AWESOME!  I love that.

Havin'Fun - 2009-07-30 8:50 AM Taking the kids to the Museum of Life and Science today (a favorite spot of ours).  However, we are stopping at Dunkin Donuts on the way    Funny we were just talking about donuts. 

Sam, I am taking a banana so I don't order the biggest donut they have

Technically I have 2 marathons.  The Beach 2 Battleship relay with the hubby in November and then Disney in January.  For someone who doesn't like running I seem to be doing a lot of it.  What the hell?

sdalessio - 2009-07-30 9:13 AM Well group - I survived.  I went w/ yogurt in hand and survived.  Yeah for me!!!!!!!!!!!

tahrens - 2009-07-30 9:04 AM

Dunkin Donuts all the way. When ever I am running really late for work I stop off and buy a dozen or so for the office.  My thinking is no one will notice - or remember - if I am late if I give them donuts! 


LADIES!!!!!  A little piece of advise I learned the hard way this morning.  Don't have your eyebrows waxed and then go swimming!  There was at least 12 hours of separation between these events but man, trapping pool water against freshly waxed brows with goggles down right stings!!!   However, the whole time I was worried that the chlorine was going to turn my freshly colored hair orange. So then I would have had fire red eyebrows and orange hair - not a good look!  Luckiy I am still a nicely glowing auburn   And on a related subject, I've been told a way to preserve your hair color is to fully wet your hair and then spray a leave in conditioner on it before you put your swim cap on.  This way your hair is already saturated and won't absorb the chlorine. 

See how hard it is to stay lovely guys?  You should really appreciate all the time and effort we women put into things.

Can I still get in on the 200 sit-ups challenge?  I read through the website and it looks good - my core is something I neglect so this would definitely be good for me.  I'll get my test done either tomorrow or Saturday. 

I'm doing a half marathon this fall too - Lewis & Clark - although it's not my first.  Technically it's my third, but the first 2 didn't go quite as planned.  My first try was the same race last year but everyone got stopped at the 10 mile mark because of flooding on the course - click the link to see what we ran through - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63jy8ihP0xc.  So I didn't actually get to finish this one.  My second one about 6 weeks later I did finish but it wasn't pretty.  So this year I'm looking forward to having a good race (can't get much worse).

About the conditioner in your hair.  I did that once right before meeting my 20 year old swim hottie for the first time.  This was when the deep end frightened me so we were wallowing around in the shallow end.  Picture me with a nose plug, afraid to put my head under water and when I do my swim cap keeps sliding off.  Why?  Because it was slick with conditioner!  Looked like a dork, felt like a bigger one!

Ok, ladies...shoe question: Which one with the dress?  I bought the one on the right,but they are the least comfortable of the three......what do you think?

I am not a lady, but i vote for the ones on the left

EDIT: On second thought.....Please post pics wearing the dress, and then let us decide.

tahrens - 2009-07-30 9:33 AM  I like shoe number 2.  The straps around the base of your toes might start to hurt after a few hours of standing table dancing.  BTW, that is the best looking bridesmaids dress I have ever seen.  Where is the pink taffeta and puffy shoulders?

Andy,  NO FREAKING WAY!!!!   I'm already planning to spend my week's vacation at Disney waddling around like a penguin, no need to put myself in a wheel chair!  That Goofy medal is going to Tony and Sam I believe.

SSMinnow - 2009-07-30 9:42 AM

The dress is one I bought about three years ago and never wore.  I am the only one standing up so she is letting me wear what I want to wear which is good. I've done some ugly bridesmaids dresses in my day.

 The first two are the most comfortable (if there is such a thing with heels), but I'm partial to #2 as well. Tomorrow I will slap on the dress, with the shoes, post hair and make-up and post something.  And only I will know for sure what is underneath it all!

DougRob - 2009-07-30 9:39 AM OK I am in for the 200 situp challenge. Do we start Monday or do we doo the initial test then?

BTW: The strength and core exercises are getting easier but holding a plank pose is a B#tch! I managed 50 seconds. Not even close to 3 minutes but 5 second better than last week. Oh and "V crunches with a fit ball were invented by the Marquis de Sade!. I mean come on, all the abs, the back and the inner thighs all at once?!! I am sure I look like a turtle trying to get off its back while doing this too."

OK enough whining, (I did do all my sets (2 weeks down, 10 to go.)).

yeah me  too

fattyfatfat - 2009-07-30 9:47 AM

Test before monday  start monday. 

SSMinnow - 2009-07-30 7:05 AM

Too funny.  I'm just the opposite.  For someone who really loves running, why the hell am I biking so much? and running so little?
