.. adding 3 miles ... slightly behind but hanging in there!
Janet: that video brings back so many memories - that was so me 4 years ago in Paris! I’m not too sure I would ever do the Paris marathon again - although having said that the bunch I did it with are talking about doing it again so I probably should not say never. I have dreams of doing NY someday! The fact that it is on in November kind of puts me off though as I keep thinking it might be too cold for me! Should probably try also to increase my mileage above a 10K run also
! Watched a half marathon today and felt a pang of jealously so maybe I am finally ready to start increasing the miles! Best of luck to you in your upcoming marathon!

Two hours in a dentist chair and coming home to a dog that got skunked right before heading into a 62 hour shift and I'm done. This is going to take a few days to recover.2

@belle_74 - I like having a race in front of me because it forces me to train, and because the races themselves are so much fun. I'm thinking about Rome. Has anyone here ever run that? I'd also like to do Tokyo sometime. New York in November isn't normally too bad, but you never know. Last year it was in the 60's. I do Disney every year and it's been anywhere from 32F to 80F so go figure.
@sufferlandrian - good grief! Good luck with your shift and here's wishing you a speedy recovery.0 -
Yesterday I painted till afternoon & then we drove to our lake marina for a board meeting that my husband is on. We spent the night in our cabin. The wall heaters came on & off all night cuz it was 32* out & I coughed & coughed ALL night. Ended up going & sleeping in other room so I wouldn't irritate my husband. This morning I cleaned out fridges & DH drained water. Got home & took a nap till the coughing began so I got up & started painting again. Should be able to hang all cupboard doors & drawer fronts in the morning. I used Benjamin Moore Advance paint. I was told I should clean, sand a little, no priming needed & 1 "maybe" 2 coats of Advance paint. I scrubbed, I really sanded, cleaned AGAIN, painted a coat of primer & have had to do 3 & some 4 coats! CRAZY & long!
I did ride ex bike 13 miles while things were drying this evening.

I’m in for 160 this month, sorry I’m late to the party. I have a 2k target for 2016 and I’m at 1612 - I may just make it.
@Janet - I love the Paris story. It happens and is heartwarming... the video made me laugh. That’s me going down stairs most mornings, thank you arthritic knees. Two from my Running Club have London, Manchester and Tokyo in early 2019 .... 12 weeks, and 3 marathons.... fancy working out the tapering for that schedule. Rome will be awesome.
@vhuber - grandkids are the source of ALL infections. No evidence, but I’m positive that is the truth! Take care of yourself and do try to get through this without antibiotics. (I’m sure we all had this conversation with someone last winter)
@sufferlandrian - hahahaha, painting the livestock! Don’t you just love it. On another note, I still don’t envy your shift pattern
@clepant - I wish my DH would do similar. Tinnitus makes both our lives a little miserable. His because he has it from a number of years of foundry working when he first graduated (a few years ago now
.) You don’t need to guess why I’m a little . Over the summer he jumped at me saying I was getting a little deaf. I said “No Dear, you’re mumbling”. I got my hearing checked to placate him! Almost perfect hearing, apart from a little degeneration in the high Spectrum in one ear. Even that is below what might be expected of someone as ‘youthful’ as me. Oh how I laughed!!

Loved the video and everyone's comments! So nice to have someone take their time to put the blue coat on you after the race to prepare you for the walk to the car/subway/wherever.

Sorry for not posting sooner...0 -
@JTH11706 - I loved the video. I can only imagine trying to go up and down stairs after a marathon! Walking on flat ground would be a challenge, I would think. Good luck on the NYC marathon!
@Just_Ceci - We are still warm too. We will be in the low to mid 90s this week but next Monday, they are predicting our high to be in the low 70s. I'm looking forward to that day!
Not as much movement for me over the weekend as I would have liked. Slept late on Saturday so didn't have as much time for my "long" walk as I needed but I did go out. Yesterday, I woke up at 3:30 a.m. with a bad headache that lasted most of the day. Thankfully, I woke up much better today.
Happy Monday everyone!
