Hi all! Got in a great 6.6 miles this morning...hey that's half of a half!!!! BTW you Texans, it was 31 degrees...needless to say my buns were numb in the end from being cold. Jumped in the shower and felt like I was going to pass out. Had to sit down for a while. Note to self, drink your sport drink right after you run!
BTW, I read the last part of the weeks thread yesterday. Chuck, thong-Thursday? I am going to stick with commando all run days...I don't think there is enough body glide out there to prevent chafing from running in a thong...and besides, I don't even know if body glide is safe for that area!!! So Chuck, why don't you give it a go, take some pictures to post (right Peg!) and let us know the verdict! 
Actually, the last time I was cheeky in a post (the men in tights thread) some guy from CT emailed me to introduce himself...had to tell him I like it when my HUSBAND runs in his tights!
Hope everyone has a nice run or rest day! Laundry and football for me too today. Go Pats and go Colts! Alex

Wbertha - Nice 5! Sounds like you've done a lot already! Go Cowboys!! Go Texans!
Alexbobalex - Good 1/2 of 1/2 this morning!! Brrrr 31F? That's below freezing girl!!!! Actually probably doable as long as there's no wind! Yep, please stick with the commando! Don't know how anyone could run in a thong! Yikes!! on that guy from CT! I think you and Peg gave my pic on that thread a decent verdict! Go Pats and Colts? So who were you going for when they played each other?

Yeah, those are rough weeks when they play each other. I usually pick Indy, but two weeks ago when they played my husband wanted to take it a step further than our normal pool by saying that the loser has to hand wash the winners car...well, I knew the Pats were playing a better season this year and I secretly picked the Pats (circled it in pen on my pick sheet so I wouldn't get convicted of cheating). So when the game was all over and he was dancing around I laid my trump card in front of him...that is good stuff man, seeing the agony of deception on your opponents face! He keeps saying I need to pick a favorite and stick with them, but I'm not really from New England, nor anyplace really, so I just pick em as I see em!
Hey halfers!
I have been so busy at work, finally sat down last night to read last week's thread.
Joe - congrats on your race!
Chuck - I was sorry to read about what you are going through 
Hope things are coming together OK...
We have so many great new people as well! WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!
I have a somewhat delayed "race" report. I did an evening 8k fun run through one of our local parks, they have a large Christmas light display and it was their grand opening night where they allow people to walk/run through, then the next night it was open exclusively to bikers, then open to the public to drive through.
This was my longest run since a ridiculous bout of tendinitis sidelined me from my 1/2 marathon...and it was strictly a fun run, no numbers or timing chips. I was thankful to be back out there, my sister, DH and I ran together. So we pretty much went out and enjoyed the scenery, they handed out the glow-stick necklaces to everyone so when we were all lined up it looked like a giant caterpillar winding in the dark.
I did a run 2/walk 1 strategy until the last mile, we just cranked it out. Boy was I sore that night! Just a few weeks of running and you really have to ease back in! We finished somewhere around 1 hour 8 minutes.
It was kind of odd running through Christmas lights in 40 degree weather, but hey I guess I prefer that to the blustery snowy alternative.
I haven't checked the calendar, do we have any racers out there this weekend??
