Each Day Is a Gift

Hey, who's the speedy pants now?

Nice job today Smooth. I loved your race report and I was the guy that said hi just before the last turn, you are an awesome runner.

Keep working hard.

Nice run, as usual. Such a wonderful perspective on life.

Yes! Today is Gorgous!!!! Great run girl!!! Nice lapping the ward lady!!! I hope she was 20 years younger than you too!!!

Well, if she was 20 years younger than her she wouldn't be a lady. She'd be like a 4-year old little girl.

Burt! You're too funny. Thanks for the compliment. That "lady" has a 2 year old; so yah I'm more than 20 years older than her...but who's counting!

Clay,

That sure was nice of you to say hello on the Spectrum run. You're so kind. I need to read your report. THANKS!

RivertonPaul,

I love checking out your blogs. It always brings a smile to me. Seriously, you must have a personal secretary who searches high and low for those funny/cool pics and stuff for ya.

Leslie,

Sounds like you're all better from the cold. Are you ready to "spring" into training?

That was just too cool! You are little miss speedy pants! I wish we could make these temps last and last. They are the BEST! What an amazing workout my dear! Does Larry know how cool you are?

Another great run for you, Smooth. way to go.

Wow alot of good miles in there. Sounds like your recovering well. How does she do it.:)

I love your training---you must teach me!

You are awesome! Thanks for being you and keep up with your amazingness!!!

So, now that the push up challenge is over, what are you going to do to keep the muscles? 100 push ups a day???

It was a beautiful day! Your splits look so fast you are going to rock Boston!

Marion,

I told Larry I ran 8 Yassos today. He said: what's that? He doesn't know what speed work is either. That's why I blog 'cause y'all know what I'm talking about.

Dale,

THANKS! Gotta love a day like this.

Mark,

I didn't run yesterday, just core work so the legs got a nice rest.

Kelli,

I'm learning every day. I will do push ups on the day(s) I do core work. Not sure if I'll do 100 every time. May be once every 7-10 days.

Kathie,

Thanks! This week is monster week bebore Boston. I'm so ready for taper. I love running; but the training takes alot out of me. It's still fun though!

Great Yasso's! Are you going to do them again before Boston, but do all 10? If you can keep up that pace you are well on your way to another PR. I hope we have a beautiful day like that also. Did you see your bib # today? I'm so excited now that I have mine. I used it as inspiration on my run tonight.

What Boston apparel are you selecting? There are so many cute choices, and I don't know which one to pick. Do you know if we get a shirt or anything at the race?

Rhett,

That's the plan, I will increase 1 a week 'till I can do 10. Last year I did the last Yasso's workout 10 days out. I'm getting excited. My bib# improved from last year's. by 511, cool!

Bec,

I haven't had a chance to look at them yet. Last year I chose a short sleeve top (red) and matching shorts (black). Yes, they give you a tech shirt. I also bought the jacket (from Image). It's a very good quality jacket, very pricey but well worth the $$$. This year Image isn't making them; so I'll have to get one from Adidas.

Yes,, they give you a tech shirt as part of the packet. The have a dressing room for people to try on size. I like how they're gender specific. Look at my avatar on the left, that's the shirt they gave out. Rhett had his on in his avatar too. I love it. I wore it to races. People who have run Boston would recognize the unicorn logo (on my left upper chest).

Oh, I wore my Boston race outfit at Spectrum 10K this year. You can check out the "uniform" from my pics at Zazoosh.com. Adidas make good quality stuff, so you can't go wrong with any of them.

I am so amazed at your monster week. You are making me exhausted just reading about it. It makes me want to push hard to be able to qualify for Boston just once in my life.
