<p>No, I shouldn't be online.  I should be loading the van.  VACATION TIME!!!  Super busy, but relaxing time ahead.  Friday on my way to the next race venue, I'll stop at Niagra Falls so I can run on Goat Island.  For whatever reason I've always wanted to do that.  Will post as I can this week.</p>

<p>Thankfully it's a SRD for me as I feel like I've been hit with truck.  In other news, my cell phone got rather wet yesterday and subsequently blew up.  Very (very) annoying as it'll probably be a week before I get a new one from work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">4boysmom</strong> - enjoy the vacation!  Tip: put the lid on the barrel before going over the Falls.</p>

<p>A few guys at work have dropped phones into the toilet.   Not me.  It fell out of my pocket into a nice deep puddle as I ran to my car during a heavy rain storm yesterday.  I may get a 2nd hand phone tomorrow.  Ice that knee.</p>

<p>Morning all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It would have been a SRD for me today anyway but I'll be resting a bit longer than that. Found out this morning my knee is hyperextended. Far from the worst possible result of course but that will put me back to the sidelines for another 2 weeks...and I think out of Chicago once and for all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So...anybody looking for a bib?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I may still do the Maple Leaf HM in Vermont next month. That was going to be my pre-Chicago tuneup combined with visit to the parents. I won't be in racing shape but assuming I'm running again by then it can just be a supported training run. Unfortunately I just don't see how I can get marathon-fit at this point by 10/9, not after missing 3 weeks and now at least 2 more. I mean, you only get 16 weeks...and the last 2-3 of those are taper. The math just doesn't work out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Beyond that who knows what for the fall. Suffice to say the season is in shambles now. Maybe I'll get ready for some turkey trots. <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_131282152178615"><img alt="question.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_131282152178614" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/question.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm - have a great vacation</p>
<p> </p>
<p>jebba - nice job on the 6er</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - what RA said</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - I've thought about "accidentally" dropping my crummy Blackberry phone many times...</p>

<p>Good afternoon everyone.  I went out with my brother and his daughter.  She is starting up running and needed to do some fartleks.  So needless to say the forst 4 miles were slow and that last mile was in 8:?? and the last .17 at a 5:13 pace.  It was fun to go that fast. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice job on all the running, relaxing and such. </p>

<p><strong>4boys</strong> -  I never ran on Goat Island, but have a vague memory of running along the Niagara River trail on the Canadian side of the falls at some point, nice area.  Have a fun trip!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everyone else, nice runs or enjoy the rest.  I am in the resting group. </p>
