<p><crickets>  A little quiet today.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am on the TM watching the <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">Big Awesome Red Team</span> for 9 miles.  I am going to want a nap today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yay!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fast and Pretty or Slow and Long, gang and gangettes.  </p>

 

[gatorbob]

<p>Wow, late start today, eh?  Where was everybody this morning?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I ran 19.4 miles this morning.  Avg pace was 9:07, which is okay, I guess. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck to the Philly peeps!</p>

<p>Afternoon all!  I spent the morning catching up on bad television while enjoying breakfast and then organized a bit before heading out to the bridle path for a fantastic run.  7.85 miles of sheer bliss!  The weather, feeling good and the golden light reflecting off a perfect fall scene was just what everyone deserves on a run.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice job <strong>boB</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Atta girl <strong>Craney</strong>... but don't fall off cheering too much!  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Brandy</strong> - how'd the Living Farms run go?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>GOOD LUCK TO <strong>JILL</strong>, <strong>BAGGS</strong> and <strong>PC</strong>!!!!!   I'll see you all tomorrow along the course, run strong!</p>

 

[katholeenie]

<p>Nice work <strong>boB</strong> and <strong>Crane</strong> and <strong><span style="color:rgb(0,128,0);">Marier</span></strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finally got to the walk with Gus. A few miles. It's gorgeous out. For whatever reason I am WIPED OUT. And we still have to do dinner with the ILs. </p>

Hey peeps<br>
Driving back home now. Living history was a blast as always. A little chilly water wise but it was nice and muddy. Our hotel was kind enough to have a heated hose for us to clean off with plus towels and plastic bags It was sorely needed I can attest. Woot! I will post some pics when we get them developed.<br><br>
I did not see bigG but did see the group she came down with <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

<p>Tomorrow is the only day all year I root for Philadelphia <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">  Go racers!!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>2.6 beautiful moonlit miles this evening.</span></p>

[cranegirl]

<p> </p>
<p>OK, so I <em>only did 5.</em>  I am going to do 9 tomorrow--I have the hamster wheel movie all line-d up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How's the foot, <strong>Litch</strong>?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Philliers <strong><em>ready</em></strong>?? GO GO GOGOGOGOGOOOOO.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Brandy</strong> always impresses me....she is one tough chica. Doing a run like that when the weather is OK is one thing, but Living Farms in freezy?  Wow.  <bowy guy></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was wondering about <strong>Goon</strong>, too??  Maybe she didn't go??    OK, I checked and her name isn't there, but neither is Brandy's.  Unless Brandy changed her name to "B. Rabbit"??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(If you didn't, I'm now calling you that anyway because it's funny.)</p>

 

[solarpowered]

<p>Yay, <strong>Brandy</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was a gorgeous day here in the Philadelphia area.  Got a good 5 miler done this morning, followed by a trip to the expo where I got to say hello to <strong>Jill</strong>.  She was calm and ready!  <strong>Baggs</strong> and the MN contingent is now well-fed and resting up for those 26.2 miles tomorrow.  It's going to be a fantastic running day!  With my volunteering assignment, I'm not sure who I'll see when on the course, but I'm hoping to see most of my people finish before heading to work at the store.  I can't post here from my BBerry, or I'd send whatever updates I'd have...   </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm hoping to sneak a hello with PC before the start if my assignment allows...  If I miss ya, Go <strong>Pacer</strong>! </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Maria</strong> - touch base when you get here! </p>
<p> </p>

 

[Runninlaw]

<p>Bob - that rocks!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me, nuthin.  And I accidentally posted it on Friday's thread.  But nuttin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Go JILL and BAGGS!!!!</p>

 

[duckgeek]

<p>Nice Saturday runs.  Bob, you are a machine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got out for 4.25 miles, including a few brief instances where I felt like my old self.  Even powered up a couple of hill.  <img alt="icon_thumleft.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck and good weather in <strong>Philly</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Lora</strong>, did you intend to send out a mass email with no subject and a link to a wordpress site, or have you been hacked?  I'm not going to open it unless I hear something from you!</p>

<p>Grr.  Nope.  These spam emails have been flying around like crazy.  I've gotten 3 in the last week from people!  And despite changing my password after the last time, it apparently happened again.  I've changed my password AGAIN.  Don't open anything from my hotmail! <br>

<p>Hi all - I can't figure out what's going on with my left calf.  First real run since Monday, and the left calf acted up again at mile 3 and cramped up.  Ended up jog/walking the last 0.5 mile in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Two factors were the same as last time - I was wearing my "normal" shoes and I ended up doing something fairly non-standard the day before that could've been an extenuating factor (stair-climbing intervals the last time, a "basketball" type routine the night before this run.)   However, I ran 4.5 miles in my flats with no issues just three runs ago.  I guess this transitioning to a new gait is going to be a little tricky for awhile.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great runs folks and congrats <strong>Brandy</strong>! <span><img alt="icon_salut.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif">  And mucho mojo to <strong>Jill, Baggs & Pacer</strong> and their cheering contingent in Philly!</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p><strong>GOOOOOOOO baggs</strong>, <strong>jill</strong> and <strong>pacer</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>NOICE run, <strong>bob</strong>. that must have been satisfying and confidence building considering you haven't run much these past few weeks (or as much as you'd like)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>maria</strong>,  A.W.E.S.O.M.E. so wish i could have joined in on that run!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>nice done, <strong>craney, brandy</strong>, and <strong>lora</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>yay <strong>duck</strong>!!! you are leading the charge on the returners group - hooray!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>i was able to get in an amazing 4 trail miles with my brother this afternoon thanks to my sister watching allie kate. our trails have some serious elevation gain - i'd guess between 6-7% ish incline for a half mile at a time and it was a glorious day to be out running with my brother. i felt grateful, strong, and happy. yippee!!</p>

<p>goGoGO Philly peeps!!!  Looks like it's a great day to run!  Can't wait to hear how it went for everyone!  <img alt="headbang.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/headbang.gif"></p>

 

[Brandy]

<p>no bowy guy required. This sh!t is fun  the colder temps allow you to wear capris and that keeps the majority of mud out of your arse.  Not all of it though.  Also the freezing water makes it so you know the water crossings are coming up about a half mile beforehand....because of the screams.  I was a regular mud pile at the end of it.  One of the guys on our team who was dressed up as a giant chili pepper and carrying a beer mug used said beer mug to dump mud down my back before the first crossing.  That was the beginning of the end  The last crossing was by far the muckiest with the mud almost taking everyones' shoes and a little bit of a mishap on the ascent (my foot slipped just as I had a hand up which caused me to go sideways in to the embankment and then slide down.)  When I finally got up to the top, there was about 500 feet of slippery mud to cross.  2 of our peeps did not stay upright in that section.  I ended up throwing away my socks, shoes and the mens novelty capt america undies I wore over the top of my capris.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>No running yet for me.  We got freezing rain over night and the HP has advised no travel.  I wouldn't imagine even if I got to the lakes that the trails would be treated either.  I will look to run after it warms up...unfortunately AFTER I lift....if I can even get there. <br>

Go Philly pholks!

<p>8 miles this morning.  Sad that it counts as my "long" run.  Trying to be smart this training cycle though so I'm sticking with a gradual mileage buildup and that includes the long run.  Keeping it at no more than 25% of my weekly mileage total.  Pushed the pace the last 5 minutes or so to get some speed in.  Legs feel pretty good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now it's off to see the new Harry Potter film!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Luck to everyone racing today!</p>

 

[gatorbob]

<p>Go guys!  Have phun in Philly!</p>
