Hi folks. Got up and did a 8M tempo run. In a word, meh. But the weather is great here too.<br><br><b>Prayers sent</b> for the ailing folks.

 

<b>Frankie</b> Sorry to hear about you FIL's woes {{{}}} for him.<br><br><b>Maureen:</b> It's really too bad that you can't get paid doing what you love to do. Did you ever think of a theatrical career switch? It could work, no?<br><br><b>QOD</b>: If you could change one event in time, either for yourself or others, what would it be?<br><br>
and if you don't like that one<br>
How about<br><br><b>QOD</b>: Fries or Mashed Potatoes with that?

 

<b>QODWaydeep:</b> This is a hard one. Maybe the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Although, probably something else would have set it off.<br><br><b>QODfoodrelated(yum):</b> usually fries

 

<b>QOD part 1</b>: I wouldn't have let my grandfather go icefishing that day. He drowned when my mother was 5. (there are so many answers I could give to that question, but that's a little less selfish one plus I can't face some of the other answers.)<br><br><b>QOD part 2</b>: mashed. Always.

 

<b>{{Maureen}} <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad"></b>

 

I love taters. Mashed, baked, boiled, fried, deep-fried. But deep-fried is toughest to handle cuz of all the fat, so I'll favor the mashed.

 

Good Morning<br><b>{{Frankie's FIL}}</b><br><br><b>QOD #1</b> I would have bought lake front property when I first moved to TC.<br><br><b>QOD #2</b> Fries<br><br><b>Maureen</b> you are amazing. Great costumes.<br><br>
I have been running for 7 weeks now.....a weight loss do you suppose? No, of course not, a weight gain. The scale is on its way to the garbage can.

 

<br>
That happened to me! don't worry. Your body is changing fat to muscle. It weighs more. Keep at it. You'll see a change before you know it. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

Good morning!<br><br>
Tired like no other this morning. In my dear <b>KP's</b> words over breakfast: "You look like if you stop chewing you will fall asleep"<br><br>
5 yesterday and some swimming today. Yawn.

 

I try to convince myself of that very thing. I will keep going, already looking for the next challenge. Any ideas?

 

<br>
Runningwise or in an other way?

 

I have been running 40 mpw+ for 9 months and I have gained 8 lbs. Not too unusual. I hate the scale.

 

Hey all:<br><br>
4 easy last night. Pretty sore in the calves and the quads from the race. Probably more sore today than I was yesterday, but the legs seemed happy to get out for some easy miles. I think I'm going to enjoy a down week or two, then make some plans for the rest of the fall.<br><br>
Any of you New York peeps ever run the <a href="http://www.cortlandsports.org/aboutus/peeper_reg.html" target="_blank">Leaf Peeper HM in Cortland</a>? I was looking for something before Philly and saw that last night. It's got a cool name if nothing else.<br><br><b>Frankie</b> - thinking about your FIL<br><br><b>Voo</b> - hope you are enjoying your trip<br><br><b>Solar</b> - it's got to be a tossup. KR / 12 year olds. We have a lot in common.<br><br><b>Beaker</b> - sorry you had to see that in person. At least I could go to sleep in the 3rd quarter.

Runningwise for now. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

 

<b>Beaker</b> don't worry, your Eagles play the Lions on Sunday. I am certain the Eagles will win. The QB for the Lions has issues throwing it to the right team late in the game.

 

What's up 30s?<br><br>
We went to Benihana's on Friday for dh's birthday with a group of friends. Can I just say that I forgot how tasty the food is there? Yum. I'm sure it has something to do with the loads of garlic butter they put on EVERYTHING. Hmmm. I am officially rejoining Weight Watchers today.<br><br>
Add me to the group of higher mileage equaling a weight gain!! WTF?<br><br>
Anywho, the cooler temps have been good to me this last week. I've been much more comfortable on my runs and a touch speedier.<br><br>
Good thoughts and prayers out to all those that need them. I love reading all of the race reports, they are getting me geeked up!<br><br>
Good Tuesday everyone.

 

<b>QOD</b> I'm with <b>Scratch</b> on this one. Me luvs some taters. I'll eat potatoes most ways you prepare them. But I favor fries over mashed taters- slightly.<br><br><b>Startingover</b> respect <b>Winter's</b> advice! I have been going through c25k and am now on ohr and have not lost an ounce. I was perplexed by that lack of weight loss. Yet I have started to get two or three compliments that I have lost weight..... that thew me for a loop. Then I discovered that I lost about an inch around the waist and my upper body is more firm. I think I have lost some weight there and my legs are looking better than they ever have- so I am thinking there is more muscle weight there (to offset the loss in my upper body).<br><br>
Moral of the story- listen to <b>Winter</b>. heheh

 

<br>
Sorry, early morning...... I misread that to say "I have been running <b>40 MPH</b> for 9 months and I have gained 8 lbs...."<br><br>
I was about to say "gosh what program is that?! You are flying!"<br><br>
(rubs weary, still sleepy eyes)

 

<b>QOD pt. A</b> - Way too deep for my feeble mind at this point...<br><br><b>QOD pt. B</b> - Fried, which is unfortunate for my butt n' thighs <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad"> However goat cheese and chives added to mashed potatoes makes for a tasty dish!!!<br><br><b>StartingOver</b> - Don't worry about the scale, I can run 15 miles/week or 70 miles/week and that number will.not.change. I go by energy levels and how my clothing fits. Keep up the great work!!!<br><br><b>P-Tom</b> - that part of NY is a bit too far from me to know anything ...T-Rev might know more. If you're looking for a tune-up to Philly, the <a href="http://nyrr.org/races/2007/grandprix/si_reg.asp" target="_blank">Staten Island HM</a> is that same weekend. Nice race and not as crowded as those based in Manhattan.

 

How do your clothes fit? How do you feel (before you knew the #s)?<br><br>
Do not know anything about that one, but I know that there is a HM in Ridgefield CT on 10/7 that was my goal race before my back derailed my running, and there is Hartford on the following weekend, and CoachT has been looking for someone to play with there (I have other stuff going on).<br><br>
When did Drew Bledsoe sign with the Lions???

 

Funny title for an article.<br><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/healthmain.html?in_article_id=482202&in_page_id=1774" target="_blank">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1774</a>

 

<b>QOD1</b>:Except for a few regrettable personal decisions, not a thing.<br><br><b>QOD2</b>: Could you have the chef deep fry the mashed potatoes and then put gravy on them? Thanks.

 

<br>
Sure anything for you. Would you like a side order of heart attack along with that, sir?

 

My clothes are looser. My jeans look like something my 14 year old wears. He really likes the saggy/baggy look. I have way more energy than what I did 7 weeks ago. Both are positive things. I need not to focus on the number of the scale. I also need to tell my Dr not to focus on the number at my next appointment.<br><br>
Drew Bledsoe didn't sign with the Lions. They have someone worse....John Kitna. I tell my hubby the Lions receivers need to wear Xmas lights on their jerseys late in the game so Kitna knows who to throw to. The poor man likes the Lions.....provides endless entertainment for me.

 

hard to swim when you leave your bag with swimsuit, cap, goggles, etc at home. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">
