You are too sweet. I am so grateful for this little community we have created here that is so supportive in all aspects of life, not just running. While I still have no power at home, late last night my mother's power came on, so we all packed in the darkess and drove over to her house, my mother-in-law in tow as well. It was a joy to sleep in a warm house. So we'll stay there as long as we need to. Of course that comes with its own issues as well. We don't want to leave the pitch black house without a car in the driveway at night for fear of looting, so we left my hubby's car, and I have to drive him to work in the morning. If school resumes tomorrow, I'll also have to drive the kids to and from school plus my own work commute. Ordinarily, all that wouldn't be a problem, but we're trying to conserve every drop of gas after waiting on gas lines for 5 hours this past weekend. But at least we have somewhere warm to sleep and shower now. And Lil Jill C LI (Elissa) had a wonderful and memorable 11th birthday. Thanks again for your generous offer.
Knees-about the same. Hip is just horrible. I thought the break from working out might do it some good but NOPE.
That really stinks. Stretching? Ice? (You could stand in my house and get a whole body ice treatment at once! lol)
As for me, I ran 5 miles yesterday. As I passed a gardener who was picking up branches and debris with a huge plastic garbage can, he unknowingly picked that moment to pick up the can and swing it around full force, hitting me square in the thigh. OWWWWW! I finished my run but geez is it sore today.

Yikes. That is awful. Hope you can get tag numbers (safely) and bust this human excrement.
Driver Ed was over 25 years ago for me, and I still subscribe to this theory.
Good to hear from you!! I'm so sorry about your house and your friends/neighbors' houses. As for the Marathon, up until early afternoon Friday, my husband was still coming up.
I, however, was livid about the generators sitting in C Park for the Marathon media tent, thinking of pallets and pallets of bottled water and Gatorade, Power Bars, etc that could assist victims of Sandy. Livid. So, I basically told DH if he was going to NY, he would be going solo. He emailed me that he (finally) thought the right thing to do was defer to next year. Well, duh..... Jill and Lindsay -- thanks for all the help/advice, we'll see you in 2013!!Hi Everyone!
I'm BACK! Power was restored at 3:13 am. It was not a fun 5 days without power/heat but I have to say I had it easy compared to a lot of other folks in the area. We had crazy winds that took down many trees/wires but luckily we did not have the rain so no flooding issues. One small part of our fence was destroyed but that was it. I think the hardest part (other than the cold) was not being able to communicate with everyone. I have gotten very fond of you on this board and I was worried about how everyone else in the area was doing. And to those that are in the area and still have no power -The MINGO MOTEL is open for business--hot showers, warm meals, Sunday afternoon football and plenty of Halloween candy (hubby says discounted rates apply
If anyone needs anything please let me know!
Obviously no workouts for me other than a little yoga moves, here & there. Oh, and raking -LOTS and LOTS of raking.
Good to hear from you too!!!

Dislike!!
I have not done any running since the 5K on the 27th. I've been lazy -- and now seem to be coming down with a cold. Blech.
I'm looking at a 1.4 mile run through Christmas lights next weekend (Nov 17). The Christmas Lights thing is a drive through, and I bought a Groupon for it this year. Looking at schedule, whatever -- I stumbled over this Dazzle Dash. Sounds like fun, and 1.4 shouldn't hurt me too bad. LOL

Unfortunately, the remaining of my 6-7 miles were polluted with harmful thoughts to this person. It completely ruined my zen running. Oh well, the adrenaline provided me with a negative split the rest of the way though. Love that part.Yikes. That is awful. Hope you can get tag numbers (safely) and bust this human excrement.
Im scared to take those drinks. Do you drink coffee? Is there a immediate high and crash later?It's amazing what 5-Hr. Energy drinks can do to a a person!

I subscribe to this theory not just for driving!
Sorry you're under the weather. The Chirstmas Lights run sounds really cool.

I only drink 1/2 a bottle at a time and only when I'm running 5 or more miles. I don't do coffee/soda so the 1/2 bottle does me just fine. No issues with crasing after.
I DID drink the whole bottle the night of the TOT10M. I was worried I would be too tired to enjoy the Bash after the race. I may have been perky than usual.

We are all adults, just make sure we all make wise choices since all our bodies are different and react differently. There is documentation supporting and debunking a lot of stuff out there. Im not getting preachy, I just dont want to see anyone get hurt. I was taking a lot of Advil 2 years ago before my runs to make it through and then read the effects that it can have on your body. So, I quit taking it and ran through the pain until it finally healed. I dont care if Im sitting at my desk or running, energy drinks have always made me a bit nervous. I had a Red Bull once and felt like my heart was going to explode.
Nick says Run hard... I agree, I say Run Smart too.
Yes it is. Love it.
I couldnt post this fast enough! I knew it would make you smile.

LMAO at Coryna's "energy." hahahhaaa
I've only had Red Bull when mixed with orange-flavored vodka. ::looks around:: Soooooo, good. ::looks around again::
ahem. Back to your regularly scheduled "what did you do?" thread.......
Might have some issues lining up a babysitter for DH and I to do the Dazzle Dash. My 17-year-old niece is unavailable, so I might have to enlist my Mom. I hate doing that. She watched my kiddos all week/every week for the first 2-2.5 years before we put them in preschool. I like to let her have her retirement in peace now. Still, it's only for about 3 hours (if we do dinner too) and Mom did just "escape" a 24 hours+ babysitting gig since we did not go to NYC.
