<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Neil: Are you adopting any children this holiday season? I know someone in need. He loves snow, enjoys traveling, has always wanted to go to Vancouver, and he is old enough to be a drinking buddy by fireside.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4 mile run early this cold morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great day, Team!</p>

<p>Nice 5 miler this morning from the Y.  Cold enough that the pants were out as well as a hat and gloves.  Then some ab.  Back at the Y we were talking about the fact that there are very few 10k races (any distance higher than a 5k but less than a half) around the Boston area with the exception of Hangover Classic.  Anyone know of any others?</p>

Thought about joining you this morning until I remembered the start time of 5:15AM. Easy decision to go it alone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Area 10K's... you mean, like, winter 10K's, right?<br>

<p>After 1.5 weeks of sickness I was finally starting to feel better - and then I hyperextended my knee last night.  Not full out, but it's still tender this morning.  This is NOT good people!!!! </p>

<p>Trainer ride for me this a.m.  Same as last Thursday but this morning Gator Girl joined me so she could elliptical.  An awesome workout joined by an awesome friend.  Lucky me!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day and take of care of yourselves!</p>

Very Tempting - a drinking buddy is always a good idea -Canadian  beers by a roaring fire  although I dont know that I could fit you in my luggage as a stowaway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any suggestions on Beers from the area???</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The way they are talking about the snow in London On Saturday - I may as well stay at home and ski here - less fun though- We are so crap over here when it comes to dealing with snow - the place shuts down at the first sign of the stuff.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Only had to hit the potty 1x @ 3.5m so not bad. Run felt good. Outside. yesterday was a loss to the poopy monster.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Mile 1 – 14:22 – 134 HR (target 130-140)</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Mile 2 – 14:13 – 148 HR (target 140-150)</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Mile 3 – 13:25 – 156 HR (target 150-160)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">>> this is where Tither's "never trust a fart..." saved me... thanks T!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Mile 4 – 12:59 – 154 HR (target 150-160)</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Mile 5 – 12:06 – 164 HR (target 160-165)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Mile 6 – 11:46 – 166 HR (target 160-165) (oops)</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">The sub 145 is awkward</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">The 145-159 is very comfortable go on forever</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">The 160+ running feels like RUNNING. It’s work. Not terrible, but work to stay focused and in form. Muscles exerting. Breathing structured but heavy.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">1:18 total</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">I did a 10 min treadmill fast walk before I left and 5min cool down walk too.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>considering the dramatic shoe/orthotic shift I am PLEASED as punch about this pacing.</p>

<p>What is up party people? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A good day for me today.  I was up early and made it to the gym by 5:45AM.  I did a nice 1,000m swim, the longest in a while, where I actually felt like I was swimming and not flailing about crazily.  I then did a little weight lifting and ab work...I am getting totally ripped!!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This afternoon I ran with a buddy at work, 4 hilly miles.  My legs feel a lot better than they did last week, but I am still a bit concerned about my left quadriceps.  I am going to try and get in to see my doc on Monday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
