Happy VD!
Okay, so band-aids aren't the best for protecting OUCHIES when running......
Do you realize if you have a cadence of 170 and something rubbing your skin, that's approximately 2550 rubs for 30 minutes of running........ OUCH
Snow covered trails in the winter, safe or stupid???
Am I the only one that is weirded out by this weather? We haven't been dumped on and the temps have been really mild. Did those Mayans really know something?
How do people work all day without working out at lunchtime? I'm paying a premium for my gym membership because it's across the street from my workplace!
Just got a note from a few of my participants and they're sore from Saturday's long run! Don't you love it when a plan comes together???????
This week is flying by and I'm not sure why???
1) I sustained an OUCHIE on Saturday's group run. My jock strap wasn't fitting right and I have a gash of missing skin in the area between the buttocks and the other stuff........... I've tried running a couple of times since but it ain't pretty. Now I see why cowboys don't run!
2) One of my running friends was picked in the NYC marathon lottery and now he's trying to get a crew to go with him. Didn't we just talk about how expensive racing has gotten? Although I did receive an email from a gentleman inquiring about exchanging homes with other runners in different cities worldwide. I think he's from Nigeria????
3) I'm beginning to think that we may not see any sub-zero run days this winter (sad face). How can you toughen up these newbies without a crazy cold day????
Peace.......

Just got back from the gym and it is clearing out a little from the Resolution crowd.
Why would a guy that is bench pressing 335lbs ask me to spot him?????????
Have you ever been in a gym where guys are grunting to left the entire gym? Why don't we grunt to run faster????
We had a friend attempt the Rocky Raccoon 100 Mile race this past weekend but he bailed because of stomach issues. This is like the fourth friend to DNF at 100 miles....
Should I be getting new friends???? These people are crazy........
Being a year older doesn't feel any different, TODAY!

I wasn't going to post anything about birthdays until I read Racing with Babies birthday post! We're born on the same day!
We could be twins if not for the extended period of labor her mother would have gone through.............
Okay, no new age group or significant number change. Just another glorious day to be on this earth!
Everyone raise your glass, cheers.........
On a side note:
Registration for the 2012 Bank of America Chicago Marathon closed in record time today as the maximum 45,000 participants signed up in six days for the 35th anniversary event. Demand to run the iconic race has increased significantly in recent years, closing 25 days faster than the previous record established last year. A decade ago, the 2003 event closed in 35 weeks.
Also, here's a photo of the kids.....

Finally, we can get rid of all the New Year's resolution people at the gyms around this country! I have actually driven to the gym and noticed how packed the parking lot is and just kept going......
If the lot is full, I can only imagine how crowded the locker room is going to be....
(Random thought alert)
How can you use the restroom facilities and leave without flushing, that's nasty? You're an adult with a job!
(Random thought ends)
So by the end of January a lot of folks have fallen off the healthy wagon and I can have my gym back.....
Is it just me or do you feel like being a regular gives you Carte Blanche at the gym????
You know, like trying to get the same locker each visit or the staff knowing your first name.......
(Random thought alert)
Who spits out their gum in the urinal with the splash guard in it, that's nasty? You're an adult with a job!
(Random thought ends)
I think the Denver area is getting all the snow for most of the Midwest this weekend, so we're looking at another glorious weekend in the mitten state to be outside.....
Peace

In an effort to get through these winter work weeks, I am officially calling this Friday Eve from now on!
TTFE
1) I am committed to taking a spinning class at least once a week. I went yesterday at lunch and my legs were wobbly for the remainder of the afternoon. I love when the instructor's playlist has at least a few songs that I know. It makes me push through those tough spots.
2) I'll be volunteering for an inaugural SuperBowl race on Sunday. It's with our local Hanson's Race Management team.I might be in charge of the half-time show featuring a few tunes by Madonna. I've already told them that there might be a few BEvERages on the course........
3) I know that a lot of you have your 2012 race schedule etched in stone. So have you committed financially for all of them or do you wait? Would you invest in a years worth of races up front for a discount? We have a race circuit that uses that format but it also forces you to their set of races. Would you do the same thing for other activities?

I have a chance to run with my Tuesday drinking group, since the temps were in the fifties! Running in shorts on January 31st in the mitten state........... Now I see why people like the left coast or the south!
Why is it when people see a large group of individuals running in an urban area as a group, they ask why we're running?
I love to tell them that the police are chasing us or the people up ahead stole my wallet!
What's the strangest question you've gotten while running???
Peace........
