kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 203)

I used Yak Trax all winter last year.  No issues whatsoever.  I won't run in the dark, but I will run on the ice/snow.

Thanks Jeff - 18 month survivor - metastatic thryoid carcinoma....doing GREAT!

All of those in CT - we are on the coast of NJ so we are getting a mix of snow/rain, I feel for you. It is WAY too early for snow!!!!! I hope it is an EPIC FAIL for you!

Kelly - when are you leaving for FL?

So much going on in this thread today.

Michelle - wow, that must have been a difficult time for you and your family.  I'm glad you are ok now.

Kelly - you don't have a Corgi?  I assumed by all the photos that you did.

To all those that live in areas that get snow - I am very envious.  I've have lived in Southern California, Northern California and North Georgia.  No snow in So Cal.  In No Cal we got snow one day when I was in 4th grade.  My brothers and I all pulled out our snow skis and went skiing.  Atlanta gets snow about once a year, but not much.  Except this past January we had so much snow my work was closed for 3 days!  Unheard of, but we're not prepared for heavy snow so the roads iced up and were not drivable.  I went out running every day, through the neighborhood and even to the grocery store.  It started getting dangerous with the ice, but initially I had crunchy puffy snow to run in.  I'm sure if I lived in it I'd feel differently.  I'm just over this heat and humidity!

So glad to hear that you are a survivor! 

Leaving on Wednesday.  Getting very nervous.

I have a corgi - doberman mix that we picked up from a kill shelter in Alabama 8 years ago. 

I want a purebred corgi but at the moment with Abbey and the three cats there's no room.  We're looking to buy a new house next year so once we have a bigger place I can get a corgi (and goats)!

Kelly - I have to see a pic of a corgi doberman mix - that is a very unusual mix!!! Not sure I have ever seen one!

Morning, all! 

Cute dog, Kelly

I was at the gym pretty early this morning.  Got in some power yoga and an easy swim.  May do some core work later if I feel like it (or I may sit around and eat candy corn all day).  Carving pumpkins in a bit.  I will leave the seeds out overnight to dry out.  Anyone have any interesting or unusual pumpkin seed recipes?  I want to do 1/2 spicy and can't seem to come up with anything.

awesome! 

After my run today (5 miles) I'm just over 40 for the month. It's my second highest volume since I've been "training" and yet I feel like a slacker this month. 

I know my volumes decreased after the tri last month, mainly due to working on getting the restaurant and not having a race to focus on. But to still have a decent (for me) run volume surprised me. 

I have gained 3-4 pounds, though, and need to really focus back on my diet. The belly is growing some! Probably also due to virtually zero swimming.
