Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training) (Page 17)

Eh, it's all right. The job was "better" that my current on in that it wasn't strictly an admin job - I did contract administration/negotiation for an architectural firm - but as the company started going down the tubes, everyone got really a-holish and it became a terrible place to work. So I was glad to be out of there.

Awesome, great job! 43 mph is scary!! :-P

Hahaha!!! 

Hit the yardwork today with the boys, and ran around playing!!  Out for a walk tomorrow.  Good luck Chrissy!!! 

Is it a case of frame too small? The shop was rammed/too busy so didn't get a chance to talk to any staff, will go back tomorrow...

Btw i was trying out a 22"/56 cm frame which seemed to be the largest frames around?

Random stuff that i should probably have asked at the shop but there was literally no staff around :|

Morning all - hope you all had productive weekends! Congrats on the new bike, Steve!

The half-marathon went well (RR is up) - I had no real goals going in except to hopefully stick to under a 10:00/mile, which I did, so hooray The last 2 miles were tough as my IT Band was acting up and there was a headwind. But a fun time nonetheless and now I have a pretty finisher's medal!

Don't forget about the May pink-square challenge - let's see some good workouts this week!

steph94483 - 2009-05-11 12:46 PM Hey kids,
I hope everyone is doing well. May is a crazy, stressful and hectic month, so I'm sorry I haven't been around very much. I probaby will miss the mark on the pink squares, but I'll try to get as close as I can.

I had a 5K scheduled for Saturday, but ended up canceling (it was raining) to take my mom to brunch and shopping, but I did get a short run in first. Then I'm out of town for five days later this month with extremely long days, so that will also take a chunk out of my training time.

So, long story short...training is going to suffer this month.

Glad you were still able to get in a workout on Saturday

Glad your Mother's Day was fun I called my mother, my sister and I sent her a gift. That was all. My parents live 7 hours away.

Morning all - another sunny day here, hooray! Hopefully the nice weather is here to stay.

Got my new pair of custom orthotics this morning - to fix the leg length discrepancy and provide extra support for my right foot (the ankle rolls in a bit). They take some time to break in - about 2 weeks of just walking around in them for an hour at a time, until I can build up to a normal day of just moving around in them. Then I can start running in them - 20 minutes at a time, and build from there.

That's my fun factoid for now Hopefully none of you will ever have to get custom orthotics, but if you do, there ya go

What's up next on everyone's race calendars? My next sprint is on the 31st. Easy course, that I've done before.

Cool - glad to see you guys are keeping busy!

After my race on the 31st, I MAY do one, just for fun in mid-June - one of my real-life mentees is doing it as her first race and she wants me to come do it with her. I'm also doing a twilight 4-Miler at the end of June, another sprint in July, an Oly in September, a running relay at the end of September, and then the Marine Corps Marathon. I MIGHT do another sprint in August, but that remains to be seen....probably about a 10% chance of that one right now.
