G'mornin' everyone!<br><br>
had a beautiful run last night. The Thumb of God was out, but stayed off of me for the duration. Picked up again about 2 hrs. after my run. What did I do to deserve that?!?<br><br>
I'm up early getting some work done. Hope you all have a fantastic Thursday, as we say goodbye to January. Already. wow.

 

[gatorbob]

Yeah, I can't believe it's Jan 31 already. This month flew by! They say that time goes quicker as you get older. I can't imagine how fast the months will go when I'm 60 or 70... <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

I think I need professional help. Insomniacs Anonymous. Or Overtrainers Anonymous. Or something.<br><br><span style="font-size:xx-small;">help</span>

morning! <img alt="wave.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wave.gif"><br><br>
quick fly-by --<br><br><b>Theia</b> - love the new avatar, but when do we get to see the new cut? <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
Today starts the marking period that the Health class uses my room during my prep period, so I'm homeless (read <i>computerless</i>) during my free time. <img alt="mad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/mad.gif"><br><br>
I guess that means I'll have to give my kids a lot of paperwork during class so I can talk to all of you while they are working <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

I second Bard's vote from last night. I think Voodoo is our own Yukon Cornelius.<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.tomjanofsky.com/images/yukon.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

Morning friends.<br><br>
Late for work again. Oy.

 

[Auntie Moe]

Bear with me...I didn't get home til 11:30 last night but I wanted to respond to a couple things...<br><br>
Yeah, see, um, no. Feets gotta look good for the rest of me to feel good.<br>
If someone calls something I'm wearing "comfy"...I stop wearing it. <img alt="roll_eyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/roll_eyes.gif"><br>
But those flats are cute.<br><br>
Dude...seriously. SAME.BOAT. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"><br><br>
Since we recorded when you were right the other day, I can truthfully say, no, you're not always right. <i>Sometimes</i> right sure.<br>
Have fun in Canada. Do they know you are coming? <img alt="huh.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/huh.gif"><br><br><b>QOY</b>: The only thing I can add is I told my best fried last night that as weird as it sounds, this group is a real and true community. That whatever distance and space separates in reality is unimportant here...that we bridge that space, occasionally in a physical sense, when we meet up, and more importantly emotionally and mentally, when we offer support and kindness and guidance. If I had to say what I don't like about our group is that I don't get to spend more time with you all now and it makes me sad...I wish you could all move to Boston.<br><br><b>Theia</b>...there is one solution: don't train as much. Can you take a couple days off??? Feel better, hon.<br><br>
Rehearsal last night was good, although I missed the first half of the read through, which means I missed all my lines (I have 4!) and I missed all my staging (which is a shite-load...oy). I did get all the measurements done and one of my assistants came to help which was awesome. I'm really surprised...I'd thought I was by and far the largest woman in the cast, but I'm actually in good company. While this makes me feel better about myself (my own measurements were smaller than I expected), it means costuming will be even harder than I'd hoped. Oh well.<br><br>
I had to bathe the dog last night at 12:30...she smelled so bad that we couldn't get to sleep. Poor P...I don't know what she got into, but it was B.A.D. Now she smells like oranges. I let her wet self sleep on the bed. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
OK, gotta run...I'll check back later when I can.<br><br>
((((((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))))) since I miss you guys.<br><br>

<b>QODY</b><br>
folks here are nice, blazey skip. you all know this. im not a big 'talk about my running' person anyway.... and my folks are always like, "how far did you run today? did you run today?' and my partner was a wrestling coach for a long time and <i>gets</i> training. so beyond that people here are nice and i learn a lot (which has been said) i guess i don't know. and i don't mean that in a snotty way at all... its really out of character for me to post like this and i'm not missing anything anywhere else in my life. and while you are a cool and special group of people and i like you very much... my life is full of special and cool folks.<br>
i think, maybe, this gives me one more outlet to (in the words of staci) LIVE my life to the fullest with folks who share that life philosophy. with the format of this community and third space it creates... I am able to squeeze in another minute of fun here and there every day... and for that...thank you.

