The Running Thread - 2018

ATTQOTD

During the week I love running early but bed usually wins, meaning I run either straight after work if home early enough or once dinner and family duties are done, so after 8:30pm.

Weekends I aim to be out the door by 8am. If I miss that window it can be tough getting something in as weekends are busy and by the time we’ve finished activities fir the day I don’t feel like running.

The evening runs are only recent and I’m surprised how much I enjoy them. I do need to be careful with what I have for dinner and to not eat the kids leftovers. And of course no beersies or winesies which is good and bad, depending on the day!

I usually run around 11am-12pm during my lunch break. Otherwise, morning. Rarely in the afternoon after work. And NEVER at night.

This is one thing I love about my job. I work from home and my boss is pretty flexible, so I can pretty much go work out whenever it is convenient for me, as long as I don't have a meeting or something (and I don't usually have meetings, I'm not a meeting person). It is one of the great perks of my job.

I recently got promoted and my new job will allow me to work from home two days a week when I finish training, I'm hoping it will start next month. This will be a huge help because I can run in the morning when I am normally driving to work.

I think of breakfast at Boma everyday.

ATTQOTD: It's a difficult decision to be made, but I'm going to go with Cantina Bar Scene. A lot of interesting things taking place there.

 

[Capang]

ATTQOTD: I don't really have a favorite scene. I'm a traitor to my generation and like a lot of the newer films but I don't have a favorite scene. Spaceballs though, tons of favorite scenes.

Slipping in to my bullet-proof vest....I'm not a Star Wars fan, so will pass on this week's Fun Friday QOTD. Totalloff topic but I'm more of Lost in Space fan......

 

[KingLlama]

ATTQOTD: Favorite scene...without giving away any spoilers, the fight scene in Snoke's chamber from "Last Jedi" might be my favorite all-time "Star Wars" scene. Thrilling and beautiful.

Favorite character: The stormtrooper in the background who accidentally banged his head in the control room doorway back in "New Hope".

ATTQOTD: "These aren't the droids you're looking for."

 

[gjramsey]

ATTQOTD: For me, it has to be the first 30 minutes or so of the original. Even though I was 10 at the time, I still remember sitting in awe on opening night from the very start.

I will have to go with Master Yoda as my favorite character.

ATTQOTD:
BB8 is my all time favorite charcter. I love that little guy!
(Porgs are my 2nd favorite! Love them too!)

"Read them, have you?" "Page turners they were not."

I am actually really late to the Star Wars game and just started to like them a few years ago. The new movies have really made me appreciate the whole franchise! (I know SW purists are mocking me for this...)

 

[KSellers88]

ATTQOTD: Uh oh, I am afraid to even answer...I've only seen one Star Wars movie completely...soooo I've got nothing.

 

[Barca33Runner]

ATTQOTD: I'm a huge fan. Yoda is my favorite character. No favorite moment, but least favorite moment is retroactively the hiring of Rian Johnson.

My favorite Star Wars story comes from the original Knights of the Old Republic video game. Incredibly immersive storyline. The first time I played the game it was essentially an interactive 4-day Star Wars movie.

 

[PrincessV]

ATTQOTD: Vader, at the end of his Vader life, Ep. VI. ♥ Warms my cold, dark Sith heart every. single. time.

 

[Dis_Yoda]

ATTQOTD: I think my favorite should be obvious followed by BB8 and Porgs.

QOTD: Morning runners and afternoon runners, how early or late do you run? When do you prefer to run?

Other than races I rarely run in the morning. When I do (maybe 2 times a year) it is almost always on a work trip. I run after work (between 4 and 8) and love running after dark in the summers. I find it extremely peaceful and am surprised more people don't do it. There is no real reason to be afraid but make sure you have lights on.
