April - RUN GHOULIES RUN!!! (Page 14)

Sounds lovely!

Today is stairs day for me. Toting things to the attic (I figure about 15 trips there  x 52 steps and plants down stairs, About 20 trips there at 26 steps). Hopefully a run in there sometime but we will see. I have some friends coming this evening for some serious laughing on the porch time.

Have GREAT days, all.

Dang! Those plants are HEAVY!

You two rock!

I got a teeny run in.

I had a less than exciting day today.

Bought my son a pair of dress paints, and a pair of dress shoes to wear to my brother's wedding next month. Bought my daughter 2 pair of shoes.

We went and got groceries.

I took a nap.

I lost to my son in Monopoly.

I got 30 minutes in on the trainer. I could tell I haven't ridden in awhile, I couldn't get comfortable in the saddle.

Paging Iron Neal!

Paging Iron Neal!

I read on CNN that tornadoes ripped through Iowa last night. Are you ok?

Good morning Ghoulies!

I just got back from a mile and a half walk with the pups. I took them on a loop back through the fields, and then we end up on the road for just a little bit to come back home. I love to watch them run and play.

This afternoon my son and I are going fishing. He asked me if I could make something quick for lunch so we can get going as soon as possible. I think he's a little excited to go.

I can confirm that he is okay! Haha. He never mentioned anything about tornadoes...

I first read "tomatoes ripped through Iowa last night" Hahahaha.

Had a great time yesterday celebrating Larry's brother's birthday. Good visit. And we took both dogs with us and they behaved very well.   YEAH!!   LOL

Hi Ghouligans. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Weather here has been terrific, relatively speaking. Got a nice run in this morning, although had a creepy moment towards the end. Saw someone coming up behind me on the other side of the road. Guy on a bike (not a biker, but a guy on a bike. no helmet, scruffy clothes, backpack, beater bike) He slowed down and was riding parallel to my run. Creepy grin on his face. Must say the HR spiked a bit. Fortunately, I was close to a neighborhood and popped a sharp left. He kept on going, but I was a bit nervous. I listen to my gut. 

Key now is to get back on track with weekday workouts. Hoping the job will settle down a bit and I can get into a rhythm again. 

Hi Kim!!!! 

Yuck!  That is so irritating in more ways than one!  Good luck with them.

Yikes!  I am glad that nothing came of that creep.  Do you carry pepper spray or anything?  I don't but I have considered it.

I do carry pepper spray on my fuel belt for longer runs that take me out of town and into less populated areas. This was only a 4 'ish mile/in town run, so I wasn't wearing the belt.  Guess I may start rethinking that. 

I did not see ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES in Iowa last night. I'll let you know if I do though.

WOOHOO!!!

Glad you were able to get away from the creepy guy.

Hi ghouls. I'm beat. Another 15hr week done. I'm attempting to study developmental peds right now...trying to pull through...ya...

Going to have to be creative with when I do my long ride this week and next because I have a wilderness medicine learning day this Saturday and the weekend after I will be in Iowa sans bike. And the day before I go to Iowa I have my neuro final...so ya...So I might be pulling out a thursday long ride this week and a monday or tues long ride next week...and get on top of studying...and ya... 

Don't wear yourself too thin, or burn yourself out.

Ya...I've been re-thinking next next week...I think I will just have an easier 2 weeks...I'm racing a du the first weekend of May when I get back...

We will see how it goes...I guess a few more days recovery isn't going to kill me...haha Then I will be less tired and cranky in Iowa...haha. I'm sure someone will be happy about that hahaha
