Good morning! Thanks, Roy, for starting us out, and congratulations on your new elected position. Enkephalin wrote:

Ok, so I did the above race, even though I had stomach cramps all last night and woke up with a headache too....Wilderness Peak loop kicked my butt. ..., I had to stop for a minute from shear exhaustion, from just WALKING! 10.19 miles 2:25:29 14:16 pace no face plants

Enke - now THAT is a victory! Great job, Tuff Girl! Mariposai – congratulations on your 3rd AG placement! Tim – just remember, you won’t be running a marathon in that kind of heat. No run for me today. Maybe I can use this time to finally get all my spring photos edited and sent off for prints. Happy Sunday!

Rest day for me. And in a few minutes, a rare travel day as I head to the office in Charleston, WV.

I came home and walked in the door and Renee is flipping out and my son (18 mo) greets me with a casual "Mom." (reminded me of "Norm" from Cheers).

That cracks me up. I can picture a little kid doing that. Some Norm quotes to start the day: "Whatcha up to Norm?" "My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall." "What's going on Mr. Peterson?" "A flashing sign in my gut that says, 'Insert beer here.'" "How's it going Mr. Peterson?" "It's a dog eat dog world, Woody & I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear."

"Beer Norm?" "Isn't it a little early?" "What, for beer?" "No, for stupid questions." The Saint and I are headed out for a walk together. Congrats on the promotion Roy. Spareribs

I can't believe a 4 mile run, even a recovery run, the day after a marathon. We're all nuts, but you are nuts. This is probably on DickyG's link but I like this one (ok it's a Cliff quote, but still from Cheers): "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." -- Cliff Clavin I was worried about this run, because of that motivation/confidence thing, but it went fine. The lower humidity helped -- it was "only" 75% at the start, but as the temps warmed up (69°F->76°F) the humidity dropped to 65%. Workout: 15.2 miles, 8:58/mi, AHR 156 Overall: 16.2 miles, 2:25 Have a great run today!

Hey kids. TPFD here. I know I've adopted KR as my main place to waste time and be unproductive, but I thought I could perhaps, enhance my non productivity with some help from the RA community. I recently had a arthroscopic cartilage repair on my knee. I've been down for a bit (last run 5/18). But I am cleared for take off and am hoping to make a renewed and successful effort at using the most preferred running log in RA. Which kind of brings me so close to RA Masters Running that it would darn near just impolite to not say hi. I see lots of familiar faces here. Just this morning, Roy, Holly, Bill, Gregory, Steve, and Lou. I guess I need to meet all you others. But I have to say, I like DickyG's style already. Today's post fits the avatar perfectly! I also see Mariposai, Ilene, tet,busiman, CNY (!), Tall, evan, dg (!!)....ok I quit. Nice to see you all safe and sound here, and I hope to a good impression on those I haven't met before my true personality shows its ugly head. Hi! Craig TPFD Oh yeah, I swam today (my second day of workouts), and I hope to test my knee with the bike later.

Hi, Craig - welcome to RA. I think.
