No, we're scattered to the wind (I noticed your post only because Active.com has an email notification system (for which I did not sign up! Grrr)).

Some of us are on kickrunners (there is a regional PNW thread there) and some are on runningahead, and some are on both.

rest up, Soundie!

Here's an interesting (to me at least) graph of crowding at the Seattle half marathon. In my 10-minute time slot, over 1000 people crossed the finish line (or 100 people per minute). In Soundie's 10 minute time slot, 600 people crossed the finish line. I want to be fast like Soundie and outrun the masses!

Re: Tuesday 12-4 Boomer Runs

I was thinking the same thing about mc's water stop photo; a good shot for the Boomer God Calendar!! I still think he needs a little speed/strength/hillwork, though. It's a wonder he can lift the water cup.

I like Tramps' hothead kitty!

A big zero on the schedule for me; missed my swim workout.

I knew you are fast, but now I really know! Very impressive running, CNY! I think you're very close to all-american status for the 5k in your AG -- you might want to look that up. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!

Re: Twos-Day Boomer Runs 11/20

guest — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 19:09:00 GMT

heehee, MSally. But could you explain the LT numbers for us?

Twocat, a back & forth discussion on this board does not imply a catfight, nor a need to isolate the discussion participation by gender. Sorry I sound grumpy, but I like the way everyone jumps into discussions here, and I wouldn't want them to back off.

4.3 miles jog to work. Backpack was a little heavy with work clothes (I hadn't planned ahead).

Oh, and hopeful! You absolutely cracked me up!

Re: Monday 11/29 Boomer runs, etc

guest — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 19:42:00 GMT

I agree with Mustang Sal. 2-legged predators are less likely to be awake in the predawn hours than at, say, 11pm.

I was attacked very violently at age 16 while running on a beautiful but remote trail outside of Portland OR. For 3 decades afterwards I stayed off trails. Enough of that! I want to run trails! So I bought and carry a lightweight canister of pepper spray, attached by a ring to one of those livestrong-type bands (so if it falls out of my hand, it is still dangling from my wrist). It is no trouble at all to carry. I am prepared to use it on creeps and critters alike.

Running in residential areas -- no big deal. Running on lonely country roads -- a bit more dangerous (plus you have the dog factor).

15 min rowing and 30 min spinning.
