no butterfly hugs for me -- ran 10 this morning at recovery pace. Maybe next week I'll try to run a bit faster...

I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
I like DLS because I never run in the mornings anymore. So an evening run, although harder to prepare for nutrition wise, is very enjoyable. And it makes you feel like summer is here. Holly I think the whole DLS is for commuters, to maximize the time they are spending in rush hour in daylight, to minimize accidents, but if you look on wikipedia there are other proposed benefits.
I joined Brownies and lasted three weeks. Sitting on a gym floor singing songs was just not my thing, and I couldn't wait the six months until we got to do something cool like camping.
Got off to a rocky start today as my DD got hysterically upset at her brother who was outside the car teasing her. Then I found myself yelling at him too, geez, hope the other parents didn't hear that. Why can't there ever be peace and tranquility in our family, especially first thing in the morning?
6 miles for later today.....gonna wear tights because I don't trust the forcast, yesterdays 47 turned into 43 with flurries.

Mary - you are simply a genius!! Thanks!
Craneium - NICE RIDE!!!
George - congratulations, proud Papa!
dg - OK you can stop tapping now - you must be tired after that nice run! I had just decided over the weekend that I was miraculously cured and could resume everyday runs. Can't blame me for trying, huh?
I didn't do Girl Scouts, but I do admit to having a past Girl Scout Cookie addiction (back when they were $2.50/box and several of my co-workers were selling cookies for their daughters - someone should do a survey to find out how many Scouts and not their parents actually sell the darn things). Frozen thin mints were a favorite.
Stupid meetings and other work-related junk getting in the way today. I had to miss yoga and am hoping to sneak over to the gym later this afternoon for an exercise fix.

Ok gang somebody explain to me why you find Girl Scout cookies at all tempting. I am lost on this. Cookies, really good ones, are easy to make. They are even easier to buy. In my occasional Girl Scout cookie samplings I have never found them to be all that good. When forced to get them I basically leave them in the office for others to take. I am generally stunned to find them gone! Why, why, why are people encouraging the mass production of bad cookies?
I'm with you. The only Girl Scout cookies I even bother with are not even cookies. It's the Edy's ice cream, Samoas (I will not call them Caramel deLites). And even that would be sparingly. My DW's cookies are way better.
Thought I would share this with the group. DW just changed jobs and therefore offices. Her old job was running the fitness centers and doing health promotion for Xerox. Her new job is similar, but her office has changed. She used to be in one of their fitness centers, and she really liked some of the motivational posters on the wall, especially one that had red rock in it. We recently did some hiking in Sedona, and her birthday is on St. Patrick's Day, so I thought I would take a picture from there and turn it into a motivational poster for her new office. It is DW doing pushups in the photo.

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."

Craneium, that is one awesome birthday present!!!! I would love to see her face when she opens her gift.
If I am going to sin with a cookie, I am going to sin big and with a style. .
I made this for Sunday's party and it was well liked.

Too bad Tag doesn't get along with the grandkids
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
awwww. SteveP, I meant to say too, thanks for the pictures from DS's 19th bday party. What was Noah sitting in?
Craneium, how cool. How does she like it?
Lou, 10 at recovery pace? Do you really recover with that long a run? Not that I'm running enough days to need one, but I want to be ready just in case.
Eliz, I'm glad you are back. I was wondering about you.
Sue, "decided over the weekend that I was miraculously cured and could resume everyday runs" that's more or less just what I did last Friday!
One more picture comment... Jeanne, that picture of Will is so preciousl I was looking at it the other day, thinking about all he went through. What a sweetheart... makes me want to hug him.
SteveP, I meant to say too, thanks for the pictures from DS's 19th bday party.
