30s Weekend Stylings 8/18-8/19

Lovely run today. I do enjoy 60*. (Gus does too, compared to what it's been. Ran me <i>hard</i>. heh.)<br><br><b>Type</b> - This is a hard one. <i>I used to say no hair longer than mine, but now they'd have to be about bald for it to be shorter. So that's out.</i> <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"> Tall, dark hair, smart (with common sense), funny, likes dogs, non smoker, handy, likes to learn new things, secure enough to give me space, doesn't mind going to artsy/cultural stuff.<br><br>
DH fits all of that except the tall part (he is only 3 inches taller than me. But he doens't mind when I wear heels and am slightly taller than him) and he has light brown hair. He can be chatty or quiet (like me), likes to build stuff, loves to cook (and bonus, he looks at my food issues as an adventure).<br><br>
I'd love it if he was into some sort of exercise, but heck. 9 out of 10 isn't bad. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

<b>Maples</b> nice work. What ya got planned next?<br><br><b>Ptom</b> - excellent work. Hope the pie is tasty.<br><br><b>Korbel</b> - no idea if the decision has been made but I'd do it, and like Bob said it will be a great story. And running a race in a jacket even if it keeps you dry from the rain you'll be soaked from the sweat.<br><br><b>Kath</b> - let us know about the PBS thing. And DH is only 3" taller than you? Had him pictured much different.<br><br><b>Mandy</b> - hope the toe gets better, and count me in with the others as being excited for the kids in your class. Keep us informed.<br><br>
No morning repsonsibilities at work today so I slept in a bit and then got my 7 miles in (beautiful weather here in MI as well!) before I have to be at a scrimmage this afternoon then we're off to a thing at one of <b>Tonya's</b> co-workers tonight.<br><br>
Speaking of runs I'm not sure if it's the consistency lately (been over 30 miles a week like 5 out the last 6 weeks) or the small amount of weight I managed to shed but east runs really have been easy and at a significantly faster pace (like 10:30/mile vs 11:20/mile). Just really feeling good about all this and feeling good about a chance for a PR in Oct. Plus <b>Tony</b>a is actually considering Philly.

Wooo hooo... back home from a spectacular 22 miler in New Brunswick this morning. The weather was/is AMAZING and having Kruss as a running partner was the best friggin' thing that could have happened to me. Plus, I didn't have to deal with a Fuel Belt or a strap-on ...our route had us clover-leaving (?) out-and-back towards our cars for drinks at various points. HR stayed down, legs stayed strong and when Kruss finished with 20 I knocked out those last two at 8:06 and 8:22. You really can't ask for a better LR folks - <b>thanks for the vibes!!</b><br><br>
Congrats on completing C25K <b>Maples</b>!! And a big pie-in-face to <b>Tom</b> for his sweet 5K skillz - them youngins are always after you aren't they? Great job man!<br><br><b>Kathleen</b> - love the chicken carcass hat!!! Cutest drummies ever.<br><br>
So I'm on a bit of a high right now and feel like I should go out and celebrate or something. Too bad my legs aren't feeling exactly the same. Planning to rest up a bit before heading back to NJ tonight to catch Beckham's debut on the East Coast as a Galaxy player.<br><br>
Good days to you all! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/hello2.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="hello1">

<b>Congrats Maples, Korbel, Maria and PTom!</b> Great work you guys.<br><br><b>Kath</b>, we'll definitely have to try to make that happen.<br><br>
I'm bummed right now. I was going and try to pace Hippo for the last 18 miles of his 100k today, but when I woke up I was having an attack that i think stems from my undiagnosed (but I'm going to get tested soon) Celiac disease. Like a dummy I ate some pizza, and I'm really paying the price this morning.<br><br>
I think I can still manage to get up there and in to one of the aid stations to at least give him some cheering support. If I feel stabilized enough, Porter and I will head out in a little while and make the 70 mile drive up into the mountains.<br><br>
DW and I mark our 13th anniversary today, but we're celebrating later this week. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

Hi everyone-<br><br>
Way to rock the 20-milers this morning <b>Tim</b> and <b>Maria</b> (+2M for good measure!). You're totally going to rock Chi-town, <b>Fast Maria P</b>.<br><br>
Congrats on finishing C25K <b>Maples</b>! You really persevered through all your knee issues and did yourself (and us) proud.<br><br>
Nice 5K <b>PieTom</b>!<br><br>
Feel better <b>Professor Craney</b>!<br><br>
Good race <b>Korbel</b>!<br><br>
I got out for 14M this morning around dawn. That's a new distance PB for me, and my first 2hr+ run. I started off really uncomfortable, and I was slower than I had hoped, but I got stronger throughout the run and felt pretty good when I finished. It was HOT out there this morning, with temps in the mid-80s. At least it's dried out some (dewpoint right around 60*). My HM split was 2:07:45 this morning, not that that means anything.<br><br>
I've got <i>The Empire Strikes Back</i> on right now. The chance of me staying awake through the whole thing is basically zero. ZZZZzzzzz<span style="font-size:xx-small;">zzzzz...</span>

Hello!<br><br>
Trying to wake up from my nap. This is tough! Anyway, I did the body pump class. Pretty cool. Just a few things I can't do (push ups/tricep dips on the edge of the step). Just don't have the upper body strength for those moves. She included about 15 mins of abs at the end. I have a feeling that it will be painful to breathe tomorrow! I got on the TM for 4. Forgot to start the nike+ until after a mile in (@#$!) so I ended up doing 5 with .5 walk added on at the end. Since I'm doing an online nike+ challenge, I had to get the extra miles!! Gave a few extra points for my VRAA team I guess. Tomorrow: 7.5 mi LR outside then to the gym to meet my friend again but for yoga!! (See, Jen? Inspired!) This will be her first time doing yoga. Should be fun.<br><br>
Congrats <b>Ptom, Maria, Scratch, Crane, Bob and everyone</b> on great races and runs! Woohoo!<br><br>
Ok.. time to start getting ready for drinkin'! Hehe... And I should point out, this is not an official class put on by Taco Mac. We are creating our own, but they do have some beer tasting club! It's called the <a href="http://tacomac.com/" target="_blank">Passport Club</a>! This should be fun....<br><br>
Ok, happy Saturdays!
