Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge Page #2 kcarroll - 2009-10-10 9:31 AM Morning everyone. Got a run in this morning. Stopped a little short of plan as the knee started grumping around mile 5. Decided to walk and cut out the last mile. Am icing. It does this from time to time. Needs an attitude adjustment. Off to run errands. Nice run! Hope the ice changes the knee's attitude! |

I grabbed my D"H (minds out of the gutter now!), and my mom and we drove to see the leaves. Full peak up at Mt Mitchell. It was our last chance with mom since I am driving her back to Fla this week and the weather is becoming icky this week. leaf looking toppage I love pretty leaves this time of year!! |

(I probably shouldn't say that as I am a Buckeye fan and Iowa is going to be tough to play in a few weeks, but I HATE Michigan and will route for whoever is playing them) |

Considering I hadn't swung a club for over 6 months, I'm VERY happy with the 90 I shot, which included a very nifty little chip-in for birdie from 30 yards on 17. Also, I walked the course for about 4 miles worth of walking. I guess that means I won't be running today, but I'll get some miles in tomorrow or Sunday. Enjoy the 4 day weekend. I'd be a lier if I said I wasn't a wee bit jealous. I only got the clubs out twice this year. It wasn't pretty and I definitely was not making any chip in birdies It was only my second time out this year too. Funny thing - this was my second EVER chip in. Hey, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good! Where do you like to play in Ames? I used to play homewood a lot just because it was cheap. I even had a season pass a few years ago. I like the oaks a lot better though. They put in a links course a few years back that I have only played once because its pricey. I still have never played Veekner though. x2 on Homewood for the cheapness factor. It's still pretty fun though. If you get a chance, I recommend Veenker. It makes great use of the terrain, there are a lot of distinctive holes, and it's very memorable. |

Pool. Dinner. that's the plan! in that order. good thinkin' lincoln. stacieb Well, the pool was out. 3:00 meeting ran 2 hrs instead of the one it was scheduled for and that meant aqua-aerobics was in full swing. Grrr!!! aqua-aerobics GRRRRRR. they take up like 5 out 6 lanes in our pool. god bless for moving their bodies, but.....damn them all when it comes to needing a lap lane. sorry your meeting went over. blasted. stacieb I love the rip current they create when they do the circles in the water and you are pushed against the lane divider by their mass movements (literally and figuratively seriously. i thought i was the only one that 'experienced' that. you too? such a pain. but then i think to myself, this just might be good OWS training. LOL. like i said, god bless em.  stacieb Between that and "flipper man" at my pool I'm set for simulating OWS FLIPPER MAN. chuckle chuckle. do you have an older guy that swims laps using a SNORKLE at your pool, NEAL? cracks me up everytime i see em. stacieb Flipper man does like a 45 minute set with flippers AND fins. The waves are horrendous. He was there today. In the lane next to me. Grrr! We do have snorkle guy, but he's there less frequently, and doesn't create the same level of havoc on the pool. hysterical! where these guys come from... god bless em. stacieb |

REST DAY today. i am making a serious/attentive effort to do a chapter in my writers workshop today. i even wrote it my calendar, like an appointment so i wouldnt be tempted to let others things get in the way, like maybe, uhm, i dunno, FOOLING AROUND ON BT! lol. im more of a when the mood strikes me kinda of person when it comes to writing, but i am trying to 'carve out' some time to go through the material in the book i purchased, to improve my writing skills (its a really good book....) so. that's on the agenda. and i need to get to the running store (theres one in Cranberry now, can we all say yahoo!) to buy one of those fuelbelts where you can stuff your stuff into the loops. i figure im gonna need one for tomorrows run since ill be on the trail and not running the road arounds my neighborhood. it was easy to drive around to stash my stuff. when i hit the trail, im gonna be in there for awhile, need to carryin all my provisions. i few returns to make today - most importantly a pair of running tights i bought. brought them home and first time i put them on the zipper got stuck and it wont move. BAH! ill probably need them to run tomorrow, its supposed to be quite nip. and i need to do some laundry, sweep the hardwood, clean the bathrooms (AGAIN!!!) then pizza night w the fam, hang out and just chill. welp. my life wont live itself w/out me in it! so im off! RUN HAPPY EVERYONE stacieb What sort of writing do you do? I'm sort of a recreational writer myself, just haven't had much time with all the training. ah thanks for asking NEAL. i write poetry more than anything else. if i write something longer its usually personal and reflective. actually. when people would read my race reports thats when they would tell me what a great writer i am. cracks me up. i think id like to write magazine/newsletter articles, on personal development, sport psychology, spirituality that sorta thing....but who knows, i might just keep it all to myself too. how bout you? what sort of writing to do you do recreationally, when your not training? Very cool. I have dabbled with poetry some, but I love writing just about anything, which is weird because I am a scientist. I used to love writing papers in college. I'd take a term paper over a midterm exam any day. I've had a lifelong dream of writing a novel ever since I was a little kid. After a couple of laughable attempts i finally have a draft written of something that I would consider trying to get published. It still needs a butt-ton of polishing/revising and I work on it when I can (which has been very little in the past 2 years since I started this tri thing) so not weird. ive met many a scientist-type person that have an amazing artistic/musical/creative side to their nature.... to think that your lifelong dream has come to fruition in the form of a draft, how cool is that. i have no doubt, one of these day, your story will be in print. save a first edition for me.... stacieb Edited by skrtrnr 2009-10-10 3:03 PM |
