<p>Also walked 3.5 miles - on a bike path. It was easy - flat as a pancake! (But certainly better than nothing!)</p>
<p>MOWC:</p>
<p>Wait, this means Birthday wishes are in order! This must be the big FOUR-O. And, I bet you don’t look a day over 39. :)</p>

<p>My usual 5K walk/jog at dusk this evening. Gorgeous weather. 75 degrees. Blue sky. I wore my new high visibility tech shirt to keep from getting run over. An iPod pocket the right hip of a running shirt is a great idea!</p>
<p>Now, it’s time to hit the shower and then chow down on left over flank steak and spicy brocolli slaw.</p>
<p>Way to bring it, MOWC, especially after the previous long run!</p>
<p>4 1/2 mile hike today. Very pretty, very enjoyable.</p>

I’m impressed, MOWC!
Had some good walks with the H & S. It’s nice having H in town for 3 whole days (long weekend). 
Our grillout was Sunday to avoid the rains which finally fell on Monday. It was the best menu ever: gazpacho soup, grilled chicken, quinoa, and GRILLED PEACHES. You take large peaches and cut them in halves or even quarters (these were huge). Toss with olive oil & sprinkle with cinnamon & curry powder. Grill until they have those nice grill marks. Put in a bowl to cool…juices will flow…it’s like peach cobbler but with no crust or added sugar!
<p>Awesome job, group. :)</p>
<p>My birthday is the 12th. I was still fast at 40. That aging thing wasn’t going to happen to MOI! :}</p>
<p>My house guest from Las Vegas (female, 54) works out but doesn’t really run. She ran 32:27 which is under a 10:30 pace, I think. That included stopping to tie a shoe.</p>
Congrats, MOfWC, and happy upcoming 39th birthday! Yup, reaching 39 always means a new age group. Been there
mommusic - grilled peaches? OMG, I’m drooling! I just cleaned my grill and sighed, because I will not get to use it - I will be eating hotel crap food for the next few days… 
However, when this assignment is over, I will be grilling my dinners in Maui! Can’t wait. Under the inflence of the resident CC hikers,I I bought a book on Maui hikes… Prepping myself for the Kalalau adventure. I wanted to do the hike alone, but Mr B said that he would hide my car keys and wallet, so I would not be able to get to Kauai!

<p>That looks spectacular!</p>
<p>This was a pretty big race. 1627 finishers in the 5K. I was 3/47 in the age group and 131/859 females. Not bad for an old geezer-ette!</p>
<p>Grilled peaches. Swoon! H made homemade ice cream last night (I made the mix from his old family recipe). We put fresh peaches in it. My daughter and I say it is “fruit and dairy”. It is SO incredibly good. I use lowfat milk and cut the sugar a little, but there is still the Eagle Brand and the evaporated milk…</p>
<p>MOWC, I think the one I just signed up for is supposed to be a pretty good size. There’s a recommended hotel for those traveling. :eek:</p>
<p>For the outdoorsy Apple fans… I’m testing this as we speak:</p>

<p>20 more minutes to go in the sink. The underwater video taken by the ATT SA with his iPhone in this case convinced me to give it a shot.</p>

Happy early birthday MOWC, and great race time after a 17 mile run! I just came back from taking my son back to school. At the last minute, he decides he needs new running shoes, so we go to a running store, and all this talk about running skirts and dresses was a very bad influence on me. Even though I have no idea when I will run again, I bought this:
[Wonder</a> Girl Dress by Skirt Sports](<a href=“http://www.skirtsports.com/shop/product.cfm/id/1203-Wonder-Girl-Dress#.UEVVM0RtSwk]Wonder”>http://www.skirtsports.com/shop/product.cfm/id/1203-Wonder-Girl-Dress#.UEVVM0RtSwk)
It’s cute enough to wear as a non-running dress, and I got it on sale so I figured, why not?
<p>Blank, I think your body will be producing additional endorphins, knowing it’s getting to wear the Wonder Girl Dress. :)</p>
<p>Blankmind- you will love the Wonder Girl dress. I have several and I wear them all the time as casual wear. I’ve even worn them to work with a blazer. I have run in them, but I like being able to wear a different sports bra like you can with the Nuu Muu.</p>

<p>idad, now that you’ve lost those few pounds, are you planning to increase your carbs? Or are you going to stay on the very very low-carb diet?</p>
<p>Cult cheese, eh?</p>
<p>Ragdoll cat tucked his head under my chin just as I was about to get up for my 6 mile run, so I bailed. Managed to eventually get up and did 2 just to keep the streak going. I really needed this “off” day, anyway, and the humidity was simply awful. Tonight I have to go to driving school (don’t ask…) so no more running today.</p>
<p>It’s wet here so it looks like a treadmill day. It wasn’t a good weekend exercise-wise outside of weights on Saturday. Sunday was about recuperating - some sore spots from the weights. Monday was looking for a bed for son’s apartment and then bringing it over and assembling it. It wasn’t a lot of work though it was a little awkward. Power tools make life a lot easier.</p>
