30's Monday, July 23.

<b>Mr Theia</b> - way awesome & conga-rats. I'm impressed and envious. Go <b>Theia</b>, go!<br><b>Solar</b> - LBI was awesome thanks, warm water 4 of 5 days, great surf for body surfing and I caught a few fluke from the surf. Cooked 'em up on the grill - very tasty. I'll be in touch (PM) when my trip is finalized in a few weeks.<br><b>Winter</b> - RE: your response yesterday - "<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Can we switch this around maybe? just for now? Nevermind...." - Standard response - you should know this - I'll need photographic evidence first!</span></span><br><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><b>Scratch</b> - how do you calc/estimate your VOmax? Online tool?</span></span><br><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><b>Baggs</b> - jeez, impressive mileage. How 'bout a day of rest?</span></span><br><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><b>QOD</b> - if female - I look at boobs first. Otherwise - level of effort and eye contact for a head nod/hello unless it's crowded or there is poor footing, then it's all about me.</span></span><br><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><b>NY</b> - cute pix. who's that behind the yoga child?<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"></span></span><br><br><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">I tweaked my neck yesterday while yawning. That led to a rotten night of sleep last night and it's killing me today - even post-Tylenol. I had plans for 5M at lunch but I don't think that the jogging motion will be all that comfortable. Pizzed.</span></span>

Thanks for the info. I am always looking for good movies. I have now started a google document with running movies that I want to check out.<br><br>
Well, there was a 5k & 10k here that had a total of about 8000 folks. It was the 30th annual, so that drew more people. I think last year it was only about 5-6000 for the 2 races. Yes, it was pretty crowded in places, but luckily for me, my pace was slow enough that dodging people didn't hurt my overall time by too much. I was happy to break 1hr last year. I'm hoping to reset that PR again in Nov.<br><br>
Allright!!! Another one hooked! Welcome! And very cool that your DH is going with you!<br><br>
See, that is why I don't like doing yard work. But, I need to mow the lawn tonight after work since we will be gone for a week. I'll probably talk DS#1 into doing it after I lower the wheels a bit (had to raise them up last week since 3 weeks had gone by w/o mowing). The cost of a DQ blizzard is worth having him mow the lawn. Plus, once I'm there, I'll get one for me too <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>

Both my DS's were big fans of Build-A-Bear for a long time. Then one day, they just stopped, first DS#1 and then a few months later #2. They gathered up all their animals, and accessories and divided them up into piles for their younger cousins and friends "Jack will like these." and "I think so-and-so will have fun with these." And with very little fanfare made each recipient feel special not that "I was gonna throw these away but maybe you'll like them" but rather "I really like this bear and think you will have fun with him." Very fun to watch how they handled it.
