Nibbs XXIV (Page 73)

I generally see gray squirrels-really puffed tails-in the city. In the woods I see brown squirrels-not so puffed tails.

I am going to crash as well.  I am meeting a friend for an early morning lap swim.  see ya' round.

Sounds like the problems I have when the cats sit on my computer.

Jen - did you see the new project I found for you?

it's a present for Kristen

It's very cute.  I wonder when Kristen's birthday is... 

hmmm, trying to remember - I think it was during the summer, July maybe?

G'night!

nighty night Jen!

Morning!

Pam, I hope the orthotics make a big difference for you.

I heart my pool piglet.  He's awesome--even when I know he's going to kick my tail the next few months!

Morning Nibbs!

Kristen - so you liked your 'gifts'? - LOL

Pam - enjoy your run, I hope the orthotics work great!

Hi Judi!

Artemis - 2008-09-18 8:58 AM Morning everyone!  I ran this morning. Does that mean I get to take a nap before work?

I vote yes - only if I can take one at my desk before I teach at 10. And I didn't even get up to run!

That's the beauty of teaching.  You can close your door and no one needs to know...

Unfortunately, I should actually get to work soon so I can figure out why I didn't get paid.

It also means you can take a few days off from running

Good morning Nibbs. 

No water here at work.  They are moving our water meter.  Can we say yeah for public bathrooms without water.  Do you think anyone reads the signs that say no water.  Nope!  Ugh!

I wish.  I get tomorrow off, then 18 miles on Saturday, then I'm off 2 days before it starts up again next week.

My legs are very confused about the new dedication to running.

This will be your first full marathon right?

Yes.  I'm getting scared of being able to do it and run fast enough.  I start around 8:30 and have to make it 19 miles by 1:45.  Should be doable as long as nothing goes wrong.  I'm just getting nervous about everything...long runs, what I'm going to wear, do I take my fuel belt.

It's definitely harder than I thought.  I'm hoping it's easier the next time should I decide I want to do another one because I'll have a better base.

Haha... I was freaking out soooo bad before I "ran" my first (and only).  The training even almost had me depressed because of how slow I was going and how sore I was.  The farthest training run I got in was 18 miles, so I definitely didn't see how I could go another 8.

Turns out, that race day was the most fun I've ever had at an event.  I still think about it just about every single day.

What are the stops like for this one?  I haven't seen one that didn't have plenty of fluid and food, so a fuel belt might just be extra junk to carry around.
