Marathon Iowa 2014
Holly - what Leslie said. Buy it!
4 easy miles on the TM watching The Punisher (again). They need to get a new rotation at the cardio cinema. The run was sandwiched between a fizzy lifting session and a great spinnerooni session (it was "race day" even though the bikes don't go anywhere). Two shirts worth of sweaty.
Have a great weekend! I'll be giving my blood away tomorrow - #144. Just two gallons to go...then they give me a dinner. I won't be able to quote Red Buttons anymore.
Greetings! Holly, fantastic photo. You look great, and also it makes me want to go there.
Jay, good luck with Sunday's race. Running the race is easier than "running" the race...
6.5 miles for me this morning and some yoga at lunch.
Good luck to this weekend's racers.. I have kind of lost track...
Nice pic Holly. Love the text too.
TC - we played all square @ 5s. It was fun though.
I put a new sticker on the car today 0.0. Some of the parents at the XC club didn't think it too funny. But hey, that's how I roll. CR Jr. thought it was hilarious too.
Easy 7 recovery miles today.
Now off to movie night. Despicable Me. Love those minions.
Good luck racers. Run like you stole something.
Cheers.

Go racers go!!!!!
Just a quick post here to say that after a long day of meetings I had the chance to go out for a 6 miles zombies run (hush, I am trying to make my base bigger and better than you know who). When I got back, the Easy Pacer started cooking pork chops, his specialty, for dinner awaiting the arrival of Dievechief. We just finished eating dinner and I must say, it is so good to have our dear friend visiting us again.
Ohh, by the way, Divechief is an amazing micro-brewer...a sekrit talent we never knew this amazing guy had!
Dievechief beers, anyone?

Trails are hard!
No sense of humor. Next one should be the silhouette of a couch.
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
Stumpy, I like the idea... I have seen one that says, " 2.62, yeah I run too..." also. I confess I am not an oval sticker fan, but I may just be a curmudgeon. My first marathon was 1977 and the heyday well before oval stickers...
Snow may be coming...!!!

Thank you Holly!
Now there's three spectacular running photos I've seen since I starting buying the running rags in 1977. One of 'ems out here and needs you in it too someday. <<<(WhiteRiver)>>>>

If I see a bumper sticker around here that says 262.2, it'll probably be francesca's. .
I'll take 00.00

.Me too skier mom, but nothing like the ancient one.who's been running almost longer than he is old.
Did you see cycling Sal’s right dismount mishap yesterday? I didn’t know about mounting horses but, unlike becoming as ambidextrous in the feet as possible by challenging each other in those days to see who could get the farthest down ski runs in the deepest moguls possible on only one ski, backwards or forwards, butterflies, etc. without falling down, my one experiment on both sides of cycling fortunately fizzled before it became too sal-like. Have you been running pretty regular marathons ever since?
ps - I am not jealous of dive chief spending the weekend with the butterflies and enke.However, if there’s any time for a run, maybe check out mari’s planned course for the half-mari she’s planning for sometime in the middle of next April, I think.

HOLLY - such an awesome photo!!! And not the scenery, although that isn't too bad either.
SO enjoying my weekend sans kids....and doggie, found a good sitter for him this weekend. Did 4 fartlek miles with doggie before it got dark. Lots of speed sessions followed by sniff breaks.
I hope Mariposai introduces me to Kernel hill, I am looking forward to a challenge,
Enjoy the weekend.

Holly, that rates as one of the most fantastic race photos EVER! Not only is the scenery beautiful, but you look beautiful in it, running so gracefully and with such a happy look on your face!
That photo should be on the race website!!
