Really wanted and need to get in a long run today but that won't happen. No time to get up on the mountain. Probably only end up with about 7-9 miles again this evening. Won't rule out a bike ride as well.
QOTD: Anyone ever participate in the Nielsen TV ratings or any other ratings agencies for anything else ? Got a phone call from them about a week or two ago and they wanted to send me a diary. Hasn't arrived yet. I don't think the caller liked some of my answers so I was probably excluded. Not the first time that has happened.
SRD.
QOTD: I have not done that.

Glorious evening here yesterday- upper 60's, light breeze, still damp (but not muddy) from the previous day rain- perfect! 7.5 miles w/ ~ 1500' of gain
Plan is to run the same route this evening in reverse
qotd: we don't watch enough tv to make it worthwhile for them, but never have been contacted either

2022 goal- 2022 miles √
2021 goal- 2021 miles √
Africa hot here today as I am now in the south--Madison, compared to where I usually am anyway. Ran some intervals in the Arb early today and it was already in the low 80's and heading up. I am not a warm weather enthusiast at all. I prefer flannel shirt weather or colder.
A little over a week for me and I'll be heading to Colorado, Utah, and Idaho for a couple weeks. Lot of snow up high yet so some of my adventure plans may have to be altered a little. We shall see.
QOTD--Nielsen, a somewhat famous UW alum who has given generously to the school. Has the indoor tennis stadium named for him. I have never been approached for that and I would be a poor candidate as I only watch MSNBC for a couple hours in the evening.
NHLA--wanted to say your project looks fantastic! Very well done.

A nice 7 miles...saw old man Bob.
QOTD: Nope.
Xtreme: Have a good race this weekend.

Been MIA this week from RA. Our work office moved and it's been a little hectic. So 1.5 years ago I gained my own office as I was promoted to a manager position. We outgrew our old office and now I am back in a cubicle in our new digs. It kinda sucks but the new place has it's perks. We get to use the gym/locker room of the building right next to us so lunch time runs might be in my future!
GL XT - go get 'em!
QOTD: No. They would not want our participation. Other than some sports, we don't watch much TV.
Have a great day!
My favorite day of the week is RUNday
I would gladly give up my office for use of a gym/shower next door!! Offices are lonely any way. You mentioned using the gym for lunch, what about weights? Don't you need to bulk up a bit.

Been mia, weather over here across the pond has been great!! Nice early morning runs, but also a few SRD. Did 5 mi the other day and then 10 this morning.
If I go up to the top floor workout room of my hotel I can see the building that burned off in the distance. What a tragic situation.
Totally agree!!!
qotd: yes we did the survey a very long time ago. I think we just filled in our favorite shows, not necessarily what we watched.

Did a few early miles on the road.
Tying to catch up with all the work I let slide while getting ready for our last race. Today, weather was perfect for finishing mt pop-up refreshment. The plastic top had cracked, which was a big issue with Fleetwood travel trailers (and resulted in their 2009 Bankruptcy). I had already puled off the old plastic and thanks to YouTube, sprayed on a truck bed liner to replace the plastic.

After
QOTD: Never asked to participate. We don't watch any major network shows, so they wouldn't like us. History Channel, Discovery Channel, Food Network and sports.
“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!
Yoga today, and lots of walking. I also had plans to row but that didn't happen.
Sandy-- London must be a crazy place right now. Seeing that building aflame was unbelievable. It's such a tragedy, and from the news reports, should never have happened.
AT, NHLA -- all these projects. Makes me feel lazy....
qotd: Never have. I don't necessarily understand the process of who and how they select.
7 humid miles. Tough running.
Qotd never asked.
Thanks guys. Still need to repair asphalt.
