<p>Hi all</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So quiet here lately but I'm still checking in.  I met with a coach yesterday and I now have a marathon plan for the fall.  I think that the plan is exactly what I want and I have someone to consult with.  It's all time based rather than mileage based and I really like that.  I ran for 40 min this morning and tomorrow is my long run.  I went to see a musical last night "Chicago" at a small theater here and it was amazing!!</p>

<p>Paul - did you sign up for Baystate?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Time to get the kids moving.  Happy Friday!</p>

<p>Good morning Susan!  I'm glad you have a marathon plan in place.  I need to figure out exactly what I want to do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Running rest day here.  I am hoping to get out and cycle this evening but we'll see how the cards fall.  I should have gotten up and done it early but we've had a lot of late nights with early mornings lately and I was just too tired to even contemplate it.</p>

<p>Dd10 got her pet hamster yesterday.  She is really cute but so far spends all her time hiding from us.  </p>

<p>hey andi and susan!  I'm seriously considering California International Marathon in December.  I've got a free ticket on FF miles and I can stay with my brother for a few days and I think I prob can get a free hotel the night before.  Supposed to be one of the fastest courses in the country.<br>

<p>Sounds like a must-do JB!</p>
<p>Andi - enjoy your rest day.  I hope to see you at Baystate again this year!  </p>

<p>Hello!  I ran 6 with a friend at the gym...it's so hot today there is no way I was motivated to do it outside.  It was 90 at 9AM and very humid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This weekend is my 20th High School reunion.  Sadly I'm not going.  We were just in Rochester over July 4th and we're going to my brothers near Lake George next week so I couldn't justify another NY trip...plus the tickets were $155 for 2 hours of drinks and light snacks.  Now I'm wishing I at least went for the informal night tonight at the local bar (JB avoid O'Loughlins tonight).  Oh well!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>JB- that sounds like a great deal!  Fast races are always good.  </p>
<p>Andi- your hamster sounds very cute! </p>
<p>Hi Sisu!  It sounds like you had a great time last night!</p>

<p>Afternoon my running friends.  I hit the gym this morning.  It is Friday and that is all that matters right now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is another baseball weekend and my son is playing on a different team so we will see how that goes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Susan good luck with that marathon plan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi we have a hampster it is almost 2 years old.  I will have to check the expiration date.  I don't think there is much more time left.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>JB Sacramento is a gradual down hill.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jen that sounds way too hot to run outside</p>
