Did Mr. provocative run away from r.r to another board? I wanted to
compare temps from my morning run to see if wussy boy got his pink ass out
the door. It was about +4 this morning but only a little wind. Watched the
sun come up - not much heat from Mr. Sol but beautiful refection off the
snow. It think winter has arrived.

-DougF

+4 that seems a little high, did you get a late start?
I didn't have the pleasure as I had run 3 days in a row and decided I
shouldn't press my luck with my feet.
I had the pleasure of about 9k on a treadmill.

Would it be a "troll" to mention that it was another beautiful day on the
West Coast? 70's F.

Don't hate me because it's warm here.

Yeah, here in LA, another gorgeous day, and nothin' but more of the same
down the pike. My dogs were lying in the sun most of the day.

At the highest point on my run this morning I could see the snow-covered Mt.
Baldy clear as a bell 60+ miles to the east, and Catalina Island 26 miles
offshore.

I am *so* glad my Granddad came here from Boston in 1939! Yeah, I'd
probably be whining like Lance if I was in FreezerLand, too.

I challenge you wussie. I'll beat your time.

Yeah, until the 9.5 plunges you into the ocean.

in nyc's central park it's now 12 degrees with 20 mph winds = -3 or so
windchill.

Was out there with Bob's group running up and down Cat Hill tonight. And yes,
Bob himself was also out there. Late 50s, asthmatic, and he's still out there.
What's your excuse ? Wimp. Get your ass out of the bed and into the park.

i know what my problem is. i have too many options. the way my mind

See, that's the problem -- you've got to stop seeing them as options. Just get
the hell outside and run. Don't ask yourself whether you'll do your run or
not. The moment you start the "decision making process" (isn't the very notion
so Oprah-like ?), you're screwed already.

miles for a spring Thon. it's a huge sports complex. in fact i was
asked to join their new racing team that's part of the new york road
runners. (not gonna do it since i learned i would be their second
best runner!...good grief they're in trouble! LOL! and i would never

For a runner around your level of ability, IMO the only serious choices are
GNY and CPTC. Both of these clubs have several runners at about your ability
level, but also several runners who are quite a bit faster (our top 40+ guys
are about as fast as me). I recommend GNY, but I'm biased.

But yes...the cold weather is kicking my ass. I've got 2 more races
this month and to be honest...I really don't care what happens in them.
It's Mulligan Season. Let me get 35 mpw in in Jan. & Feb and I'll be
happy. Come March I can kick it up to 60-70 mpw for Boston. And
though I did 9 milers on Sat & Sun...I'll be happy getting two 4 milers
in a day or something like that. Let me go and give it a whirl and
see if I can get miles in tonight. It's nice to know you miss me, you
really really miss me. And did you all give appropriate props on MLK
day here in the U.S.? (trolls don't answer...please...I wanna like
you.....not kick your ass)....

Hey Lance - I sympathise with your cold-weather blues. Over here it's
freezing when it's
3C (37F)...

On the other hand - if you want to run real well come Boston time, then
ramping up to
60-70 miles in March is probably too little too late.

Now is the key time to be ramping up the mileage. Just ask Phil :-)

Anthony. (running a marathon on the other side of the pond the day before
Boston).

Damn, I can't run at lunch today so I'm out the door in a few minutes.
Bad news - the current temperature -2F
Good news - no windchill

I envy your weather but not your mudslides. Don't forget, Jean Dixon the
"well known" seer, also predicted that your state would wash into the
ocean.

hmm..sounds quite atypical for LA, where it's usually
a forecast of either rain and smog or sun and smog with
a 20% chance of (pick one): brush fire, mudslide, or
earthquake. Seriously, you guys in LA have such boring
weather ;^)

Vis-a-vis, one never appreciates the warm unless you also
have cold. After temps of 6F and below last week, we're
getting our usual January thaw here in the rockies: 60
today; 4am low was a balmy 35F. Visibility typically 200
miles 🙂 On occassion I've seen it hit 70 before plunging
back to single and minus digits in early Feb. But with
all the alternating cold/warm/snow/mud and melt, there's
no need to crosstrain...

Seems to me the pacific plate is the underlying cause
of most CA woes (that and the eternal ballot proposition...)
So while you may get a few bothersome quakes and volcanoes,
it's actually pushing the state well above sea level 🙂

....with respect (which ain't much) to the queen of
prophetic hucksters 🙂

Fortunately, I've always abided by this rule: Never live downhill from a
clay mountain, or anywhere near a cliff...(or even anywhere near a cliff
bar, which is even more lethal).

You and I both will be worm kibble (or Gator-barf) long before that happens!
