WOW!   I'm wishing I was Kim, right now.  SF is out of control - estimates of almost 2 million people in for the parade.  Looks like 12 inches of ORANGE snow on the streets.  The cops on bikes are having problems!!

OMG, That was absolutely the most joyous occasion that this city has seen!  I just couldn't stay away, even with all of the crowds!  This has wiped away many years of heartache.  What a great time for this great city, for our diverse city, complete strangers hugging and crying all together on a BEAUTIFUL fall day!  Buster Posey smiled at me!  I'm quite sure we made eye contact.    Aubrey waved the rally thong right at this group of us.

Gotta work now...rescheduled my morning, but we are ready for the afternoon crowd.  Lots of Happy here.  Too bad Prop 19 didn't pass.   

I have no voice left. 

I am!  Miles for Migraines 10k on Sunday.  I'm excited to see how this goes.  My last 10k was in August of 2009 and on a pretty flat course, my time was a pr of 46:06.  I'm hoping to achieve a new pr...I want to see if I suck it up and hurt for a full 6.2 miles.  Also interested to see how my new shoes hold up! 

I guess since I'm racing I don't have to answer the "habit changing" query 

Try to start among people who are your speed. Ask before the race. Try to get in where you belong. A couple years back I ran a 10K in my local trails, and like a bonehead I somehow didn't go over the mat at the start, so I immediately went back to cross it and ended up behind lots of much slower peeps. I was stuck for about 1.5 miles... chomping at the bit, but it was what it was. Also, depending on how large the race is, you could end up being on your own, so heed trail markings very carefully!! In same local race (different year) I got lost one year -- yes, on the trails I run 100's of times a year. It wasn't the end of the world, but I did about a .75-mile loop twice, which sucked for my time at the end!!

And more than anything, ever, HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have any bad habits.

Seriously, though... thinking on this one. On the running front, my latest obsession is with cadence. I'm trying to hit 90 every time I go out, whether it's an easy run, tempo run, long run, whatever. I've learned that I tend to slow the cadence way down when I run easy, and with the 90 cadence I need to shorten the stride a bit. It feels weird. I've also weaned myself off of running with music. Started leaving the tunes at home when there was a lost bear roaming around our parts and I wanted to be able to hear if he jumped out to get me at O'Dark-Thirty. Found I liked the peaceful running and it was easier to focus on my form and such. I'll likely drag out the tunes for longer runs (although when done with friends we usually talk for 2+ hours before we go into our heads), but I'm enjoying the break from the noise.

I'm a big tea-drinker in the fall/winter afternoons and evenings. My two fave flaves these days are Zhena's Gypsy Tea Fireside Chai (rooibos blended w/spices and ginger), and Trader Joe's Ruby Red Chai (spiced rooibos). The TJ tea is awesome iced in the summer, too!! Fake sugar is bad, Suzy!! If you're gonna indulge, just go for the real deal. That's how I roll, at least!!

yeah, and you also have big boobs.

ahhhh.  thats the other thing i'm interested in.  its one 5 mile loop so there maybe be a good chance the geographer gets lost.  that would be hysterical.  and yes, you'll know about it.

thanks for the replies folks!

glad you had fun but you better get that voice back to read bedtime stories in a few weeks!  and prop 19, just go over and see linda, she'll hook you up.

Have you cleared out the browser cache?  There was a notice on the garmin website about doing this for failed data transfers.

This may sound really ridiculous, but my 305 was not transferring data for almost 2 weeks, kept getting the "failed data transfer message"...and I tried everything, the reset, etc.  Got desperate and decided to clean the contact points with an alcohol swab and voila...just a thought.

Does this mean you found your lost TT data?  and did it again anyway?? CRAZY Chick!!

Wait!  It gets better, I will be doing it again! 

My computer stopped recognizing my Garmin and was driving me nuts, in spite of d/l'ing latest drivers, re-booting, etc. Hubs helped me id that it was the cradle not working -- everything else worked on his system. Cleaned the cradle contacts with -- get this! -- an eraser (recommended online). Problem solved!

Dave is so smaaaaaaaaart! 

Nearly spit out my hot chocolate over this one!  LMAO!

WHY do you encourage him??? 

\

Thanks everyone for the suggestions..  i'm making a list and going to do one suggestion at a time.  Hopefully one of them works.  I love technology but hate it..

X 2 (just had to quote that.....and take it out of context!)

Finally felt strong enough to go to for a short run tonight as I have been fighting the legs since this weekends race.  Still not all the way back but it felt good to get out. 

Good luck to all the Racers this weekend!  REPRESENT!!!

Thanks for checking in on me folks! I didn't mean to disappear, I've just been on a work trip that has included no down time. Now I'm hopelessly behind on the MG, but I'll try to catch up later tonight/tomorrow.

It was really nice to get your notes.
