Whew...srl...glad that's all she meant by manly assistance. Surprised

When I'm thinking those terms, I'm thinking something else entirely! Well, I'm antsy, so Renee and I are heading out for her evening constitutional. I have my heart rate monitor and garmin on...just going to test the ankle. It feels like a different ankle than this morning, so I want to see how a couple running miles feel. Just 2 if it goes well. Might just be 200' if it doesn't feel so good. Wink

thanks!!!! I really am ok. I wasn't sure at the time... I think I startled some walkers. No real damage. It would rather I didn't kneel on it... discovered that when I was gardening earlier. btw... I think gardening is the best post run stretch recovery thing! For me, at least, it's better to keep moving anyway. Range of motion, endorphin replenishment, good stuff. (((Jlynne))) Karin congratulations on your AG first! No surprise... but you're back. Yes

Stevep, congratulations on your dance partner. Smile

Mary..." best long run in a very, very long time! " Big grin

Well some Bowie might be better than the ELO that was playing the other night, all night long. Lynden, nice photos of you running in Lynden in NWRunner mag! Sounds like a nice town.

I had no smoothie. I am a smoothie. And the line did not really work out. Is ok. Ok, maybe I'm NOT a smoothie.

they're not bad but they have an annoying name. If it would have.. really, then it would make you wonder a little, wouldn't it? if you had any degree of seriousness there, ... i'm glad is ok. good. makes me think of Nick the Lounge Lizard.

Hills, what hills...I live in Indiana for goodness sakes...we have no hills. Really, you may show if you have the day off...very cool 7 easy miles today, to finish off a 30 mile weekend...more than I drove, lol Timmy

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

7.87 trail miles in 1:39:15. Again had the forest to myself except for near the near the end. Legs pretty tired from yesterday's climb fest, but made it through. Running buddy, Karen, ended up puking her guts out all night, so I was on my own. Am trying to remember if she breathed on me. . . . Undecided

I got in 4 hilly miles with Tazzie and Ladybug before the snow started. Then we got about 2-3 inches. Sad

Holly, I don't know how you stay awake in church after getting up at 3:30 and running 20 miles Surprised

srl, I love your smooth manly assistance offerings! What a stud muffin! Karin, congrats on 1st in AG! I'm so glad it's only 8 months till Christmas - this snow is making me sing Christmas Carols! [NOT]

Hi Spareribs, I'm in North Dallas half the week for the next month...are you far from there? Nice long distance weekend timbo. Actually a lot of 20-mile runs today I see :-) Congrats on the AG win CNY! It must have been hot! I missed a morning run, so had to wait until it cooled off a bit. I went out at before sunset and was having such a great time, my five-miler turned into a 12-miler. My legs feel great and it was fun to just let go and run...

had a great 12-miler at sunset as the cold front came in.

-2009 running goals - sub-3 after Boston (probably VCM), 3 PRs, 2009 miles for the year, and no untreated injuries
