<p>Yep another 10 on the canal path... about 20 degrees warmer today, so a bit more pleasant...</p>

<p>loopy--hang onto your hat!  Wicked winds are headed your way.  But, it is 50*, so I'm not complaining too much!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fishbowl for me this morning.  At the front desk they told me I could take my time, the really annoying lady wouldn't be in today.  Great!  How 'bout the water aerobics instructor with her annoying Christmas music?  With that, one of the trainers launched quite the impressive rant about her and the crappy music she was blaring.  First half of the workout was with said crappy music.  2500m total.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This weekend's HM is up in the air.  I have an ever so slight ache in my ankle.  This is exactly how the stress fracture started.  I'll give it an easy test run tomorrow, but I'm not feeling good about this. It's been a long season and I've avoided injury so far.</p>

<p>Good morning Loopy and 4BM.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm-  Take care of the ankle.  Rest, rest, rest if you have to.  Take the rest of the year off from running if it will keep you from injury. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>10* this morning I decided to wait until I get back from the dentist to run.  With it being so cold and dark and with ice all over the streets it is a good idea to wait.  Have a great morning everyone.</p>

<p>Loopy- any deer sightings lately?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mom- sounds like someone needs a little christmas spirit.  "The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is to sing loud for all to hear." anyone? <strong>Chances</strong>?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kevin- I wouldn't wait too long- may warm up and be too hot to get that run in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think I'll do 3 easy on the TM.  Scheduled rest day, but whats a schedule good for?</p>

 

[chances141]

<p><strong>loopy</strong> -- Brrr.  Great job.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>mom</strong> -- 50?  Unfair, but good for you.  I'm with you re the overly jolly during the holidays, and their incessant cornjob carols.  Hummers and singers are the worst.  Bah!  Great job in 'da pool.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> -- You're apparently part of the problem.    Tick, tock, tick, tock.  Your dance with Miss Mary fast approaching!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Kevin</strong> -- Get out there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Me</strong> -- Little swim later today.  Then traveling.  Ecch.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[BigBuckSnort]

<p>Chances- Good luck with the swim and travel safe</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just finished on the treadmill when DW calls from work and asks if I've looked outside...?... Its snowing its Butt off here!!! Man, this is Tennessee and its still November!  I totaly blame this on <strong>Kevin</strong>! Keep that white stuff to yourself!</p>

<p>Morning folks,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not exactly feeling the holiday spirit yet either...at least not yet. I suppose when we board a plane for Portland on xmas eve it will hit me. We'll be at the SIL's for 11 days. But that's a ways off. Meanwhile I have too much else to do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's warm (52) and rainy here, but unless it turns into a severe downpour I'll be outside for 7; otherwise indoors I go, to the gym TM.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not much time for comments. Happy running, swimming, and dodging ice patches & snow banks...</p>

<p>I loooove Christmas music.  I'm not sure why.  I don't like shopping or Christmas specials on TV or driving through light displays, but I like the music.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did a 4 mile walk/run at the Y this morning.</p>

 

[kfuller]

<p>BBS-  I will accept the blame.  I really don't mid the snow though. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was fortunate enough that the roads were basically clear of ice except for on the sides.  I got in a nice 5 miler in 42:32(8:30).  Went out without my garmin as it needed to be charged.  Went on a route I know is 5 miles and just timed it.  Overall it was nice and cold.  I definately had the layers on today. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the afternoon everyone.</p>

 

[zrun]

<p><strong>4boys</strong> - good luck with the ankle, I hope it turns out to be nothing</p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - is taper madness setting in?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice runs/swims etc. everyone, just PT for me this morning, I did the late yoga class last night for my first real running/yoga double.   I'm getting cold just looking at tomorrow morning's weather forecast.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Take care, all</p>

 

[CMJHawk86]

<p>OK, well I ended up working through lunch and not getting the midday run in. So it's time to head home and do just that. 6-7 easy miles, that's all I ask.</p>

 

[Floridaboiler]

<p>9 cruddy paced miles this morning.  Temps are still in the mid 60's down here this morning.  Even at 5 AM.  Rumor has it the cooler weather is rolling back in.  It better, I have a 20 miler to do on Sunday. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice runs everyone.</p>
