LazyMarathoner - 2009-01-07 8:57 PM I'm at the bar in pig tails with paint all over me having a beer. After all, I'm worth it

Who doesn't love a hawtie in pig tails!

Must be the whole school girl thing

Hi Robert. Is the weather any better? Where in Quebec do you live? You have to be pretty tough to withstand those winters I imagine.

Hi Team!

well I got 4 more miles in on the dreadmill - was supposed to do 5, but life got in the way

I need to get faster so I can fit 5 miles in at lunch time

It's more than i got in I wanted to run 6 or 7 today but was a little under the weather. Oh well. I had a more than interesting day.

Yeah the weather is nice today. I live in Quebec, Quebec ... yeah we're original like that here. The province and the city have the same name.

The temp is cold here, it can get to minus 30C/35C during winter and that's not counting the wind. Last winter we got around 18 foot of snow

But still, I can't convince myself to run on the treadmill, I always run outside. I just love that.

I totally would have run outside today, but it was sort of a time management thing

probably doesn't make much sense, but when you run over the lunch hour - every minute counts

Yeah I hear ya, I try to run in the morning so I don't have that problem on lunch hour. I prefer to go swim on lunch time, but the pool is only opened monday, wednesday and friday so I have to arrange my schedule around that hehe.

I just finished a 45 minutes trainer ride to start the day, now off to work.

Have a great day team

I'm soooo, not a morning person, plus I hate running in the dark - so lunch time seems to be working for now

I was really good about working out in the morning - I had a training partner and that made it much easier to get out of bed cuz I knew I'd be in trouble if I missed

Just finished a 7.25 mile run, my longest since the marathon. It felt so good. Of course the carpy weather is on the way so it will likely be my last outdoor run for awhile. I'll do some abs later. Slowly chipping away at my goals!

Now I'm off to Brooklyn to paint some more.

Nicely done Kristin!

Lets go grit, today's the end of the first week of the challenge. Lets push to get something done

Go Grit go!

Robert, I think you are officially the team cheerleader

He's right - let's go Grit!

I have 9 miles on tap for Sunday - egads!

Alright team Grit!!!

I got a 14.68 mile run in today.  My farthest yet.  Marathon training.  Time for a nap!

I wish I was a morning person too.  I try to be but my workouts aren't as good.  Especially in the winter when it's cold, dark, and slippery.  Robert is one tough cheerleader!

I just ran to the pool, swam a bit and ran back home for today's workout. I will go read a bit and then open a bottle of red wine

Have a great day team Grit!

Wow, I can barely drive that far at this point! Nice!

The red wine sounds fantastic. I decided to give my poor liver a rest tonight so have one for me!

WTG!  Congrats on the run!

You are a tough cheerleader!

Awwww, and here I was hoping we would have virtual drinks tonight

I might need to reconsider. I think I hit rock bottom today

I see you honored the rules of the December challenge and put the sig line in. I, um, seem to have forgotten to How's it going?

Yeah, not because I wanted to.  It'll accidentally disappear soon!

It's snowing.  Life sucks.  Wine is flowing.  Makes life better.  How are you? Any painting today?  

Geez, that sucks!  Sorry to hear it.   I think you need a trip to the spa!  Or somewhere warm with a cabana boy!   Relax on the beach for a few days.  

Hope tomorrow is a better day!
