Maybe coach'll okay climb a mountain though. ps - hey barbley, are ya feeling well enough to walk some of 'em with mom? Not that I'd know anything about it or anything like that but maybe she'd like it, . . . you too. Smile

I believe I can see the Doublemint twins above me. (hee hee hee) How 'bout that Tribe? I enjoyed "watching" the game with Ribs. Pronounced "Ribz" MTA: Econo Woods, that'd be cool if we could find the common ancestor! Hey, Ribs, maybe Ma Econo is related to that White Sox pitcher, too, Cousin Mark!

Yay, Mari! I'm looking forward to your RR! I'm really happy for all of you who have lovely spring weather. Sitting out on the porch or deck sounds so nice... Look who's out on my porch today:

Running is still not a possibility, as we're still waiting for my neighbor to plow us out. Three feet of heavy, wet snow is really hard to plow, so it's taking him a while to get here, but he says he has most of our road clear, and the county has plowed the main roads, so maybe tomorrow I'll be able to venture out for a run in yaks.

Yea, but I hear it is going to hit 70, yes 70, in CO soon so your sympathy will be alas short lived! Smile

Wow, you guys are making me Cry

with all this demonstration of love and support. With all these good vibes, people running a few miles here and there in the distance with me, a super knowledgeable coach, a support crew that would make an elite runner jealous, my DH, made it possible for my wings to fly and float over those 26.2 miles. I would be lying to say that it was easy, marathon running never is, but I am so pleased with the end result. Unofficial time: 4:04:34. (just 4 minutes short of a BQ...which is starting to look like a reality for my wings). I gave it all on the race course, emptied the tank and proud of it. Big grin

Thanks Ribs for crafting a speed runner out of a slow poke in less than 6 months. And thanks to YOU my fellow runners for being an inspiration to me. Now time to take an ice bath, eat dinner that my DS2 is cooking for me and then craft a race report. And...that picture was taken with my cell phone, sorry about the poor quality.

It's supposed to hit 70° in the flatlands, but here in the high country only 50° by midweek. It'll take a long time for 3 ft of snow to melt, and it will be mud season for weeks. Just the way I like it...
