<p>Wow, I am making an appearance and get to be first !!  Cool</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Off work today, so heading out with the pup for a chilly early morning run.  Still not doing any "real" miles but enjoying my runs with the "free spirit" of running without the training schedule.  Step DD getting married on Sat. so had the week off and getting things ready for big event.  We love the guy and everyone gets along well.  Looking forward to a early run to help with stress and get the day started right.  It is an exciting time and the run will help me quiet the nerves. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy all </p>
<p> </p>
<p> Ps. signed up for tough mudder in April so I guess at some point I should start running with a purpose.</p>

<p>Great to see you here Apple. Enjoy your run with the pup... and best of luck with the wedding!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was running late again so just 8 miles on the canal path. Cold enough out there for me to have a nice ice beard going by the end...</p>

<p>brr....  cold..... hands froze......   5m and a runny nose but ready to get started on my day.</p>

<p><strong>Apple</strong> - sounds like a hectic week.  Enjoy DD's wedding.  </p>
<p><strong>Loopy</strong> - 8 miles? I'll have to write a strongly worded letter your manager soon...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Went to the gym early - 30 min ellipticating, 30 mins weights and some crunches.  That was booooring.</p>

<p>Good morning everyone.  Nice job on getting out so early this morning.  I got in another 5 miles.  It will be this way until January or when I start my next training cycle.  Just some good base miles for now.  43:40(8:44)  with a last mile at about 7:45. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the morning everyone.</p>

<p>Apple--gotta love off season and running just for the hell of it!  Please do post photos of the wedding!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>loopy--please tell me that you are now into winter gear.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Asics--perhaps some blaring Christmas music would help?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's Thursday, which means fishbowl.  Bit of a delay as son2 overslept AGAIN, so I gave him a ride to school.  Swim was an uneventful 2500 with NO music!!!  Also added a 500 water walking just because.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I ordered my Christmas gift last night and this morning got an email confirming my order and telling me they would start on it today!  Hint--it's titanium...</p>

<p>Morning peeps,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>More of the same old same old weather here...cold. I packed a gear bag for outdoor running today though. Hopefully I can get away. I'd love to go 10, if I can extend the concept of a lunch "hour" that far. 7 is probably more realistic, though. So I might go 7 at lunch, then hop on the TM at home this evening for the other 3. We'll see...all easy today after some hard running the past 2 days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apple - great to see you in here and it sounds like you had the perfect stress break this morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>loopy - nice job on the ice bearded 8</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - bored but buff after that workout, yes?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - keep building that base</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm - titanium...Litespeed? You know I'm riding a Tuscany c. 1995 right?</p>

<p>Another long day at work...and you guessed it...no midday run getaway. <span><img alt="icon_compress.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_compress.gif"> Tomorrow will be no better. I'll be staggering for sure by the time my much needed Christmas break commences on 12/24.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Gotta wrap up here and then I'm heading home, back to the "basement gym" again. It will have to be an elliptical session since DW needs to do a TM run. I've gotten the belt to myself the past 3 days, so I can't complain.</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p>Late post.  I got stuck in court, so couldn't run at lunch.  I did a short and easy 3.1 after work.  Tomorrow I'll try to fit in my long run, since I have a half day off.</p>

 

[Floridaboiler]

<p>Lost my mojo sometime overnight. I had hoped to run after work but to much other stuff going on.  Oh well.</p>
