Ghoulies- World Dominion Tour. (Page 10)

He has eaten 1/2 of usual amount.  He is drinking his water & tea.  Yesterday he ate breakfast and lunch.  I don't know if he ate his afternoon snack, but dinner was just cheese & crackers.

Good morning Ghoulies!

Remember yesterday morning when we were talking about how cold it was?

Yeah...

Yesterday afternoon was the Fall Fest at the middle school. Keri is involved in the organization that puts it on, and I volunteered to help. I thought it was in the gym. It wasn't. It was outside on the playground/parking lot. After work I ran home to grab the pumpkins I was donating. I had on a sweatshirt, and grabbed a windbreaker. When I got to the school the thermometer in my car said it was 45 outside, and it was windy. I was outside from 1:30 until 5:00, I was a popsicle.

The kiddos in the MS won tickets to play games by doing different things. At the school they have what they call "gotcha's" teachers/administrators give them out. You can get them by doing anything from getting 100% on a test to helping someone pick up their dropped books in the hallway. They are given out randomly, and for good deeds. The playground was setup like a carnival. There were all sorts of games, there was pumpkin painting, you could make a bracelet, they had popcorn and caramel apples. They had 3 artists from the HS come over to do face painting. Instead of using money you paid for the games or food with the tickets you earned. I was at the prize table. At all of the games you won tickets with points on the back, the better you did the higher the point total. The kids could then come over to my table and trade in their points for prizes. The beginning of the carnival I was not busy, by the end I was swamped!

While we were setting up Keri was outside with her gym class. She, along with just a few other girls, were out there in only their gym shorts and t-shirts. Most of the boys had on sweatpants or a sweatshirt. I took off the sweatshirt I had on and gave it to Keri to put on. They were practicing for the Turkey Trot the school will be doing in a few weeks. She ran a 7:04 mile. Caleb ran it earlier in the day in 5:44. I wish I had their speed.

Anyway... by the time Keri and I got home I was frozen, and she had soccer practice. She changed clothes, grabbed an apple, and her and Donnie headed out the door. I made a pizza for me and the boy, paid bills, and then took a long hot bath. I went to bed mega early then, too. No run for me last night. I will get my log, and the spreadsheet updated tonight though.

I love the idea of Gtocha's! Sounds like tons of fun, outside of being cold!

Your kids are fast. If one of them ones to donate some of their zoom, I'll take a bit

Both of their times surprised me! And the first 3/4 of the run was in the grass, up a hill, along the woods, down a hill, up a hill, across the parking lot, onto the track where they ran 3/4 a lap to finish. Keri finished about 4th total, she was the first girl.

I am not surprised at all.

HEY

HAPPY FFFFRIDAY!!!

Dee, I took your "advise" and got a Gold membership, too.

Good morning Ghoulies!

I'm thinking if I run, and ride the trainer Sunday morning, then swim while Keri is at the basketball clinic, I can have my own little sprint triathlon.

I'd rather look at it that way, than as a brick or anything

Aside from being so cold, what a great event!    And wow!  Keri and Caleb are blazing fast!

Yeah, they don't get that from me, although I did used to be faster than I am now. I remember in my HS days running a 6:32 mile in track practice

once. I will never see that time again.

I was looking at my times from 2010.  I am not sure that I will even see those times again!  LOL

If I would loose the weight, I am planning on beating my times from 2009! One step at a time!

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been a loooooong week.

Good Morning!  We continue to have chilly but dry weather.  I just love that it is staying dry.  DH is still feeling a little rocky.  The chicken soup and cheese & crackers seem to be the only things that don't mess with his gut. 

My plan is a run and a swim this afternoon.  Right now I have the whole afternoon off, so it should work out.  Of course my work schedule is always subject to change!
