Well tonight I deliberately slowed down, I have been having motivational trouble by the end of the week so I was thinking if I slowed it down, and took it a bit easier I might have more gumption for the weekend. But I have to say that it was not fun, I wanted to run faster and at times had a hard time holding back, I also didn't take any anti-inflammatory  meds. tonight and my knee was a bit achy, not bad... just annoying.

That freekin doll looks so realistic its haunting! Nice miles Lori, be careful out there!

Thanks, Walter... Is haunting a good thing for dolls???

From walter on Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 13:02:46

Yeah as far as dolls go for sure yes. If I was a kid though I would have to make my parents hide it from my room. Too spooky. lol

From Metcalf Running on Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 13:30:22

I have had people tell me that dolls are spooky or they creep them out. I have never felt that way... I think it's funny to hear it. :)

When I was a kid, my parents had to lay all of my dolls face down or I wouldn't sleep.

Ok- your "slowing down" is not so SLOW!!! You need to post your lap paces. I'd love to see them!

When my oldest 2 daughters were around 4 and 5 years old I sent a photo of my daughters faces to this company that did that and when they sent me the dolls, they were hidious. I was too afraid to give them to them for Christmas but did it anyway and it scared the crap out of my oldest daughter when she saw it. I had to send them back for a refund. Funny huh? My grandmother was into collecting dolls and has quite the display of old ones.

I didn't have alot of dolls as a little girl, but the ones that I had I loved alot, never got creeped out by them, and I was sure they came to life when I was asleep. Like Toy Story. Neither of my daughter have liked dolls too much, but I think my youngest granddaughter might :)I bet your grandmothers has a fun collection.

From walter on Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 22:45:46

Yeah she had quite the collection. I have no idea what happened to them or if they are still in her house up in Grandview, Washington. She passed away 2 years ago.

Marion,

I just have a little timex watch that I run with and I don't know how to do the lap pace thing. Don't tell my husband but I know that he got me a garmin for Christmas LOL he used my email address when he ordered it online. I didn't have the heart to spoil it for him. So after Christmas I will be all techy like the rest of the bloggers LOL. I hope I can figure it all out. I'm not that good with gadgets.

YEAH!! I love "surprises" ;) You are going to LOVE it!!!

a tip I just found on the blog, when you are typing in your entry, Sasha has a pace finder at the bottom of the menu on the left, you can type in your time and miles and it will compute the pace for you. I don't know how long it has been there, but I just noticed it a few weeks ago.
