<p>'Morning mc, and those who follow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Usual donut day: one glazed and one chocolate cake.  And about six donut holes.  And yes, I'm spelling 'donut' this way since they're way too awesome to have 'ugh' in it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm moving this weekend's (Sunday) longish run to tonight.  Partially because of the weather, but mostly because I don't like running the morning after tailgating.  It's usually a slog.<img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title="">   So 13-14 miles after work.</p>

<p>I'm resting today & spending way too much time thinking about racing tomorrow.  I was getting ready to sign up and then stopped.  I sent Brooke an e-mail Wednesday but haven't heard back.  Having a hard time deciding between a mile fun run and a 5k.  The mile is cheaper, for one thing!  I also faded a bit Sunday before I hit the 3 miles and race pace would be a lot faster.  Got a <span class="yshortcuts" id="user_lw_1288968846_2">little muscle memory</span> at mile race pace during Monday's fartlek run.</p>

 

[Sans Souci]

<p>Pah.  Blocked in my country because of copyright laws.  Someone somewhere mustn't be aware I'm a World Citizen.</p>
<p>Lab, I'm sorry to hear about your friend.  Too, too young.</p>
<p>Opie, make up your mind!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just heading out the door to yoga.  No running today.  Meeting with the Beer Miler for a good, stout coffee after.  He'll likely raise an eyebrow when I reveal I'm more into experiences than racing this season.  I think he'd like to try to fashion me into some kind of a racer, but I need to try some new things for a while.  Still with his help, of course.  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Live it up, frens!</p>

 

[Opie]

<p>Okay, the mile it is.  Not a beer mile.</p>

<p>Opie - what SS says</p>
<p> </p>
<p>11.5 moh this morning in 43 wonderful degrees and no wind.  Imbedded 6 X 1 min at 5k pace with 2 min recoveries.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Racing a 5k in the morning in same temps.  Dont' get to do that very often.</p>

 

[Hemerocallus]

<p>Not blocked for me, SS.  But maybe 'cause I'm using a US company network to access it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry about your old friend, Lab. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good runs, KS and MC!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did 3 on the TM after work yesterday, plus a bunch of glute, calf and hamstring strength exercises.</p>
<p>Today might be a rest, might go to the gym for a bit of core.... will decide later.</p>

 

[Tamster]

<p>Good Morning All.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>smart move on the long run Lab. have fun tailgating! Go Ducks!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>tonight I'm hitting the town with my mom and a few other galfriends. okay, it's Grants Pass - so "hitting the town" isn't what it used to be when I lived in Seattle. We are going to a greek restaurant tonight - one of the fewer "nice/contemporary/diverse" restaurants we have in town. guys are heading to medford for a hockey game. and then tomorrow night we are going to a local highschool (NVHS) to see Star Wars: The Musical.  A friend of ours is the drama teacher there. Should be fun. Sunday is my dad's birthday and they are coming over for a birthday lunch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>at some point I need to get in my last long run before my HM in 2 wks. I'll be dodging rain drops for sure.</p>

<p>Hey all.{{{{{Lab}}}}}</p>
<p>I looked into meetup.com when MC mentioned it here. There is absolutely no reason for someone to say they can't meet people. I am forever getting sent different group notices. Lots of interesting stuff. Seems though I really don't have time between cycling in the nice weather and hiking/caching in the colder weather. Oh yea, and work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I try not to bog down the network at work seeing how I tell other people not to, so won't watch the video now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>43, what a treat hey KS?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I love OM's approach to running lately. Just doing it cause she loves it. Speaking of which I may even start to like it again. Last couple were easier, and this morning I even like the treadmill!! Only had a short time though, was just going to do a quick warmup before some squats and upper body weights, but it felt good so I stayed on it instead.</p>

<p>I ran 3 miles with MrC who just got home from the airport this afternoon and it's my 2nd run this week with temps in the 70s.  That's warmer than the mornings I ran in all summer.  Looks like a beaut of  a weekend on tap.</p>

15.5 miles at 7:56/mi. Crap, that's hard after a long work week!

 

[Opie]

<p>That's hard any time.  Good job!  I will drink a Full Sail Amber in your honor tomorrow, whether I have a good race in the morning or not.</p>
