Good morning!<br>
Happy Friday! Looks like it will be a snowy day here today. It's already started and should make for another tough commute this morning. Yuck.<br>
Running rest day today, just finishing up a little workout and it's off to the shower.<br>
Have a great day!<br>

<p>Good morning Paul!  Hope you have a safe trip to work and a good day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No school for my kids again.  argh!!!  No long run with my friends unfortunately.  I hope that the treadmill repair guy can still make it to my house to fix it so I can run on that instead.  If not, I'll be braving the cold tomorrow for my long run.  Stay warm everyone and happy Friday!</p>

<p>Good morning Sisu! It was a long slow ride into work but I made it unscathed.</p>
<p>Hope you get that TM fixed! Have a good run!</p>

<p>gm peeps....guess what..snow again..kids home..I am pretty sick of shoveling and mopping up the wet snow melting all over my floor from the kids...sigh..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just cleaned the fish tank..took me an hour...10 mins to clean it and another hour to haul the 35gallons of water back in..but its done...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>no time to run yesterday..so today will be w2d2...and I WILL get it done....also hoping to finish up my dissertation proposal tonight..3 weeks of revisions is way to long, but it is what it is.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>drive careful everyone....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>SUDS--have a safe travel home</p>
<p>SISU--I hope the TM guy comes for you!</p>

<p>Morning my running friends.  I just couldn't make it out of bed to run this morning so I will work out later.  I am so glad that it is Friday with not much planned for the weekend.  Unfortunately I am going to Texas next week for work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Morning Paul glad you made it to work safe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Susan hope that TM gets fixed soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Amber have fun with the kids today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry about all the bad weather back East.  It should be in the 70's all weekend here.</p>

 

[Sisu]

<p>Hi Amber.  I'm not shoveling!  I'm waiting until it's all over and then I'll tackle the walkway.  Good job on that fishtank cleaning.  Sounds like one of those things I would put off for as long as possible!  Have fun on W2d2!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No treadmill repair guy yet  I have a feeling he's not going to make it.  It's snowing really hard and my driveway is looking pretty bad.  I guess I'll have to do my run tomorrow in the frigid cold instead.  No matter how cold it is tomorrow morning I'm sure it will be warmer than what Staci has had to deal with!  </p>
<p> </p>

 

[Sisu]

<p>Hey Paul - a couple of days ago you asked me about the Eastern States race and I haven't signed up for it yet because honestly I don't know if I'll be able to do it.  I'm hoping to get through 10-12mi tomorrow and that will give me an idea of where I am.  I'm really starting to wonder about how I'm going to get through Boston!  yikes.</p>

 

[NBjunkie]

<p>RON---boo for 70*--lol--we are getting nailed with snow right now--it hasnt let up since 4am....gl getting your workout in</p>
<p> </p>
<p>((SISU)) hope you can run Boston??!! too bad about the repair guy...gonna get cold the next few days....what about going to the gym for the tm? youre always welcome to hop on mine I can even watch the kiddos .....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>most of my chores are done--finally--now waiting for round 2 of clean up..blah...but gonna hop on my TM in a sec, before I change my mind--and then do something with kiddos after...and then I must tackle my dissertation *sigh*</p>

 

[originalsuds]

<p>Hi Amber! Nothing like a little snow to mess your plans! Hope you get that dissertation done!</p>
<p>Sisu, I hope you get that IT squared away, I don't want you to miss Boston. You have a running partner if you decide to run the race!</p>
<p>Hi Ron! Hope you enjoy the weekend!</p>

 

[Sisu]

<p>Oh I won't miss Boston!  I might not be prepared to run the entire thing but there is no way I'm missing it!  They no longer allow deferments so I'm going  </p>
<p>Paul - I really hope I can run the 20miler and that is my goal right now.  That and Harpoon!  haha</p>

 

[NBjunkie]

<p>SISU--I can always run Boston for you......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just submitted my dissertation proposal..what a small sense of relief when I dont have that looming over my head (well until he gets back to me, which will probably be in a few days)..so that means a guilt free afternoon of running, playing with the kids, and wine drinking tonight--sooo excited!</p>

 

[originalsuds]

<p>Sisu, Harpoon you could run backwards! Hopefully all will be good and you'll be able to run both Boston and Eastern states.</p>

 

[originalsuds]

<p>Amber, enjoy the rest of your day and evening!</p>

[Sisu]

<p>Staci - I'm sorry to hear about the sickies still at your house!  I hope that you feel better soon.  And, that cold is unbelievable!!  Stay warm! I ma </p>
<p>Congrats Amber!  That is a huge accomplishment and you should be very proud.  I'm going to have a toast to all of the work you've done! </p>
<p>Paul - I really hope I can run the Eastern States race with you!  I know I've said this a million times but I really feel like I'm on the mend with this IT band thing now.  I am so excited to run Harpoon again this year!  My friend Ann turns 40 this year so we'll be celebrating!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The TM guy made it here and got stuck in my driveway with his big bad 4wd truck!  haha.  I helped dig him out and he fixed my TM and I can't believe I'm excited about running on it again.  Woohoo!  It looks like I'll be doing at least part of my run on it tomorrow.  time for a glass (or two) of wine!  Have a good night!</p>
