oops - wrong number

I see the correct # of the marathoner in the photo: 1107, not 1104. That tells me that my memory is only good for about 3 minutes. (sigh)
More snow, still pretty cold. Off to Syr. Stage at 3 to see "Intimate Apparel" and then out to an African dinner.
Glad the Olympics are almost over; I watched more than I thought I would and most were disappointing. Bode might want to change his name to Bobo.
2 more weeks til we take off for Phoenix where it's 75 degrees and sunny. By the time we adjust, it'll be time to come home - on the 19th.
I have my card that tells airport security that I have a metal hip, but I've heard that some folks get hassled anyway.
That's all for now - happy Mardi Gras. We're supposed to eat pancakes that day so I may hang out at my favorite diner, Ruston's. for b'fast. addio, nance

marathon

If you were running behind #1104, I can see why you made such good time.
Is that you with the ice-pack on your quads? I bet they ached!
Suggest a hot tub after chilling out. I had half an hour in a 92 degree pool at the therapy center thursday - mmmmm - delicious.
Off to see Dr. Bob later; the plow just came to free me.

That's enough with the running! Get a hobby, maybe one with a low risk factor. Old parents can't take worrying about middle-aged boomers. ciao, Mama

26.2 - Check

One more item checked off my "Things to do before you die" list.

I ran 26.2 miles on Sunday.

I finished in 4:08:04 (out in 2:00:03), if you must know. i was happy with the time. 115 overall. If i had been able to do my scheduled training the last month, i think i would have been under 4 hours.

Here are the mile times, FYI

1. 8:50 2. 8:47 3. 8:51 4. 9:07
5 9:02 6 8:52 7 9:36 8 9:00
9 8:52 10 9:14 11 9:45 12 9:25
13 9:40 14 9:24 15 9:27 16 10:08
17 9:11 18 9:58 19 10:04 20 10:08
21 9:33 22 9:50 23 9:55 24 9:55
25 9:46 26 9:50

threading needles

Is that a Zen test?
Like - What is the sound of one hand clapping?
If not, buy a threader.
They come in little sewing kits at your local drugstore.

A 4 hour run

I'm off to Florida on friday, 2/17, for what i hope will be a 4 hour run on sunday. i have not put many miles on my shoes since mid-January so it will be interesting to see how the marathon goes.

my first goal is to finish. the second goal is to go under 4 hours. i think 4:10 - 4:20 is more realistic.

see you

26 miles to go

I hope to run a marathon in 2 weeks. i had some ankle tendon issues during january. i hadn't run since mid-january. i ran 7+ miles today. it wasn't quick but it was without pain. so that's a good thing.

While i'm eating dinner and watching the super bowl, Sean and family is eating breakfast and watching the game in Singapore. it's probably a little warmer there.

Seattle is down 7-3 at half. :-(

the un-winter

maybe there's nothing to say when global warming is upon us. Temps may go into the 50s today, grey skies, all is blah.didn't keep a journal of my january adventure: sorry.could be that mr bush has driven us all into speechlessness or, if we open our mouths, we may just scream; if we write down our thoughts, the NSA may come for a visit.

S.U.s big star hurt himself; they won without him.For any opera fans, Maria Callas fans, i watched a great Fellini movie, "Callas Forever."we'll make it thru the first half of XL super bowl, only because there's a party on Second Street in Liverpool.
