I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Half day Friday.

2 snickers (they remind me of Rachel), 2 crunch bars (they were just sitting there crackling my name) and 1 peanut butter cup (can't resist).  Who needs power gel when you can have chocolate?

Long run plus 40 mins of Cals.

Ohhh stop it you're killing me! I haven't had anything crunchy in 17 days!!!!!!!

Nice mileage by the way!

I guess I should be more sensitive to folks who are on diets or have to suck their nutrients through straws. :)

Man Alive Mike!!! That is some serious mileage and some serious fuel!!! (Whole size bars or miniature size??)

Seriously ... awesome run!! How did it go? How do you feel?

Very very very nice!!!

Did you guys see this: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ieCBemBbV0IeKPZg_SScPTs6wjHAD948VDVG0

I hope it wasn't one of our fellow bloggers!!! Crazy!!!

After all those miles you deserve all that candy. Were they the minis or the regular size?

Lucia, I don't think we have any runners in Prescott on the blog. I did do the Man Against Horse race there. Saw some pronghorn antelope. Don't think they were rabid.

From montelepsy on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 11:26:09

Teena,

They were miniatures. Someone left a big pot of them by the front door of the building. Dang them.

You could probably lure a bunch of high school boys for your viewing pleasure if you set out some candy on your lawn.

Maybe not candy, when I was a teenager loved nachos with hot fake cheese. If you left fake cheese nachos in your yard, then you'd have to shoo away a bunch of 35 year old filipino men. So scratch that idea.

The run went great. It has cooled down enough to run during daylight. I ran real slow so I still feel good.

Lucia,

I didn't see the article. Pretty strange behavior for a fox. Or pretty normal behavior. I don't know, since I'm not a fox scientist. I do know that I'm staying away from foxes.

Burt,

Rabid antelope would suck. There's no way you could outrun them.

Don't make me laugh, it hurts my jaw!!! Believe it or not, Argentine president Peron created a fitness program for high school girls - they had to go and exercise in his back yard every week!!!

From Burt on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 11:32:56

They would suck, but that would be awesome!

Hmm... it seems I asked the same question Teena did. (I guess I skip over things in parentheses.) Did I just say something? Must have missed it.

From montelepsy on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 11:34:31

I wasted my vote on Obama. I should have voted for Peron. That man's a thinker!

From Burt on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 11:36:52

I can just see the little slit opening in the blinds.

From Lucia on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 11:39:57

Hahahaha! Little slit opening, that is funny! He walked right by them, and invited the girls to take rides on his motorcycle! Or so my mom says... I've always had trouble believing it... But I didn't believe that the elementary school books taught kids to write "I love Peron" and "Peron loves Evita" before teaching "I love my mommy"... until I saw the books with my own eyes... WITH MY OWN EYES!!!

Wow. Is he a president or a dictator?

From Burt on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 11:44:22

!Ay madre mia! Que desgracia este crio de mala leche. Como dijo una amiga mia, "Este viejo solo quiere carne fresca."

From Lucia on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 11:46:48

Ha! I wish it were that simple... He was in the military and became a military dictator first. Then he was elected democratically (though fraud may have taken place). Then he was overthrown and kicked out of the country. Then he came back and was elected democratically again; his wife at the time was his vice-president. He died in office and his wife became president and was overthrown by the military. That's it in a nutshell. God bless America!

From Camille on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 17:24:20

Check you out! You are kicking butt! How's the ankle? (Sorry I'm changin the subject from the dictator talk)

From kungfublonde on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 18:47:08

They remind you of me because I am packed with peanuts, or because I really satisfy? Rawr!

You aren't a fox scientist, but you are crazy like a fox! Sorry, but you left me the goofy rhyming comments, I have to leave something corny for you back.

And remember, you may think Peron is a genius for the high school fitness program, but you have a daughter in high school, and another one who will be there soon. So... not so sexy.

I'm glad your ankle is better. Don't drop a KB on your foot now. You need to be in tip-top shape for lounging around on our cruise!

From montelepsy on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 23:49:25

Camille,

My ankle is doing fine, thank you. Range of Motion exercises still bother me, but I run with a brace and I run on asphalt. No more dirt trails at night for me.

Hon,

You're right. HS girls are not sexy. I hope our girls are never underwear models.
