<p>Good morning all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Running late this morning, so just 8 miles on the canal path. Chilly out there....</p>

 

[RunAsics]

<p>Ran to the gym, upper body weights and some crunches then ran home.  2 * 3 miles.  ~50F.  The pocket of stench has returned.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Loopy</strong> - OK, we'll let you off for only running 8 miles rather than 10.  Just this once though...</p>

<p>Morning...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loopy - 12 tomorrow? </p>
<p>RA - 50 degrees? Wow.  We've made into the 30's now.  Guess summer's over.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Vets day all.  Will head out into the dark and chill in a bit.  Somewhere between 23 and 26 minutes. </p>

<p>Loopy - Just 8 <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"></p>
<p>RA - Nice job, I think you need more animal control out there</p>
<p>Dan - have a good run</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got in yoga after work yesterday, might be able to get something in at the gym later depending on how things go.</p>

<p>Good morning, party people.  Not sure if I'll run today or not.  Monday I was recovering from the relay.  Tuesday and yesterday I was down with a nasty stomach bug.  Today I feel much better, except for a mild but persistent headache.  I have a half marathon on Saturday.  Bleah.</p>

<p>Hi, everybody.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>loopy</strong> -- 8 today?  The world's rotation slowed a bit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>RA</strong> -- Pocket of stench?  Wow, miss a day on the boards, miss a lot.  Nice run. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Dan</strong> -- That's awfully cold for your neck of the woods.  Have a good one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>zrun</strong> -- Bet you're of the more flexible in yoga class, being Gumby, and all.  Have a great gym session later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>jebba</strong> -- Feel better, jeb.  Rest up before your race.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A little work this morning, then perhaps a swim.  Then hitting the road for the long drive to my <em>alma mater</em> for grad school.  Haven't been there in almost fifteen years.  Going to be really weird. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Morning all</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day for me. I had thought about getting out for an easy 3 or so, just to warm up the new shoes, but work has put a stop to that, got forced to go in early tonight... Supposed to have a family outting for my Mom's B-day tonight too.  I was hoping that this overtime crap was over with for the year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Re- New Orleans 'thon.  I just thought it would be fun.  I wanted to do a 'guys only' trip down there for a few days.  I have a friend from high school that lives in NOLA and says the race goes right by his house and said we could shack up and his place.</p>

<p>Good morning everyone.  I got in 5 easy miles in 45:04(9:00).  Rignt now I am just doing some maintenance miles until I start traing next year.  Nice job on all of the running this morning.</p>

 

[Alex]

<p>Wow I've been gone a long while. Running last week was successful, but not so much so far this week. Weather has been great too, I'm just not feeling it right now. I may end up sitting out indoor if this continues and trying to get in shape for some distance races outdoor, which would also balance out my eligibility left, 2 years in XC, indoor, and outdoor. I just need to figure out a way to get my shins to not be so dumb, and to get my motivation back. I think I just need to keep reading Once a Runner, that always seems to perk me up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope all you have been having a great fall so far and enjoying life. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it!</p>

 

[vashondan]

<p>Alex - Good to "see" you.  Hang around here more and maybe you'll get that mojo back!</p>
<p>Kevin - Sounds like a plan. Nice running</p>
<p>BBS - Enjoy the rest.  NO sounds like a great (and fun) plan.  When is it?</p>
<p>Rob - Have a good swim.  Be careful about that visit to your school.  You might end up feeling like and elder!</p>
<p>Jebba - Doesn't sound like you 've been having much fun.  Hope you're better soon.</p>
<p>zrun - You'll be some kind of loose by the time you start running again with all that yoga!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ended up doing 27 just cause.  Actually a perfect morning.  The 38 felt good and even though my legs were tired it was a fun (did I say that?) run.  I'm with Kevin.  Planning on easy miles and slow increases till well into spring and then decide if I'll shoot for another marathon in Oct 2011.  A good plan.  Now if my body will continue to cooperate...</p>

 

[4boysmom]

<p>Off to Phoenix!  Hoping for a short trot once I get to the hotel.  Planning on taking lots of photos during 3-Day so I can write a proper report.  Will not have net access until maybe Sunday evening.</p>

<p>Hi all, quick fly-by after nearly two days in a "leadership training" seminar. I'm wiped out. <img alt="razz.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//razz.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I will probably now go home and run a couple of miles anyway. With DW. At her pace. Which probably means a walk break or two. But it's OK, I'm still in marathon recovery mode. It will be nice just to clear my head after the past two days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Later peeps...</p>

<p>Hawk - does this mean you are a leader now? <span><img alt="icon_rabbit.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_rabbit.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Yesterday was a short 30 min. run on the cedar track before dark & today was nothing.  Looking forward to an early run since tomorrow night I have a night out with friends.  Time to start getting use to the cold !!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Night folks !</span></p>
