We had a cold front come through yesterday and this morning was perfect. 56 degrees and the sproink was back bigtime. 9 miles at 8:30 min/mile pace - better than MP. Even had a few slow tempo miles in there toward the end.
The sliver of the moon right next to Venus was a beautiful sight to behold. No clouds, clear skies, stars and constellations everywhere. Beautiful.

Nice sproinky run Breger!
My temp was a bit cooler than that - 18 degrees with light winds out of the North/Northeast making the temps cooler yet. Light snow fell overnight leaving a beautiful blanket for me to run on. There is something magical about being the first one to make foot prints in the fresh snow . . . other than the little animal tracks. It's like being one with nature and there is not a better way to start the day.
4.75 slow miles - still icy under the snow. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!

Morning... nice spoink breeg!
No snow here but 30's. Total 7.2 miles that just got better and better. Took Tory for 2.2 mi then did 5 GA miles which progressed from stiffness to poetry in motion. One of those runs where I was sad that it ended.
7 mi
1:00:34
8:24... last mile was 7:58 and it felt the best.
Have gret runs

Good morning all,
No running...out to work early this morning.
Taper madness for me...I'm nervous that I'll lose my fitness if I don't run. I'm anxious to get to the starting line as it looks like the weather is going to be perfect for starting time on Saturday...upper 30's going to the 50's and sunny WooHoo!
Shorts & tee shirt weather!
What a break from last year's 18 degree starting temps that never got out of the 30's...
Good runs to all today

60 deg in my basement with an intermittent warm breeze from overhead. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!
A sproinky 3 miles in 34.
Good runs all.
Some people have snow, some have sproink, some have both, some have neither.
Here the snow started up after my run, and I was sans sproink. Again.
5 miles at 9:52 pace.

Cross training day for me today. 4.5 miles on the eliptical trainer in 35 minutes with some ab and leg work for another 20. The December Runners World magazine has their top 10 list of marathons for 2008. Some are very familiar to the Boomer world! Good Wednesday runs, all.
Good morning,
I bagged running today also, so that I could put the finishing touches on a resume and get it out. Hoping of course that this would be, as Steve said, a course that God is leading me to.
Holding my breath

No weather worries for me at the fitness center. Went down there and all the machines in use. Oh well. Might as well work.
I'm training a group of sales trainers, all women, all gorgeous. Young kids. Yesterday at lunch we were talking about their backgrounds, families etc. They're all in their 40's! Here I'm thinking late 20's, early 30's. We had a good laugh over that and I'm sure they were flattered. I was reminded of that line from Sting:
"Just like the
old man in
the book by Nabakov"
Breger, hopeful, you had the juice this morning I see. PDR, there is always tomorrow's run. Good luck Saturday Peter.
I'm home tonight. Spareribs
10 miles at zero dark fifteen (5:15 AM) with 2 running pals---12F, calm with a great crescent of a moon and lots of stars. First 5 miles at 9 minute pace and then 3 at 7:55 pace, final 2 at 9 minute pace. I was a bit stiff (probably from gripping the steering wheel so hard driving through lake effect snow yesterday) but the legs felt good and we each took a turn leading the tempo miles, so the work was shared.
Full day now of calls and reports to write.
Good day to all

3.2 miles for me, 29 degrees feels like 20. I love it cold like this.
Good day to all.

inches ever closer to her goal of 1,000 miles. Good for you. I trust your skin treatment goes well and I would have made that same choice. I am watching you because I am on the chase of my personal goal of 1,000 miles for the year although I have quite a few more miles to put in during December to get there.Choovie's
story yesterday of discovering her panties mysteriously showed up on a doorknob combined with this being the Holiday season reminded me of what happened to me several years ago when I was married.Peter--trust your training. Trite but true. You'll do great.
5 miles @ 8:40; felt very easy this morning. Love this cool weather; 25F with a little snow forecast for later.
The cat's stationed under her lamp; I guess it's time for me to work.
ETA: Isn't it interesting that choovie and Vista have the same problem? Neither can keep track of their underwear.

A bit slippery and sloppy outside, so I stayed inside today. Ran 2 miles on the track, then switched locations and did 2.1 more on the treadmill. The TM is actually the better choice since the room it's in is kept cooler and with fans blowing.
Mary: When is your day off? That's the only way I'm going to beat you in the morning.
And good to hear you had your procedure successfully. I wonder why the "no cardio" restrictions for #2. Sounds like something that I might ignore.
Bill: 56 would be a heat wave in these parts.
Good run, perch, and better luck tomorrow, PDR.
CNY: Great run in the bitter cold. You must know how to dress for it since that's pretty normal for your area.

Good Morning, Boomers!
Bill - your cold front would be our warm front about now ;-).
Twocat - nice long run in the cold dark last night!
Steve - good deal with the job offer!
Peter NC - good luck with the marathon - don't be worrying about losing fitness at this point. I'm envious of the shorts and T-shirt weather!
mrwhite - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Best of luck on the job hunt!
I encountered a flock of wild turkeys on the trail this past weekend. I actually heard them rustling through the leaves long before I saw them. They are definitely not quiet birds.
6 miles on the treadmill this morning. It was beautiful outside, and I was sorely tempted, but I opted to wimp out at the gym.
My husband just sent me the link to the song, "I Farted on Santas Lap" - grrrrr - that tune will be going through my head the rest of the day.......
Good runs to all!
