<p>70 years ago today!!  Thank you to our military.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>30 dgrees but no wind at all this morning.  Very crisp morning.  We get colder here than that but usually mid to upper 20's so this was cold for us. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suppose to be 45-50 Saturday for the race and 30% chance of showers.  So who knows what we will get but it sounds promising.  A woman from Colorado is suppose to come run our half and she has run a 2:41 marathon and is an olympic qualifier.  Her goal Sat. is 1:17 with a personal best of 1:16.  She will be fun to watch..................from a distance.  I hope to run 1:25 -27.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From reading yesterday's posts; it looks like everyone had a pretty good day.  Here is to another one.  (Clinking ice cold diet pepsi glasses together)</p>

<p><span>Was going to run very early in similar temperatures (there's a light dusting of snow on the ground), but I had an emergency conference</span> call with Belgium to do first.  Blinkin' work keeps getting in the way!  Will set out after work... this time I'd better not forget my headlamp.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a greta day, everyone!!</p>

<p>the Last Reunion for the crewmembers of The Arizona.........which is sad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>it's kind of like</p>
<p>when my GrandFather told us about</p>
<p>the Minute of Silence on Nov-11th to</p>
<p>Remember the Fallen of WWI</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and then we just quit doing it.</p>

<p>You wore hamstring braces in the pool, TW???  You have come a long way in 2 years.</p>
<p>Guess that flotation belt's been mandatory, eh?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I managed to skip out for 6 miles at lunch instead of waiting for later.  Run was good..... time spent looking for a bathroom on the route (twice) was not. <span><img alt="icon_silent.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1323284653295_161" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_silent.gif"></span></p>

<p>Hi everyone</p>
<p> </p>
<p>nice math the other day Rip</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hate to break the bad news to ya KS, but you're only middle aged if you plan on living to be 110. <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1323289209442_160" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>nice running Baba & good luck at the race this weekend Liam</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got the custom orthotics yesterday. Podiatrist says to wear a neutral shoe now. So the local running store proprietor & myself spent some time trying on new shoes. I think she enjoyed it more than I did. Settled on Asics Nimbus 13's. Went to the gym this morning and ran 2 TM miles in 'em, gradually increasing the speed from 10MM to 8MM, and they seemed to feel OK, actually they felt real nice, but I hesitate to say anything in case there's a delayed onset problem. Then changed into my old running shoes and ran 3 more TM miles, giving me a little more than 5 for the day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's some pretty bad news Tammy.....I hope he can beat the odds and recover, but those are some heavy odds. I have a logger friend who was hit by a tree in the woods and he's paralyzed from the waist down. He's rigged up a system to make custom furniture now. People seem to adapt to anything.</p>

<p>...you'll like 'em johnny//.......just don't wear them more that a few hours at first and build up the time, apparently feet need to get used to them</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>........heme//........NO.......not in the pool, that would be silly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>also they would</p>
<p>clash with my necktie.</p>

<p>No running for me today but I can't believe how good my legs feel after the hard workout yesterday.  I was still a little tired overall and was happy to get through</p>
<p>my hour on the eliptical this evening.</p>
