SR, you will surely appreciate Chad's work ethic. Quoting here:
"For me personally it was all about the heat and that's why I stayed here the whole month of July and trained in the heat, because that's something I missed the first two weeks last year," Pennington said. "So it's a different element and it doesn't matter if you're training at eight in the morning or eight at night, it's the same feeling, and so for me it was something I had to get used to. I'm still getting used to it but I feel much better than what I did in June, that's for sure."

"Some are the strong, silent type. You can't put your finger on exactly what it is they bring to the table until you run without them and then you realize that their steadiness fills a hole that leaks energy in their absence." - Kristin Armstrong
See, that is what's so wrong about Favre just showing up and expecting to start. We all know he's a great quarterback, but what kind of message does that send to his team mates when he's not putting himself through the rigors of training camp - the heat, the pain, - but most importantly - getting to know the guys and feeling like you're all in this together. Sure, he's old, and he's proven himself. But why is he any different than anyone else on the team? If I was the other Minnesota quarterbacks, I'd be upset that after I went through all the practices and thought I was going to start, now I'll be sitting on the bench. Then you have guys like Chad Pennington who know how to do the right thing...
Sorry, I know this is a running forum
Anyone mind if I don't talk football? Next worst thing to baseball, IMO...
10 km of hills at lunch. Amazing how much more relaxed I feel after my run is over... Like I've had my fix or something!
Fingers crossed for the Beers...
Congrats, Perch.
7.6 in the H/H, after working in the sun all day. .....1:12:00. I'll take the payback come fall, though.

tonight's track workout was different -- they mixed adult track with youth track -- one adult and 2 kids relay teams
the kids ran 200 meters each then the adult ran 600 x 10!!!
i was thrilled with my times but must have not started my garmin for 1 because i only see 9 recorded and i KNOW we did 10!! 2:56, 3:05, 3:01, 3:05, 3:02, 3:06, 3:06, 3:12, 3:04 and 1 unknown --- with the exception of the 3:12 those are great paces for me so i'm very pleased.............total miles with warm up and cooldown were 5.5 (recorded that is)

Tet! Thank you so much for that special copy of NWRunner! I love it and laughed so hard at the "version" you sent me!
I think Tet took a few artistic privileges and altered the front page photos a tad.
you are so Tet!

hopeful4ever congratulations on pulling off the surprise party! Great looking cake too! Send the rest to Twocat at my home address. Please pack it in a cooler with a lot of ice as I am out of town until Monday.
perchcreek congratulations on the new job. Alas, this will likely interfere with your more important running job but sacrafices have to be made somewhere. What a drag that making a living interferes with so many other things.
spareribs all too true about BF. My guess is that at best he starts, gets hurt, and costs the team a lot of money to watch games with a sling on from the bench.
As for me, I am out in San Diego for my DW's niece's wedding. So far so good as in we made it to the hotel unharmed.
Live like you are dying not like you are afraid to die.
