<p>Morning!  Just starting us off here....brb. </p>

 

[aemerryman]

<p>Well, maybe "right back" was something of a misnomer....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't think the sun is ever going to come back out around here.  <span><img alt="sad.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327408605311_161" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"></span>  Thank god I've been taking vit.D regularly, or this spell of gray gloominess would *really* do a number on me. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Workouts this week got shuffled around a little bit...Saturday was supposed to be a "long" run of 4-5, but it was thunderstorming/lightning when I got home from working at the library, and then I just needed to do school stuff, so I bagged it and ran Sunday.  4.5 miles on a hilly riverwalk trail in downtown Columbia; nice, but the knees definitely felt it yesterday. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today is my speed/interval day, but depending on the availability of TM's at the Strom after class tonight, I might switch intervals to Thursday and just do straight easy mileage tonight.  Need at least 3.  Feeling good and positive about the progress I'm making towards Glass City....wOOt!  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok, gotta go dry my hair and head to school.                        <span><img alt="lol.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327408605311_307" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/lol.gif">  I still laugh every time I say those words! </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Good runs and good days, all! </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>OH!  And <strong>Timr</strong>, soooooo glad your DD is ok.  Scary stuff yesterday, for sure! </span></p>

morning ann and all,<br><br>
mild morning here. the weather is sooooo weird!<br><br>
4x2 mins of running last night at the Y after AK went to bed. man. this rehabbing thing is tot humbling! but it felt great to be running.<br><br>
nice gallowwalking, duck. thats my plan, too.<br><br>
holy moly oskar is big! i literally gasped out loud. amazing<br><br>
bella is in good.spirits and our handiwork is holding up. thankfully.shes not a licker so we've been able to at least spare her the Cone of Shame.<br><br>
busy day at work ahead. guy sitting across me on the train has suuuper long legs that keep.bumping inyo mine and he keeps apologizing.<br><br>
i've come to the conclusion that i simply lack the discipline to curb what i eat so i really hv to up the exercise. thankfully the Y has child care. w00t!<br><br>
how crazy is this - my family is all over the world this weekend: my bro is visiting nyc from bangkok, my sister is in cambodia, my dad is travelling to india, my mom will be in vegas, and we'll be in punta cana..<br><br><br>
qod: remember when _____________<br><br>
- we used emoticons like crazy?<br>
- the No Cheese Left.Behind Club (on sandwich wrappers) Club was formed?<br>
- we had near drownings at OBX?<br>
- the first tine i met BigG at madison she ”oh! missy! i was expecting a blonde cheerleader!”,<br>
(tot miss her. anyone hear from her?)<br><br>
i've just been reminiscing these past few days... i'm sure more will come up.

<p>Good morning.  I hope everybody has a happy Tuesday...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went out for a run at the track last night.  It was dark and chilly and rainy and foggy.  No wonder I was the only one there.  Anyway, after a little less than 3 miles, I tried to adjust my Garmin on my wrist and I ended up ripping the watchband off.  Oops.  I stoppd the run right there to make sure I didn't lose any parts.  It was too dark to put the thing back together outside, so I had to go inside to verify that I had everything I needed to fix it.  I did, but by the time I did that, I didn't feel like going back out.  So just a short run for me last night...</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[Brandy]

<p>Near drowning - I don't recall that </p>
<p> </p>
<p>ran a wee bit over 4.5 last night.  Trails were meh</p>
<p> </p>
<p>dome tonight - 5k time trial..not looking forward to that</p>
<p> </p>

 

[Runninlaw]

<p>Morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7 on the treadmill for me.  It was very tough mentally to get going given that last time I was on that thing I was thrown into a massive hurt locker for about 12 hours.  But, I got past it (besides wanting to stop about 10 times)....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun for me -->  lunch with my daddio.  Can't wait.</p>

<p>Morning all!  As <strong>Missy</strong> said it's quite mild here today, was a capri run for me ... 8.7 mi in total and great chit-chat to make the time fly by.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can’t get enough of <strong>Oskar</strong>!!  <img alt="love7.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327414911830_164" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/love7.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> – wow, crazy world travelers … very cool!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Tim</strong> – from the other day, Gobbles was last seen in Philly on marathon day a couple yrs back; he may have suffered fatal injuries that day, I recall at least one wing being detached  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>boB</strong> – I’ve man-handled the band right off my Garmin too, last winter ... hands were frozen and not working, I was impatient and wanted my shirt off NOW so I could get in the shower.  Garmin took the hit  <img alt="smile.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327414911830_302" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> and <img alt="sad.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327414911830_440" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong> - remember when Voo used that little guy in Madison to draft behind  <img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327414911830_580" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></p>

[phdatc]

<p>Hey folks. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>No run last night, didn't get home till after 6, which for me is supah dupah late.  Hoping for 3 tonight. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Maria</strong> I may need to read that book!!  I have to present a meeting later in the year called "Critical Moment". All the info I was given was I need to talk about how to deal with a crisis both in the lab and in real life.  Ummmmmm.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Oskar</strong> is too much, love him!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD:</p>
<p>Remember when...</p>
<p>- I first met Maria when she joined Theia, Moe and I for a tri relay in Nj and we met one of the Village People at the pool!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- tailgating after Broad Street with speedy PTom who had food all cooked and ready by the time I finished!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- many times anxiously awaiting the news of a new 30's baby joining our group</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have loads more. I feel so blessed to have so many remember when moments with this group!!!!</p>
<p> </p>

 

[Auntie Moe]

<p>Morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First off, I'm blaming a few of you for last night.  I got home, changed immediately into "lounge wear", took off all my jewelry, and while I was making supper, ate the better part of an avocado. <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327416776378_161" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>I also practiced guitar for nearly an hour, but spent part of that time trying to tune my guitar and COMPLETELY screwed up!  I was turning the wrong peg!  Oy.  took me a good 10 mins to correct my mistake.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>No exercise to report, but I unexpectedly have no plans tonight, so I will try to get in a short run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Oh.  I guess I never mentioned, I just heard, I didn't get the job I interviewed for back in November.  I'd been in touch with them all along and I was still a candidate until they made their decision, but honestly, if they'd liked me, they wouldn't have kept interviewing, would they?  So I was pretty sure I wasn't going to get it.  Ah well.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong>, Kath and I were talking about the near drowning the other day!    Also, Goon's on FB a lot, I keep in touch with her there.   I also occasionally chat with Winter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I miss being able to type emoticons...I'd use more if I didn't have to choose them from the menu.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been reading cheapo chick lit on my kindle.  There's a ton of it that's <$3, and since I'd pay that at the thrift shop for a book, I'm ok with it.  I do like this one author I've been reading lately, Jill Mansell.  Her books remind me a bit of those of Elinor Lipman and Elizabeth Berg.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>that is a good read <span style="color:#006400;"><strong>Maria</strong></span>.  Read it a few years ago on the recommendation of a friend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>speaking of books, about to finish "Endurance" about Shackleton's expedition to Antartica.  Still amazed that they survived over 400 days trapped on the ice and lived.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>a total of 2 miles running this morning then 30 mins of intervals on the TM</p>

 

[Auntie Moe]

<p>There's a new show going up in Boston about Shackleton...with puppets.</p>

Me too. Menu is STUPID. I particularly miss :violent1: which is <img alt="violent1.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327422777394_163" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/violent1.gif">, but it took a good 30 secs for the menu to load all the way down to the bottom where that is, rather than the 1.5 sec it took me to type the code.</p>
