Japan since June. The zoo said it thought Tsuyoshi was male because of the bear's appearance. Male polar bears are generally signiuficantly larger than females. "Didn't fool me for a minute", said Kurumi. "All that bear did was sit around all day watching 'Sex In The City'". Outstanding races yesterday...I'm impressed: Denise: sub-9 5-miler Holly: 42min 5-miler and top 10% AG DanL2: What a great effort for you! That is just ultra-cool Tramps: I'm assuming no pain? Nowor: Fastest 5K in 4 years... Jeanne: Another sub-9 5-miler...and how cool that you helped serve the less fortunate at Lambeau...but you could have left out the mention of brussel sprouts... Perch: 2nd in AG! Lou: Sub-7 5K with 3rd in AG Leslie: sub-9 5K These are just outanding results! Tammy:

Go Beavers!

Ummm... yeah...something's gotta be done about that nickname...just too many punchlines in there... Perch: 14 miles after yesterday's race? Gasp... Like most of you, we had a great...but small...dinner last night. Football was awful but thank heavens rasslin' is on Thursdays..and they had a great show last night. I have to work all day..will try to get in a short run later today. We have about 30-40 people coming over tonight for our annual tradition...everyone brings their leftovers and we have another big feast. Burp.... DickyG
