<p>4M last night, FINALLY put me over the 1k mark for the year.  Rawr.  Wish it had been more, but 1k > 0, any day, right?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!</p>

In the lobby waiting for Starbucks to open. We're heading home today.<br><br>
Good luck kj!<br><br>
Moon and bard- all roads lead to effingham. I think there's a sign <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> glad you're almost home!<br><br>
Congrats on the year end totals. I haven't started logging again, so I'm not sure where I ended. I think I have already moved past 2011 in my mind!

 

[gatorbob]

<p>Congrats on 1k, <strong>Ailarie</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today will be my last swim of the year.  I've probably totalled about 10 miles since I started swimming in October.  Whooppee. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been to Effingham before!  My company has a vendor out there, and I went to visit their manufacturing facility once.  Kinda the middle of nowhere.  I've like visiting the middle of nowhere, but I wouldn't want to live there...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TGIF!  <span><img alt="banana.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1325253109472_160" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif" style="width:33px;height:35px;"></span></p>

<p>Morning. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 on the tm. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Errands  and stuff today, kindergarten tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tired.</p>

 

[katholeenie]

<p>I'm sitting on the step stool. Someone crawled under the step stool from behind me, so he could look up at me. Dork. (Kind of hard to see but half his body is under the stool.)</p>

<p>hiya peeps</p>
<p>4 last night</p>
<p>3 this morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For NYE - I would like to attempt to make alcoholic rice krispy treats.  So the legit stuff but spiked.  I have no idea how though.  Please discuss!</p>

 

[theia]

<p>Good morning.  <strong>Brandy</strong>, I have no idea how to help you.  Spike the butter before you melt the marshmellows?   <span><img alt="wink.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1325256844139_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Kath</strong>, I can't believe how big he is already.  He's going to be huge!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy vibes to <strong>Bard</strong> and <strong>Moon</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the year ended today, my totals would be:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>SWIM 56.1 miles</strong></p>
<p><strong>BIKE 1,348.1 miles</strong></p>
<p><strong>RUN 762.2 miles</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plus classes taught, weights lifted, yoga poses practiced, etc.  I'm doing something tomorrow, but I'm not sure what.  Most likely, I'll get my long run done tomorrow (10 miles), so the other totals will be unaffected.  If I hold off on my run until Sunday, the bike or swim total will increase.  Not too bad, overall.  I'm surprised the swim total isn't a little higher, but otherwise I'm pleased with the year. </p>

 

[Brandy]

<p>hmm...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>my initial thought was marshmallow flavored vodka added to the hot butter/fluff stuff.  I am concerned about stickage though.  A coworker suggested butterscotch schnapps too might be a good idea</p>

 

[theia]

<p>How porous are marshmallows?  Would soaking them in vodka or schnapps work? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or you could just insittute a rule that every Krispie has to be followed by a vodka chaser.  That would work too.  <span><img alt="smile.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1325259729450_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

 

[runningINnyc]

<p>Morning all!  Hoping to bust out of work early today and run in some daylight; my sleep is shit and I could use the pick-me-up.   <br>

That's exactly what I was about to suggest!</p>

<p><strong>Kris & Moonie</strong> - I've passed through Effingham a number of times, I would have blasted <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjJa7BYCiiA" target="_blank">this Ben Folds tune</a> while rolling into town</p>

 

[KP]

<p>30 minutes on the elliptical this morning.  The Y was way less crowded this morning than it was Wednesday afternoon.  Still amazed by some of the people there:  the guy on the TM to my right was there when I got there and was still going when I left, he was walking on the TM in flip flops.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No ideas <strong>Brandy</strong>...</p>

 

[solarpowered]

<p>I love homemade rice krispy treats.  I can never eat just one.  Throw some alcohol in there and I'd be a quick drunk <span><img alt="drunken_smilie.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1325263278066_170" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/drunken_smilie.gif" style="width:15px;height:27px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not sure of my NYE plans.  Nothing sounds interesting to me this year.  I really wanted to do a midnight run, but the Philly one got moved and seems to be having some issues, and the NYC one is one I'd want to get a group to go to.  Doesn't look like that's gonna happen this year.  So, plans are still up in the air.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Been finalizing reno plans.  Carried 23 boxes of flooring up into my condo the other day.  Each box was 48.5 lbs.  Good workout!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ran 12 miles this morning.  Just because. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll figure out yearly totals tomorrow  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yay for Bard and Moonie being almost home!  Yay for Oskar making himself comfortable in his new home! </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[eccabex]

<p>Mmmmmmm...I love rice krispie treats!!! I have no clue how to add alcohol to them, though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No clue what my yearly total will be. I went through a slump in the fall (as usual) and went a month with running, but not tracking. I can't imagine I was even close to 1000 miles. There's always 2012!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been enjoying my winter break. It's been very low key since we came back from pittsburgh. I'm digging it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Heading out for a run around 2 with my running partner. We were supposed to go at 3 different times yesterday, but it never happened. I  knew I should have just headed out first thing yesterday morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy runs and day!</p>
<p> </p>

<p><strong>Kath</strong>, do you always bring a camera up ladders with you?  <span><img alt="cool.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1325266217817_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p><strong>RIL</strong>'s Noles had another crappy game against another crappy team last night.  But again, they won.  I guess the Noles are the masters of winning ugly.  <span><img alt="cool.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1325266217817_414" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p><br>
We're thinking Kahlua or Bailey's or creme de cocoa or something like that mixed into the marshmallow mixture. Keep in mind, if you add the alcohol while the butter/marshmallows are melting/cooking, the quantity of alcohol will be reduced. (I want to say alcohol evaporates at 160 or 170°. It won't all be gone, it just won't be as potent.)</p>

<p>No. THat's my step stool thing. It has 2 steps and then the top step has a hinge in the middle. SO you can fold it back and have a 3rd step if you need the height, or you can unfold it and have a stool. My dad made it for me at my mom's request "because she's short."</p>

 

[katholeenie]

<p>Frangelico might be good in rice krispies too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[phdatc]

<p>Soak some of the rice krispies?</p>

 

[Brandy]

<p>soaking the krispies might be interesting</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to keep the flavor as legit as possible so no choc or other flavors are allowed </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like mine straight up!</p>

 

[katholeenie]

<p>everclear?</p>
