Saturday's run in which I run 10 miles and throw a possum
10.6 actually. In lovely gusty wind! The wind gusts were making me laugh and giving me flashbacks to last night's flying dream. My good deed of the day was to toss a dead possum off the road so the frustrated buzzards could eat it in peace without being interrupted by cars. I've gotten my speed up to 13 min/mile on long runs. Hooray!

Well, Lee, I can't say that I'm going to knock out 10 miles this weekend and I have definately never thrown a possum. My good deeds consisted of shopping for my friend who is having a baby in May and sending Chris some morale-boosters.

Re: Saturday's run in which I run 10 miles and throw a possum
Oh yeah, I saw that on the Redneck Olympics - run 10 miles while periodically tossing road kill! The extra .6 was just gratuitous, SOD.  I only did a plain ol' ordinary ten sans road kill, I'm such a slacker.
Nice run and environmental friendliness. I just hope you washed your hands before baking cookies...

I hope you were wearing gloves.
Too bad it wasn't a (wait for it)....woodchuck.

Good job on your 10+ miles and help feeding the vultures!
Didn't run today but hope to do at least 20 tomorrow...final long run before the Shamrock marathon.

I had gloves on. OSHA rules for possum tossing.

Re: Saturday's run in which I run 10 miles and throw a possum
I didn't run yesterday or today, but skied both days. Yesterday was spectacular, today was hard to wax for, slipping and sliding all over the place. But skied about 2 hours today and the woods were lovely. The season is ending soon, and I'm going to go into major depression. Thank god I'm going to watch my granddaughter for a week on March 12th and then off to see my mom in Holland. So at least I will not be hear when it's all miserably brown and muddy. I'll just be severely miserable when I get back.

I did 18 this morning. The first 16.5 weren't bad but during the last 1.5 I had severe foot pain across the top of my left foot. I've decided that I need to do some shoe shopping, that's my self diagnosis (unless I can't walk tomorrow).

Good go on your 18 Karen. Maybe the shoes were laced too tight across the top...but if you have a lot of miles in them shoes, it might be time for a new pair.

Re: Saturday's run in which I run 10 miles and throw a possum
My last possum was frozen stiff, making for a simpler roadside drop than usual. The classic move when I was a teen was "sailing" a "sailpossum", roadkill flattened by many drivers and dried out in summer heat to the point it was flat and stiff and flew something like a frisbee

Congrats on your 18 miles. It's going to be painful for me to think that I can still do that. Lots of training required I think.

Re: Saturday's run in which I run 10 miles and throw a possum
No possum tossing during my run, but we did see a couple dozen turkeys and we crossed trails with a coyote that was more scared of us then us of him. I got 30 in on Saturday as planned. It felt great and it was a beautiful day is the mountains. I ran the first 20 with my support/pace crew for the SD100 and then last 10 was just Marie and I.
