23 Skidoo
Coach Galloway called for a 37 K long run today, so out I went into the rain and drizzle - all four hours and twenty minutes of it - and ran 23 miles, the closest that my small imperial measure brain could figure out was approximately 37 K.
The run was nice, but I do so hate wet feet for hours on end...
And according to the Polar S625X, I burned 3,540 calories in the process. Not too shabby a number for Super Bowl Sunday!
Weighed in at 195 this morning, 17% body fat. Guess now I'm closer to 194.
Damn, forgot about brekfast!
23 Skidoo.
I wonder where on earth that expression came from? Any answers, folks?

Definition: 23 Skidoo is an American slang popularized in the early Twentieth Century (first appearing before World War I and becoming popular in the Roaring Twenties). It generally refers to leaving quickly. One nuance of the phrase suggests being rushed out by someone else. Another is taking advantage of a propitious opportunity to leave, that is, "getting out while the getting is good."
Happy trails, Bruce
