Turkeys and Santas?

You guys are doin' turkey trots, right? I think I'm gonna sign up for one in Williamsburg... have yet to ask Saa if she'd like to too! woooooops.

I marked the Jingle All the Way 10k on my calendar (Dec 13th). Aaaaaany interest?

sign spinning at MCM!

from the washington run report:


The Marine Corps Marathon has partnered with AArrow Advertising Northern Virginia to add an exciting 'spinteractive' element to mile markers along the 26.2 mile course. Traditional static mile markers will be replaced in nine locations with sign spinners, who will be performing with the nearly six-foot long arrow-shaped signs, bringing color, energy, and movement to the mile marks. Read the Press Release.

this is gonna be fuuuuuun! i hope they play the "BOOM KING" song from Flight of the Conchords that they do when Bret has the sign holding job.

november race idea

This is a weeee bit in advance but I found this race happening on a Sunday in November in Glen Burnie! Thought it might be fun to go visit Sara and do a run while we're there. eh?

I can't find where it says how long the race is! I think it's a 5K.

Brrrrr!

A vote for the ice bath! i think it really did help me recover quicker from our long run on Saturday. At least i seeemed to be grunting less than Rachel was, haha! (tho i didnt do any crazy lunges and skippyhop dances last week like you, man!)

SO GLAD IT'S LESS HOT THIS WEEK.

If'n Sherbet shows up tonight, I'm fixin' to run 8 miles before Lynn's. harr harr yeah right. Okay I'll do it before work tomorrow! Or... sometime!

half marathon this weekend! bangeraaaaaaaaaaaanggggg!

Hee-eeyy-eeeyyy, IIIII'MMMM, Wooaaaaa, I'm Still ALIIIIIIIVE

I did the 20k and didn't die! Go me! Lynners still beat me though. I've gotta catch up to that rat fink! I'll spank her ass by the time we get to the R'n'R halfer if it kills me! Gregoreo wasn't as speedy as his usual self, he had some bad tummeh cramps and wasn't feeling so hawt. Still, he kept up a 7:42 mm pace, so nothing to sneeze at!

Get any runz in whilst in Maine, R? (remind me to tell you about the Rachel-brand cottage cheese I bought today! ) I'm kinda wondering wtf i was thinking, signing up for that 8K on Tues so soon after this long race. hope i'm recovered! My new shin splint in the other leg is mighty owchy. iceiceice.alevealevealeve.

Aber, I missez you! Even if you're gonna defer, we should still do some runs! I can't remember if you said you wanted to still do the army ten miler. You can just focus on doing thattaone in your most bangeranginest way!

OH AND. I have a purple toenail. Iz a big bruise under it and the nail is kinda pulling away from the bed. owzers. am i a REAL runner now?

I changed it up a little

So I was just telling Elizabeth, I changed the schedule for myself a little - today I ran 11 miles (OWWW IT WAS HARD) and I'm not planning to run tomorrow - since I have to work that movie in Bethesda tonight, I'm prob not going to be up for getting up rill early tomorrow to run, and also I have a lot of baking to do before the par-tee (btw Eliz! I forgot to ask, do you mind giving me & zp a ride?).. Also I'm concerned I won't get my long run in next weekend in Maine, so I went for it this weekend.

Sooo yeah. that's what's up. My "weekly progress" thing in logyourrun.com is definitely showing a bunch of those red bars saying I'm breaking the 10% rule! I can't help it! I'm not even making the mileage I'm supposed to, according to the schedule.. last couple weeks I've only managed to get 2 runs in during the week instead of 3..

Anyway how did the track thing go this morning Eliz? How was the gym yesterday AmbER? mmkay gotta go get ready for WORK. on a SATURDAY. >:-[

see you guys at Sara's tomorrow :)
