Mornin' everyone.

Monday’s workouts:
RunnerKSA (5.3 miles, including 3.2 pre-Irma miles, and 2.1 post-work TM miles)
Dave (4 50°, foggy morning miles)
HopesMom (slap dark morning run/walk with DH and Dusty)
Tomwhite (60 min caneless walking)
Catwhoorg (7 TM miles)
Twocat (7 morning miles)

Pfriese (EZ 7 morning miles 'round town)

Mike (8.7 mixed miles)

Marj & Henrun (1 hr. walk to the train station)

Deeze (7.2 morning run/walk miles in Hoka Arahi's)

Evanflein (5.3 post-work, pre-showers miles)

Mariposai (8 miles in sort-of clear air)

KSA, I’m glad your sister in Ft. Myers is OK (except for that orange tree), and I hope you are too.

I hope the kids aren’t without power for too long, Dave.

Bummer about the woman hit by the drunk drive, Hopesmom, but at least she is OK. True enough about the need for headlamps and reflective gear early (or late) till next April/May. I also don’t see many cars, but it only takes being hit by 1 to put a real damper on your day.

I hope you’re not too hobbled today, Tomwhite.

How have you done in the storm, Cat? Nice to have some natural shelter.

Twocat, I’d much rather deal with lots o’ snow and some cold days than a hurricane. You can shovel or snow-blow the snow, and (as Evanflein said) dress for the cold or stay inside on a TM. You can only hunker down or run away from a hurricane or tornado and hope for the best. Actually, I like where we are, where all kinds of weather extremes are rare. On another note, I’d like to hear your Daffy Duck…

Wildchild, I am also in awe of those high-mileage folks (including you!) because I am so not there, nor could I ever be. You all are amazing!

Nice job of hanging with the struggling girl, Mike.

Welcome back, Marj & Henrun. Glad you had a good Opie dinner too. I also like having 4 seasons but, different from you, I'd prefer a little more light in the early morning.

Welcome back, Deeze - it's always a pleasure to hear from you. Glad you are taking it easy in building up again for MCM.

I'm sorry about the asthma issues, Mariposai, but I'm glad that you are able to get outside even for t tough run. Good luck to you and DH in your meetings today.

I had every intention of going out for a workout this morning, but it felt like I was awake more than asleep last night, so I chose to stay in to try for a few more zzz's. Maybe I can squeeze in a few miles later today.

Have a greta Tuesday!

Jay

You need that sleep, Jay.

Mari--two months of smoky air is a real drag; hope the improvement continues.

Casual 21 this morning, just lollygagging and chatting on a beautiful early autumn day.

Morning, Masters!  My folks (in NC) picked up some bottled water and hunkered down for the storm, but since Irma turned so sharply west, I doubt they got more than a little rain.  Here in VA we got clouds.  No complaints here!!
When I was looking for a job 15 years ago, my then-brand-new DH asked me to look for a place without too many people and not too much snow.  We landed in Charlottesville, VA, and a month later had our first blizzard.  We were completely unprepared, so we were trying to dig our car out of the 2 feet of snow with a teeny little camp shovel.  Needless to say, 3 days later we ended up asking a neighbor for help.  He had a buddy with a truck, and plowed out our extremely long and hilly driveway in about 15 minutes.
RD here, though I'm expecting to at least walk a couple of laps around the block, for some fresh air.

Jay -- sleep is important!!  I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, so now I am discovering just how sleep-deprived I was.

catwhoorg -- glad you had a non-event!!

Tramps -- love the casual 21!!

PBJ -- have a good 7!!

Tramps says a casual 21 miler?  Sure...

 

No running for me yesterday - just spin and lift (half session).  Hope to run 7 today.

 

Hey Deez - I'm going to the MCM with my cheering section - Long-Suffering Mrs. PBJ (no PBJsters).  Anyone else gonna be there?

In case you missed it, Tramps is <<gasp>> riding a bike. 

As for me, an actual casual 3.1 around the lake.  Enjoying the cool, not so much the dark.  Off to a couple days in CT to watch my electricians install cables.  Fun stuff.  Tonight before i leave, I get to replace the garbage disposal that has quit working and developed a leak.  Will also need to replace the two dripping shutoff valves for the shower that I repaired over the weekend and that have been in place so long that the packing nuts no long tighten (or move, period).  Even more fun.  But I have discovered SharkBite compression connections that are infinitely easier to use than sweated connections.  Even though playing with a torch is much more manly.

Happy Birthday to me!  New age group (65).   2.3 treadmill miles before an early morning lawyer meeting at which the Vice Chancellor/Athletic Director of Vanderbilt spoke.  I love hearing him speak, but I didn't love getting there by 7 am.  That was followed by an outside counsel meeting with a lawyer who flew in from California, so I haven't had a chance to enjoy my birthday or bask in all my facebook messages! 

My staff decorated my office and brought cupcakes and gifts, so that's cool.

2.5 miles after work on the treadmill.   4.8 for the day.

In case you missed it, Tramps is <<gasp>> riding a bike. 

I'm glad you mentioned it so I didn't have to.   Tramps, love the "dog years" comparison.

Hey PBJ! So cool to see you heading off to another marathon. Hi to Long Suffering!

Mariposai, so sorry about your bad air this summer, but hey, fall is coming, right? Should bring some rain and relief, I hope. Glad you got out for a run yesterday. And yes, hint, hint to Holly on the overtime issue.

Happy birthday, KSA!

Looks like a pretty nice day out there today. Forecast for the week is spotty localized rain showers here and there, but temps up to 60, maybe low 60's and that should be pretty good. Saturday looks like a beautiful day for a marathon. I did check my log and it looks like my string of 200+ months might be in jeopardy, but oh well. I'll get out for a few miles this afternoon.

...well, I see Tramps has confused us yet again.........
