Tuesday I did a  light, easy 45 minute track run...no speed work...honest! I was sore from doing fast, high knee lifts in my cardio DVD the day before. I added about 20 minutes of the cardio DVD I am testing when I got home.
Today may be another cardio DVD I'm trying or a quick trip to the track, not sure. I have some shopping to do after supper.
Happy runs, All! :::HUGS:::

Quick note-busy day ahead.

Wed weigh in-no change again!  I've really cut back on the junk and thought that would do it. Obviously not, so will change meals, too.

I didn't run yesterday (refrain of the past week, WTH?), but have an appt in town, so will definitely go afterwards. Esp since Karen is setting such a high bar for us!  : )

Hi, Judy.

Laura, thanks for info. I'll wait to send note.

Carolyn, no sun here, but it's not raining either.

Julie, sounds like a great class! Glad your hip is better.

Karen, what a iron woman you are!  An ultra, then speedwork?  I'm feeling like a real slacker after reading that-it's what I need.

Lisa, we don't celebrate sweetest day, but it sure sounds like a nice idea.  Timing seems a little close to Halloween though.

Hi to everyone else.

Good mornin ladies.

I took a RD, yesterday.  Today, I will run in the afternoon.  I had hoped for 150 miles this month, but I don't think it will happen.  Oh well.

Camille:  I've had the last couple of Mondays off.  I have next Monday off, too.  That is why I've been able to post more during the week.  Thank you for noticing!

Cindy:  My youngest is doing Battle of the Books, but he hasn't mentioned any practices.  Humm.

Back to the office today. The good news is everyone else is still out there so it's nice and quiet. Boss won't fly back until Friday, then Monday we actually get President's Day off (this is the only place I've ever worked that we get this day off, and it's the only "pretend" holiday we get, so it is such a treat to get it because I always forget about it), I work Tuesday and Wednesday, then am taking Thursday through the following Monday off to go to NC for Mt Mitchell. Man, did THAT come up quick!

Aww camille, thanks. Today is a rest day, and I most definitely plan to rest. I don't know what's gotten into me, but yes, in 2013 I've become pretty driven. I think it's because my job kinda sucks, and my running has been going so well, so I'm throwing my energy into running.

Carolyn, I totally get how this weather could cause motivation to drop. A few years back when we had snowmaggedon I don't think I ran for a week. We're usually just far enough south that snow doesn't last for more than a day or two. Plus I've gotten a TM in the basement since then, which helps.

Cindy and Linda, Battle of the Books sounds like something I would have enjoyed as a kid. Good for both of your boys to be involved.

Hi to all. I was so good on the way out to AZ with keeping hydrated, but not so good on the way back. Then to add a workout on top of that.....I woke up this morning with a migraine. So need to get through what I can at work before heading home and back to bed.

Still raining here even though the weather man says it was supposed to stop at 6 am.  I got wet on my run and it has rained during all my travel to all the centers so far today.  I did 10.2 miles on my favorite hilly route in ATL

Carolyn I agree I thought I'd get hit today and I was on the sidewalk!  Some people are really close to the curb when they are driving that is for sure.  There were also some kids waiting for a bus and they didn't want to move.  They saw me and I said excuse me while I was well away and they heard me but ignored me.  I pushed my way through them.  I wasn't stopping as i was on a down hill and going at a good clip for me.  No one got hurt and they were just being jerks.  I wasn't amused.

Camille no change is better than a gain so there is that.

hey Linda and Cindy and Judy

Damaris I would rather have the hot and humid versus cold and rain that I had today.  It wasn't that cold being in the 40's but the rain mist and dark made it seem colder.

Ginny sorry on the bad run!

I got in 6.5 decent miles this morning. I got misted on just enough to be damp.

Karen - sorry about the migraine!

Carolyn - I would have a hard time maintaining my running in the winter if I didn't live in such a moderate climate.

Marjorie - what rude kids! I hope I never catch my boys behaving that way.

Ginny - hang in there. I know it's so discouraging when you have a string of bad runs.

Tessa - Battle of the Books is a system-wide competition (and you can also choose to compete at the state level). Kids read a list of books, then compete in a quiz-show type format. The team is made up of 4th and 5th graders, and I'm coaching the 4th graders. I'm proud of my focus-challenged DS - he's doing really well!

I need to go write - I keep putting it off since it's the part of my job that comes the hardest for me. Hi to everyone I missed-

Tessa I'm surprised they weren't scraping their tires on the curb.  It was very close  I could have touched a bunch of the cars and trucks.  Some were fine but those that were so close it was weird.

Cindy I'm sure your kids know better!
