DG and everyone else who commented,
Thanks for the thoughts for my DS yesterday. He was feeling better later in the day and hopefully his 1st day of the Internship today will further encourage him. One day at a time ... Bill

Holly - How do the legs feel?
Generally stiff and slightly sore, but nothing specific or particularly bad. The most painful spots are on my left shoulder and hip, from hitting the ground hard after an attempt at flying.... but even those are barely bruised. I consider that I was very fortunate.
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."

You'd think the Monday was a rest day for most . I don't even have a run of today, but never got yesterdays in. In keeping with the previous pithy statements--3.6 at 10:15 and basically satisfied.

I gotta tell ya Stumpy, your runs have been longer than mine. Why so serious?
Your weekend sounds like fun Sue
Holly, did you have cape when you tried flying? You should consider it.
Like others, I got yesterday's run in today. A soggy 6...Maybe. On reason I had cut back on trail running is cause it's hard to measure distance within .01 miles. Now that I've got the dog, I'm out more to have fun. We've had a down pour for 24 hours. When the rain broke, the hound and I went out. The creek/slash river was up about 8". Tag thought better of jumping in. He gets his superior intellect from DW's side. We crossed the water and ran along an old logging grade. Even during a drought, there's water seeping from the sides of the hill next to it. Today, you could hear the water trickling. It's kinda kewl. Another part is along a valley and I coluld see the tips of spring ferns reaching out of the collected water. As we were winding down and could see the truck, there was a loud clap of thunder. Timing is everything.

Because I sang Me and You and a Dog Named Boo a couple weeks ago, my arm is now being twisted to sing Free to Be, You and Me later this week.
GAH. I'm turning into (not Amy) Yanni or Charlie Waffles.
10 easy miles this morning. I may do another 4.5 miler in an hour. Two gnarly Daniels workouts this week, including one that I'll do as part of Saturday's Lake Youngs Ultra. It's just a baby ultra - 28.8 miles.
let me see king,
...Me and You and a Dog Named Boo
...Free to Be, You and Me
these make for two songs in your repetua as of right now, with three more weeks before the Seattle Rock and Roll you have the potential of having 5 songs under your belt to serenade us with.
so...if 28.8 is a baby ultra, what I did was a toddler ultra then?

I had every intention of running this morning.
I had every intention of NOT running today, but the PT taped my ankle in a new way and wants me to try it out. It's still in the mid-80s and very humid, so I'm going to wait an hour or so. Even if it's still H&H, I might see another terrific sunset - was crossing the bridge from NJ back into PA last night just as it went down - beautiful.

Shame you had to spoil it by driving through Philly.
Speaking of H&H, I took a turn in it today: 8.5m at 1:19:19...the sproink has left the legs for a bit.

I signed up for a half marathon on Saturday, the same race I did as my first ever half last year. It's called Run the Rockies, and it goes from Copper Mountain ski area (elevation 9,700 ft) to the town of Frisco (9,050 ft). The first half is downhill and the second half is rolling. They bill it as "75% downhill", and while this is true, it's misleading because the big hills come at the end.
It's a pretty course but it kicked my butt last year because they only have water at the aid stations, and I didn't bother to find that out ahead of time. This year I'll carry gatorade and gu and hope I don't bonk. The weather forecast is looking perfect. My goal is just to beat last year's time, but probably I won't PR because my PR half was almost all downhill. Last year I did win 1st in AG (out of 4) and it would be fun to have a repeat of that - I hope the fast old wimmin stay home again this year!
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
