Running Moms and Dads - Thursday Edition

Hey all, since no one would probably see my late night post, I figured I might as well start the Thursday thread. I know Suds will probably be up in about 10 minutes anyway....nut. Anyway, got in my 12 and change, though I was completely exhausted and considered bagging it before I ran. I cut off about a mile and a half which was on dark park roads with absolutely no lighting. Didn't want to risk getting hurt for a measly mile or so.
Of course I'm glad I got the run in and salvaged the week. Got a couple of hoots and a "Hey Cutey!" from some inebriated women folk down by the lake bars tonight. That was a first, but certainly entertaining. It was really quite a beautiful night and comparably almost cool compared to the daytime high we had today. Night running is peaceful, but I always think tonight's the night I get killed by a drunk or trip on uneven concrete and do a face plant. My luck hasn't run out yet thankfully.
I was so craving Gatorade when I got home that I jumped in the car and went to get some. Of course with my luck, there was two loons buying like 30 12-packs of pop and they didn't have the right coupon or whatever, so I move to next register. 60 year old checkout guy is picking the lint out from between the keys with a pen. I am so frigging thirsty, I'm thinking, "Can you please just check me out Mother F*cker!!" I finally got through the line and went home and promptly downed 30 nicely chilled ounces of Riptide Rush. Ah, that hit the spot. Now I'm showering and going to bed. See you all tomorrow.

Nice run, CJ! Sounded like a nice night to be out there.
I stay indoors when it's dark-there are too many areas around here that have no sidewalks and very little lighting.
I'm just getting ready for my 800's, so I'll be back later.

Hey CJ and Suds. I can't sleep tonight. I ran 6.5 before I drove out of town. I will do another 6 recovery run if I can get some sleep.
All my kids are gone until Monday. I thought I was going to like the time to myself but I hate it. The boys are camping with my parents and the girls went to Atlanta with their mom. This weekend is going to su**. I will either run too much or not at all.
TY are you up yet?
Hey, Ron! I just finished my run and I'm soaked.
I did 8x800 and it felt pretty good.
Too much quiet time, huh? I guess it has it's pros and cons. Enjoy your run later.

Good morning. I'm heading out for cycle class...it's too early for me!
CJ- I'm glad you got your run in! You're crazy running down by the lake at the hour...be careful (although I used to hang out there as a teenager so I guess I shouldn't talk)! I bet that gatorade tasted really good.
Suds- have a good day at work. How was your run?
Ron- I'm sorry things are so quiet. You are the second person who has said that to me (although they only had 3 kids). I hope the time goes by quickly for you.
Good morning, Jeanne. I'm just leaving for work myself.
The run felt great, I enjoy doing the 800's.

John - Great job on your run...that's a lot of miles in the middle of the week! I loved your run report! !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
OS - Great job on your intervals! Have a good day at work.
{{{Rnag}}} - I would absolutely hate it too if my kiddos were gone, but try to enjoy the peace if you can.
Jeanne - You are up early today!!! Hope your cycle class was fun.
I'm running at PT. Yay!

Up for another nordic walk. Hopefully after this one, it will be just my XT. Hip feels AWESOME. Some soreness in the area when I lie on that side, but nothing else...I will walk today to give it more time for the cortisone kick in and shrink my crappy bursa.
Have a great day!
CJ - LOL... GM Cutie!!!! !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0! WTG on getting that one in. I knew you were going to.
Suds - good workout on the 800's.
Ron - sorry, I slept in, but 3 something am is still too early for me. Don't be sad. The kids will have a good time. I will watch you so you won't mess up your training schedule. BTW, I found a site with great BW pictures. Course on of then is my wallpaper now !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!
Jeanne - I hope you are having a great class!

DD#2 needs to run at the track at 8am then at 8:45 DD#1 needs to be at the high school to give five of her friends good luck balloons and candy because they are trying out for volleyball and today is the day they find out if they make the team.
