@ddmom0811 I loved your top topless story also
@elise4270 I'm not getting prompts either to help me with screen names. Boo.
@stoshew71 Thanks for the links. I've been blessed to keep running in 50s and 60s cloudy weather but the heat is coming
I'm noticing I'm getting calloused on the tips of my second toes, bc my second toes are longer than my big toes. Ugh. They feel a little sore.
I'm thinking about doing some intervals/fartleks in the morning since my runs lately have all been pretty similar of 3 miles working my way from 10 min to 9 min miles to average 9:30. Need to mix it up a little.2 -
I taught Skip how to figure % by taking her to the store and saying "this shirt costs $20 and is 20% off how much is it?" She loves a good sale. It's also amazing how many kids (and adults) can't count back change, they just look at the little screen.3

trying very hard to keep myself from buying a pair of Brooks Sherpa shorts to try. I really like the look of the pockets....and their 90 day go for a test return policy is very nice1

It's kind of sad how this all came to be due to great intelligence, and to further knowledge, yet the impact seems counter to the desired effect.
How's your Latin, slide rule use and soldering skills?3 -
No students = online shopping and strategic planning of races for next summer.......not good, very very not good.0

Et tu, Brute?
) On a side note this is a good point. Years ago people were saying the same things about the newspaper, and how people won't need to talk to each other ever again to hear news. 0 -

Ah, I actually didn't even go there.
I'm more into dogshaming,com and googling chicken shaming.
You're welcome.

Today I did a 3.75 mile easy(ish) walk because apparently getting back into bowling again after taking a year off did not make my legs very happy. WTF.1

Then you better start practicing "holding it" for hours now.... I think @7lenny7 has the the training routine for that.MNLittleFinn wrote: »Oh, because of timing, and stuff, If I decide to try a full next year, I'm eyeing the Lake Wobegon

5/20 6 miles
I don't remember the last time I updated so I will just mention today's run. I broke a rule and did my longish 80 minute run in brand new shoes. I was very excited to have received my second pair of Newton Kismets in the mail and I didn't want to wait to use them. I think I will definitely only be running for 60 minutes at the most this summer. I do everything that is said for running in the heat but I still just feel awful doing it. I am just hoping to get through the Bolder Boulder without feeling sick.
