Here I am taking a break from writing--"let's see what's on the daily thread since I posted".....whoa! undergarments, missing slips, undie fashion shows and now mc praying for mild temps. I need a warning lest I spit my coffee all over my keyboard. By the way, fleece thongs are far better for daily wear...save the fur string ones for special occasions or races. goodness. Surely you own some "running divas" undergarments? Sorry guys (well with the exception of Vista perhaps) check them out boomer ladies. Soundrunner-your weekend plans sound fabulous. I also read your note about the 5k time. I say we are both primed to grab some 5k, half-marathon and marathon PRs. Let's do it and OWN these two coasts! ......Just saw the article you linked. So sad and awful indeed.

Okay.....I haven't stopped giggling but I have to write the conclusion to this jumbo client report before the school bus arrives. CNYrunner son agreed to go shopping for new clothes and I can't miss the window.

Why do I see this thread now going down a slippery slope?

Hey Ribs, Humbert himself was in his 40s, wasn't he? !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!

Tempo run last night. I listened to my body (and Ribs !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!) and did a bit shorter one than on the schedule. Fighting a cold, so I may take the day off.

I just got confirmation I'm signed up for a surfing lesson this Saturday in Tofino, B.C. (Vancouver Island). Using the trip package I won in the raffle this summer at Edge to Edge Marathon and flying up on Friday. Saturday, I'll be seeing Sousalicious. I'm excited to say the least.

eta: sadder note: this is where I did that hike on my birthday and posted pictures from the next day. Beautiful hike, in nicer weather.

Good Morning Boomers!

Some nice runs to start us out, and Peter’s taper madness (don’t worry, Peter, you’ll do great!)

MrWhite – good luck!

Vista - !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!

Erika – that whole eye-freeze thing would worry me - aren’t there any clear ski goggles you can wear? And do you wear a headlamp?

SteveP – hooray for you on the job!

First snowstorm of the year here in southern Ohio. The snow was falling so heavily when I set out that I turned back for a billed hat to protect my eyes from the blowing flakes. The heavy, wet snow quickly crusted my dark clothes white, and I received several strange looks from passing drivers, as well as a “Good for you!” from a man scraping snow off his windshield. There were only 1-2 inches on the ground when I set out, but I had forgotten how much harder you have to work to run in that soft stuff. I watched as a big pick-up truck tried to turn onto the street I was on and slide across the road up over the curb and into someone's yard. Note to self: watch out for sliding vehicles. DH had to leave early for work, so I had to get back home and finish on the treadmill.

4.15 miles outside, followed by this on the treadmill:

(5 minute slow-to-fast segments – 6.0, 6.4, 6.8, 7.2, 8.0 mph) x 4

Plus CD makes 7 miles total.

A bit slippery and sloppy outside, so I stayed inside today. Ran 2 miles on the track, then switched locations and did 2.1 more on the treadmill. The TM is actually the better choice since the room it's in is kept cooler and with fans blowing.

Mary: When is your day off? That's the only way I'm going to beat you in the morning. And good to hear you had your procedure successfully. I wonder why the "no cardio" restrictions for #2. Sounds like something that I might ignore.

Bill: 56 would be a heat wave in these parts.

Good run, perch, and better luck tomorrow, PDR.

CNY: Great run in the bitter cold. You must know how to dress for it since that's pretty normal for your area.

Peter--trust your training. Trite but true. You'll do great.

5 miles @ 8:40; felt very easy this morning. Love this cool weather; 25F with a little snow forecast for later.

The cat's stationed under her lamp; I guess it's time for me to work.

ETA: Isn't it interesting that choovie and Vista have the same problem? Neither can keep track of their underwear.

We had a cold front come through yesterday and this morning was perfect. 56 degrees and the sproink was back bigtime. 9 miles at 8:30 min/mile pace - better than MP. Even had a few slow tempo miles in there toward the end.

The sliver of the moon right next to Venus was a beautiful sight to behold. No clouds, clear skies, stars and constellations everywhere. Beautiful.

Econo, you remind me of my dad. He still has to show me how he can tear off the corner of each week as it passes with the little perforated corner thingy. Cool, dad... !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/rolleyes.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/rolleyes.gif|border=0!

6 decidedly unsproinky miles on the treadmill tonight. I had to leave work early to take my boss to the airport (well, didn't Have to, but he did ask nicely) so missed my mid-afternoon snack and last 12 oz glass of water before I headed to the gym. I was hungry when I started, and I think a bit dry. Sure made a difference, if only mental. Also, depending on how I feel tomorrow, I might take Thursday off. I haven't missed a "scheduled" run (i.e., one I meant to do) in at least 6 months, so a measly 4 miler would be a good one to drop. I just feel tired these days!

G'nite Boomers!

You love your Garmin, I love my new 2008 datebook! I can hardly wait to write in all my 2008 appointments & races & meetings! It has a ribbon and tear-off corners and a world map in it, too.
