<p>hope you all had a filling turkey day.  i actually limited myself to one plate of food and limited desserts.  this no running thing really is a killer when i have to limit what i eat.</p>
<p>yesterday was spent raking, digging, chainsawing, lugging, moving, cutting, brush clearing, spreading mulched leaves - not quite the traditional workout but exhausting nonetheless.  more chainsawing on tap for today - as soon as i get my butt moving and my chain sharpened.</p>
<p>congrats <strong>ailarie</strong>!</p>
<p><strong>boB</strong>, are you wearing a facepiece respirator while doing that insulating?  i overinsulated my attic last year with the encapsulated variety but it was still pretty messy.</p>
<p>so is <strong>RIL</strong> the first to register for a spring tilt?</p>
<p>good runs all and nice job to you(s) for already getting after it today. i'm hoping to get a quick trip to the gym before resuming dad duties.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>cheers</p>

<p>Core stuff, butt tape and 4 on the tm. It's windy here and cold and I just didn't want to deal with it today. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></p>

Holy moly it's a cold wind out there this morning! I hear ya, Kath!<br>
That's a lot of yard/house stuff, 2oh!<br><br>
Despite the chilly temps this morning, I returned to the land of one hour running. Awesome.

<p>Morning My Pretties.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Fun</strong>: Santa Parade this evening.</p>
<p>Not Fun: Prepping for a job interview today.  I need to produce a 6 slide PowerPoint presentation, notes for it and a 2 page supporting document to hand out, present and leave for review.  That's on top of a 2 hour interview.  Yikes!</p>
<p>Fun: There is snow on the ground and in the air and I'm comfy cozy in my house.</p>

<p>Good for you, <strong>Solar</strong>! </p>

<p>Crap!  I thought this was the fun thread.  Sorry for the mixup.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll be running on the treadmill this afternoon when my butt gets tired of sitting at the desk.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm wearing a facemask.  And gloves and long sleeves and long pants, etc.  I'm trying to take all the necessary precautions.</p>

<p>I ran 12.25 miles today.  It was chilly and windy, but I survived...<br>

I registered for grandma's, which is june 18 or 19th.  I'm still searching for an earlier spring one too.  Eugene sounds tempting, but I'm not sure it's in the budget.  When I looked last year it seemed expensive (and hard) to get to.  We'll see though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like <strong>Bob</strong> did the longest run of the weekend.  You feeling ready for Charlotte?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm on day 6 of running this week.  Things have felt so great and it's been really good just to run what I want to.</p>

 

[gatorbob]

<p>Really?  My 12.25 is the farthest of the weekend?  What a bunch of slackers you all are!  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span> Just kidding...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meh, I guess I'm ready.  I'm feeling less ready that I've felt for some in the past, but I'm sure I can survive it.  And since I don't really care about my time on this one, that's all that counts...</p>

<p>Cindi - come out to Eugene - it is supposed to be a great race!  I haven't looked at travel logistics yet though.  I needed to put something on the calendar badly though - so I did.  I ran 7 easy today.  I am hoping for 12ish tomorrow.  That will get me around 36 miles, which will be good for starting training next week.  It is going to be a longish training season - 22 weeks.  But after all the slacking I have done this month, it will be nice to get a few extra base-building weeks.</p>

I am hoping to find an earlier one, so that I have time to recover and still do Grandma's.  Plus, I just looked, flights are $450 (which I remember them being last year too) and it is a full travel day.   I'm searching for one though and hope to make a decision soon!</p>

<p>brrrrrrr. First sub-freezing run of the season. Was 27 at the start, 34 at the end.  6.8 in the books.</p>

<p>Fitness yesterday turned out to be walking around the concourses at Denver International Airport; worked up a pretty good sweat lugging a rollerboard around the carpeting (added resistance).  Actually added it all up and ended up with 3.3 miles of walking, which I guess isn't too bad.  My calf was acting up though (it acted up during mile 3 of my T'giving Day race as well) - the ART session this week is going to be most welcome but painful I imagine.<br></p>
<p>Speaking of T'giving Day races, they had some photographers out there.  I think this is probably the best one of me & <strong>Kris</strong> that day</p>

<p><strong>Mindi</strong> - if you want an earlier one on the left coast here, Napa Valley is a pretty nice one first weekend of March.  A little rolly through the first 22 but it's mostly declines and the grades are gentle regardless, flat at the end, cenic countrys to run through, and good swag (the duffel bag is top notch and acts as your bag check bag)</p>

 

[gatorbob]

<p>Not mich going on this weekend, eh? Well, I hope all you folks travelling made it around okay.  Somebody will have to give me a detailed report of the security measures now.  Does it take much longer than it did a couple months ago?  I'll be flying to Charlotte in two weeks and I oughtta know what to expect...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No fitness for me today.  Well, other than more insulating in the attic.  The good news is that I am completely done with the first layer!  I think I may add a second layer to get up to the recommened R-rating.  But that'll be much easier than the first layer...</p>
