Friday 12-28 Runs and Raves

hally · Dec 28, 2007

Hey gang, didn't run yet but I wanted to say a few things. 
Sorry about the mess I made of yesterday's daily. Several people were talking about how it would be good to make a new thread out of some of the discussions and Millbot PM'ed me about it. I screwed it up, where it said copy thread it actually moved them (I think). Anyway.... 
It would be so much more beneficial to us all if good discussions were moved to a new thread as some folks just don't wade through every post on the daily and miss a lot of really good information. 
There is a new forum for MultiSport!! So check that out, thanks Rich! 
And you may have noticed an ad for RoadID, if you go to the site from that link it generates revenue for this site. I have one, do you? 
Happy last Friday of 07

Mine opened a new tab. I have Tab Mix Plus but it looks pretty simple to set it to new tab in FF options. 
WTG on those 1800 jjj!!!

Good morning everyone, 
JJJ, nice going on the mileage... 
Perfect running weather here in the Carolinas 49F, no wind... 
10.2 miles of hills @ 9:05 pace....wonderful run & first 10 miler since my marathon. 
Good runs to all today.

irunmike · Dec 28, 2007

Good morning Boomers! 
Hally, I guess you're right - whatever went on yesterday I totally missed. 
JJJ - great milestone reaching 1800. 
Does roadid do anything more than what my driver's license does. I carry that on my long runs. 
Oh yeah, running - beautiful day today, low 30's clear sky. I made up a route (gotta love Garmin) that ended up being 6.6 miles (56:11 8:31 pace). 
Good runs all, 
Mike

hally · Dec 28, 2007

Does your license have your emergency contact information, blood type, known allergies or medical conditions on it? 
No, I didn't think so <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

Caddisfli · Dec 28, 2007

I have one Hally and wear it religiously. When I drop with exhaustion I want my remains to make it back home efficiently <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> 
No run yet but I will get to it eventually. We are probably taking the girls to a movie today. 
Nice mileage for the year JJJ! 
Check back later,

Good morning. 
Rough night last night. Most nights I sleep like a rock but once in a blue moon, I don't. Hate that. 
I felt like I'd slipped into the Twilight Thread Zone yesterday. Hally, behave yourself today! 
I never run with ID but I keep meaning to get one of those roadid things. Congrats on the 1800 miles TripleJay. 
Rest day for me. Starting to get nervous about the 108 sun salutes on NY's Day. It's going to be brutal. (note to self: don't think about it - just remember to breath).

ksrunr · Dec 28, 2007

Chooves - what is this 108 sun salutes that you speak of? 
JJJ - nice mileage. The wimmins will need a pic of that kilt fer sure 
Hellooooooooooo Hallyyyyyyyyyyyy

tomwhite · Dec 28, 2007

.....never bend over to turn on a dishwasher//......I got a familiar JOLT of electric nerve pain yesterday, 
following by my Old Friend Mr Muscle Spasm...... 
.....spent the day looking at a mirror 
to make sure my belt loop was level, 
and doing the Palms Facing Exercise for ''Neutral Spine Alignment"".. 
THE GOOD NEWS///......it worked......the pain is almost gone today..... 
THE BAD NEWS//......I am going to be a Zealot on Dr Bookspan for a couple of more months, 
and see if I can marry her (if Pickles will let me) 
Sigourney Weaver has Never done Anything 
to help my back......I guess I'll have to tell her it's Over..... 
......good running guys........Enjoy the Gift......

runinbehind · Dec 28, 2007

TW, sorry about "da back". I have similar issues from time to time; it sucks. 
JJJ, that's some awesome mileage! Now, stay healthy in 2008. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
I ran 4 miles on the TM this morning. I've been having some of the old hip bursitis tenderness lately, so am keeping things easy and fairly short. Oh, and I'm icing a lot; it's amazing how much that helps. 
I gotta go to work for a little while this morning...good day all.

millbot · Dec 28, 2007

Hey JJJ, at first I thought, "1800 meters, what's the big deal?" <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> Congratulations! 
Good runs Peter (welcome back to double digits), Mike, ksrunr (nice pace for a long run!), Marie. 
Oooh, sorry about your back, tomwhite. There are some small towns in the west where polygamy is overlooked. 
I run with RoadID too. 
0605 
19 F, "felt like" -1 F 
9 easy miles 
Happy Friday!

lyndenrunner · Dec 28, 2007

Thanks for the reminder Hally about the RoadID...Last year when I was doing my long runs I wanted to order one,but forgot... 
5 miles in 3 inches of slush made it a slow go this morning...8:41 pace.

TheProFromDover · Dec 28, 2007

Why am I always wondering what the heck is going on? 
Good job with the 17 though. What is the race? (I should probably know.) 
Nevermind I went and looked it up! Disney! Good luck!

Dennis · Dec 28, 2007

I never run without roadid. With my families heart history, I think it's essential. 
With JJJ posting his yearly milage, I think a thread next week on our 2007 miles would be interesting. Not for comparison, but to sum it all up, and see just how many miles this group ran in 2007.

riley0003 · Dec 28, 2007

Good morning to you all. Congrats, JJJ on the excellent cumulative distance! I'm incredibly impressed. 
This is the first morning in over a week that I've woken up not feeling like total carp. So, despite lots of productive coughing, I took the dynamic duo on a 1 mile walk today and now we're all feeling better. Of course, it might have something to do with the antibiotics & the fact that I slept a total of 12 (yes, really) hours yesterday! In a few mins we're going to attack the house and get it cleaned up for the big birthday bash tomorrow. We have about 30 people coming, which means I need to take down the tree to make sure there's enough room for all of them. I think I'll leave up the rest of the decorations though. 
DS took my car yesterday afternoon and still hasn't returned. He lives in Centre City Montreal and doesn't have his own car, so he's thrilled when he comes "home" and gets to drive my sporty little 5-speed. Hopefully he & the car will get home in one piece sometime today so he can help us clean. I haven't done any cleaning in a week and the house looks awful. 
Beautiful sunny day here in NY, with temps about 45. It's a bit swampy with the melted snow but the dogs don't mind. I'll take them for another long walk later this afternoon. Wish I could run but that would be pushing it. Next week will be better.

hup · Dec 28, 2007

Think of all the good luck you'll give to yourself by doing those salutations! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
(any extra good luck, please share with the rest of us <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">) 
Mrs hup and I are signed up for the 2 hour New Year's Eve class ... I'm so out of yoga shape .... I'll never make midnight without a nap. 
I'm waiting for a break in the rain to get out and do my 6 this morning. Once I get home I'll take the tree down and the lights off of the house. 
This time off of work is strenuous <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
G'day 
hup

JJJessee · Dec 28, 2007

Thanks guys, 
RoadID is probably a good IDea 
personally, I've been 
thinking about carrying 
a body bag, 
taper starts right after VRAA 
jjj

hup · Dec 28, 2007

Good call on the body bag, jjj <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
If Mrs hup sees this I'm destined to get one for my birthday <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
Which race will you be tapering for?
