Stacie has sick kids...that are getting better..but her husband may now be sick

Bill has an ITB injury and is now no longer running with us...just running his mouth! and that is why you are 17 pages behind now!!!

Katie is a work-a-holic and working 50 hours or more a week...has some tasty meals...and had a bad recent run...but we know her next one will be a GOOD one!

Debbie - our Yoga instructor...has had some frozen pipe issues...and is in th process of buying a new home...she now is a CHAMP at building fires and has a neighbor that swims n the lake near her no matter what the temps!]

Tracy is home talking baby talk to her little midget if she is not personal training....she is sad because she cant keep up...but that is a feat in itself! dont tell Paul from the other team I said so!!!

Neal...ran a Marathon the first of this month...he is now finding his legs again and ran a nine miler yesterday....this is after he had to endure a week of BORING focus groups and SUCKY sandwiches...he did get one day of free YUMMY COOKIES...but the rest of the week...there were none!

Julie...thats me...ran a half marathon the first of this month...and lost her legs somewhere along the course! I am about to be finish with work for the year ( my job ends Sunday) and then I will be travelling for the next few months! woo hoo!

Ann...has a SUPER clean house - and from the picture of her avatar...looks to be a rather large home!!!...She would like to spend more of that cleaning time with the kiddos...I say let the house fall down around you! family first! and just give me your husbands phone number!!! we can fiix him... Ann is such a giver...she has agreed to take naps for me! can I just say...Im a bit tired Ann...hoping you have one planned for the afternoon! U DA BEST!

Melissa is our newest med student! she is just getting wet under the gills and is also doing a challenge. My hat is off to her for competing in this challenge at the same time as med school started! YOU GO GIRL!!! plus she is running...and she is checking in...KIU Melissa! and when you are that big doctor making all those big bucks...dont your forget all us little people!! ok?

KimK can not keep up with our thread...but who can?? she is hoping to declutter her life, but cant because she has no time after trying to keep up on BT with us!! did you know she is a trap shooter???? my great uncle was one of the best! lets talk Kim! 

Kim C....our joisey (new jersey) girl....wants to hang out with us...but darn work is getting in her way...she has to run meetings and do other things then sit and chat with us! no fun when she's not around, either...so who do we need to call KIM??? who's your boss?

Amy has a daughter who rips the computer right out from under her...and the daughter wants the computer when Amy is doing really REALLY important stuff on it....like chatting with us!! Amy has been doing lots of construction around her home...she has learned that paying a contractor in advance may not be the best idea...and to make sure to babysit their every move...because otherwise you may be tearing down walls to start over from square one again! she now has a new carpeted basement, too! sounds like a place for a PARTY PARTY PARTY for our winning team at the end of this challenge!!?? what you think Amy...ready to break in that carpet??

Ceilia...stops in on occasion...she has some great dinners she has shared with us all..and must be out running lots...we have not heard from her as much as we would like to!

we have two kendras...both whom have seemed to fall of the face of the earth...I think they are out running....at least I hope! I have sent a PM to them...but no response! HOW RUDE!!! but understand when life gets in the way!

Lucy also seems to have left us!??? LUCY COME BACK!

we have a heckler Paul VanPaulus....he keeps telling us we are going to win! what a nice guy...guess he never took heckling school!

we have Dee who seems to always pop in when her name is mentioned...and always ALWAYS has her taser in hand! although, she didnt seem to break it out on us...guess she has no time after all the tasing she is doing on her team to get them to the lead for this week ONLY! we wanted to be nice and let them take the lead for this week..next week...we may allow another team to lead the challenge...but in the end....its all about SHOW US YOUR GHOULIES! we will dominate this challenge!

Scott...we have a running fool...who decided to run 100 miles this month! that is frickin incredible! he is knocking those miles out left and right! not sure how many bottles of beer are left on his wall...but if I know Scott...he's knocked off another ten or more today as I am typing this...so, Scott how many bottles are left?

