<p>Happy New Year Kicksters.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I decided I am going to jump on board with those of you doing a mile a day challenge.  So I started the new year off with a 1 mile run, which would normally be my rest day.  I would like to be able to say I ran every day for a year.  It is not a resolution, just a challenge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Training!</p>

<p>Dave- Looks like we're i the same boat today</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scheduled rest day, but I'll get a mile in sometime or other to keep my streak 'alive' (2 days) <span><img alt="wink.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1325426776225_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>.  This will be a challenge working 7 days a week especially when I throw some 12s in there.</p>

<p>No running for me today.  One of these days I need to take a serious look at the new year and get some training worked out.  Enjoy the first day of the new year everyone.</p>

<p>HNY guys!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of talk about streaking. Good luck with going all 365. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hoping to go 10 easy this afternoon.</p>

<p>HNY, everyone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nightmare for my family.  Our 9-year-old niece had some sort of accident.  She was flown to Boise, and is in a coma for now.  Won't know anything about her condition until Monday afternoon.  Just a terrible day.  Life happens while you're making other plans. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry to be a downer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Chances - Sorry to hear the news.  I will put her in my prayers.  Is it medically induced coma or is if from the accident?</p>

<p><strong>Dave</strong> -- Thank you so much.  From what I understand, she's never regained consciousness.  She's heavily sedated, and been placed in a state of artificial hypothermia for 36 hours to preserve organ function and keep brain swelling to a minimum.  We're just shocked.</p>

 

[RunAsics]

<p><strong>Chances</strong> - Sorry to hear about your niece.  Thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.</p>
<p><strong>Dave</strong>/<strong>BBS</strong> - streak on!</p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - great job on the race!  I can't believe you ran in the Hattoris (spelling?)... they are like slippers.  Now out for a 10 spot?  You are on fire!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was going to head out for a 5'er but decided my body needs some RnR.  So, my streak started and ended today.  Good job it was not a goal. </p>

<p>chances-will certainly be praying.</p>

 

[jebba]

<p>chances - my prayers as well for that sweet girl and her family, too.  And for the doctors caring for her.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>9 easyish miles in sunshine and mild weather.</p>

<p>Chances - so sorry to hear the news. We are all pulling for her.</p>

<p>RA - Hattoris worked quite well. Right calf is a little tight today but that itself isn't particularly remarkable. I was actually thinking they would be good for indoor track races when I can't wear my spikes but then decided what the heck, let's do the road race in 'em. Packed another pair of flats just in case I chickened out before the start but the Hattoris felt so good there was no way I was doing that. For such a minimal shoes the ride was quite smooth...and fast. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meanwhile today's 10 may have to wait until tomorrow as DW has offered that we take the in-laws out to the mountains for an afternoon  "hike" -- on one of the easy trails (flat, no rocks/roots, and not very long). Guess I can claim a walk for the day.</p>

<p>Oy... what a sucky spin.  Warm and no wind this morning which would have been the perfect time for a spin.  But, plan was to go to church.  Got ready and then hubby said he wasn't up for going.  Sigh...  went back upstairs to get ready for a ride.  And it started pouring.  Okay, God, I guess you want me to go to church.  It was a good message.  After church the temp had dropped about 20* and winds were gusting to 35mph.  What better thing to do than head out for a ride!  Ended up with an easy 23mi ride on the bike path.  Pace sucked, but hey, this was just for "fun".</p>
