Simon, congrats on your half PR. mariposai, way to go on your award. From what we know of you at RA, it's no surprise to see you honored. steve, that's really sad about the Batman shirts. hopeful, happy birthday. Also, it's great that you did 2 miles 2 days after your marathon. Two days after my marathon, I hung it up after a half mile. But then you're a lot younger and tougher. Another also, I'll be thinking of you and your appointment with the doctor tomorrow. bike, congrats on 2000 miles for the year. Twocat, congrats on the AG award in Sunday's race. Nice long runs for lynden, Jogger, perch, and Twocat. Good job on the speedwork for Holly and breger. This morning, it was about 40 with a noticeable wind. I got in 8 miles in about 1:18:30 for a 9:49 pace. A good day and good runs for all. TomS

Hey, who's the dinner guest??? Don't keep us in suspense! Tammy, I'm not sure at this point if I want to run a marathon, but if I ever decide to do one, the redwoods sound lovely. And running at sea level would be a bonus for me. I also like the looks of the St George marathon in Utah - supposed to be a very scenic course, and with a good net elevation loss. Not that I'm really thinking about it, but after reading the latest RRs.... Wink

Hey, Enke, I drool when I run, too. Big grin

Twocat, congrats on the 18 miler and on the 2nd in AG in your race on Sunday! Erika, I liked that comment that you look normal. Do you think you could pick out another MM in a random group of strangers? Hope your doc has good news for you at 3:15. Teresa, what a nice compliment from your son's teacher! I did a 6.2 mile wave run at lunch, on the trails in the state park near work. 65 and partly cloudy, with leaves crunching under foot. I got to enjoy autumn in the high country a month ago, and now I get to enjoy it again down here in the flatlands! I think I developed a new type of training run today: a regression wave run. Each fast segment and each slow segment was successively slower than the previous one! Splits: 10:15 - 9:18 - 10:43 - 9:26 - 10:59 - 10:08 - 11:31 last 0.2. Oh, well, nice to be out enjoying the gift!

Oh I am just crushed! Got a call from pod dr... emergency came up and he had to leave this afternoon... rescheduled for next Tuesday but she'll again try to fit me in sooner. What sort of emergency does a podiatrist have?? I'm assuming it's not office-related... Grrr! Angry

wildchild, even a crappy run is a good run. I did 10 miles, 10:57 pace. It was gorgeous out there. About 48-50F. No wind. Bright blue skies. Fluorescent orange, yellow and red maple leaves contrasting with the ones still green. Numerous runner sightings. Ahhhh. Too much concrete though, ouch. They turned the water fountain off at my favourite pit stop. So I did the handheld thing. I hate that. I never know when they are going to turn it off. Seems to be a week earlier each year. I met a guy at the gym that is running NYC in two weeks? He seemed very excited about it. Has done it before, and Maui too etc etc. He was talking to me like I'm a real runner or something. Erika,

5 miles just to enjoy the fall colors. I could have gone for ever. Waiting for that picture the Beers promised us.

Talking about beer at the end of the Milwaukee marathon, there actually is a run held every June in Green Bay called the "Beer Belly II". It's a 2 mile race, and there is beer at the water stops. Quite well attended, really...
