Hi all, I hope everyone is doing well. Low 30's and 20mph winds (didn't feel that windy though) but 9.1 miles tonight (my longest). I need to pace better as the end was tough.

Joe: You are awesome, 9 miles on the TM.

wbetha: I would bet now is the time to shop for one. Mine is a refurbished one from Garmin.

kathywing: I'm considering a couple. Oshkosh in April or Green Bay in May. I want the earlier one, but the weather could be awful that time of year.

misswendy: fantastic run!!!

Have a great evening all!

hey yall
on the subject of football, mississippi state won the egg bowl--our annual game against archrival ole miss...YES!!!

did 12 m today. it was cold, but not windy. a flat course, so i did ok on time. 2:11.

DS bday party. lots of work the rest of the day. fun with family.

a hilly run for me is three miles of hills, up and down about 12 times or so. the 10k course that was so hard for me had three or four extremely steep and long hills, and that was very hard. what can i do to get better at hills? i would like to know.

chuck...i am also glad you are taking care of yourself. hope your next test brings good news. hope you like your garmin.

kathywing...thnx for the pic. beautiful. i saw 2 deer this am.

to those who think i am obsessed with brett favre, thongs, or anyother kind of men/underwear: well, idk. it just sounds funny when i post it. hope to make yall laugh. i do think about other things!

and, hey, i didnt know chinese food was naughty

love to all. keep going in the cold and bad weather...

chuck: It's very good that you're taking care of yourself and going to the doctor. I just don't think thongs are very attractive on men - stick with the boxers.

wberth and spicegeek: That's great that you're working out with weight - I don't do any weight training and I know I should.

Peg: Good luck on the new job!!!

NC Sunshine: Happy Birthday!

julezc: I hope your job interview went well.

6.8 mile trail run on the Art Smith Trail out in Palm Desert for me today (1300 feet gain). I had to walk on the steep sections, so I only averaged 3.4 mph - really slow. Then I scrambled up a little mountain in the Santa Rosas above Palm Desert. It's finally cooled off - it was only in the 60's today and the wind is howling now.

A Palm Oasis along the Art Smith Trail:

I'm going to sign up for the Sedona Half Marathon on Feb 9th - that gives me a couple more months to get ready for it. That course has about 1200 feet of gain, so I have to get better on hills.

Peg, hmmm turkey day panties? I would say candied but that would get me in trouble LOL Oh Peg I just realized it's no panties day no wonder it was so cold this morning, and I wonder , I thought the Dr had something in his eye, you reckon he winked at me!

Joe at Beast Buy in line at 3 am 35 wind blowing like crazzzzy was a line already wraped around the mall but got in and got the Garmin around 7.

Went to the Dr.'s and he thinks I might have croms disease, not sure if I spelled that right or colitis. I have a uppe and lower gi monday at 12 noon. no running till further notice. He said this test is a matter of life or death so guess I'll listen just this once. I'll keep ya guys posted but hey I run Half Marathons in thongs hell I'll be just fine ! Love ya .

well the surgeon part went well, it's just a thing called a fissue[ a tear]. but he got a little upset when I told him how long i've been bleeding and direa dancing.over a year. So Friday I go see the gastro man and it must be pretty bad because they dropped someone to move me up. The blood issue really scares me. After I get that part taking care of it's back to the surgeon to fix the other. I guess I'm just a pain in the ass!

I did not wear thongs today, just a grey pair of mens boxer breifs. I did tell him about the thongs with lace and he said it's probully a paper cut from around mile 3 so be careful on thursdays. Maybe a little more body glide than usual!
