Re: HAVE YOU MET YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR THE YEAR?

guest — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 16:26:00 GMT

Thanks to MarkGuy, here's the link to our 2007 Goals[/URL" target="_blank">. However, page 1 is missing. I haven't had a chance to think about goals for 2008 yet.

I met all of mine:

1. Remain injury free. (YES!)
2. 1,000 annual miles. (Almost to 1,100 - YES!)
3. Maintain consistent monthly mileage especially during the winter months. (Yes! a March HM helps this goal)
4. Improve core strength. (Yes! regularly attend yoga & pilates classes)
5. Run more races with DH. (Yes! We ran 3 HMs, 2 10ks, 1 5 mile, 1 5k together)
6. Run 2 half marathons. (Yes! I ran 4: Shamrock in VaBeach, Deadwood-Mickelson Trail, Billings, Bizz Johnson in CA)

Good morning.

3 TM miles + 30 min core work at the gym.

Speaking of babies, 24 years ago today at about this time I was in recovery with my firstborn son. Here's one of my favorite pictures of him at about age 4. <sorry, feeling sentimental today>

Re: Saturday Dec 8 Runs

How nice to read through the thread and get to the end and see Peter's posting of a successful marathon! Way to go!

5 degree windchill temp
8 carpy miles

My friend and I decided to do 4 loops around the lake near my house. It was a nice social time but not a very good run; we both felt tired and tight so at least we were on the same page. The Special Olympics people were setting up for a polar bear plunge fundraiser but we were done running before they jumped in. Brrrrr!!

ETA: also 30 min yoga

Yikes, Erika, that sounds pretty uncomfortable! Maybe you should run wearing ski goggles? Who cares what it looks like, right? Your missing bra reminded me of a wardrobe problem I had once when changing after work to go run. When I ret'd to my office the next day, I found my panties hanging on the door knob to the bathroom. Guess they got caught when I was carrying clothes back to my gym bag. This is why our mothers always said to wear clean panties.

Great kitty photo, Tramps.

Dark Horse, definitely show your friend the photos of you with the arm candy and tell him you don't need to look like a cartoon figure to pick up hawt chicks.

30 min pilates
90 min yoga
120 min of quality time with a friend

Mcsolar, how about I fly down to Phoenix and be your "Skip" this time. Would a 10 min mile help you achieve your goal? BTW, nice writing. I think you missed your calling and should've been a creative writer. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!

Bailed on Pilates
Bailed on my run

Made it to yoga. Excellent class -- glad I attended.

A while back I mentioned that my DS2 made the first cut in an open tryout for our local arena football team. The next cut will be in February. Before he made the cut, a documentary movie was made about the team. Here's the trailer if you are interested. Some of those boys look awful big compared to Choovieson !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/frown.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/frown.gif|border=0!

Re: Sat Boomer Runs 11/24

How nice to see we still have the holiday spirit in Boomerville. hehe.

Hope Roy's Woody has thawed out. Poor little guy !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!

1000
22-26 mph gusts
felt like 19 degrees
sunny

9 out-and-back miles with a girl friend in 1:35. We fought a chilly head wind for the first half and enjoyed the tailwind the second half. Overall, it was a pretty nice run and the trail was mostly free of snow. Kept taking my gloves off and on and then managed to drop one after tucking them into my fuel belt. Guess I didn't have it tucked securely enough. Rats.

MrC finally gave up on getting me to go shopping and went alone. I simply could not bear the thought of fighting the crowds.

ETA Planks:
1 x 1 min straight arm forward
1 x 1 min straight arm side (each side with top foot raised)
1 x 1 min straight arm reverse

Re: Wednesday 11/21 Boomer runs

guest — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 20:53:00 GMT

I think everyone has already covered my choices for "Every day is a good day." Nice job!

Maybe I'd add, "Every day is a good day when you can go for a run in the snow."

19 degrees (feels like 5 deg.)
light fog & snow
12 mph wind
5.44 miles

Had to cut it a bit short as MrC's ITB started bothering him.

Larry, I keep forgetting to tell you that I liked the picture of your dog running in the snow. He does indeed look in his element.

Debbie, I've seen people use those hand props in yoga and I bet they would help with the wrists.

Birddog, that's interesting about you living in Billings. The Black Hills are pretty -- I wouldn't mind living there. How do you like Sioux Falls?

[ETA: I ran 9 miles with a friend this morning]
