Even better, the rainy season is holding off until Monday. Dry - cold, but dry - temps in the low 50s by afternoon - race day.

Good Morning, Nibbens!

I am in Chicago, on a layover as I make my way to Detroit, and ultimately to Windsor, Canada. It was 8 degrees in MN this morning... brrrrrrrrrrr

I have been a bit light on Nibbens posts and inspires so far this week, but I promise to make up for it when I get back in town later this week.

Until then, have a great time, and I am sure we will be on VII by that time!

My run mojo has returned.

5.1 miles 44:54 8:48 mile

I'm confident I have a good shot of holding my 9:09 marathon goal pace. 

barqhead - 2007-11-27 12:53 PM 8 degrees? Makes me shiver as I sit here in my tank top typing! Beth, glad to see you aren't taking any chances with that ear infection so you can play on BT! Hope you are feeling better. They are so painful. Way to finish the resume, Judi! Glad the mojo is back, Scott. And hiya to Hector and anyone else I missed!

now he just needs to keep the faith!  he was bouncing all over last night - I though Yanti and I were going to have to tie him down - lol

barqhead - 2007-11-27 1:22 PM I am so excited! I swam 3200 yards this morning! Yes, I did a lot of 25's, but still, it's the closest I've come to actually training since early October. I'm bathing in the happy endorphins (NOT LD sugar high) right now!

I think it's time to feed the fish (that would be you)...that's a LOT of calories...

lastcall2003 - 2007-11-27 2:27 PM

Hi Sal,

what's happening with you today?

sparco - 2007-11-27 1:35 PM

Hey Bedrest Beauty Beth (edit) and Purty Pool Pam!  Some project redirection going on.  Now that the team realizes the original proposal didn't make sense, we're trying to see how we can change plan so that it does.  I like this, though.  It's a good thing.  Good we didn't spend too much money before we got too far down the road.  I'm glad were getting over the politics.

You feeling better?  Back to work tomorrow?  Let me warn you...it may be rough .

barqhead - 2007-11-27 1:31 PM LOL! I go to Bunco tonight so I will refill my tank then. For lunch I had a Boca burger and a nice tossed salad with some slivered almonds sprinkled on top. Yum! How's it goin' with you, Sal?

Pam, what's Bunco...a company that makes buns?  Hee...and don't let Bethsheba tempt you with those evil LDs.

I've always wanted to play Bunco - is it fun?

lastcall2003 - 2007-11-27 2:44 PM

LOL - hey now,  Dee is the one with the Little Debbie issue - I merely posed the question - LOL

Pam, did you buy any LD's at Walmart or did you avoide the temptation?

Brass monkey warning the morning of the race, though... it will likely be near freezing at race start - wrap your brass monkey in an electric blanket so its balls don't freeze off.

Go to WAL*MART and buy yourself a plastic rain poncho, or better yet the cheap plastic rainSUITS (separate pants and jacket). They'll keep you warm before the race, and you can throw them out just before the start, or even during the run.

Go to Fleet Farm and buy a pack of cheap white cotton gloves. Same principle as the rain suit.
