I just switched from the 20 miler to the 10 miler for this weekend's race.  There's no way my body's ready for a 3.5+ hour run, no matter how easy I do it.  Now I can race the race -- woo hoo!   I came in 6th at the last 10 miler the day after a duathlon, and this time I've taken Thurs and Fri off, so hope I place better.  I'm excited now, rather than a nervous wreck.  Yay!!  And this way I'll still be able to run the last week of Feb. and hopefully exceed my goal. :D

GooooOOOOO SCISSORS!!!! 

Great job guys....taking today off and doing the 10k tomorrow.  Supposed to be better weather.

This team ROCKS.  I would have never done this well in Feb. were it not for the Scisssors.

Thanks Guys and Gals

Mercer Island half marathon and 10K on March 9th   

Good luck tomorrow!!

SUX x2!!

Of course, that means no family to distract you from your run   Oh yeah, bad weather.  SUX!!

Great decision -- and running a 10 mile race isn't trivial either!  Certainly is a different strategy though.  Good luck, and I hope you exceed 6th place!!!

Good luck and have fun!!!!

I ran three miles today...and will probably be swimming in my home over the weekend. Supposed to get a really bad storm....lots of wind, too! Allyssa...I know you said that tough chicks run in the rain...but do they swim in the rain, wind and cold? and Jen...you put that whip away right now! I am not going on that naughty list...Steve can go there for me!

Beth...did you get that bottle of whine wine open yet? I now am probably a glass..almost two ahead of you...and three hours behind...since you are on the east coast and I am on the west....shameful on my part...being such a social drinker!! thanks for giving me a reason to open a bottle!

Jen...thanks for all the drive bys...you are such an animal on the bike...I am so thankful that I am not in your AG...you are going to kick all the girls in your AG's butts...with your skinny butt!

Steve...can't wait to see your baseball team pics....and I will times two on Allyssa's saying you are a hottie firefighter...I really never understood if all the really good looking men had to be firefighters...because I used to work at a school that trained firefighters and believe you me....there were some very nice eye candy....YES INDEED! I work very closely with firefighters now doing all the events downtown...and again...definitely great people watching material! oh yeah....maybe that is why my DH hangs out at all my events! hehe

Scott..have you seen the news today of the Durango stores that blew up? thought that was kinda crazy....I can not think of where Durango is...is that the four corner area? near utah?

Susan...way to cut back on your miles of running in your Snowman Stampede this weekend...go get em! you are gonna do great! look forward to the race report.

Felix...man oh man....talk about our everready Venezuelan bunny teammate with scissors! he never stops...take a break Felix...you deserve it....and so do those legs!

Hector...I am wondering if you forgot to buy your wife that coach purse and she has done away with you!! where are you hector...last time you stopped in you were taking the wife coach shopping....did she get the purse? maybe you are out drinking bear again! or on that island at the crusty sealion bar...time to come back and play hector!! and I am still waiting on my piece of Julian pie! mmmmmmmmmmm....

Stacie....hope that you are feeling better....take care of yourself and feel better! I am sending good vibes on the DH possibility on a better QOL....that is always a good thing! GOOD VIBES...GOOD VIBES...GOOD VIBES.....GOOD VIBES...keep us posted! I will be waiting with great anticipation!

Frank...our type two words and disappear, Frank. Glad to see that you are running like a good emoticon with scissors would...kiu and hit that 110%...plus, I think next month we should have a challenge just for you....how many words can you type in one month...My guess would be 20 MAX...and to think that you are just the opposite in person....things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Allyssa...my twisted blista-scissor sista....did you get the VS shipment? Please PLEASE PLEASE promise to not have any fashion shows for the DH....we know where that may end up...hehe! I have a great inspire for for tomorrow.....you will see that you have no need for the six shooter or the pepper spray on your runs....have I peaked your interest? make sure to remind me if I send another! I know you will get a kick out of it...so, here is your warning to not have your coffee in hand when reading it!

Nicole....you are a trooper to do those very brisk and cold runs...be careful, though...especially after we read what happened to that other poor girl. You are another one that I would hate to race against....my goodness what are they feeding you kids these days! 

JoAnn...my dog still loves your dog....oh, and good job on the runs...you time has improved...and so has the distance..kiu...before long you will be running in marathons!!

Erin...you are our silent scissor that just never stops working out...kiu! you are doing great. Hope to hear from you more...we promise to be nice....and I will make sure that Jen keeps the whip put away!!!

and last but not least is our  KONNICHI WA  to our scissor brother located in Japan...he's another very quiet one! Plus, very VERY quiet on the ole log frontier....hope that you are getting all those runs in...hope we hear from you...jaa mata my friend!

OK...I am now on glass three of wine...and I am supposed to go to the yacht club for dinner...no it is not some uppety place....just a bunch of yacht and sailboat owners who get together at a clubhouse and barbecue, drink more wine (I am in trouble...) and socialize...with more wine! we usually ride our bikes...but it supposed to rain...so, we  the DH is gonna have to drive...I am already over my limit! hehe....have a great evening all...hope the end makes sense! if not....well, hopefully you understand! it is not just me talking but a bit of the gnarly head wine...

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK TEAM...I love this team! thanks for all the encouragement...I am very close to the 35 lb weight loss...VERY CLOSE...and could not and would not have done this without your support! so THANKS TEAM!!!

Cheers! Check out my pretty new glasses!
