    Lise - Ooh! Good luck on the date tonight. I hope the sparks fly for you!

    The last day I ran was Monday. My tubes came in Wednesday (have you noticed I didn't whine this time), but I've felt so lousy all week that I haven't felt like doing anything. Bad belly and sore throat! And - I leave for Canada on Monday! I'm putting the tube in this afternoon and riding tomorrow morning. Can't ride today - supposed to hit near 100F.

    I think my freezer alarm is going off...crud.

    Edit: nope - just an old fume hood. 10 people on that side of the building and no-one checks it. I am the farthest away and I am the one who checks it, turns off the alarm, and reports the malfunction. Go figure. SK - have any spare darts?

    Sorry, no. If I did I would have used it on the screaming baby across the isle - all the way from Dallas to Sacramento. I'm so tired. I need some west.

    She's not a wabbit, after all.

    Fish - I hope you hear good news soon!

    I just went for a run. Wow. That's a lot less fun than riding a bike, but not as bad as I remembered it from my marathon days. Although it turns out dogs aren't allowed on the trail parts of the Dipsea. Oh well. He sucks to run with, anyway. He's got that whole "I'm an unneutered male dog and I have to pee on EVERYTHING!!!" mentality.

    So how are the feet and knees with the pounding? Amazing what hurts immediately on a run.

    The only thing to be said about running is that you burn calories more intensely. If you just want to burn a few hundred calories a day a run will take care of that pretty efficiently.

    That's what I am hoping. Burning some pounds would sure make Death Ride more fun next year.... But I also know I tend to get injured while running (IT band stuff) so I am trying to get into it slowly. It's more a run/walk anway. I HATE running downhill, especially on trails. So I try to run up and walk down.

    If someone catches me in running shoes, I tell them I really only shuffle.
