4 hours, 5 boxes of donations and 2 bags of garbage...DONE!!  Now, on to the rest of the house (at some point LOL).

Sandy - glad you had such a great run!!  Maybe my work stress will translate into some great running, it worked during my divorce lol!  Yes, he is a deer hunter.  I am going to admit I am disappointed because he took the entire week off of work and was going to 'camp' with his dad.  Last year I got SO much accomplished when he was gone, I painted and cleaned the entire kitchen.  Well, his dad backed out due to work conflicts so BF is hunting, but just here and there.  Ugh, I have a hard time getting anything done when he is home and he like NEVER goes away overnight.  I don't get it, I'm not that interesting to hang around with lol.  I shouldn't complain but its annoying, he's been in and out of the bedroom all afternoon and driving me NUTS!  Guess I can never retire !!

Karen - Awesome job today, glad you had a great race and a fun time!!

Damaris -  wowza, 18 on the TM  GREAT job!!

Yay Karen and Lizzie and Damaris and all the other racers! Nice work.

Wiped out. Dallas may be only 2 hours ahead but it makes a difference.

It's been cleaning weekend here. Ringworm (probably from the foster kittens): DD and I both have it and so do two of our adult cats. Antifungal cream all round. Gwen and Hrhiow are not happy about cream on their ears. DD is very unhappy about ringworm since she has a phobia about parasites. And the foster kit who died tested positive for panleuk, so the front bathroom has been scrubbed with bleach and hot soapy water and then sprayed with alcohol. We won't foster again until next year. That virus is very nasty and tenacious and it's usually fatal in young kittens.

Running: 4 each day in Dallas, 4 yesterday afternoon, and 6 this morning. Still on the fence about the 50K next Saturday.

Here goes nothing at catching up with personals!

15.7 yesterday on the Poto trail with David and Katie like old times. Me leading us like usual.  13:17 overall pace for Poto not usual but I will take it thank you very much. Felt great!

Last night was a fun event with old college room-mate and new friends at a Veteran's Day event.  Was cocktail dress with small tours by museum director of the Yankee Air Museum. Really a nice event with great conversation and lots learned. One might even call it riveting.

6 more trail miles today in low 30's and rain. Came around a turn and stopped dead in my tracks.  Well not as good at it as this guy. had to climb over the tree to get around him. Kept saying "Oh my. I don't see any animal here. I'll just walk through the woods instead of the trail. Nope, no animal around here." No movement from it or reaction.  Sort of like that good looking lady I befriended last night at the event.

Turtles-I remember sleepovers.. you would think they would sleep late but nope.

Elina-So cool that DH brought K to watch you. woot for your endurance paying off! LOL on the part of the game your FIL caught on his phone.

Diane-cinnamon rolls... yum! Would be great if you could swing Houston for the 50k or 20 miler in January. How was the movie?

Laura-sorry about the work conflict and drama. Yeah for the good run though!

Damaris-ugh on the early wake up call from the cats! Too funny about Fiona the hippo and your husband. Love the pics! I just can't fathom 18 miles on a treadmill. Its been months since I've even done a single mile on one. More power to you girl!

Huron-the scavenger hunt sounds fun with the 80's theme. I'm sure that the prizes were really awesome too and worth fighting over... maybe a Walkman? Good luck on the car search.  Trail buddy is actually renting a car. She said that at $80/week with the 5th week free, insurance covered, all maintenance covered, and the ability to get a new car when she wants.. it makes more sense then leasing one. Pretty hilarious but the numbers work for her.

Kat-Christmas clothes for the pups? where are the pics?

Karen-it is still weird with the morning daylight but i know it won't last long. That sounds like one amazing pre-race pizza! Congrats on the awesome half! the pizza worked! "if you think you're going to throw up I'm happy"... you can already picture the look I'd be giving you, right? LOL But wtg on helping them finish strong.. did they actually throw up on you?

Lizzie-Yeah for the race feeling easy!!! And woohoo on crushing that goal and eating the cake!

Half Crazy-nice job on the 10!

Sandy-potato soup after a long cold run sounds about perfect! Nice miles for you! I don't like cooking bacon either. the way the house smells with the grease.. yuck.

Tessa-Ugh on the ringworm. Will be tough to run that 50k next Saturday from your spot on the fence. :-)

Miss you all!

Q for the ladies.

I am trying to post a pic of my poor pooch in her Christmas apparel.  Is there an easier way than the pinned post from 3 yrs ago??  I am on a Mac and having a helluva difficult time.   In the tiny.pic way my photo is sideways.  And it seem that the only other way is to have to post on FB and then copy it???

Admittedly, I am technologically challenged.

TIA
