That made me laugh.
Just walked with Veta the freshly groomed Mini Schnauzer today. Through the swamp as per usual.
Time for housework.
Hope to play bridge with the neighbors tonight.
Jlynne, continued prayers and good vibes being sent to Wisconsin. You're a good Granny.
Hiya Tesujin in Tokyo!

lame, congrats to your daughter on her great race. Sarge, it's good of you to work the finish line at your club's race. jlynne, neat you got to hold little Leo/Will. I hope moving up the surgery to Mon means he will be on his way to recovery that much quicker. deez, good job at the 5K sponsored by your son's XC team.
Nice long run for CNY.
This morning it was in the mid 40s and windy. Hopeful's rain hadn't arrived yet and I got in 8 miles in about 1:18:30 for a 9:48 pace.
A good day and good runs for all.

I just received a call from one of my sisters. My brother will be turning 40 on the 3rd and his DW turns 40 on the 31st. They live 3 hrs away from here.
The plans are:
We're all going to meet up in Ames.......Dress in Costumes that conceal our identity and go Trick or Treating at thier house.....Of course we will be the most beligerent Tricks-tr-Treaters one would ever want ! Help ourselves to the candy......Step in the house....a squirt gun.....a compressed air horn.....As a few of us are keeping them busy at the front door maybe we'll send one or two in back door....I can't even type this with out laughing out loud......
jlynne - we'll be thinking about Will on Monday
Early run for a Saturday. We had some stuff to do early and I wanted to get this in.

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

Wow, TimBo, congrats on your first place finish! Sounds like you actually ran a smart race for once! But not quite fair, sneaking up on a guy on his blind side...
Slo, your family really knows how to party! Weren't you the one with the exploding pumpkins a week or two ago? Hey, exploding pumpkins would be perfect for your Halloween birthday bash at your brother's house!
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
i'm lovin' it... MM#1949
Tim.... you REALLY put the hammer down! That was totally impressive. I guess your running shape is peak now! Sub 20,,, amazing dude!

We're all going to meet up in Ames .....
Had to re-read that one as I thought it said, ". . . going to meet up with the Ames . . ." (my last name), and I thought, well heck, we're not even at home!
A fly-by check-in while The Hub is sleeping off his many beers of last night. We're still on vaca, but head home Monday. I'm ready. As always on vacation, it's hard for me to get runs in, but I've managed 3. Today was a break in the "every other day" plan, since I wasn't able to get to sleep until about 3:00 a.m. We're in Danvers, MA, right outside of Salem for the night, but are planning to head into Salem this evening. The weather's pretty carpy (foggy and damp), but have to check out all the October festivities while we have the chance. Will be wondering how many people are in costume and how many are actually being normal.
Congrats to Tim on his race!
{{{Hugs and many prayers for Baby Leo/Will and family.}}}
I'm out -

Tet – nice start from the other side of the world…
Timbo – congratulations!
Jlynne – I’ll be praying for little Will on Monday.
Fatozzig - #10 will be Boston, of course.
Slo – too funny!
Late post of an early run, since DS had soccer tournament games in Cincinnati. More on tap for tomorrow, either one or two, depending on if they win the first one.
14.1 easy-paced miles for me this morning – the first 5.85 outside at (10:07) and then 8.25 more miles on the TM at (10:00), with a few stops and starts to deal with household stuff. I felt my hamstring talking to me the whole time, but it never barked loudly. Still, I wanted to be close to home in case it suddenly took a turn for the worse or I suddenly ran out of steam (which can easily happen a week after a marathon.
I probably didn’t need to run quite so far, but I was driven on by the knowledge of my increasing waistline and plans for a nice dinner out tonight with DH. After dinner we’re going to see a play – Little Shop of Horrors, which should be fun. There are several very nice theater options in our area, and some good shows coming up, so we’d like to do this a few times over the winter.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Jlynne, hugs and prayers be with you and your family and of course, baby Will and his surgeons. I hope this all turns out well. Hang in there, grandma!
I forgot Peter was running today, I thought it was a Sunday race. Hope to hear from him soon.
I really really really want to run today! It's a beautiful clear sunny day, crisp mid-20's now so not too cold. Just gorgeous; I can't believe the string of nice weather we've had this month. And no snow!! But... I'm thinking I should give my foot another rest day and DS2 wants to go to the gym. So, we'll go pick up whatever didn't sell at the ski swap (I'm hoping not much to retrieve) and then head to the gym. Should be done about the time DH comes home from Anchorage, so we'll go pick him up afterwards.
Like Rosie I have housework to do today, too. Finally picked over the cranberries (lingonberries, actually) that I picked this fall. Just never could get out to get more, but I find now that I did get 1 qt. which should be enough to make some sauce.
Chalk it up to vacation brain.
ahhh, there's my Tetsujin! Always posing with pretty ladies I see!
congrats Tim on a great 5K and long run today!
Headed out for a 10 mile run this afternoon. perfect weather today, sunny and around mid 60's with just the right amount of crispness in the air. wonderful run.
this morning was my son's last football game before playoffs start next Sunday. They won and David scored the first two TD's. final score 24-6. They now have an undefeated season and have also won the points total for the season. They'll have two play off games on 11/1 and then if they win both of those, they'll have the championship game on 11/7. It was a fun game today!
Tammy
Tammy, congrats to your DS on his football team win!
I decided to HTFU and go out for a run, even though it was still windy, plus it had started snowing and was SNOWING SIDEWAYS! That was brutal. Glad to git-er-done. 4 miles with Tazzie and Ladybug, who kept me from blowing away.
