The Ghoulies are taking off the pounds in February part 2!!! (Page 15)

ceilidh - 2010-02-20 7:19 AM Today is supposed to be spectacular weather. I am going for my long run today even though I haven't run all week. Then mud wrestling in the lake.

I am doing my long run today too!  No mud around here though, but we do have lots of snow

ceilidh - 2010-02-20 8:26 AM

Come on over. We have mud to share and 50+ degree weather.

disturbed275 - 2010-02-20 9:44 AM

Ahhhh, 50s.  *drool*

kcarroll - 2010-02-20 10:29 AMHope everyone is having a spectacular Saturday.  I ran 5 1/2 with a friend this morning.  Best part is her DH made us breakfast when we got back.  The weather is great for NJ in Feb.  41*.  I have to go to a baby shower this afternoon but am not planning on staying long.  It's in Jersey City, which is just across the river from NYC.  So rather than come home and hibernate as planned, I'm going to head into the city.  Just spoke to a friend who lives in Brooklyn and we're going to meet for drinks and dinner.  Good times.

deehtz - 2010-02-19 7:48 PM Hi everyone!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  I had the afternoon off.  It is blue skies and 60*F.  So I went for 1 1/2 hour bike ride... some hills in the countryside and then flats in the residential area.  Beautiful afternoon! 

Now to shower and then go out to eat!  Have a good evening!

disturbed275 - 2010-02-19 6:32 PM I'm heading out in a few minutes for drinks with a couple of friends.  Talk to you all in the morning!

ceilidh - 2010-02-20 8:24 AM What that means is the lake has been lowered for a few months this winter so people can work on boat houses, etc. they do this every 3-4 years. We have no boat house but because we are at the beginning of the lake- more on the river- we get a lot of branches and things lodged on the shore- 3-4 years worth. So, we get to put on boots and slog through the mud and try to remove all this stuff. It usually results in a couple of face plants. The mud is pure black so it is hugely funny... the first time. Come on down and we'll have a really good Ghoulie pile.

Tomorrow is going to be even better. Same thing is on. Food will be supplied (and drinks of course).

I'm gonna have to wait prob 6 more weeks MINIMUM before I hit those temps...Thats if I'm super lucky...good that I have the back up of moving to Victoria in May if it decides to snow on May 1 like it did last yr!

givemashot - 2010-02-20 12:33 PM Hi Gouhlies. I ran and swam a little this morning. Not a ton, but enough to be able to say I got my hind end out there and did it. The kids were fine (home alone) while I was gone, and the house is still standing, so...quite the successful morning if I do say so myself. My new bike will be here Wednesday. Yay! I probably won't get it put together until the next week, though, when hubby gets back from his next trip. Unless I decide to take it to the LBS and pay them to do it. Hmmmm.

Take it in!!!! You'll need a fitting anyway, so see if they'll give you a deal on both.

Ghoulie Mud Wrestling? Sounds like a blast!

ironannekidd - 2010-02-20 12:53 PM Good afternoon all!

Sounds like some of you are having a great day!!!

I got a short swim in today, 750 meters. My cool down was going over to the warm water pool to swim with the kids a bit before I went and lifted weights.

In a perfect world I would have gotten out to run when I got home, it's 40 here today, which isn't bad for us right now. Instead I checked my email on the way home from the Y and I am at work now

Hopefully I won't be here long and I can still get a run in when I get home. If not I'll jump on the trainer and run tomorrow morning.

Kim - I've seen a few shows on Broadway. I have always wanted to take my kids to see The Lion King, it just has never worked out.

Are we all meeting at Robin's first then heading to Neal's? It doesn't matter to me, I'll bring pizza and wine.
