<p>Where is everyone?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did 5 recovery miles on the TM this morning.  It was SO.HARD to run so slow on the TM and not pick it up.  But much needed.  I feel like it was a massive accomplishment.    Hope you are all having a great morning - it is snowing again here.</p>

<p>o lawd, running on the TM is bad enough but when you have to run slower, ooof, that IS hard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's already 21 degrees here!  I'm bringing my running duds with me to work - can't run after work because today we get to meet with the Truancy Office.  uggh.  I guess it looks good that DS has started counseling and they'll likely take that into account.  But still, I'm a little afraid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Prolly 3 lunchtime TM miles for me today.  woopee. Of course when the weekend arrives with time int he day for me to run outside, it's gonna be cold again.  bah.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy trails all!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Morning gang -</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 miles for me this morning too.  But outside.  It was 23 degrees and felt like heaven! </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BigG -</strong> what will you do at the truancy office?  Our community has a truancy program that certain students/families have to participate in.  I have to speak at one of the meetings (they meet once a month) as the rotary rep.  I'm supposed to talk for 5 minutes about the importance of education in real world terms that the highschooler can understand.  They have a bunch of 5 minute speakers about what truancy is, the courts, options available, etc.  The program has been going on for 3 years and apparently has had a very good success rate in turning truant students around.  Maybe your community has something similar?  Good luck and hugs to you!</p>

<p>Good morning, ladies. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well, I got a bit of a workout this morning shoveling snow.  A bit more of a workout than I anticipated.  The prediction was for 6-9 inches, but we got more like 15 inches.  Heavy shit, too.  Took quite a bit of effort to dig the cars out, and it took me longer than I planned for.  Thus I was a bit late to work.  Oh well, I don't think anyone even noticed...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I run tonight, I suppose it'll be on the TM again.  Oh joy.  I've been logging a lot of miles on the TM this Winter...</p>

 

[BigGahoona]

<p> </p>
<p>At the truancy office it'll be a onene meeting with a truancy officer and we will discuss what's going on and what we need to do to fix this and we will sign a contract committing to a plan of action.  That's the first step, if that doesn't work out then we would face court. But we did this truancy plan of action thing last year.  It seemed to help a little, but this year is different with DS flat out refusing to go. </p>

 

[BigGahoona]

<p> </p>
<p>Shoveling snow is a great upper body workout!!!  Good for the core too!</p>
<p> </p>

 

[amichel]

<p>Officially a rest day for me, but I have some meetings on campus later.  I plan to park strategically and get about a 2 mile walk in if the weather cooperates.</p>

 

[Brandy]

<p><br>
we'll be right above you guys doing repeats on the High bridge.  I promise not to spit <br>

<p>6 on the tm. </p>

 

[solarpowered]

<p>Snow day!  I'm over it.  Already an hour of heavy shoveling.  I have more to do, but my neighbor doesn't have a shovel (REALLY?!) and he's digging his car out with my shovel at the moment.  So, a little break and then I'm back out there.  I'll get time on the trainer later, and then hopefully yoga tonight. <br>

<p>I should (and probably already do) know this, but what do you do?  This isn't the first time you've mentioned no one noticing you were late to work.  And, you seem to get a lot of time off.  Sometimes I really wouldn't mind a job like that </p>

 

[runningINnyc]

<p>Morning all!  As <strong>boB</strong> and <strong>Lora</strong> have already mentioned we got a bunch of snow last night, so I'm cozy working at home and sippin' on copious amts of java.   Yay!   I'm pretty confident that either CP's roads or the West side path will be cleared by mid-day/early afternoon so I'll save up my run for then.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Mindi</strong> - running slow on the TM takes some serious mental fortitude, atta girl!</p>

 

[phdatc]

<p>Good morning!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Snowing at the moment but we are only <em>supposed</em> to get 1in or so.  I had a nice run on the TM last night.  Partly it was good because I really didn't want to do it in the first place, and then I found a good movie (CrimsonTide) and K stayed downstairs to talk with me! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today was a swim.  I am beginning to think about another day for swimming, but the schedule may not allow.</p>

<p>5.3 this morning...outside.  Felt good.  Despite some iffy footing in some places that forced me into the street (thankfully I was wearing my electric green jacket) it was a solid run.  The last couple of miles were even under 10:00 and I wasn't pushing it.  Felt great to be out there.</p>

 

[duckgeek]

<p>4.25 miles on Pre's trail last night with a pretty sunset.  Today is another crazy day at work, but I'm going to try to get out for another run in the park because it's freakin' gorgeous out there today.  Ibuprofen has become a good friend of mine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Woot for nice runs, <strong>KP</strong>!</p>

<p>Heh.  I'm an Engineer.  I sit at a desk in front of a computer all day long designing stuff.  Nobody notices when I come in late becuase everybody around the office keeps different hours.  Some people come in at 6:00am and leave at 3:00pm, others come in at 9:00am and leave at 6:00pm, give or take.  I'm usually here from about 7:30am to 4:30pm or 5:00pm.  Thus there are people coming and going into the building at all different hours, so nobody pays any attention if someone comes in a little later than their normal time.  (Unless you're late for a meeting).  I don't punch a clock, so there's no record of when I'm here.  The only way someone notices I'm late is if they specifically come looking for me after my "normal" start time...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I get a lot of time off because I've been here for 12 years.  After my 10th year, I started getting 5 weeks of vacation time every year.  I haven't taken more than 3 days off in a row in a couple of years, so I take a lot of long weekends (for marathon trips, and for other fun things), so it seems like I'm always having days off.  Heck, the 5 weeks of vacation time will make it hard for me to every change jobs and go to another company where I might not get ANY time off for the first year...<br><br>
