Good morning Kickstars,<br><br>
I feel pretty good, maybe better than that.<br>
I feel like I've finally recovered from that #%^&*@, I mean that wonderful 5K on NYD.<br>
Feet/ankle are better than usual.<br>
Weather dreary, but life is goot.<br>
First rest day I don't feel like I need in a while.<br>
Maybe a 2 mile walk if i get round to it.<br><br>
Rest<br>
day<br>
ahh<br>
jjj

An easy 3.2 miles as the day's snowfall was just starting. Finished before it got too slippery, so a good way to start off the work week.

Mustang, I was thinking this morning: A three minute 8K PR is a big deal. The fact that your race was on the same weekend as some longer races is no reason to downplay your accomplishment. Your penance: Step out onto your porch, stand tall with hands on hips, and shout, "Hey, I just ran my best 8K ever, a three-minute PR! I rock!" Then go buy yourself some new running gear.<br><br>
Good run, Peter.<br><br>
Good resting, JJJ. <img alt="icon_salut.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif"><br><br>

Bill, I don't know Pedro, is he a PCA member?<br><br>
BTW...the PCA is holding the <a href="http://www.paradecharlotte.org/" target="_blank">Porsche Parade 2008</a> in Charlotte this year. Registration opens on Mar.11 on the website. It's a huge event and there's rumor that Porsche AG will be bringing Porsche No.1...the first P car made.<br>
If you're planning on being here for the week long festivities, let me know & we'll do some running together.

Good Morning Kicksters!<br><br>
Nice runs there Peter, Millbot, Roach, MariP. Scheduled rest day for me today, which works out well since its snowing pretty hard up here right now. I picked up a nasty chest cold over the w/e. I felt it coming on but decided to do my LR anyway yesterday (14 miles, 2:02:32, 8:45 pace). Well, that run knocked me on my a$$ for the rest of the day. I think I'm just gonna curl up into a little ball and go back to sleep now.<br><br>
Sally, congrats on your PR. 3 minutes in an 8K is huge!<br><br>
ttfn,<br>

I'm going out for a dash now and <i>I'm</i> gonna yell "Sally <i>roooooohhhhhhcks</i>" from the highest point. (millbot, you're a prince.)<br><br>
Hey, doodz at the top, does that car come in a <i>hybrid</i>? Bonger, I've been thinking about you and wishing I was on your VRAA team so I could harass you in the nicest way possible. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
Mike, <i>really</i>, take it easy, would ya? You too, JJJ.<br><br>
Aija is gonna kick some serious boo-tay in this competition. Just watch.

I'm on his team and would be glad to pass on a message or kick him in his <i>super mega bad ass</i> for you.<br><br>
MS is not allowed to enter a single pushup into her spreadsheet until she posts a RR that we can all reply to--a big PR at the particularly painful 8k distance calls for a collective celebration, possibly involving a conga line of dancing bananas.<br><br>
I thought about yesterday's racers and outstanding training runs as I swam 3000 yards this morning. One set of 5x(100 hard, 50 EZ) on a 3:00 cycle, with the 100s in 1:35, 1:34, 1:33, 1:31, 1:30. Then 35 min of the usual core and PT exercises, plus *** pushups.<br><br>
Enjoy your rest jjj.<br>
All take care and have great runs or rests.

<img alt="blush.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/blush.gif">Aaw, t'anks, youse guys. Trust me, I'm gloating aplenty. I've been doing the happy groove, singing "37:16" (what my watch said) and dancing around the house.<br><br>
Hey, Ken. I'm making it up as we go along.<br><br>
This was the original idea:<br><br><b><span style="font-size:xx-large;"><span>Pushup Challenge!</span></span></b><br><br>
Because I can't do more than, like, four of what SS calls "Plank Pushups" (and I call "manly pushups"<img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> without falling on me face.<br><br>
So: For the remainder of the month of January 2008, I will issue the following points.
<ul><li>Knee-pushup (previously "girly"<img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> - .5 point performed by a man, 1 performed by a woman.</li>
<li>Plank-pushup (previously "manly"<img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> - 1 point performed by a man, 2 by a woman.</li>
<li>Chinup - 2 points for a man, 4 for a woman. Grip doesn't matter.</li>
</ul>
Static yoga-type chaturanga stuff will make my head explode. Extrapolate if you wish, just don't tell me about it.<br><br>
The winning man and woman will each get $50 donated in their name to the <a href="http://www.fcrfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Flat-Coated Retriever Foundation</a> in memory of ol' Storm.<br><br>
So report your pushups in the weekly, and I'll calculatize 'em.

Hi Sally!!! Way to rock that 8km - they really are a bear to run - and you were fan-tab-u-lous!! And Econo? Simply stunning - what an awesome performance!! Wicket awesome way to smash that PR! Also can't wait to read some marathon RRs. Woot!<br><br>
EZPZ 7.5 miles at 8:40/mile for me so far. Legs are kind of weary from yesterday, but isn't that "just the way we like it"?<br><br>

I'll jump on the Mustang Bandwagon this morning too. I remember a crappy run she had just prior to her race and how discouraged she sounded. Then she bangs out a HUGH PR! We should all have weeks like that!<br><br>
0715<br>
30 degrees<br>
17 mph wind<br>
8 miles<br><br>
I followed with a quick 15 minutes of stretching, crunches, and yes, pushups. I have to really watch a painful right elbow so I did 4 sets of 10 girlie pushups from my knees but with elbows tucked next to my sides. I really don't care much for pushups and am only doing this for Dear Storm.<br><br>
I hope our marathoners are feeling okay this morning!

Good Morning kicksters! Thanks for starting peter. Sally I agree with everyone else, 3 minute pr on a difficult course...You Rock!<br><br>
No coffee this morning! I had to pull out my secret stash of Morning Thunder tea, probably illegal in six states, to get my morning shot of caffiene in preparation for a nice run this morning. 28 degrees, sun is shinning the roads are snowpacked, no ice.<br><br>
Good Runs All, Larry

Hey Econo, emcee, Sal, others... how about posting the link to your RRs in the sticky thread at the top of the page so they remain easy to find?
