Wow -- scissors are in first place!  That is fabulous!!!

Congrats to Steve and Susan for their races this weekend -- fantabulous jobs by both of you!

And what about Susan going out for a nearly two hour run the day after -- is she nuts???  I'm training for a half mary in two weeks, and moaned about my two hour run this morning (which I didn't make).  Then I look at her log -- ok, make me feel bad.   

Thanks..went out yesterday for a 1 hour bike ride and it started raining about 15 min. in so because of the continous harrassment and !ng encouragment I have gotten from my teammate Lyssa...I parked the bike and ran in the rain for the next 30 minutes.  (I actually love to run in the rain but please don't tell Lyssa ;-)

Way to go scissors for the first place...everyone have a great week.  Headed to baseball practice..running 1 mi. each way...trying to get those to add up for us.

Steve


mua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
steve-i KNEW you'd cross over to my side eventually!!! see!! rain running ISN'T just for tough chicks!! LOL it's also for hottie-tri-fire-fighter-grampa-hotties (did i mention hottie?? )

ok so the taco fest?? i KNOW you're all dying of curiosity no joke, there are times he's made those tacos that i've put away 10 or 11 of them!! you guys have RUINED ME!!!! i ate 4!! ONLY 4!! i suppose i shouldn't complain being as i've gone from a size 14-16 to a size 4-6 but STILL!! he only makes them every couple of YEARS!!!
oh well,
anyway, i'm off to have a run. i'm scheduled to have my "long run" on thursday, but today might be a shorter version of the long run, i'm just going to go slow, and keep going and going for a while. i'm getting a little "burn out" going on and a run usually helps a lot.

Good morning! (yes, it's still morning, if only barely).

What a glorious day so far: it was 58 degrees, bright and sunny at 8am! 

No work today so I slept in a bit and then did a morning run. Since I had the time, I did some extra distance, my first time running over 3.4 miles! My legs were really feeling it at the end and my pace was kinda slow. Still, I managed to bring the whole thing in at under 10 min pace.

Now, I'm feeling like a couch slug; not sure what's in store for the rest of the day.

I took full advantage of a late start this morning and clocked in 3.15 miles before work! Bliss! It was just beautiful. Wish all the days could be like this!

Beautiful day here as well...Got in 2 miles today (at 9:40 per :-).

Way to go guys..we are in first place in the stats as well as the postings...I don't know why that is..oh wait a minute..the sarcasm is supposed to be in red isn't it..I don't know why that is????

Super job on both everybody.

Did you get to take leftovers home?


LEFTOVERS?!?!?! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! there ARE no leftovers!! a lot of my family showed up ('twas actually a celebration of my oldest brother turning 40) so there were about 200 tacos-and about 14 people. i know it evens out to everyone eating an outstanding 14.28 tacos. BUT that's my family. i THINK there were actually 6 tacos left over, and my mom (bless her little heart) sent them home with my brother, who i'm SURE doesn't appreciate them NEARLY as much as i would have poor DH didn't even get any--he was at work.
as far as the recipe steve-all i know is that my great grandfather learned it, and it's been passed down. there's lots and lots of black pepper and vinegar involved, but that's all i know. i WATCHED him make them, and i've attempted it, i can't even get close. it's some kind of "magic" that i haven't earned yet

had an awesome run. feeling pretty good now. funny how a good long run helps to put all kind of mental nonsense back in to perspective

Hi everyone -

I feel good today. I revised my goal down from 60 to 45 to account for most of last week being out with the flu. I updated the spreadsheet today. Big news - I did a 2 mile run tonight - slowish at 23:20 but I didn't want to push the first night back. I feel good now. Here's hoping for feeling good in the morning so I can continue running.

Everyone seems to be doing a GREAT job!!!

Other than totally blowing off your workout Surprised, don't feel too bad, I think she is racing a 20 miler next weekend.

Although I will admit some of the time goals make me feel bad about my "paltry" sub 10 hours. Than I realized, I have only exceeded 10 hours five times ever and never in February. Also, my monthly high ever is less than some of those goals I see out there.

Well, I didn't totally blow off my workout -- just the last 30 minutes.    Let's see, what excuses can I come up with...  my knees were aching, I needed to get somewhere, etc., etc., etc...  See, I can make excuses with the best!

And as you say, there is nothing wrong with a 10 hour goal!

MY BAD...I was sooooo pi$$ed after last month that I didn't even look at the thread about what us "loosers" were supposed to do.  So any how...I have fixed the problem and will even try and run a little extra to make up for my issues last month.

Thanks for the reminder.
