I haven't run since Saturday so today I thought I'd feel all refreshed and ready to go. That was not the case. My shins were so tight and took all three miles to warm up. This cold 60 degree weather is killing me.

Avg. pace 8:49

Anybody else having issues with the blog and not having all the entry options available?

The blog thing appears universal. As far a being not as sharp as anticipated after some time off - I had the same thing happen to me the other week. Just keep at it!

From Chad on Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 12:15:36 from 168.177.153.27

60 degrees? Frigid!

From RAD on Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 12:19:53 from 76.27.16.189

I'd kill for 60 degrees in the morning.

Nice job on the miles and pace despite not feel 100% up to it.

Yes, I'm grumbling about the blog options as well. Oh well. text it is.

Chad - I've been battling a hamstring injury for most of this year. I had to stop twice in the first half mile to stretch it out.

Other Chad - I know! That's why my muscles wouldn't warm up!

RAD - Twang! And can you believe I had to type out the word degrees? It takes forever!

AZDM - I read your blog, and I agree. It is beautiful out. My problem is, I'm rarely serious, so the times that I do want to be serious, people don't know that I am.

From AZDesertmonsoon on Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 13:56:01 from 204.17.31.126

Well my daughter thinks it is freezing on the way to the bus stop, so you never know, lol.

From ACorn on Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 13:59:43 from 68.66.168.22

Here you go Burt, you can copy and paste it now 60°.

From Burt on Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 14:10:54 from 68.14.209.26

AZDM - my daughters think the same thing.

ACorn - Thanks for doing that for me. You may have saved me from some serious carpal tunnel.

Burt,

Hi.

This is from my blog entry yesterday. So it is good to know that others are having the same issues with the blog site. Do you think it will ever go back to the way it was? Hope all is well.

Something is different with the way this information is posting. In the past, when I right clicked, the paste option would not be visible. The only way to paste was to use the command CTRL V. And the data does not post correctly regardless of how the information is pasted (Paste Command or CTRL V). Is anyone else having a similar experience?

Also when I select "Edit" for previous posts, the data appears to be in HTML format. In the past, it initially appeared that way but then converted to text that could be edited. Now the data remains in HTML format.

It used to be that I could highlight text within this blog site and edit font size, color, etc. Now that function does not seem to be available. Is anyone having similar experiences?

From DaleG on Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 23:25:48 from 152.216.11.5

I've never fiddled with all the blog options, so I don't even know if they will work for me or not. I'll try it tomorrow.

Too bad about the tight hammies on your run, Burt.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 13:56:27 from 24.18.125.122

The formatting menu is gone for me too, but good riddance :) Now the blog entry screens work on my android browser and I can still write in html to format the text.

Nice accidental upgrade Sasha :)

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 13:57:45 from 24.18.125.122

Oh, and nice run in the frigid cold Burt.

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 14:06:10 from 152.26.59.252

I never noticed the blog options, but that may be that I haven't been on it in a week.

Glad you got a good run in despite the tight legs. Hey, "your legs are tight!"

That's how the kids around town say it.

From Rye on Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 18:29:35 from 174.27.83.149

You are tech savvy and I am not. I live in Idaho when 60 degrees is short and tee shirt weather! I guess that makes me tougher than you.

From PRE on Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 23:13:43 from 99.50.213.11

Burt -

Hi, the blog site now has the entry options available again!!!

From april27 on Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 22:52:40 from 99.188.251.180

Yesterday I was able to blog on my iPad..not today :(

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 23:22:58 from 24.22.239.183

It would be cool if we could turn those formatting tools on or off in our blog options.

From Burt on Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 18:45:10 from 72.223.91.148

I guess I can start blogging again now that it works the way I like it. Haha! Just kidding. I'm back from the Vegas Ragnar. I'll write a report...sometime.

From RAD on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 15:35:08 from 98.202.23.178

wow...you just showed up on my lone faithfuls list....

You'd better get blogging again!

From Burt on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 16:25:34 from 72.223.91.148

I've noticed that whenever someone updates their profile information, they get on the Lone Faithfuls list.

From Steam8 on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 21:35:09 from 166.70.55.77

I hope you don't get hypothermia Berty!

From Calvin on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 21:38:41 from 66.182.67.156

Lone faithfuls list doesn't mean much anymore.

From Brent on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 23:29:52 from 66.7.127.67

Burt, how many layers? keep those buns warm.
