SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING (Page 81)

Found it:

Studies have shown that drinking a glass of wine a day improves heart health, reduces forgetfulness, boosts immunity, and increases bone density. To celebrate Drink Wine Day, check out a local winery or liquor store, send your friends a virtual toast with a free eCard, or host an impromptu wine tasting! Cheers!

I did google it, because I wanted to see if it was real.  It is.  Incidentally, it is also national battery day.  Batteries need a day?

Does that mean yesterday should have national assault day?

Is that a lawyer joke?  ;-)

Doug, I think you need a rest day.   Said with kindness because I KNOW you normally would not joke about something so serious. 

KYLA IS:

Once again, Steve, you are too kind!!! And I'm only that ^^ cuz I had this behind me the whole time:

Enough with the cryptic love notes, what happened?

Clearly they were "training" today.

JEALOUS, MUCH???? 

DONE!!!

First time ever running the whole mother f'ing Wilderness loop sans walking (I never walk much, but a few walks here and there always leave me feeling defeated). It wasn't fast, but I did it!! Then we ran a bunch more after that (more hills, too). It's all good. Awesome run day. Thanks again, Steve!!

To David, good one!

To Kim, really? me? never jealous when two people are in true trail love.

To Kyla, way to knock one of your goals off the list so early. SHOW OFF!

Playing the 4-pages-of-posts-catch-up game.  How do I keep getting so far behind?  I need to quit my job so I have more time for all of you

Linda, amazing story.  Thanks for sharing.

Kyla, awesome run!

Who's racing this weekend?  Somebody remind me, will you?

David (ATL) if he feels well enough.

David (AUS) if he gets a hall pass from the Missus.

Roni has a marathon in Texas...on some beach or something crazy!

Good luck, Racers!!!  Sorry if I missed anyone. 

Finally got a few minutes to stop by and catch up. OK I admit it, I've recently become addicted to "Words with Friends" and it is consuming all of my "online" time.

Linda you are such an inspiration to me and so many others! Love love love hearing your story!

Kim- please spill all the details of your run training, NOT boring in the least! We want to know your secrets

Kyla- Congratulations fabulous trail running woman! I have been to Wilderness, and if I am ever able to RUN up that trail I will be having a party. Fantastic job on a VERY tough trail!!!

Suzy- I hope you get back on Wisconsin time soon!

Good luck racers!

Sorry to anyone else I missed... have to get to bed to run 26.2 on the sand tomorrow. Looks like it  might be a windy and rainy day, but I love the rain. So, it's all good.

Good luck Roni!!  And that race has some great SWAG!!!

Linda - great story, you're an inspiration! I read your COJ story and I have to say I would have shouted something ending in OFF right in her face, you're reaction was far better; she was a stupid idiot, but remember what goes around comes around, karma catches up with people...

I'm not gonna race tomorrow, I think a long ride and longish run would do more good at the moment, good luck to anyone else who's racing.

I've got 2 bits of good news, 1. My MIL has gone home after staying with us for the past 3 weeks....2. I've bought a new bike!!!! I took it out for a ride this evening and it's GREAT!

Uhm, did you forget something?  PICTURE PLEASE!

X2....I want to know what comes after the Bianchi.

Wow! Way to get started on your 2012 goals!

PS, are we sure that it isn't national drink wine weekend? I wouldn't mind extending the celebration! Now, off to a long run and then a movie and Indian food with my husband! yuummmmmmm

Good luck to all the Racers and Trail "Train"ers this weekend!  REPRESENT!!!

I gotta share how excited I am that I got to ride outside on road tires on 2/18 in Wisconsin!!!!  It was cold, but the roads were clear!  It's gonna be an AWESOME YEAR!!!
