<p>Morning all..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice running KS....that's my typical weekend LR</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yep Heme..you've made <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Serious Improvement</span> over the past few years<span><img alt="icon_salut.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif" style="width:23px;height:18px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great race Gobi....pace a whole lot of 'em to a PR</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Welcome to the high tech 21st century Rip...and BTW, take from someone who's job is occasionally pretty physical,, you have to run FIRST.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great vacation Mr. Excitement, but don't eat anything out of the gulf.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah, as for me, Hows this for IRONY???. As stated above, occasionally my job is physical. Sometimes I have to bushwack up and down hills, over uneven, rocky terrain, carrying a 20lb backpack, a 10lb tripod in one hand and a machete in the other. Sometime you fall down, sometime you crawl over or under brush. I'm not whining, just setting this up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My favorite running route in the woods behind my house is also pretty rocky & rooty in places. Occasionally I'll roll an ankle. Again not whining, just setting this up. I heat my house with a wood stove, because the fuel for the most part is free. The wood stove sits on a hearth about 1" (2.5cm) above the floor. I've got a throw rug in front of the stove as sometimes an ember'll spit out when you open the door. The rug is supposed to be flush with the brick hearth, but the cats like to sleep on it and they scrunch it up over the hearth a little. Guess where I'm going.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I get a nice fire goin' yesterday after work and go to stand next to the stove as it was freezing yesterday. I put my foot down on what I think is the edge of the hearth like I always do only it lands wrong and it's half on the hearth and half on the floor 1" lower. It hurt a little, but 15 minutes later it Hurts like Hell. Half an hour later I can't put any weight on it and I've been limping around on crutches since. I'm hopin' I didn't break something. I think (hope real bad) it's only badly sprained.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, inclosing, good luck at the Pear tomorrow Tamster, I had plans to remove my trench coat, leap outta the bushes at mile 6, and pace you to a 3 minute PR, but it looks like I won't make it. But, with all your speed work of late, you CAN DO IT YOURSELF....Go Tamster, run one for injured Johnny...and BTW, say hi to rindaroo (if you see her, she's run/walking the 5K with a bunch of people from her work) and Laura.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lastly.....I miss Choovie a whole bunch too Erika.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ETA: I'll do a monthly milage summary tomorrow.......GL Boston runners........HI HappyFeat </p>
