Morning monkeys!

Looked at a house yesterday, and the home owner said "Don't touch anything" She wouldn't even let me turn off any lights. I think if she could have figured out how to not let me touch the floor, she would have.

Moar office today. Anybody vibratin' anything we can monitor?

Be safe out there.

Morning.

Excited it's finally Friday even though I have nothing special planned for the weekend. Probably just going to be a few days of relaxing and getting some stuff done around the house (maybe).

 

[Pesqueeb]

I've run 21.4 miles this week, my feet hurt. Stepping lightly around the ramp folks today.

 

[jonKranked]

spiderman sez: gotta get down on friday.


made dough for homemade pizza's tonight. have finally figured out how to properly use the convection setting on the oven, but haven't gotten many recipes converted for using it. Just pizza. which is really all that matters, that sh*t cooks up perfect in about 6 minutes.

got growlers last night. gonna growler challenge tonight. Scotch ale & oatmeal stout.

 

[eric strt6]

getting ready to roll out on the short bus again. black ice conditions this morning, oh joy

 

[stoney]

Breathing & working. Today is the last day of work before a week in SoCal. So much crap to do..

 

[Ride Monzie]

I'm on the bus to work where once there, will try to do as little as possible until 17:00. At which point I leave and prepare for trying to get to Uhwarrie on Sunday.

'Morning, MONKEYS! Holy friggin sh1t....WAKE UP!

I'm wearing my REI wool jacket and I'm still cold in this office. It's making it tough to type. Wife is out of town for the weekend, which means I'll probably do a lot of the same stuff I'd do if she was home.

Good running, 'Squeeb!

 

[Nick]

Good morning.
It's supposed to snow today and tonight, but be only 4 degrees tomorrow. I may get out this afternoon.

Coffee in hand. TGIF bishes!

 

[Bill in Houston]

Props for the wingdings today, fellas. Trying to decide if it's worth a long drive tomorrow to get to a place that has non-soupy trails. The rain here has slaughtered my normal ones.Y'all have a good one.

 

[insanitylevel9]

that is all

 

[Ride Monzie]

Fail. It's Friday morning.

question for you and the baboon......don't your legs feel dead running that much every week?

Rest days are important, as is pasta.

Must be weird with nubs.

Not at all. The 12 weeks prior to this one, I averaged 55 miles per week. I ran 2300 miles last year, which is an average of 44 per week. 70% of my miles are run at a very easy pace (think "jog"), with the rest being harder miles. Easy miles to build endurance, hard miles to build speed. I've built up to this workload though. Lots and lots of aches, pains, and fatigue when you start running and increasing volume, but your body adjusts. Lots of miles don't tire me out anymore. Lots of hard miles do.

I want qualify for the Boston Marathon, and as training for that goes, I'm currently at the minimum. I still need to build up more. Only about 10% of marathoners ever qualify for Boston.

 

[Toshi]

Yo. Last day of long commute. Might be able to get back on two wheels in coming weeks if it gets warmer.

I think I'm starting to cross this threshold. Training for my first Half was hell, this one is a lot easier. The 10k I ran after work yesterday seemed like the easiest 10k I've ever run, and I'm having a lot less pain/fatigue. I'm still slow, but I always have been and don't really have a lot of interest in doing speed work.

You runner-type people have lost your frikkin' minds.

I blame it on my TBI.

Even without speed-specific runs you are going to get faster. Eventually though you'll max out in shorter distance races (i.e. 5K) without speedwork, but you've got a long way to go before you reach that point.

I ran my last marathon at a faster pace (8:36) than my first 5K (8:52). Those two races were 18 months apart.

 

[Serial Midget]

Only 6 inches of snow yesterday and maybe we'll get 2 more today. So much promise, so little delivery.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Ice storm about to hit here - maybe. Just got Heckler back after shock and fork maintenance, wheel true and tension - one day turnaround.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I don't get how some dudes can miss the toilet when they take an office dump. It's a pretty high percentage shot.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Storms moving in. Tumbleweeds are in full migration straight down taxi ways Gulf and Hotel.

Best I could do with an iPhone.

Trapped in the corner underneath gate 11:

Tried to take a video but I can barely see anything and I know where they are.

Tumbleweeds answer to no man!

Airport ops is out there right now actually, not sure what they think they are going to accomplish. Same guys couldn't even catch a Pug that got loose last year.

Edit: The wind is really picking up too.

Looks like the folks I interviewed with the other day are checking my references, good sign. Also got an email that a company back in Virginia wants to talk to me. I would really like to get back to C'ville.

One summer while in college I helped run a campground a friends family owned. We had a cleaning lady to take care of the bathrooms, but she called in sick one day so it be came my job. I was ****ing traumatized by what I saw in the women's room. No wonder women use the restroom in groups, lack of emotional support could lead to some kind of PTSD.

 

[bean]

It was sunny until about half an hour ago. Wind and really low clouds have moved in quickly. Maybe we really will get some snow.

Just a normal work day for the most part. I had to get out of the house for a while, so I'm working in a coffee shop.
