    1.5 with DW and tag again. Plus we went though woods and swamp to look for Tag's vest. He didn't care for the leash. He hasn't learned that you can't be ticking off hunters who are packing fire arms.

        7 relaxed trail miles this a.m. with Karen and Coach Bill.  Got to do concentrate on hill climbing since I wasn't going to be out there for miles and miles.  They're both getitng ready for the Whiskeytown 50k in October, and I tell ya, it sure was nice to wave goodbye to them and head home.

          Excellent race ohhhhhhh wiseone. Congratulations. You will need to teach me a thing or two about pacing.

           

          6 wet miles this afternoon. Of the more than 500 Autumn Leaf run racers I was the  only one who got wet since the racers ran in the morning while I ran the same course this afternoon to ensure that all the signs were picked up and no garbage was left behind. This was a ninth year of this event and it represents a bitter sweet moment for me since it was the last big event I organize as the community health educator for the hospital. My whole department was eliminated due to budget crisis. So as of Monday a new chapter will begin for me. Time to rest up a bit, refresh, rethink, clean the house and then try to fine new employment... and ....now I will have no excuse to run all the miles my heart wants to run.

              Nancy, very sorry to hear the bad news.  You have a huge heart and I am sure you will land in a good place after all this. Good luck.    And enjoy running all the miles your heart desires - my highest mileage month ever was the month I was laid off. 

              I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.

                Carolyn that is also my attitude. I will enjoy my time off. I know you guys care that is why I shared this news with you here, but PLEASE, ohhhh please let us not bring it up on the Sunday thread...we have terrific racers who are running this weekend and THEY should be our focus..

                 

                 

                I just can't wait to see how the beers do this weekend...they are  half way to the insane asylum, you know.

                 

                Go racers go!!!!

                  Posie - is commute to Seattle okay?

                  congratulations on AL #9 and on on keeping your 500 runners dry

                  Unforunately, had to scratch tomorrow's Portland but I guess it's a blessing

                  as it is work-related and may necessitate some travel <<<(japan/japan)>>>

                    0533. 67°. 91% RH. 16 character building miles. Two weeks to Indy!


                    Liz, darn, we will miss you.  We are going up Saturday to see the Solar Decathlon.


                    Teresa, I hope you have a blast tomorrow!  



                     

                    Whoa, wait a minute....you comimg to Indy? I live about 50 miles East from there....are you running the Marathon at Fort Ben / Harrison? Let me know as maybe we could meet up.....but I am not running that Marathon though, but could run some miles as a "bandit" with Ya (grins) -----16 miles also today, a wave run. 3 miles at MP at 7:50 pace, then 3 miles at 1/2 MP 7:15....sped that up a little. Easy miles in between, but ended up with a ave pace of 8:11 for the whole run......I feel greta.-------Nice racing Steve (and smart BTW) - Ribs, sweet race there and AG placement - nice long runs to Bill ready for taper, and Holly nice long run tapering. ------TimBo

                    Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

                      Hey Tim, thanks for the shout-out.   You are way too fast to be running any miles with me!  But, I'd love to meet you if you are out on the course or wherever.  Maybe you can give me a bottle of water at mile18 or something?  Or we could meet up after the race?


                      We are going to scoot over to Columbus after we clean up.



                      DH Ralph is going to pace me at Indy.  My goal is 4:22.  (He ran a 3:29 in Myrtle Beach in Feb.)


                      Anyway, let's make plans later.

                        Nancy, you are a WINNER, and will come out just fine somehow.  But sorry. 

                            Now, how about a nice trip to the Oregon Coast?   Lots of places to run, you know.     Hey, there is a 5K and 10K Monster Race in Eugene on Oct. 24th that I will do with Econo's Ben.   Wanna Race?
