Hi All, Got 6.2 miles done on the TM. Last 5K was the "fun run" with hills. I am starting to think I'm crazy for signing up for Eugene. My knees start complaining anytime I top about 40 miles/week. Time will tell. Ribs - that cracked me up. Congratulations. I'm almost there with over 21 yrs wedded bliss, believe it or not. Erika, your picture was great. Now I KNOW I'm a wimp. Please don't get frostbite! I have been eating chocolate, drinking wine, baking banana cake, sleeping a lot, and the scales are now accurately reflecting my gluttony.

For me...2182 for 2007...

Hey Tim, you and I are neck-and-neck - I have 2186 for 2007 right now. I wish I could compare that to 2006, but the graph feature will apparently only graph the current year. I may have to go back to the CR log to find out how many miles I had in 2006.

So, I see taht MC aka "The Sun God" did brake free from jail. 340 miles in one month? Wow man you a stud. Where is the bowing emoticon when you need one. Welcome back, we missed you around here. Congrats to Mr Rib and the Saint. We will expect a full blown report tomorrow. Enki, what kind of training plan are you using for your first mary? Are you running your sessions too hard, or too fast? I find out that by following the Mc Millan calculator helps me not to commit the sins listed above. My new coach also is helping me to stay fairly closed to what the calculator says I should running my different sessions. Just be easy on the miles for the first one. Just focus on the LR and try to stay injury free. You can do it sistahhh.

No running today, but I just got back from a good strength workout at the rec center. I'd like to do another run with the club tomorrow, but it's at 8AM and the weather looks a bit iffy. We'll see how that goes... Nice to see everyone else who got in some good runs today. And congratulations to the Ribs couple! Quite a milestone, and your 25th to look forward to in just a few years.

ran 4.5 this morning legs are still recovering from the 50 + in Scotland last week. run long run well

Happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Ribs! Well, we are definitely getting our snow fix in Milwaukee. Snow had started by 9:00 and just slowed down late afternoon. I'm guessing at least 8 inches by now. Staying at a nearby hotel with my sister and two nieces who are visiting from Minneapolis with my kids, sharing a suite (with pool, of course. A necessity). My eldest sister lives in a condo nearby with her daughters, 16 and 21. Mom is still here visiting, too. So, it's been a cozy few days. heh heh. Running helps. Headed out on the Oak Leaf trail around noon. Perfect timing as a parks dept. mini plow was just coming back in the other direction and told me he'd gone up a ways. I ran 3 miles out on trail with maybe an inch covering, and then ventured into unplowed territory for another mile. Needed snow shoes but the ice grippers helped for sure. I'd have to periodically stop and stomp off clumps. By the time I turned around my tracks had disappeared... gorgeous, solitary, winter run -- field, forest and little bridges over creeks. This trail has it all. Milwaukee County has done good. We've been hunkering down all day -- kids have been outside enjoying the snow much of the day. Playing board games. My eldest sister reigned over Scrabble as usual...

I did a fast 45 minutes on the eliptical AND got a great stretch from one of the trainers at the gym. Congrats to the Ribses--I wonder how many years Mrs. Ribs regrets? charleygross, love the hat. yessirree, tall, we'll be looking forward to the RR on your weekend, with the splits! grins, A
