Dave59 hits the streets for thee miles and gets our hopes up for fresh meat. new members of the merry band of misfits. I hope the stress works itself out.

RunnerKSA gets out the door for 2.9. She burns it up for 2.5 on the treadmill after work. I hope you're back to normal soon.

C-R mills at the hotel gym for three.

HollyS keeps it indoors for 3 and core work.

Coastwalker uses discretion and opts for a rest day.

Rochrunner offers up a movie review and knocks out 12 on the bike trainer.

Joe618 enjoys a rest day until he changed his mind and went out for 8. Watch the wonky.

Fatozzig enjoys a gladitude mile!!!

Tom White has 30 minutes poolside.

(Music trivia: McDonald used to sing for Steely Dan, who I also listen to once in a great while.)

 

You're forgetting his side project "McDonald and the Chipmunks"

Tramps logs a nice 5K. I've found some interesting artifacts on the old trails out our way.

Quickadder has face 2 face time with an obscure legend.(Extremely kewl) He has 5 morning miles.

Mrrun shows off a wonderful day. Thank you for the pictures. We're landing in Tampa in two weeks. I hope I don't go through snow shovel withdrawals.

TwoCat boasts two and a quarter rehab miles!!!

AnneB Logs 3! (sounds like a title to a children's book)

Wildchild mixes it up all over the place. You are a wild one!

Surly Bill takes it easy for four and a half miles. He's bragging that nothing hurts. What's that like?

Evanflein has a pissed off 5.2. I'm so sorry for the aggravation. Tuesday night Tag and I had a person in a clunker repeatedly pace us then spin his times on the road slush. pull ahead. stop. and repeat when the dog and I caught up. this one didn't change my blood pressure much.

Falconfixer has a get well soon run for 6.

Spacityrunner has a hard four and begs for more winter!

The beloved Tetsujin209 surprised himself with another accidental 10.

MikeE checks in with 12.

I went out for 4.25 in the AM. The dog and I went out for an additional two. He was out of steam, but very happy to be out with the old man.

Thanks Steve for the recap and when in Tampa go check out Cigar City Brewing or Cycle Brewing. Two of the best in the land.

Do woke me at 5:30 so I hit the treadmill at 6 since its so foggy here I can't see the end of the driveway. Seemed safer.

Day trip for business in Dayton so actually a bit less hectic than usual.

Cheers.

Mornin' everyone.

Thanks once again, Steve. M. McDonald singing with the Chipmunks is a pretty scary concept. Good workout with the steamed-out dog.

Nice response to the doggie wake-up call, C-R.

Good for you for supporting your daughter's fundraiser, KSA.

I always think that aggressive/harassing drivers like that are really insecure people. They think it's good sport to go after people who can't do anything back to them. Or is that a manifestation of their jealousy of runners and cyclists who are doing something for joy and for themselves?

I thought about going back to bed after feeding the cat this morning, but found myself getting dressed to head out for a workout instead. I got as bar as the end of the driveway before deciding that the roads were covered with enough icy slush from last night's precip. to ensure that it would be a very slow and slippery trip at best. So I went back inside for some stretching, core work, and make some progress on a document we're drafting. When I left for the office a few hours later, the roads were still slick and slippery, so I think I made the right call.

Have a greta Thursday.

Jay

Thanks Steve.

No more getting mad as buses for me, . . .

until tomorrow when the second snow of the year

is supposed to start falling at a very. supposedly precise1:00 p.m.

.

five miles - having driven in the snow all my life without incident (except when someone slid into me in 1976), will venture out in the family Volt later this morning to take DW to tennis classes that have been cancelled so far this week so, with no opportunity for another five milex2 commute if the bus doesn’t come again, registered five so pre-jay, crunchy-crackly, hard-packed, 21^oF icy miles with trekking poles rarely experienced in Seattle consisting of two over-and-back total miles to the Hillside Park for another three miles of figure-eighting the six stairways therein to maximize ascending as many stairs as possible (800) that, completely unjay-like, instead of going back to finish up some documents, read the paper, answer/draft/catch up on e-mails, making breakfast for everyone, hosting guests, going to the office for the first of 38-and-a-half meetings scheduled before noon, etc. I went back to sleep.after I got back.  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ETA dnaff - any friend of dave's is a friend of mine, . . . as long as you run in the rain, are willing to try triathlons for fun and cross-training, don't train or wear tights, run barefoot, like stairs, trails and hills (sometimes called mountains), don't mind people who take more than seven hours to run their marathons, know how to post  pictures, and post in short, easy-to-read sentences.

I've been reading books by the old Puritans and like Tet, their paragraphs are usually made up of a single sentence.  I believe reading the books has made it easier for me to follow Tet's posts. 

4 miles this morning.Went out a bit late as it’s warming up and going to hit 80 today.

Went to a local restaurant last night and they had wonderful jazz in thei wine bar. Mostly locals there and it reminded me of the jazz bars I used to frequent in my younger years.

 

Speaking of Virginia...  if things keep going the way they are, I'll be next in line to be governor soon. 

 

Hide your year books!

dnaff—sometimes we go on tangents around here...
