The cuddly lion is still here, he's just hiding behind the cardinal.

I admit I am just reading this to get some enthusiasm to get out there and run. I ran a difficult for me race last Sat., and still just feel tired and lazy and not motivated. Need a kick to get going, and. OK now - get going - Woodslady!

Quote from Woods Lady on 8/20/2010 at 2:31 PM:

Ok - just got back from a 2 mile hot run. Felt not bad, and I am glad I just did it.

Up at 4:30 to run at 5. Just six easy miles in comfortable temps. Getting ready for our night practice.

4.1 miles at lunchtime, nice and easy but I felt tired. Probably should've just taken the day off. Oh well. Like Woods Lady, I just went out there and did it.

I'm really looking forward to the weekend, but wish I felt better. Of all the things DH had to share, he could've kept this to himself.

Why do I have this image of TW inhaling deeply as he holds his new running shoes close to his face?

My thoughts exactly, the new shoe smell can cause delusions of grandeur

Courage ! Do one brave thing today...then run like hell.

Erika... nice hilly run yesterday! Have you tried using Garmin Connect with the Elevation Corrections enabled? The elevation profiles from Training Center or RA Log are worthless.

My favorite pair of shoes right now are Adidas Supernovas. I got them because they were on sale for 50% off and they have been great. Plus Adidas takes me back to when there were a lot fewer shoe choices and they were the main ones.

I haven't had time to do anything these past two days, let alone get in here and keep up with you folks. Although I did see that graph, Mizz Erika. SuWEET run! Come down and do Headlands 50 (yes, that would be 50 miles). Lots of climbing and beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay at times. And I'd crew for you!

Been researching cars like crazy. I'm becoming a car research web site.

The Hub finally went to the doctor. Concussion and whiplash are the order of the week. Muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatories are the drugs of the day, with doses of massage at varying intervals. I'm not certified, but I give a darn good massage. He says things are just weird. Can't concentrate, headaches, things seem to be a bit fuzzy. He's off work until the start of his regular week on Tuesday. In the meantime, it's falling to me to test drive cars this weekend.

I'm also suppose to get in 22 miles tomorrow and 12 on Sunday. Suddenly I'm a bit tired.

Have a great weekend -

It's not Sunday yet so tw is still zipping effortlessly, on his own personal track.. Smile

Woods Lady, good for you!

Erika I wish you felt better too. yes... Twin Cities, I'll talk more about it later today, I think. could use some feedback.
