and run yet (hee hee) but here's my plan:
run 5.5 in 18 degrees (I have on lots of layers)
hour swim (probably not gonna make this one today)
hour of Zumba
hour of Yoga
lunch w/ a friend
My favorite way to spend a Saturday!
Happy running on this freezy day everyone!

Helen, that'll be the first Fine of the New Year for starting before running.
Yesterday's slow cooker Pork Raost was a huge success. Delicious. Pulled Pork sandwiches tomorrw.
5 easy miles at 9 minute mile pace. One mile at MP without intending to. Chilly, breezy morning at 48°. Lots of people out running their last MLR's before Disney next week.

"Some are the strong, silent type. You can't put your finger on exactly what it is they bring to the table until you run without them and then you realize that their steadiness fills a hole that leaks energy in their absence." - Kristin Armstrong
Crazy windy here in the Philly 'burbs today, but this is my marathon year - eek! - so I need to get out there eventually.
Happy first weekend of 2010, all.

Good morning, all.
Easy 5 @ around 8:45 (Garmin wasn't charged this morning). 24F and howling wind.
Holiday detox begins today.
Have a good one.
ETA: Walt--where can I get a pair of those nerdy socks?! Great race!
Be safe. Be kind.
Good Morning Everyone, Tramps I know what you mean about the holiday detox but I'll wait a couple more days
Brutal out there today 12F & breezy w/ 4 inches of fresh snow hiding the old snow & ice so off to the gym.
4.5 treadmill very slow miles. Did a 5k yesterday just for fun for DW & 50 running friends. 30:20 on the snow & ice.
Awesome race yesterday for Walt maybe those will catch on! Denise nice racing too
Nice BOWLING day yesterday with Buckeyes winning & Penn St. too. Yes I'm a big Buckeye fan but also follow Penn St. QB Darrell Clark is a great young man and we are from the same neighborhood.
Have a Great Weekend
Courage ! Do one brave thing today...then run like hell.
3.1 miles, 28:42, 9:07/mi, AHR 135 (66% MHR)
Some of you already know from facebook that PDR's dad passed away on Thursday. I'm not great with words but he was a wonderful father, grandfather and great-grandfather and will be missed. He was surrounded by his children when he went, peacefully.

Good morning good people. Hope day two of twenty-ten is going well for y'all.
Hey Bill - how about that Florida game last night?! Great pictures of your family yesterday. DS looks just like his father and the wimmin in the picture were gorgeous. You're a lucky guy! Do you have a recipe for the pork you did in your slow cooker? It sounds delicious.
Helen - that's an ambitious schedule for a Saturday. Have a great time!
Eliz and Sarge - Your weather is a heat wave compared to here. It's -3° with 15-20 mph winds. Supposed to stay this way for another couple of days.
Nice races for Mary, Francesca, Walt and Deez yesterday (may be missing some more, sorry).
Steve, I think we really need to hear the "first date" story. Will you share?
I didn't get my 12 mile run yesterday. I forgot that the Y was having an open house to get new members and the place was an absolute zoo. So I did 4 yesterday. but I did 12 today, 9:50 pace. That's a long time on a treadmill, people. Watched an infomercial for a food processor, one about a program to help your kids do better in school, and a show about some guys bear hunting in Canada. Arrrgggg!!! Shoot me now! At least that's my last long run until after the half.
Like Tramps, we're starting detox here this weekend. Candy - gone. Cookies - in the garbage. Leftover lemon meringue pie - well..... ok, that's gone too. I'm on a mission to lose some weight, and I'm taking my family with me!
MTA - PDR and WRFB, I'm so sorry to hear about your father's death. He was a great man and I know you'll all miss him terribly. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers today.
Trails are hard!
Lou and Harriet--I'm very sorry to hear that Dear Old Dad has passed away. It sounded like he had a good holidays with his family, but I'm sure that nothing makes that easy. My condolences to all the generations.
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

My condolences to Harriet and Lou. I know how much you both loved him.
Didn't run today and feel a bit out of sorts. Kind of strange just getting up and getting ready for the day. Now I don't really know what to do with myself. Could vacuum, but don't really want to! I'm detoxing too .... tomorrow.

i'm lovin' it... MM#1949
Lou and Harriet.. it's wonderful DOD could go in peace with his siblings there. You all have great courage and compassion. Best wishes.
Tramps.. wasn't that wind nasty?
2 miles with Tory and Sadie then 6 miles at 9:07 pace. The roads heading north were brutal with that icy wind.
Walt... that was a great PR... the crystal ball sees a sub 3:15 marathon

Yea, Steve you opened this up and inquiring minds want to know!
DW went off to the running club for a freezing cold 4 miler today. The banana-chip muffins went with her too. None came back, which I figure is a good sign.
