Wednesday was one of those hard runs that eventually got somewhat better. 45 minutes done. Cardio at home. Errands today.

Track run today after work. I think my sinuses have reinfected.

Happy runs, All!  :::HUGS:::

Hi Judy!

Julie,  isn't it exciting to sign up for a new race? !  I hope you find a great 10k to do.

Lisa, I just looked up Jacksonville on the map.  It's not actuallyas far NE in  Alabama as I thought. I don't know if you'll want to spend the time driving to Cloudland, which is near Lookout Mtn.  The hike  down into the Canyon is really great-waterfalls at the bottom, great rocks. It's not runnable (for me at least) with many steps down, but there are some other trails there-haven't done them. There is a Rock Creek trail series somewhere near there, but I'm not sure where.  However, it looks like your sis-in law is not too far from Sloppy Floyd State Park where Twisted Ankle  marathon takes place and the Pinhoti trail.  I've never been there, but I've read race reports-(Jason's?) that make it sound nice. Your sis-in-law probably has some ideas, too.  I can be pretty flexible if I don't have guests.

I need to do  5 today.  This cold is still hanging on. It's not bad at all, but won't go away. I had planned leave today to go to dau's this weekend (Tobacco rd) but I'll wait and decide if I'm going tomorrow. I feel OK to do the race, but would hate to give them the bug.

Rest day.   I actually woke up very early to run but realized that a rest day was a good idea.  I do need to take them some.  My hips were stiff yesterday so a rest day is a good thing.  At the airport now on my way home.

Camille pretty looking race.  I hope you get in.

Julie the weather does seem to be an odd thing in March.  It was in the 30's this am when I got up and I'm in Florida!  I  did have the appropriate gear as I stalk the weather app a lot and it was all laid out ready to go.  At least you had an indoor option to run,.  That is a good thing

Hi Laura and Judy

Hi ladies-

I'm still here! It's been so hectic, between kid stuff, work stuff, and appointments, that I haven't been reading the thread til late, and then I'm too tired to post!

I got out this morning for an easy-peasy 4 miles with a running buddy. My shins were frustratingly painful on yesterday's run, so we took it easy today and ran at the flat, unpaved par course. I race this weekend - a local 10K, and DS1 is doing the 5K.

Judy - bummer on the sinus infection. I've only ever had one, but it was miserable.

Julie - the Covered Bridge Run in Delhi is June 1. There is a 5K and a 10K. Just sayin'.

Camille - I hope you kick the cold! I've had the same thing - not very bad, but it just keeps hanging on.

Laura - I feel your pain with the multiple pickups - we're swinging into a spring season where all three boys are playing a sport. It will be a coordination challenge.

Marjorie - good that you recognized the need for a rest day. I'm taking a serious cutback week this week - I was feeling run down and a bit overtrained, so I think I needed it.

Crazysue - sending healing forum vibes your way. Are you sick, or is it allergies?

Lisa - I loved the NYC pics you posted!

Off to get some work done. My crazy client decided to make copy changes to their annual report AFTER it had gone to the printer, so we're scrambling to take care of that. Have a great day-

Happy Pi Day! There is homemade apple pie in my fridge if anyone is interested.

Tomatoes -- yum, but I have to grow them in containers, our squirrels and groundhogs eat everything they can.

Marjorie, that does sound more appealing, getting lighter so you see new things each time you go by. Though that might backfire as you wonder "how close did I come to that snake/gator/dead skunk/disgusting mess the first time I did the loop?"

4.3 with running neighbour this morning, it's her last running day before LAM. Glad I'm not doing it. 90 degrees and no shade forecast for Sunday. Sorry Damaris, though as a Floridan you should be used to heat and at least we don't have that much humidity.

Camille, have you ever entered Twisted Ankle? The RD posts on runango.

I did my 5.5-laps around a short, flat park trail.   Obviously didn't get my garmin stop button pushed hard enough and it tracked the miles in the car.  It's one way to look speedy.  : )

Marjorie, it was 20's here this am in NGA mtns. Not what people expect to hear, but it's not that uncommon.  Sunny afternoon though. Glad you took a rest day if you needed it.

Tessa, I haven't done Twisted Ankle.  I like to be home by then, though with parents, tornado one year and now DD's wedding, I seem to be staying longer and returning sooner. I looked at site this morning when I was writing Lisa and am thinking about the half.  I think the full could be misery that time of year with humidity, plus I'm just not in shape for a hard trail full.  The pics look good though.  : )  BTW,  chuckling at the comment about the snake/gator/skunk.  : )

Demaris, good luck on LA!  Hope it isn't as hot as predicted!

Laura, hope if you get to run, it's not so windy.  It was still very breezy here, but not as bad as yesterday.

Sue, haven't you been sick for while?  Did you get a secondary infection like a bronchitis or sinus infection that might need AB's. My DB and SIL both got very sick and are better finally after AB's.

Cindy, good luck getting that project done!  Good luck on the 10k!

AnnieSusan, I'd love your feeder!  Good for you for the cross training. I do too little of it.

Karen, sure hope you feel better after a day off.  The easy run sounds like a good idea.

I think I will go to DD's tomorrow.  I feel pretty good this afternoon.

Ginny-ahhh now we understand why you have always been so wise... hope that doesn't change.

Camille-love the tracking of time in car.  LOL

Alas, no pie for me today.  I was strong.

Slept in this morning.