 

[Beaker]

Hi folks!!!<br><br>
First thought this morning...anyone hear from <b>Diane</b> lately?! I know she was having quite a rough patch and I hope she is ok! I miss her. Will have to find her email addy I do believe...<br><br>
Andanyone else notice the chick behind <b>Dom</b> checking out the booty in that second pic he posted?! I bet it was a niiiice view <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"><br><br><b>LLfabubagberg</b> love the choice!!! And I am sure she will too!!! I am a huge fan of colorful bags. <b>Moe</b> said well dressed feet make her happy, for me it is a great bag in a unique shape or color!! The current bag of the day is a beautiful Coach bag in this great purpley color that my dad bought me! Yeah, my dad is also addicted to Coach and has superb taste!!!<br><br>
Was up late last night helping a friend write a paper. She is in the homestretch of nursing school and it is really taking a toll! Will be meeting with her again tonight so she can practice her assesments on me. I asked what exactly that entaled and she assured me no needles or tubes would be involved!<br><br>
That is all for now...gotta get some bacteria cooking before morning meetings!!!

 

[Maples]

Good morning all. Trying to put this crappy month behind me. Nobody to blame but me. But that's the nice thing about new days, new months, etc. It's a chance to start over. NOW I just have to "get with it" and get back in the routine of running 4 days and cross training the other 3. When the time change hits in March I will be all set as far as running goes- no more early mornings, pre dawn, empty park runs. It will be back to 5 pm til 6 pm for me.<br><br>
Ok, well I am at least gonna go now and do my ab workout. Hey it's a start I have even skipped it for the last month. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> Time to get ready for work and nab some breakfast. Be good all and we've almost made it until superbowl weekend! (or just the weekend is good enough for me)<br><br>
I know I am late in asking but <b>Govandals</b> is that a little David Gilmore action on your avatar? If so two thumbs up <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

 

[startingover]

Save me from children trying to rule the roost <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"><br><br>
Morning everyone<br><br><b>Moe</b> I am the same way....things labeled comfy by others go straight to the donation bag.<br><br><b>Theia</b> maybe you need a couple of days off...take care of yourself

 

[runningINnyc]

<img alt="hello.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello.gif"> I'm tired, that's all.<br><br><b>Theia</b> - how long is your schedule going to be padded with all these extras? Unfortunately, coupled with your lack of sleep, I'm afraid you're exposing your system to pick up some sickness crap. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> Just say no.

 

[Maples]

<b>Colleen</b> I don't think for one moment that anyone other than you would dare to challenge the throne of your home. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> Remind them of their place your majesty.<img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif">

 

[solarpowered]

because I keep forgetting: <b>(((Beaker's pup)))</b><br><br>
and <b>Theia</b>: I have found, when I've been doing too much and not getting enough sleep, that ONE day (like a Friday night into Saturday morning), if I slow down and give myself just that time to decompress, to get some rest, I usually bounce back ready to go... just an idea.

 

[Jill]

Good morning ... coffee hasn't kicked in yet, I think I need another cup before I head out.<br><br><b>Maples</b>, I'm right with you on the crappy month of January. I hope February is better for both of us. Let's see ... I lost my engagement ring, broke my rolex and tore a leg muscle --> since healed. I think my "3" is done.)

Hey all.<br><br>

One DD up two more still sleeping.<br><br>
Home this morning then lunch, DD2 tennis lessons, naps, visit by mother.<br><br>
Hoping the meeting today between the union and the teacher with the state arbitrator amounts to something.

 

[Litchfield Hills]

<sniff><br>
Very well said.<br><br>
I have to be at work at 7 (this week), and have almost a 1 hour commute on the best days. I was up at 4 in order to get a run in before work. Even for a morning person<br><br>
I have been thinking about some other MIA folks too. Doc, JustJen, kj, trigirl, etc.
