Here at work on this Friday, when I imagine a lot of folk don't have to work today...but just one day, then the weekend will be here. My new foot doctor told me to come back and see him, when my AT has been pain free for at least 5 days, which it has. Wish me luck today, with some hopefully good news Smile

I imagine I am at least a couple of weeks away from running / jogging, but still have the broken toes issue to deal with too. Erika, I forgot to mention...I loved the picture you posted the other day when you were a youngster, very very cute! Hope all that were / are sick, get better real soon! TGIF, and have a great day.

Good morning Tim. Hoping you get some positive news! I ran 7 miles this morning in unseasonably warm temps. Took it easy and ran the 7 miles in 1:05. Didn't have any desire to push it so just cruised. Enjoy all those after-Xmas sales and return lines everyone! Bill

Morning Tim and Bill Sounds like things are heading in the right direction Tim, Bil nice way to start Boxing Day. I'm still not running, the ankle is on the mend so might try out my inov-8's tomorrow as the weight is piling on. Good Runs All Roy

Good luck, Tim. Broken bones in the feet can take forever to heal. It's going to be 50 deg. today. No tights! Yay! Good runs all. Tim C.

Nice hearing from you Roy! GL Tim! Nice 7 Byll I got up early again on this day off to beat the traffic and have the roads alone, car free. So out the door at 4:30 for a nice hilly 14 miles in 1:52:53 (8:03 pace AHR 156). This is a hugh PR for this hilly route, mainly due to really attacking the hills. It was a nice clear 35F. Just perfect! Enjoy the day and hope you don't have to return stuff Smile

Good Morning! Tim – good luck! You should ask Perch to e-mail you his plan for return to running after injury. It’s a good plan, and eases you back with run/walk intervals. RunninginDC/Liz – those interview questions you were talking about….do you think you could e-mail them to me at hollys4874 at yahoo dot come? 7.75 sluggish miles for me today in a pleasant 28 degrees. All that fueling yesterday, and yet I just felt stiff and tired today…maybe from 8+ hours standing in the kitchen cooking and then cleaning up. I think maybe standing uses different muscles than running. DH is still pretty sick today, and I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that I don’t get it. The kids and I are off now to take Daisy for her shots and maybe to exchange some Hannah Montana pajamas for a bigger size if the lines aren’t too long…DD is growing fast…

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."

5 miles tempo in my new Sugo running skirt. 44:53, 8:58 pace. I didn't set out for a tempo run particularly, but I felt a little speedy, and just a bit cold at the start so I wanted to get moving. We've got the day off, so I'll be catching up on some stuff around the house, and might just go to the fabric store to investigate a new project. That is guaranteed me-time, as no one around here can bear the thought of going into JoAnn Fabric with me. Have a great day everyone, especially those of you in healing-mode.

Happy Boxing Day to you, Roy (and Mrs. Roy, Woody, and all our Canadian friends) Good to see you back again. Guess I missed the ankle injury. Glad to hear you're almost back. Out for a late Friday run on a gorgeous, brisk day. 20 degrees but bright blue sky and sun. Everything melted enough yesterday that the sidewalks and roads were almost completely clear. 5.2 miles in just over 47 minutes. The first half must have been better than I thought, because it sure didn't feel like 9 minute miles on the last stretch. Smile

Tim--I think you have the true spirit of Christmas in you and are nice enough to share. Holly--hope you stay healthy, since the universal truth is that moms don't get sick days, even when they are Wink

Have a great day and great runs, wherever they may be. Kevin

Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

Sounds good Tim. Another in a series of 2 mile runs today. Another pair of new shoes - Asics Foundation. I don't think today was a good day to try out the shoes though. Too much of everything yesterday made for a difficult run anyway. These shoes seem better for me than the Brooks. I'll have another go tomorrow. If these shoes don't work then I'll consider going back to the Gel Evolution - bursitis be d@mned. Good runs all.

Good morning everyone! I got to sleep in until 6:20 this morning -- bliss. I almost went back to sleep but quick calculation told me I'd already slept more than 8 hours and that I was burning daylight! Smile

(Well the sun didn't rise until 7:27 this morning, but you get the idea). I tried my hand at running by feel again, and again went a bit too fast. Sigh. I was shooting for 8:20-8:30/mi and ended up maybe 15-20 seconds faster than that. It's all good though. I just need more practice. Actually I didn't spend much time thinking about pace at all -- I just ran -- at least I didn't end up 20 seconds slower than it felt. 10.2 miles, 1:22:47, 8:07/mi, AHR 150 It seems I broke 7000 miles lifetime with this run today. I've been pretty lucky to avoid any longterm injuries so far (knock woody).

4 fast miles with Marj (who kept doing hill repeats while I plodded along). Day off tomorrow while we have our family Hannukah party (postponed from last Saturday's snowstorm). 21 more miles to hit 1300 this year.
