Runners in Space! Check-in Three

[calico_jane]

Greetings all,

I hope everyone had a good weekend/long Easter break (delete as applicable). On to this weeks check-in...

Mileage

calico_jane - 11/20 = 55%
thalia - 18/80 = 23%
blnchflr - 11.4/20.5 = 56%
silveraspen - 0/20 = 0%
ridicully - 38/150k = 25%
meri_oddities - 65/110 = 59%
linaelyn - 28/75 = 37%
ell - 88/185 = 48%

ilanarama - 63/150 = 42%
temve - 74/150 = 49%

Total: 412.4 - 42% of target

Which means that we've taken a break in New Orleans (and got a lift a little down the road...). Currently we're in Marianna, Florida which has the somewhat optimistic nickname of 'the City of Southern Charm' and is close to the Florida Caverns State Park. We won't be visiting, as the caverns are currently flooded.

This week's bonus soundtrack, take your pick of Marianna, by Johnny Mathis or So Long Marianne, by Leonard Cohen. Please, someone let me know a more cheerful song!

Also, welcome to liv, who joins us as a supernumerary this month - target 25 miles, currently at 10 miles - 42%

So nearly 26 days on the ISS - and time for more from My Favourite Astronaut:
wringing out a washcloth on the ISS.
important safety procedure, no, really.

I continue to undershoot my running mileage this month, but I did have a nasty, coughing, sneezing, I-can't-breathe head cold, so I'm kinda ok with that.

12 more miles running, for a total of 40 this month.

4 additional hours of other workout (biking around for all my grocery & banking errands-- a separate goal for Earth Day!) for a total of 14 hours this month.

Ahahaha, I read this as biking around for all your baking errands! Then I was envious that you had actual baking errands, whatever that might entail.

(In other news, I've beed experimenting a lot with strawberry rhubarb pies lately. And how to decoratively design the top crust. I have hit upon the best idea for the next one. I shall be making the Pie of Sauron!) I thought you might appreciate that! Also, next month, we should totally run through middle earth!

[linaelyn]

I think the biking to Farmer's Market to get croissants and pain au chocolat ought to count as a baking errand, don't you?

You and I need to stop sharing a brain (or you need to stop snagging the NSA's data on me, one of the two!). I have been seekritly researching how we could make a run from The Shire to Mordor on Google Maps... but it was SUPPOSED to be a surprise! Also, as I read this comment, I am NOMMING the rhubarb cobbler I made last night, because I have been experimenting with all the rhubarb recipes lately.

[ell]

I've only been doing rhubarb-strawberry, but I can totally branch out now that I have the ability to create my own pie crusts! Omnomnom!

(I am sorry for inadvertently spoiling the surprise, but I am UNREASONABLY EXCITED about running in Middle Earth, so much so that I am considering weapons and costumes that I could actually run with. And resurrecting my lembas recipe and playing around with it some more...hmmm...rhubarb lembas?)

[linaelyn]

You are a complete nut job and I love you.

[linaelyn]

Also, one does not simply walk into Mordor. ONE RUNS THERE.

YOU WIN THE INTERNET!
