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!

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.

Here's an ad that I just heard about that was pulled from Italian TV due to objections from a church official. Seems that Mary needed a post-partum pick-me-up from a fourth wise man: youtube video[/URL" target="_blank">.

Good morning boomers, from Beaver Utah, hitting the road in a minute.  Hope everyone has remembered to put on thier panties prior to going out for a run.  Might have the oppertunity to run with Millbot sometime today.  I will be wearing roller skates and tie a rope to him so that I can keep up.  Good runs All, larry

Thanks Holly, the eyes feel ok today. Sort of burning last night. I did ask a running friend about it, and he said it might have been combination of the wind (although it was at my back on the way down the hill) and the dry air. I guess our humidity dropped to about 20% last night... Who knows. The clear ski goggles might work, but they might also just steam up. Worth a try though. I can't have this problem all winter!

My husband usually buys all my underwear. I get a great big ol' assortment a few times a year (Christmas, birthdays, just because, etc) and I try them all on (with an audience) and keep the ones I like. Seems to work for both of us. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/wink.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/wink.gif|border=0!

Steve, I like that comment that it'll be fine by mile 4. That does seem to be how it works for me, too. Peter, you'll do great. Personally, I think there's an inverse relationship to taper madness and marathon performance (i.e., the worse it is beforehand, the better you'll do!), which is why I get concerned when I'm not a bit nervous before a race.

Even though it felt much more mild out this morning (about 5F here on campus), I'm going to the gym tonight for 6 on the treadmill. Might do some upper bod weights, but might not. I love this structured training plan...

PDR, enjoy your lunch!
