Lame-o

I've procrastinated so far… I'll figure it out tonight.

Staying arrangements

Good job Mannie and Carl! Matt and I will stay with you guys for that one night.... We will share the cost. Please let me know if someone else already asked to take you up on the offer. After that race, if we decide to go camping or whatever - Matt and I have a nice tent. Or if you guys want, you can stay at our apartment and we could try to rent the "guest apartment" for $40 if some of you guys want to stay there for the night.

Please let me know so I can make arrangements if need be. Camping or just staying in Rapid?!?!?!

Hotel

So, if Carl and I book a hotel room, does anyone want to share it with us? We were thinking about the Quality Inn in Spearfish and the rates for two queen beds compared to one king is the same, so we could reserve the room with two and fit a few more people in there with us. Would help with the cost too, looks like $122 a night. Let me know what you guys think!

Hotel

I vote hotel. I think Carl and I will look at them and get something reserved this weekend. Not sure where.

Decisions...

I agree with Mel, we need to figure things out! I thought we should probably get some hotel rooms for Friday night and then maybe camp saturday? I really would like to sleep in a bed before the run... just saying. What do you all think?!?!?

Vacation days?

Hey all -
When are we traveling out to the Hills? Should us worker folks plan to take Friday off or Thursday+ as well? Any thoughts?

Any other thoughts on hotels, camping etc? We should decide soon!

Happy National Running Day!

Twitter is important because it tells me about important things I would never know otherwise. Including National Running Day!

And apparently there are 10 ways to celebrate. I thought there would be just one--you know--running. But 10!

Glitch in my left Nit-ch.

Okay the title is kind of far out there… I don't care!

I'm still chugging along with running/power walking at my noon hour and do some weight lifting in the evening.  Basically turning into a stud (notice the non-modesty in this post C:)  The person that is motivating me the most in Brookings right now is Tim, the SDSU equipment manager.  He walks like a mad-man at a crazy incline for an hour.  So along with Grey's Anatomy and Tim, so I'm getting my miles in… even if it is getting to be a lot of walking with an occasional mile run.

On a side note: I went to see the athletic trainers yesterday.  My knee has swollen and is continually stiff from the moment I wake up to bed.  The result - tendinitis!  I'm doing some strengthening exercises for my hips and legs/knees.  I also I get to take ibuprofen tablets… a dozen a day!

I'll see how it goes.  But not going to lie… the runs are not that enjoyable right now.  Praying for a newborn knee.
