Hey - rainy, windy and cold here (of course "cold" to us here in South Texas is most likely "warm" to some of the rest of you!) - it's in the 40s...JOE - yes, I did brave the weather - I don't have a TM & I'm not member of a gym!  I only passed about 4-5 other people running in the neighborhood - one of them gave me a "thumbs up" when I passed him!  Crazy!

I ran the 7.8 loop - actually ran 7M & walked/sprinted the last .8M. After a nice warm bath & some peppermint tea, we're getting out the Christmas decorations!

Runjr - I haven't yet committed to a HM - I'm considering a few - perhaps April in Dallas for me...we'll see.

Happy day to all!

hey yall
on the subject of football, mississippi state won the egg bowl--our annual game against archrival ole miss...YES!!!

did 12 m today. it was cold, but not windy. a flat course, so i did ok on time. 2:11.

DS bday party. lots of work the rest of the day. fun with family.

a hilly run for me is three miles of hills, up and down about 12 times or so. the 10k course that was so hard for me had three or four extremely steep and long hills, and that was very hard. what can i do to get better at hills? i would like to know.

chuck...i am also glad you are taking care of yourself. hope your next test brings good news. hope you like your garmin.

Misswendy - 12 miles in 2:11 is good!  Well done!  Hmm.... how to get better at hills?  Guess running them!?   Well Cara said Chinese food was naughty, I'd have to agree with all that sodium and saturated fat.  But guess it depends on what you choose!
Make us laugh some more! lol ;-)

Kathy - Good job on that hilly loop! Hmm... I want to be like Cy when I grow up! lol

Wbertha - Nice workout this morning! Keep us posted on your races! Good price on a Garmin 205? Hmm.. I remember I had posted a site a month or so ago. Seems like Carol40 had purchased a 305 for her DH from them. However I think she had trouble with the HRM part. I'll see if I can call up the memory banks.... I got mine (305) from www.heartratemonitorsusa.com[/URL" target="_blank"> about 1 year ago. Maybe someone else who has bought one more recently has a recommendation. Have you tried posting on the Gear Forum??

Joe ... you`re nuts !!! ... once I can do ANYTHING else for an hour I`m never going near that hand bike again unless someone has a gun to my head !

welcome mara40thon!!!

i have not y et completed HM but here is my (less than) 2 cents worth: i dont eat before, unless it is a small amount of pnut butter on wheat bread. drink lots of water. follow the schedule on this or other running training site. just try and see what works for you...???

btw: a friend of mine ran disney and said you have to get up early to make the shuttle to the start line...

hope you have a great time chatting with us! we love it!

good luck on your training. keep posting!!!
