Hopeful - Wow! Another race already! I'm pretty sure the miles you run in the sand yourun twice since the sand keep sliding out from under your feet as you run. So you need to recalculate the distance to add that in. I don't think the Garmin technology has advanced enough to add it in automatically yet.

Arrow spent the weekend and yesterday with a fever so I don't think he's been lurking. I'll tell him about the buck. And congrats to your hubby! I hope you like venison.

Such language!!! Hopefully no one heard. And Brinkley's not going to tell anyone. I'm glad you didn't get hurt.

I should get to run tonight. I'd will be in my neighborhood which is pretty hilly. Maybe I'll try the slow hill repeats on Thursday when I get to run in the daylight.

Happy 2sday!

Hopeful,
Great race. Sounds pretty and tough all at the same time. Shocking how far off their advertised course is.

Mary,
You are determined. Just trying to keep you off the injured list. How about just a nice tempo run.

Had my DS1's conference today so no noon workout. He ran his 1/4 mile in 2:51 and did not make it on the 'fit list' according to report card. I guess we have to work on that and reading more.

My five year old wants to start Tae Kwon Doe, we are venturing into parenthood where all you do is run your kids around, oh we had so it so easy for awhile.

What are you guys doing for Thanksgiving? DH is on call so I'm cooking. Told the kids I'd make them ANYTHING they wanted. So far they want sherbert punch and chocolate cake.<HR>

I guess I'm antsy to increase the intensity since I have the race coming up, my weight is back down most of the way to my goal (all it took was running more ), and the pulled muscles weren't from running. The tops of my quads were pulled from going down for ground balls in the softball game. My hamstring pull was from jamming my foot on a uneven pavement -- okay, I was running at the time, but it wasn't CAUSED by running. The race course for the 12/15 race only has two hills and I'm pretty sure I can drop time from my last race, possibly PR.

I ran with DS2 last night. He's planning to run the 12/15 race also so we need to work on his endurance a little. We ran a little over 3 miles in 34+ minutes. He never got out of breath so next time I hope to run a little faster.

soapboxWhenever possible, sign both kids up for the same class/sport/whatever so they have practice at the same time and place. Nothing beats the set up I have right now with soccer. My boys are in the same age group so they play on the same team AND I get to run while they are at practice. But it's not often that things work out like that.[/soapbox]

We're doing Thanksgiving on Friday at MIL's house. So I told the kids I could make whatever they wanted for Thanksgiving tomorrow except turkey since we'll have that Friday. We're having two deepdish pizzas. One will be pepperoni with rigotta cheese and the second will be spinach with feta cheese.

So I guess we're having Pizza Day instead of Turkey Day.

So, do you have room for one more!?

4 miles for Brinkley and I this moring at 9:30 pace. We are suppose to get snow tonight, so I'm sort of looking forward to 6 miles in the white stuff tomorrow. Although is is suppose to be quite windy too.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

I thought you'd be having venison for Turkeu Day.

Join us! I always cook extra when I make pizza.

How do you run in snow? Wait for the snow plow to clear is first?

I heard a joke this morning I'm dying to tell someone.
What to indians call vegetarians?

Been busy, but I'm ready to come back now!!!

How is everyone?<HR>

Mine are just hills. Yours are mountains. Whatcha been up to? Are you still looking at the London Marathon?

Bugs - I haven't done any intervals since 10/19 so they may not have a whole lost to do with my current speed. Cooler weather helps a lot and keeping my weight down. I hope the intervals will give me a little more speed but they're also a fun change from just logging mile after mile. So hopefully I'll add back intervals on Tuesday or Thursday.
