Tuesday Slackers (Read 16 times)

    Are we all slacking today? Or just out running so much that we haven't had a chance to post? Well, count me in for the former. I'm now working up a plan C as my two previous plans have failed. Did get out to the gym yesterday as I couldn't take another day of running in the rain. And I needed to do some strengthwork.

     

    qotd: Favorite fall treat? Mine is apple pie (or crisp) made with apples fresh from the orchard. We have a crate of apples and this might be tomorrow's baking.

    Are we there, yet?

      I've just finally caught up on a weekend's worth of RA and FB posts and my email. Should have my RR for NC 24 ready later today.

       

      qotd: Can't really think of any special treats found only in Fall that I would classify as favorites.

        Definitely slacking around here.  I did get in 5 indoor track miles last night as DD had volleyball practice.  It was fun weaving in and out of people who don't seem to know how to walk the same way.  I plan on getting in something tonight.  Distance and place tbd.

         

        George - congrats again.  I saw the winner ran a ridiculous 160 miles.  Wow! 

        I hope the queen is recouping ok.

         

        QOTD: Good timing as my boss brought in apple crisp, freshly made this morning, for our department. So good.  I like a good apple pie too.  I like the apples soft, not the crunchy apple pies.

         

        Have a great day!

        My favorite day of the week is RUNday

          The winner in my AG ran 100.731, though that's a little short of the 110+ that the winner of my AG ran last year.

          I lost my rama

            I'm hoping to get out for 6 or 7 tonight.  There's still some lingering t-storms in the area though, so there's opportunity for slacking.

             

            QOTD:  They arrive early in fall, but I love the local corn upstate.  We go to the farm to get them.  Tomatoes are really good too, but the season for them is near over.

            6/29 - Forbidden Forest 30 Hour

              <---- Major slack right there

               

              QOTD: PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE!  Okay, just kidding.  I figured someone had to say it!  Although I do tend to get one per year, just to satisfy the basic white girl in me.  Real answer...apple cider donuts while apple picking.  Guess I should go do that by myself this year.  Ugh.

              Running is dumb.

                Totally slacking today.  No run...feeling pretty good.  Have to drive 5 hours for work today and than a meeting tomorrow.

                 

                QOTD:  Apple pie is a good one.  Our tree did not produce anything this year..  It has a diseases.  I did pick a Chinese pear off our tree and it was out of this world good!!

                    Raining here again. Enough already. Someone sign me up for Indian summer.

                     

                    Ran last night, 6 miles, my usual route on the local trail. Went round and round and had a decent time for the loop despite some odd aches in my knees when I started. I told them to go away and they did. Today, just gym stuff so far. Not too motivated for a run as I am sick of grey and rain but I will likely do something short after work. Usually makes me feel better.

                     

                    QOTD: I would like some of your apple crisp! Not a big baker here, nor is my wife. I am now transitioning back to apples on my oatmeal instead of nectarines, so there is that.

                    In dog beers, I've only had one.

                      I'll do 3 mi after work today.  I need to concentrate on a slacker pace.

                       

                      QoN - you earned slacker status for about a week!!!

                       

                      qotd:  McIntosh apples.  They bruise easily so they don't travel well and we can't get them down here.  But when I lived in northern NJ we used to go apple picking all the time.  Miss those macs.

                        Taking a TURD today.  One of those tired days where I can barely get up. First one like this in over 3 weeks. Thought I was done with this shit, but had a sore neck yesterday, and that's usually the warning that a bad day is coming.

                         

                        Oh yea, Pumpkin-In-Everything-Season is here. Truest meme ever!

                         

                        QOTD:  Local apple harvest is underway, and I live in Apple Country USA.  Pippins are being picked now.  This weekend is Pippinfest down the road in Fairfield, PA. Next weekend is the National Apple Harvest Festival, about 1 mile away from us, and the weened after that is Colorfest in Thurmont, MD (near the Catoctin 50k course).  I like apple pie, apple crisp and apple cider.  I'm sure in 3 weeks I'll be sick of them.

                        “Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!

                          I ran a little loop this morning, sticking to the gravel roads. It is super muddy on the trail, and this is a bad time for snakes.

                           

                          Warden: That is awesome!! I can hardly wait to hear about the hunt.

                           

                          QOTD: Apple pie!!!

                            Slacking here. Picking up pizza to take home for our dinner. I may run later, but I am sore from yesterday. I made a solid effort to run fast-for-me...and now I hurt.

                             

                            QOTD: apples and any treat to be made with them...or just all by themselves...with caramel.
