Little bit late but I ran a half marathon this Sunday morning. Just getting movement back in my knees now 10 hours later. Actually it's been a fantastic weekend- yesterday I watched one of the last displays of the beautiful, majestic Vulcan bomber XH558. She looses her airworthiness certification this year so the last flying Cold War V-bomber becomes a museum piece again. Spent the whole 13 miles thinking about how lucky I was to see her one last time. The roar of those Rolls Royce Olympus engines still makes my spine tingle.

Congrats on the run, and the experience. Need to make it past 8 miles. Love seeing airframes shown off.

Cheers, I only started running in January and before yesterday the furthest I had run was 10k- my advice would be JFDI - sign up for a 1/2 marathon and go- you'll manage the last 5 miles on the buzz of the event.

I have been working on it... Started with a 5k two years ago, a 10k last year and a 10 mile target this year. Two knee surgeries have impacted my ability to get down and do it; SWMBO has mandated that I will never be allowed more than a half marathon.

That is why the half next year will be followed by a sprint triathlon.

Train for the bike to run transition... Damn near killed me I'm my first sprint tri this year.
 
Thanks. They have a sprig super sprint I might do as a trial - 3.5k run, 8 mile bike, 300m swim, I think. No timed transitions, too. Training wheel tri.
 
The sun is rising into a cool and partly cloudy late September Sunday morning. Looks like it's going to be another beautiful day.

The wife and I will be starting it with a breakfast of eggs, sausage gravy, home fries, and biscuits. After breakfast I'll likely spend a couple of hours working on my MG, or maybe stacking some fire wood. I haven't decided yet. Then I'm sure I'll watch the Bill's game, and maybe even drink a few beers.

All in all, it is looking to be a typical lazy Sunday here in Western New York.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable Sunday!

:mug:

Work 6 hours, maybe just 4.
Brew a blue moon clone for the wifers.
Clean my desk.
Write my new sponsor child from the Phillipines, Lorelei.
My first sponsor of 9 years, Jocelyn, graduated in July.
 
Definitely gotta clean my desk some more. Gotta put away some more bottles to make space on the fermenter stand for a 2 gallon pail I'll be brewing gallons of malt vinegar in soon.
 
Good morning all, and aren't we an ambitious bunch today. Finally rolling out of bed and off to what might be my final baseball day of the year if we lose two games back to back. I am not saying that i see that happening, but stranger things have happened.
Have to hustle and get dressed or i wont have time to stop at dunkin doughnuts on the way.
I hope everyone has a great day.
 
Starting off slow this morning. Big brewday yesterday.

I could tell you about all the things my brain thinks I'll be doing today, but instead, I'll tell you all the things my body will actually do today.

First:
 
Bed shopping. Would never have suspected a mattress could cost up to £11k (about $16700) apparently it is hand stitched and made from the wool of lambs that have only ever been washed in perfume.
 
Don't forget it was probably sewn together with the raven tresses of virgins.


My sunday is going to be lazily spent. We just had a minor blizzard last night, so the odds of a plane coming in today are low. Best part is, i'm unionized, so I get paid regardless.
 
Just rolled off the wife then fixed the kids breakfast. Gonna have a shower then breakfast myself. Then it's tarp the boat shed for winter for a deep north winter. The wife wants to move the bedroom around to better suit her. Then 6 gallons of cider will be started then some beers and relaxing.

Slainte
 
Since Saturday ended with me getting called into work until 4:30 this morning, today's plans include catching up on some sleep. Slept for about 4 hours, then went to son's usual hockey practice. Nap for a bit shortly, go to kids birthday party from 1-3, then watching football, having some beers, and then brewing up a few things that I planned for yesterday.

Let's hope today's plans don't get screwed up...
 
I am disappoint.

The weather is refusing to cooperate so that I can see the full eclipse of the super-moon tonight. I was gonna set the camera up last night, for positioning & whatnot, but it's been rainy & cloudy all weekend and isn't supposed to let up until Tuesday.

I am enjoying the cool days (finally!) but the next full eclipse of the super-moon won't be for another 18 years... and really, my chances of being here then are dropping dramatically with each passing year.
 
This Sunday morning finds me up early. Our 1 year old grandson spent the night with us last night. :D It's a bit cool in the house, so I started a fire to warm things up a bit.

We had diner at my mother in laws last night and my folks are due here for breakfast in a couple of hours. I don't really like to share the boy that much but the great grandparents get to see him even less than we do.

The day will be spent chasing him around, at least until someone younger gets here to take over. Then I'm sure grandma and I will need to relax the rest of the day. I'm sure there will be at least one football game on, and the annual Fall Foliage Festival is wrapping up in town today. Likely we won't have time for getting there before it's all shut down and a muddy mess, so I'll do my best to talk the wife into skipping it again this year.

I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday!

Early morning, nice cool air, if a bit damp. Coffee poured, car packed. Going to pick breakfast burritos up on the way to the parking lot. Tailgating to bring in about an hour!
 
Landscaping part of my back garden so that I can move the garden bar down on to its own hard standing before the winter. Coffee and bacon butties before the hard graft should see me through.
 
Working again this Sunday morning. Later it will be cleaning house & trying to get ready for company. I've got about a weeks worth of cleaning to do & less than 24 hrs to get it all done. "Hey we're going to be in town tomorrow, thought we'd stop by; we've been planning this for over a month, but didn't tell you till the day before we get there." :smack:
Hope your day is better than mine. Regards, GF.
 
Unseasonably cool here in Florida, I"ve got all the windows open for the first time in months. Got up early to have breakfast and a pot of coffee. Got a ton of chores done yesterday so I don't feel guilty about taking today as a day of rest.

May get out on the motorcycle to enjoy this great weather, or I may just lounge around all day.
 
Everton v. Liverpool and then Arsenal v. Manchester United.

Keg of dry stout.

Sunday morning.
 
Making breakfast in a bit, then gonna try to get my son's ice skates sharpened before his first hockey game of the year. Right after that, driving out to the in-laws for an October fest party to drink beers, eat some wurst, and watch football. Enjoy your day guys!
 
It's nice and cool this morning. Looks like it'll finally be dry, too. A nice fall day shall be enjoyed.

Starting my day hovering over my coffee, and enjoying some Cab Calloway. I feel like I may actually accomplish something today, so I'll go ahead and say that I'll make some Italian bread, keg a brown ale, and do some garden clean up. There may be more, but no sense psyching myself out before I even begin.

Enjoy your Sunday, all.
 
This Sunday morning is starting off clear and cool. The weatherman claims it's supposed to be another nice October day. I'll likely spend it cleaning up from a small party we had yesterday, cleaning up the shop after finally getting my MG's motor back in and running, or maybe I'll just go cruising on my new utv. We'll just have to see. Later we are off to spend the afternoon shopping for the grandson's first birthday.

But first I need to get my poultry fed, and some breakfast made. French toast and bacon sounds about right!

I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday.
