I need to get some more miles in.  I didn't even crack double digits last week.  I did have two races though.  Anyway, no excuses.  As the slogan stolen from the late great prophet Spencer W. Kimball goes, Just DO IT!

I definately prefer associating that phrase with SWK. Nice job getting out.

Nice start to a new week! Speedy :)

Chad - I also hear Yoda was patterned after him.

RAD - thanks endurance mama!

Get in gear!

From Burt on Mon, May 23, 2011 at 15:11:33 from 206.19.214.144

Pretty early comment April. You better get your inbox oiled, because here it comes...

From april27 on Mon, May 23, 2011 at 15:14:30 from 165.138.243.1

I know. I was being bold! By the time I check my email tomorrow yahoo will have exploded!

From The Quiet Pirate on Mon, May 23, 2011 at 15:30:12 from 152.26.59.252

Um...I think Nike has a trade-mark on that saying.

And then there's the heckler in Waterboy..."You Can Do It!"

Maybe your trademark could be Do It Poo It!

JFDI = just flipping do it

Good slogan. I myself have been partial to Nancy Reagan of late("Just Say No."). But not a problem really as of yet...I could chill for a few more weeks and still put together a base and a 16 week regimen for October 15th Marathon!!! The truth of the matter is I have yet to stick to a schedule for the entire training period. I need to be more dedicated.

From Burt on Mon, May 23, 2011 at 19:38:32 from 206.19.214.144

Nancy Reagan's Just Say No. That is rich. Good one.

From Burt on Mon, May 23, 2011 at 19:40:04 from 206.19.214.144

Chris - that's been gone for about three months now. Since you are busier now that you are out of school, I'm not going to give you a hard time about not noticing it before.

From flatlander on Mon, May 23, 2011 at 21:52:35 from 207.88.181.2

I know you'll do it.

From runningafterbabies on Mon, May 23, 2011 at 23:20:40 from 71.195.219.247

We should have run together today. Some day instead of the random "pacer" on the Garmin, you'll be able to link up with friends and virtually run with them.

From artichoke on Mon, May 23, 2011 at 23:49:20 from 97.126.188.226

Didn't Nike steal that "do it" slogan from Spence?

From Burt on Tue, May 24, 2011 at 00:09:29 from 72.223.90.79

QP - how about doo it?

Mark - Thanks for the positive reinforcement.

Melody - have you a patent pending on that idea?

Choke - I believe they did. The Church should sue. Then maybe they can lower tithing down to 9%.

From SlowJoe on Tue, May 24, 2011 at 10:38:08 from 184.79.24.255

I like the sounds of commitment in your voice..er, writing. I think someone said running 6 days a week was the way to get faster, not sure where I read that.
