Patrick · Dec 24, 2007

Haven't run yet but will be heading out in a few minutes to meet up with the BOMF group for four easy miles through the streets of downtown philadelphia. we are mostly ready for christmas and i haven't wrapped a single present, my dw and dd2 took care of wrapping duties . . . they don't appreciate my less than perfect wrapping style. 
we will be having christmas dinner tonight and opening presents afterwards since we will be travelling tomorrow. 
Have a Blessed Christmas everyone

Good morning Patrick! 
I probably won't get on the computer today so, 
Merry Christmas Eve to everyone!! 
Enjoy your families!

Good Morning All, 
It's a beautiful day here in the Commonwealth - mid 30's , no wind, clear sky. Unfortunately however there's black ice EVERYWHERE, which made for a carpy run. 10K, 55:09 (8:53) was the best I could do and not fall flat on my face. 
Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all. May Santa bring you Garmins, socks, gels, and a pair of your favorite kicks! 
Mike

Good morning everyone, 
Thanks for starting us off this morning Patrick... 
A beautiful day to run here in the Carolinas...30F, clear with no wind. 
I'm in recovery mode this week and everything still feels a little stiff and achy but I know that it's just a matter of time till I'lll be feeling better. 
7.25 miles of hills @ 9:00 pace this morning (157AHR). 
Good runs & Merryl Christmas to all.

Cold and windy so I was in my basement again for 3 miles in 32:45. 
I don't care for my own wrapping of gifts. Maybe they'd turn out better 
if I didn't have the white merlot to assist. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
Good runs all.

hup · Dec 24, 2007

That Merlot adds style, no doubt <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> 
I have enlisted my teenage daughter to wrap in years past, but I wrapped my gifts to Mrs hup myself this weekend. My daughter did a much nicer job ... even back when she was 10 .... oh well. 
No run today but I am doing an hour of yin style yoga. I'm feeling great after my long run yesterday. It gives me a fairly good feeling about the marathon. 
I'm working today, then off for two weeks .... woohooo!

I have a terrible cold with a bad cough so I'm not going to do anything except rest. I feel like carp despite lots of rest, zicam, and fluids. Unfortunately we have to attend a party tonight so I'll try and get a nap after I get home from work today. Luckily I'm only working till 1pm.

Tramps · Dec 24, 2007

7.5 miles in IRC today. Beautiful ghostly white moon lighting everything up. 
I think I've decided to make RunningAHEAD my regular posting place. But there are so many great people here I'll certainly be visiting from time to time. I'll keep a cold one in the fridge for you over at RA; drop in anytime.

lyndenrunner · Dec 24, 2007

Another 5 easy ones today,8:25 pace...

Ralph had Veta on the leash and we walked to the park and then we walked around the 'hood until we got to where we had one mile to home. 
I ran. Thank God! I thought I would never run again but, I ran one mile today. 
Veta just had to run too, so Ralph had fun running with the mini-schnauzer. 
Whew. I am so happy that I didn't forget how to run. 
Patrick: I loved watching that piece on ABC about BOMF. Excellent. 
Riley: Please feel better soon. It's a drag being sick now. Have a good power nap. 
Pro: You are like some sort of PR machine. 
Hup: Yay! 
AnaT: Good basement running, did you watch TV or listen to music? 
Good running all y'all!

Dennis · Dec 24, 2007

I'm kicking myself for not running yesterday, but after 12 consecutive days, my legs needed a day off. I was hoping the gym was open today to do some running and raquetball, but I guess they closed all day. So, I'm heading out for a 5 mile town jog. 
A blessed Christmas to all.

rosecoloredglasses · Dec 24, 2007

Dennis, we are like Bizarro-people (ala Seinfeld) 
I spent the first 22 years of my life in NE Ohio, knowing all about Hinckley and pancakes and buzzards (remember WMMS, Home of The Buzzard?) 
Now I've been in SE Virginia for almost 22 years... 
(Ran the Shamrock Half once or twice) 
Rest days are good. Cross-training is good.

Rosie ran! Rosie ran! Yea!

hally · Dec 24, 2007

^5 to Rosie on her mile!! 
Thanks for that card MrsLab, and merry christmas to you too. 
At work, it's BORING hoping to get out early. May run later, maybe not. 
Nice full moon this morning on way to work.

riley0003 · Dec 24, 2007

Rosie! What great news! You must be feeling wonderful to be able to run again, but please increase in very slow increments. You don't want a set-back. 
I'm so happy for you. 
Susan

millbot · Dec 24, 2007

Hello, all. 
Mike, ^5 on staying upright. I hate black ice. 
Peter, how is your Achilles? Maybe I'm remembering wrong that your AT was grumpy. 
Hey a'tech, I hope it wasn't cold & windy in your basement. What is that in your avatar picture? 
I hope you enjoy your time off, hup. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
Nice PR, Pro. Being ignorant about swimming, I'll assume that's a good time. 
{{sick Susan}} 
Nice runs, Tramps & lynden & ROSIE! 
Wow, Dennis, 12 days huh? I'd need a day off too. 
hally, quit working already. 
0640 
36 F, IRC really

Merry Christmas, and safe travels to everyone who's doing that.
