    When I'm under the weather, feeling not so good, it doesn't take long for it to start affecting me mentally. So I totally get it. But yes, so happy you're getting back on your feet and hopefully healing properly.

    So wow!! The sun is truly showing its stuff down in bayou country today! Yesterday and Thursday were wet and cold but tis a new day!! Welcome back you big beautiful golden circle of fire. (*)

    Jeannie, I think we may have to begin harassing our young Gruff. Seems he thinks he can quit us... However I'm hesitant to throw down the gauntlet knowing he will bring his big numbers and crush us mile-wise! :# Nah, bring it, dude! Lol

    Dont worry you dont get rid of me easily. Just been feeling a bit :( and not doing much extra.

    Upto 259.7 on the bike and its set ready for tomorrows 130mile +. Got a short run in earlier but need a long one tuesday latest before the half so upto 31.4 for now. Going to be well off target for the month but its been a hard one mentally. Cheers for the support.

    Sick of the cold fog freezing my beard in the morning the sky fire would be a nice change. Few months and itll be here for its limited apperance. Your both getting close to the third digit keep it up :)

    lol you guys make me laugh! First of all I was wondering how young Mr. Gruff is so I looked. NO WONDER he passes us by. me at least as I'm a 62 year old woman! ANYWAY I am very happy too have you both with me here at FF....

    It was sunny today. The girls and I headed out for a walk at 41degrees. It was WINDY. I was glad I took my husbands knit thingy that covers your whole head and all that shows are your eyes...lol....I stayed warm...We got in 2.25 miles...

    Good grief Gruff!!! (Ok let me just pause to laugh at that... GGG! I'm so clever!) B)
    But really Gruff, you're just showing off. And yes, we are suitably impressed. Sooooo glad to have you back with us. This next week WILL be better for you! Thus saith the Jes. ;)

    Jeannie, you most certainly are not an old woman!! I absolutely forbid it! The more sunrises I pass, the longer middle age stretches before me. Yes, at 41 I'm happily ensconced in middle age. I say (and therefore it is) that old age doesn't begin until you're at least 80. And even then it can be questionable. A few weeks ago I attended a wedding. The groom is a dear friend of mine. I've known him all my life. And get this... He's 90!!!! Yes! His lovely wife of over 60 years passed away about 4 years ago and he found love again and made it official at 90 years old! <3 And that's not all... His bride is quite the youngster at 78. :)

    So there ya go. A true story that you can't help but smile at. Plus Jeannie, you were an old woman a few hours ago and now you're middle age!!! What a reason to celebrate!!

    The number that makes your "age" isnt more than a way to count rotations of the sun. How you feel in your head makes who you are and only you can decide what you want to do. Yeah im abit yonger than you lovely ladies but we share a goal and a passion to meet our targets.

    Went on my ride found the first half quite windy but grouped up with some others to share the load. After our 2nd breakfast the pace picked up and slowly lost a few off the back. Made it back 45mins before my target feeling pretty good. Rode back home and decide to have a quick run but after a mile my knees said no. 142.6mi on the bike bringing it to 402.3 and 1.1 run so 32.5. Out for a run after work tonight then resting the rest of the week.

    I know, can you believe there are only 5 days left in January?? Goodness... No Gruff, no extras. All of my miles are walked. It has been such pretty weather here and when my boys walk with me, we tend to go longer distances. Also do some treadmill time here at the office. We have a great gym provided for us in the building so I rarely go out for lunch. I tried to be a runner. I really did. I wanted so bad to love it. Ran Cross Country in high school. Disliked it immensely but tried to love it. Then in my college years all those joggers just looked so groovy and lithe so I hit the pavement again. Tried to love it. Hated it. Gave it one more go in my mid-20's before my kiddos came along. This was the final farewell to all things run for me. I'm just not a runner. I so admire runners though! And I wanted to be one of you super freaks for years. :) So now when I see you running like the wind, my hat is off to you! Final answer - If you see me running, you should run too! Something big and bad is chasing me!!! lol

    I'm thankful for you two guys as well. It's been a pleasure getting to know you and trekking miles together. I so envy Gruff his 2nd breakfast!! I love to eat almost as much as I love to read. So that makes staying under 1600 a bit of a chore for me... :s But everyday I make it is a success. And every sunrise is another chance at success!

    The walk/run combination I do is with my dogs. I am not one of those joggers or runners either. With dogs we walk 10 minutes and then jog about 2 or 3 minutes depending on how well I do...lol ...I dont know where December or January went actually :'(

    NO walk today.....did do 7 miles on Exercise Bike....

    Jeannie, you are doing so great! I love your enthusiasm. It's sooooo refreshing in a world of negativity. :) So yesterday I got to hit the weights. Chest and abs day. Felt the burn and it felt good! Also got quite a bit of walking in. Was generally just very busy yesterday.
