Hey guys! Shouts in a bit. What is Spice's bib number? I wrote it down and now cannot find it!!

Good morning everybody! Ahhh…feels like home.

I ended up not doing the 5K yesterday but did do my 8 miles – in the rain. Less than ¼ mile from the house, it started pitching a big one – wind, rain, nasty. Before I hit mile 1, the iPod went out so I was musicless. I kept thinking of the quote about real runners and thinking about Cyndi and Anj running their halfs in far nastier than what I was dealing with. So the rain finally let up and the iPod came back about mile 5, albeit with random volume surges and I finished the 8 in1:24:59. All things considered, not too bad.

Rob – Glad to hear the hip’s doing better. Great job on the strength training. Tide was off this week-end (thankfully). I told DH, I know they guys needed the rest physically but after a couple of tough games in a row capped off by that nail-biter last weekend, I needed the rest emotionally.

Snowman – The heck with those people trash talking your times. Jealousy is an ugly thing. PLEASE post pics of Pee Wee Herman! What a stitch!

Misswendy – Awesome time and PR! Impressive mileage for the week.

Jay – Great job on the trail run!

Lorie – Good job on the cross-training. What is centergy?

Cyndi – I see we were on about the same distance yesterday. Good job! I feel you on the rain. I’m over it too.

Lisa – Awesome job on your race and taking 1^st for your age group!

Juli – Congrats on your first half!

Megan – So sorry to hear about your son. Glad he is OK.

Kelly – Great job on your 5.25 especially when not feeling your best.

Melody – Way to tough it out on the run with DH. Once my half is done in January, I just plan to keep my weekly mileage around 20-25 and run a few shorter races. We have a 10K in early March here in Atlanta that I am going to shoot for a sub 55 min. time so I will be adding some speed work as well.

KBT – I did not end up making Run Like Hell yesterday but I was running “with” you. I questioned my sanity during that little squall that kicked up about 8:45. Great job on your race and time AND getting out there!!

Thanks for the bib number!! Everybody have a great Sunday!

GO SPICE GO!!!!!

Hey everyone,

Watching the New York marathon on the internet... Hoping Paula will win, but she's dropping back a little now... Spicey is going well and on pace at just under 5 miles right now.

I did my last pumpkin workout Friday and was definitely feeling it after. Yesterday was a 10 miler. DH decided to cycle it with me (he has a cracked rib right now so can't run) - we went along an old disused rail line... the last 5 miles was in pitch black running by his bike light! It was good fun and I felt strong!

Today is a rest day... I somehow managed to slip over at home today rushing to pick up my phone - go my foot caught under the sofa as I slipped and fell over on that and onto my hip! I have some grazes and bruises on my foot and hip, but I iced well and think it'll be ok for running tomorrow! Funny that all I was worried about was being able to run!!!

Lisa - congrats on a fab 5k and first place!

KBT - Great 5k for you too! Sounds like you did fab on those hills... Cool to make yourself finish strong!!!

Joe - Thanks for moving us back and keeping us together! I think if we are honest, we feel more at home here.

Jenny - Great job running 8 in the rain!

Juli - congrats on your HM and a good pace too!

Betty - We'll let you off the 0.32 miles

Spicegeek is through 10k in 54:34 so doing really well!!! Run strong girl!!!

Happy runnning all,
