27:30

Not bad considering I only started running again about 2 months ago. I also didn't really decide to make the run a 5K until about 12 minutes in when I decided I was feeling good enough to push my stamina past the 20 minute limit where I normally cut out. I used to have it in the 23-24 minute range without trying too hard. I'd like to get back to that pace if I can.

That is a good time for a non professional ;). It is hard to get on a treadmill and not challenge yourself to run fast, but I try not to run every day (way too easy to injure myself as I get older). I find that the fastest times I will run are when I compete in 5K races, rather than on a treadmill.

yes. Yes. YES.

Ugh. Please stop posting the flightmemory stuff. I've avoided doing it for this long, I really don't need to do it. But ya'll are tempting me with these stats.

Here's what mine looks like (from memory)

YTD Miles: About 130k BIS.
Times circled around the earth: does taxi'ing around EWR count?

Flight time: does Penalty Box'ing count? (a real PB, not this)

Longest flight (hours): DCA - LGA during a snowstorm
Longest flight (miles): MUC - EWR
Longest flight booked, but didn't get to take: JFK - BKK :mad:
Shortest flight (hours): TYS - ATL
Shortest flight (miles): BCN - ALC. Or maybe ATL - TYS
Highest degree of torture: MCO - EWR (6am)
Highest degree of stress: Flying on a JK MD80 2 hours after one crashed

Number of times I've connected through IAH going home where I actually made my connecting flight: 0
Number of times I've :rolleyes:/:mad: at US: 9234089234082349872134

Worst trip: Popeyes-gate 08
I should have made a left turn in: ABQ

EUAs: not enough ;)
BF concierges that actually did something: 0.

Money given to the PANYNJ for parking: the GNP of Namibia.

Hello box ,
I just woke up from a 6 hour nap , woke up feeling ill today with a fever and sore throat.
I did manage to add a nice flight this weekend to my FM:
BLD-GCN

Good morning !! :D

I'm bored and someone elsewhere asked the question for top 10 favorite military aircraft and I figured I would share here too. I came up with this list:

F-4 Phantom
P-51
B-17
A-10
ME-109
F-14
B-1b
F-4U Corsair (WWII)
F-86
Mig-29

It's a wee bit biased towards the US, but there you have it.

good morning :D

Belynych you get my vote for post of the day. I set up my FM and need to add lots of flights soon.

Just got done taking BL JR to the dr. She has a massive ear infection which explains her discomfort on landing last night but dr. says she'll be good to fly wed. after some good antibiotics and numbing drops.

Jason Taylor leaves my favorite team for a "contender," and the Dolphins are contending. :) Best turnaround ever!

I'm a huge P-51, F-86, and A-10 follower.

My list would probably look like this:

North American P-51
North American F-86
Messerschmitt Me-262
Focke-Wulf Fw 190
Fairchild Republic A-10
Lockheed Martin F-16
McDonnell Douglas F-15E
Saab JAS 39
Sukhoi Su-35

Thanks*. Although I have to admit a factual inaccuracy. The money I spent in parking at NYC area airports is actually higher than the GNP of Namibia. :rolleyes:

In other news, I'll give anyone that can find 2 tickets to someplace that meets all of the following requirements all of my CO currency (enough to get you sufficiently snockered on a few flights):

• Average daily high temperature at or above 75 degrees (F)
• Spend at least 4 days/3 nights there
• Depart on or after 12/28/08
• Return on or before 1/4/09
• 2 people
• Max flight price $450 per person
• SkyTeam preferred, but not essential. No Spirit. Or US.
• Depart/return to the same NYC airport + HPN

ETA: No MCO


*I'm guessing you were referencing my above post. Unless someone has Pandy Reterson'ed my name.

Thank you for giving me something to do on a slow afternoon.

No, no, thank you.

More rules:
If I get more than one good proposal the tie-breaker will be to the itinerary I deem better.
I generally consider locations with swimmable beaches nicer than non beach locations.

As a consolation prize, in the event of multiple entries, I will send the other person my CO Platinum Elite, highly valuable bag tag stickers!

You mght like two videos I have of F-4 Phatoms.

Side by side take off

Fly over and landing

ewr-msy 12/31-1/4/2009

698 on CO.com. Am I missing something?

Another rule - I'd rather not be in the air or on a rental car shuttle at midnight on NYE. (e.g. I'd like my arse to be on the ground by 10pm if flying on the 31st).

Another prize -- to the winner, I'll also send you a highly coveted picture of the Canuck wearing a blame Canada shirt. Priceless!
