Hey, I don't mind leap day, but I have 3 digital watches and they all read 3/1 this morning! Tomorrow I will have to figure which button to hold down to get into set-up mode and fix all of them. I haven't been around because I haven't been doing much running. I wasn't feeling very good, no appetite and getting light headed whenever I do very much. So I went to the doctor, he put me in the hospital for a couple days for tests, one stress test showed a possible issue, but a follow-up test on Monday showed it was nothing. I was at the doctor yesterday to wrap up all this nonsense and I got the "all clear" to do whatever I wanted when it comes to exercising. I think I just let the stress get to me and then I was having some anxiety over the light headedness which made it all worse. So I put a few races on my calendar to get me motivated starting with a 5k in about 7 weeks and I hope I am back in the game. The Crim 10-mile race is only 175 days away and I would like to lose some weight, get in shape, and run a PR this year. Snow is coming down pretty heavy right now although 4 inches in the most we're expecting. I hope to go for a run around lunch time if not sooner.

And then there's Holly's amazing X training routine....I don't think I would have the patience to do all that as consistently as you do...good job

Thanks, Tim, but there are others here who do as much or more than I do, and just don't post the details. I know CNYrunner is one - she does 3 strength-training workouts/week, on top of some serious mileage.

So do you wear them all on one wrist? Or maybe one on each wrist and an ankle? How does this work out? We may be the last generation that wears watches at all. My DS could never see the sense in owning a watch since he always has a cell phone with him that always shows the correct time.

One is old and scratched up but I keep it around in a drawer and you never know when it may be needed so I have to keep it on the right date. One is my favorite for everyday and for running. It has a 30 lap feature but isn't loaded with so many features that it is too confusing. That one has a bad band but a new one should be arriving from Campmor today! And I bought a new one last summer that has multiple countdown timers so I could do the run/walk stuff. But I hate the beeper going off every 5/1 minutes so I don't use it much. My daughters are both the same with the cell phone and watches. The only time I take my cell phone is if I am going on an extended trip, otherwise I like to just stay unreachable.

11.5 miles this morning-running for the first time to my satellite office...crossed three towns. Left at 10 degrees. Paged once so I had to stop and answer else uneventful run dodging ice and cars. Running home tonight will be more exciting... Have a good day all.

WOW, 23 mile day Tim

In my world you can never have too many watches, bicycles, or pairs of sneakers/running shoes. How else can you color coordinate with everything you are wear? I am always shocked when I see people who don't wear a watch. I cannot stand to not know what time it is, but enough about my OCD...

I just looked at my digital watch and see that it also says 3/1 on it. Guess it's time to figure out how to reset this. I'm glad to hear DH is well and safe. Hopefully he'll return but if not, then I guess we just need to respect this decisions. btb: your post yesterday afternoon about your run and subsequent meeting was a hoot! I'm feeling better today and will get in a 4 mile run during the lunch hour. I have a visit with my chiro first to get me back into alignment. I have noticed the last 2 wks that my stride when running feels "clunky" - which is usually indicative that my pelvis is out of alignment causing one leg to be a bit longer than the other. So, I'll get adjusted, then go for my run. That should feel much better. I need to do a 15 mile run this weekend, so am trying to figure out if I join my running club tomorrow at 8 a.m. when there is a 70% chance of light rain, or do I wait til Sunday afternoon when it's going to be partly cloudy and low 50's, but then have to run solo? hmmmm, decisions, decisions. . ..
