The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! (Page 12)

I have used Hal's novice plan. It works.  For a *beginner* to try starting their training with a 7 mile run is nuts and asking for injury.  Right now I'm trying to figure out if I can get back on track to train for the half I registered for the end of February.  It's iffy.  The 2 weeks out with the flu did not help.

True.  But I haven't paid for the airfare and hotel.  The race is in Ft. Lauderdale.  I signed up when I had to drop out of Philly cause of my knee.  Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.  Maybe do a nice walk/run then go sit on the beach for the afternoon.  Sounding better all the time in this freaking cold weather. Thinking I better pull up Continental's flight schedule and cash in some miles.  Thanks Bill.

Hey Ghoulies! This must be the month/year for momentus change for the Ghoulie crew. I just found out today that I will have to leave active duty soon and am about to begin my job search. I am not looking forward to this, but there are options out there. Thanks in advance to you all for being a sounding board for all the frustrations and joys to come while I restart my life.

Good luck, Tom.

If I see a Self-Sustaining Millionairre job out in your area I'll let you know!

I just read your workout Melissa, now I need a nap.

WOOHOO!!! OUTSTANDING SWIM!!!

WAY TO GO GIRL!

Ok, I was too tired when I left work yesterday to go to the Y to sit in the steam room. Not sleeping well for a week is really taking a toll on me.

I did take a long hot bath last night with menthol bubble bath. I also had the vaporizer running in the bathroom while I was in there. Just me, my iPod, and a few magazines, it was sooo nice. I should have had a glass of wine, what was I thinking?

When I got out of the tub I sat by the vaporizer with a towel over my head and it, and breathed in some vapor for a few minutes.

I was able to sleep almost all night, in my bed even, without any major coughing fits.

Hopefully I'm on the upswing now and can kick this thing so I can get a short run in tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Dude, that blows.  How long have you been in?  Retire time?  You looking to stay in CA or move?  What rate are you/what are you looking to do?  I can put my ear to the ground out here if you are looking to relocate....

Morning Ghoulies.  Quick glance and see lots going on in the village.  No time this morning to read everything but will catch up tonight.  I swam with the masters crew this morning and am now in a mad rush to get into NYC by 9am. 

Thanks for the update.  We understand that you need your focus to be on you and your family right now.  Best of luck and take care.  We'll look forward to your pop-ins!
