Coastwalker hit the road at J o'clock and logged 7.895 RW miles.

I bet you
can't post as fast as BTY swims.

Truer words have not been spoken..typed.

Tetsujin209 gives us a great deal to mull over. He has a fantastic cycle adventure 5.06 app miles. I was at the pharmacy debating on switching my multivitamin over to those marketed at adults of a certain age. I the current multi next to the product I was considering so I could do a compare and contrast. Then I got the pharmacist involved. The line targeted for old folks has smaller print. I'm sure that's no accident.

RunnerKSA has her morning run looking up. 3%. She gets in 3.6, before work, 1.5 during a break before heading down to a government office.

Dave59 moves back into running (Yay!!!) and the new age. He cooked up a homemade 5K with a side of 64GB. For desert, he'll irritate his daughter.

Jlynne was the woman of the hour on the elliptical, knocked out weights and worked the core.

HollyS has 5 on the mill with a sore foot. (Boo).

Buehrle makes a grand return!!!! I'm sorry to hear you've been ill. She's lost weight this time of year!

Tramps stomps out 17+ on the cycle. If you don't already, start out riding into the wind as often as possible. You don't want to work up a seat this time of year then have the wind cool you off.

TammyinGP plans a cool nooner. She successfully pumps out 5.

Tom White pumps out 40 on the ARC. That equipment looks like it could be fun.

Huh? You mean the private sector in Ohio doesn't get all state and federal holidays off?   In Japan, the U.S. employer gave both U.S. and Japan holidays off  = 25 automatic paid holidays s yesr

 

 

 

 

That’s it!  I’m moving back to Japan!

 

There has to be some benefits to living over there. I've lost count of the documentaries I've seen where people are out having a nice - pleasant day. Then some 60' lizard, bug, worm, bird or three headed lizard/bird starts wrecking everything. I can't imagine what property insurance rates are in Japan. It's not unusual for me to go in on holidays to get somethings done without interruption.

Deez4boyz gets in a pre-work 10K. DH's hours are unhealthy. My heart goes out to him.

Joe618 prepares for auditors. (bleah). It makes my brain numb thinking of it. His feets be growing. I'm up to a 13 in Hokas.

Rochrunner gets on his training wheels for 8ish miles then steps up to another 3 while walking. I've not looked at any Rhodale Press magazines even before the digital age because the articles are recycled fluff.

Wildchild's run nearly swept her off her feet as she's getting close to the more miles than degrees club. She works out 7 in 140F.

Hi Runners,

 

Jay, I do want to respond to your question about what to do after retirement.  I've been pondering the question for about 26 years.

 

Brian

Everyday is Saturday. Question answered.

BTY has a crazy ambitious pool workout planned. He dries the gills for 1.75 on his feet miles.

Runr_nut is going to the dogs and gets out 4.5 miles.

Falconfixer fires up 4.6 at lunchtime.

Surly Bill has 7.75  miles.

Evanflein has a long travel day so she can beat the hell out herself with friends.

I got 4 miles on the treadmill and got my butt handed to me at work. It happens.

Mornin' everyone.

Thanks again for the recap/start, Steve. Have fun at the b-ball game tonight, KSA.

I also have to share the bed, especially in the winter, with the cat who wants some of my body heat. She leaves DW alone - that's what I get for being the one who feeds the cat. Like Evanflein, I get contorted into strange and unusual positions by said cat who couldn't care less.

There are those who could learn from us!

I'm sure that's true. But what scares me is what they might learn!

I was on sproinkless legs for my workout yesterday, so I tried to make up for it today with some mile fartleks. It was my first fartlek workout in quite a while, and I wasn't impressed. But it did help me warm up 'cause I was a little under-dressed for the 20° temps. 6.7 RW miles at 4:05am. The sliver 'o moon that was there yesterday has slithered away, leaving Venus on her own in the eastern sky.

Have a greta Wednesday.

Jay

Good morning, all.  No running recently, but 1/2 hour of walking Maggie at 6am in 21° before departing for work.  It's been 18 years since we've had a puppy and much of the remembrances of energy, nipping, and chewing have been lost in the fog.  DW gets the majority of it (short interruption while all the ladies say "So, what else is new?") while I'm at work, but I try to tire her out when I get home.

And relative to a portion of yesterday's discussions, we gave up right off the bat and she's sleeping on our bed right from the start.  My major complaint is not so much space as she anchors down the covers and end up trying to yank them back to keep my butt covered.  But she pretty much sleeps through.

Jlynne--ouch. Yeah, I can't imagine there's much to celebrate at Lambeau this year.

Sometimes we miss our dogs...but not enough to start over with new ones. It's nice to be able to travel without needing to make arrangements, etc.

I did a 6.3 mile brisk-walk. I'm not sure what to call these. Not a run, not race-walking, not a regular walk pace but I don't think it qualifies as power-walking either. "Brisk-walk" for now.

Just a few flakes of snow this morning, our first of the season. You had to look hard to see them, though.

I always liked Mike Holmgren.   He's probably aged out but a really good coach, IMHO.    Maybe hire Urban Meyer since he's taking early retirement??

We had one wonderful dog, Sammy, a Corgi, for about 15 years.   And, when he died, we decided to be a "One Dog Family", remembering Sammy well.   And being quite happy to travel when we wanted.

The "Seattle Softies" would not be a great name for a hard-hitting NHL team.   But the Totems??

Took the day off from running today...have an upper ITB sorness that rest helps a bit.   It was better on the 5 miler yesterday so giving it a day off.  Turned out to be a good decision...we had a light snowfall overnight but the temps were right at the freezing mark and the streets were very, very icy this morning.   Many accidents in the city for the morning drive and many many cars in ditches.   I saw three cars spin out just as I drove to work.   Good morning to not be running on said streets with said drivers.

Steve, your recap always makes me smile...thank you for investing that time for us each day!!!!

Enjoy your Wednesdays!

Joe

Kind of an off day for me. I'll try to keep 10,000 steps a day streak alive by going for a couple walks.  I found accidentally that I can get my step count up by using my left hand to hold my Pure Flow Cordless Massager when I work on my calf.  (My Garmin is on my left arm and is apparently fooled by the vibrations.)  But I don't want to cheat to reach my goal.

 

oh, and what was this thing I saw in yesterday's daily about SS benefits and being born before 1954? my husband is drawing SS benefits but born in 1954. Is he eligible for something else we aren't aware of??

I think it was something about being able to draw benefits and still be employed fulltime?
