<p>Hi KS!  Thanks for the translation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Way to git er done, TW!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got to the trailhead at just after dawn (7:30), only to find 6 cars and no runners in sight.  Drat... they left early again.  So headed out on my own for a 10 mile run up the river trail.  Cold at first as I forgot my gloves and the temps were around 5°C (that's 41°F for KS), but I warmed up fast and was even a bit overdressed in tights and SS shirt under a light LS one.  Met with 3 large groups of runners going the other way, including various friends, plus numerous hikers.  Pushed the pace a bit thru miles 5 to 8....felt wonderful.  A greta day for a run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone!</p>

<p>Hi KS TW Heme, & rip</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Way to rock n roll the ridgetop rip <span><img alt="icon_salut.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1322339143137_160" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif">...that's about my road time for a half marathon now (if I could even run that far)</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>coulda been worse TW....at least speedoboy didn't make an "appearance"</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice LR's Ks & Heme.....sorry to hear the rest of your group "ditched you", must of been some local clock setting glitch...but at least you had a nice run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7 miles in the foggy woods for me, nekkid again. 4°C at the start (that's 39°F Ks), followed by housecleaning x-training. Off to watch the Oregon-Oregon St game...for some reason they refer to it here as the "civil war"....doesn't make any sense, but then either does rock chalk jayhawk <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1322339143137_300" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>

<p>That was a good game if your're a Northerner (I don't have a dog in this fight).  Nice to see you getting some miles in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great racing, Rip and ks.  You make us Masters proud.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got in 5 M on the TM today, plus some time on the weight machines.  I have done three outdoors runs this week (no daily reports--sorry) , so I paid my cold-and-windy dues. I got the lawnmower winterized, the lawn chair stowed away in the shed, the bush rose protected from freezing--bring on Old Man Winter.</p>

 

[Johnny]

<p>Yes, again, where is HappyFeat?? Perhaps she didn't get the memo re: unexplained absences</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Honk Honk TW  nice run today....and your choir sounds good as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like FO, I got in some miles on the TM today (4 only) followed by some weights. Still haven't got up to a 20 mile week yet, but I should be able to pull that off soon. I just need the time to run 4 days.</p>

 

[HappyFeat]

<p>um Hi folks...not "gone" on purpose...first my posts kept vanishing and I didn't feel like retyping them, then there just hasn't been a "good time" to do any online visiting.</p>
<p>36 miles for me this week: 6-6-8-6-rest-10-rest/yoga ...a couple runs were complicated by low back pain (boo!) but I've taken it easy, iced, used Voltaren gel, and the 10-miler went ok yesterday.  Prolly should save this entry to avoid losing it and then add to it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>P.S. Johnny - vegetarian here too, though maybe for different reasons - do not miss eating turkey on Thanksgiving.</p>

 

[Baba O'Riley]

<p>Got some rare November mildness in New Hampster today. Fighting a cold, so I wore tights, even though the temp was a tad above my shorts threshold (45 degrees).</p>
<p>Five miles.</p>

 

[Johnny]

<p>Shake the tree & see who falls out <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1322442907115_160" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">   ........HF and Baba</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Baba...my shorts threshold has been raised considerably this year, from freezing in years past to 42°F. Nice to hear you're still running.</span> Don't be a stranger.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>HappyFeat....you had us all worried, glad you're back. No idea what you post on, but I just started using firefox instead of IE.......works like 1000% better on Kick.</span></p>

 

[ripvanracer]

<p>Nice you have a cheering section TW.  I have an occasional cow glance over at me when I run by.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Welcome back HF and Baba</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Weather turned miserable here to so I basically did nothing today.   My quads are still sore but I did go to the fitness center for an eliptical workout.  I eased into it the first half hour, went a little harder the second half hour and went real hard for 13 minutes.   Ended up with 14.3 eliptical miles in 73 minutes.</p>
<p>  </p>

 

[Hemerocallus]

<p>Glad to see you're still with us, HF!  Glad you're still running well.  I use Firefox also for Kick, with no issues.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yay, Baba's back!  Greta to see you, buddy!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi FO! </p>
<p>Hi Johnny!</p>
<p>One nice thing about being female....... there's that intermediate "capri" threshold level as well.</p>
<p>And sorry to tell you Johnny... no red Speedo run this year... the event is still happening, but I have company coming that day.  Maybe next year! <span><img alt="icon_santa.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1322451884768_160" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_santa.gif"></span></p>

 

[HappyFeat]

<p>I <span style="text-decoration:underline;">do</span> use Firefox; so I don't know...blame it on gremlins I guess.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>hmm yes the "capri" threshold - been wearing the knee length compression shorts regularly now for that very reason. Although last weekend's run  was so cold I ordered up some Brooks "extreme" cold weather running pants, rated for 30 and below. Naturally as soon as they arrived, it's been near 50 degrees. I may never get to wear them!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MTA rated for "30 and below" should read "40 and below" - I just double checked - guess I'll get some use out of them after all!</p>
