Hello everyone

11 km at 12:20 because - I can't believe I'm saying this on October 21 - it was hot outside and I faded at the end. I think this post might disqualify me from this elite group. But I am 50.....

Today is a beautiful fall day with record-breaking temperatures in the 70s. I think everyone is outside today.

Thought I'd put my summer running gear away but I'm glad I procrastinated!

I've been struggling with pirirformis problems for about 10 months now and today felt very good, I'm happy to report.

I'm off to have breakfast #2.

Great cartoon DaveinAA! Today I ran a 4 mile race. Three, yes count them three, port-a-potties! What are RD's thinking!?

On to my mini-race report. I finished in 25:38. Good for a new PR, 9 OA and 4 AG. But I got the 3rd place AG award since the winner was 40! Yes! My first and, alas, last trophy of the year. DW finished 13/36 which she was pretty happy with.

Mini-story: Last year this race garnered my vote for the worst run finish in racing history. I went there with DW and two friends. Not one of our finishes were recorded properly! Way to go! 0 for 4! I finished 3 in my AG but was recorded 4 since they counted a walker who "beat" me in. DW was recorded as finishing over a minute faster then she did. Basically because the "lost" runners as one of my friends found out when she was not listed as having finished. My other friend was listed as a guy, which will no doubt leave her boy friend quite shocked. Actually, anybody with eyes! At least this year the times, sexes, and finishers seem to have been recorded properly. Now if they can only spring for say six port-a-potties.

Good running and a good Sunday all.

going strong around the final curve!!

Nice one Tramps,

An away game for me today. It was fun. I got to participate in my first non-racing group run. It was in the NC Arboretum trail system near the Blue Ridge Parkway south of Asheville NC. Just a beautiful day. Below 40 at the start. We ran for a bit over an hour about 7 er 8M. 8-10 runners in our pace group. We took breaks. Chewed the fat. etc.
Today was my rescheduled weekly FunRunDay- just to run tech-nekkidly, no watch, no HMR, (well maybe music) whatevah day.
JJJ

WTG, Erika!!!
scooney, I'm embarrassed to admit that I snorked at your post.

Okay, everybody, sing with me ...

Nuthin' could be finer
Than to run with the Mustaaaaanger
In the mooooooooooor-ning ...

Always good times running in the city[/URL" target="_blank">.

And of course we thought about and cheered on a certain Boomer God hitting Mile 20 at the estimated time. Hope Double Pink Fairyness roooooled for ya, Markguy!

Good afternoon Everyone,

I waited until 2:00 to run today and it was 80F!!!. I put in 4 miles in 40:45.

Now I'm sitting enjoying the fruits of someone's labor, a sam adams winter lager. I'm told that's a great way to replenish one's carbs.

Sam Adams is my favorite patriot. What a guy.

eta: GO TRIBE!!!

Easy 3-miler around the slough. Very misty, drippy, rainy, sloppy, slippery, damp and dank. No lack of moisture around these parts.

Erika - congrats on the club win!! and lucky you for the Garmin, they are really fun little toys (whoops, I mean necessary tools!)
