Making coffee and staRting my day should let me finish work early and get outside for a while before dark. Right?

Hiya pals!! I've got another half marathon tomorrow that I got peer pressured into running. I'll be taking this one easy though and not going balls out race mode. I've got to run 18 miles total (the race is 13) so I'll get there early and get five miles done before the race. I just need to finish the race in under 2:15 so I earn a fancy schmancy train whistle. The race starts at the same time as the steam train. Beat the steam train back to the finish and you earn a whistle. If all goes according to plan, I should finish with about 40 minutes to spare.

Good Morning!!!

A beautiful Fall day out there...the band I play with has a show this evening, and it's one of those things where we could play outside on the patio, or inside. Probably going to be about 50 deg. by the time it ends at about 11, so it's close to being too cold, but not really...decisions, decisions...

Pumpkin carving at cub scouts last night - hauled butt home from work, swung by the grocery store and snagged a pumpkin...got there in the nick of time....cut the top open...rotted pumpkin. Fail.

It was salvageable...the top was mush, though. Tried to put it on after carving everything and it just fell through with this "splat" sound as it hit.

Nothing like going in to a weekend knowing that next week is going to be worse than this one. Better make this weekend count.

My first 'cross race is in a week. I've been thinking about riding my bike a lot lately, so I should be fine. :rolleyes:

Take her with you?

Morning! Rain's gone, chilly morning here. I shall be able to do a bike ride this afternoon before it gets dark. The leaf raking season is almost here so I'd better work on my shred-o-matic device improvements, soon.

Morning Monkey.

Adventure drive this morning through the woods to the chiropractor to start my day. Should be good, just need a little more light so I don't clip any wildlife. Got meds yesterday, see how they do. From what the doc said, they are pretty weak, but should help. All this talk in the PAWN forum of opioid addiction has me all sorts of :tinfoil:

Lets all be safe out there, ok? Happy Friday.

Yay Friday!!! It is getting cold out there fellas. I finally got around to putting the cleats on my new FiveTens; those non ventilated shoes should keep the toes much warmer than the other shoes.

What is up with the gas prices? It cost $50 to fill my roller toaster's tank this morning. We're up to $1.20 for a liter of 87. :brow:

Seems to me that Vietnam would be a great place to celebrate an anniversary...

Another crappy nights sleep. Woke up at 2:15 to the wife's snoring and the old dog pacing , he needed to go out. Never did get back to sleep. Heading off to a horse show venue after work. Taking the bike with me for a night ride or two.

Tomorrow will make 21 races this year, 7 of which have been half marathons (my favorite distance). Only three of them are what I would consider big races that take a lot out of me and require longer recovery (my three half ironmans). The rest of them I am usually good to go a couple of easy days after. Like the 5K's and the sprint triathlons...I can go all out when I race them and get right back into training the next day.

:stupid:

Tossed and turned for several hours last night. Dozed off for a bit after the girls left for school. Hard ice in the dog water bowl this morning. Will probably go for a run later.

Bought the wife a laptop for "grades and PowerPoint". Copying over 66GB of pictures from the desktop. Holy balls is it taking a long time.

Seems like you're going to have to make it the best anniversary ever... look, bikes!


*edit*

Just got off the phone with your wife, she says if she can't make it work on her end, you can take me instead! To here please:

And for news in the SB world: I rode the last 3 days, riding with my kiddo tonight after school, and my rad bro & sis in law and their two cuties (7 yo boy & 4 yo grrrl) are coming to spend the weekend with us. We have plans to ride both days and are all pretty stoked. Life is good!