BTW: WHATEVER YOU DO... dont ask Electrici-DEE about the jacobs ladder....NO REALLY DONT!!!

we also have a few that I think we scared away...looks like most are adding to the spreadsheet...so they are just our ghost teamies! seems appropriate seeing we are ghoulies!!! we do hope that you are getting lots of amazing information from all the chatting we are doing! thread 4....HERE WE COME!!!!

10 days left and this challenge is over...we started with a bang...and have a feeeling we will end with a BIG BANG! time to run and document those runs! do it for the team!!!

LETS GO GHOULIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my husband is the first to throw things out now! I love it! every so often he will make a dump run...these are becoming further and further apart as we are finally getting down to the basics! and ahhhhhhhhhhhh it feels great! I truly do not find myself cleaning much and it always looks soo sparkly clean! lovin it!

I dream of that day!! Hubby is great at throwing away others stuff! If it belongs to the kids or me it has no value but he can have 10 different screwdrivers and he needs them alllllll! Other then that he is great!

kimk - 2009-10-21 6:51 AM
I've been trying to respond...but that just adds more pages!!!

kimk - 2009-10-21 6:59 AM MORNING GHOULIES.

minor adjustment to the plan this morning, well.  more like.  a minor adjustment to the route i was planning to run.

my oldest son is home sick.  that makes 3/5 now.  dh and i still 'standing'....

high temp.  cough.  same symptoms.

im gonna get out for my 12 miler today, but im gonna do an out and back that way ill stick closer to home.  my guess is that he'll either sleep all day and/or play his DS, read, watch movies all day.

guess it explains the PISSY mood yesturday.  feel bad now, that i was so short with him.  :{

my youngest said NINE kids were out sick yesturday, just in his class.

manohman it IS a pandemic!

i had my share of sick already, so im hoping for a 'get a jail free' card on this particular strain.

my husband is SURE to get it, and he's a BIG BABY when he's sick.  WAY worse than the kids....not that i want him to get sick, but OI ME this is ONE CONTAGIOUS STRAIN OF YUCK!

well.  i need to eat my egg whites, and then im off to stash my stuff while my food digests.

im kind of bummed, i cut out the part of my where i get to run through the woods/on the trail...but this way makes so much more sense. ill feel 'better' being closer to home.

besides.  when i get back and i post my run to the spreadsheet i get to watch my percentage go WAY up there.  WEEE.  its the little things....

Sorry to hear about the sickness Stacie and that you had to cut the trail part of your run out....I'd send get well vibes to your home..but I have one sick here too

wgraves7582 - 2009-10-21 6:58 AM

Dee I am as coordinated as an ox.  My glasses would be in the bottom of the pool every 5 minutes

I should probably watch some videos so I don't look like a total A##

wgraves7582 - 2009-10-21 6:37 AM

well that is just wrong on his part

I am an equal opportunists when it comes to collecting tri gear and tools (bike repair is very important )

ceilidh - 2009-10-21 7:57 AM hey there Ghoulies. Morning.

wgraves7582 - 2009-10-21 6:57 AM

Thanks Dee.  I really like the taste and I don't add any seasoning or salt/pepper.  I let the veggies do the work.  Now do I sound like a wanna be cook or what

kimk - 2009-10-21 8:04 AM i get to post on the first page of the new thread.  HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE.

got out for my MUCH anticipated 12 miler!  YAHOOEY.

i was running at great clip felt maaaaahhhhhvelous.  up until the last bit, and i kept looking at my watch, and i wasnt at the end, and im thinking somethings off....

i rearranged my route today so that i could stick closer to home w my son being home and all...and based on the 'data' that collected yesturday (my 45 min drive ACK!!!) i thought i had a 6 mile out and back route mapped out....

i get home, plug the info into my blog and the pace was WAY off, SUCKISHLY slow.

i didnt feel suckishly slow, until i hit the part in the run where i started thinking this taking too damn long.

sure enough, i OVER RAN MY RUN TODAY BY ALMOST AN ENTIRE MILE.  eight 10ths be exact.

boo for me, though now im good and ready for my 1/2...but YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY FOR THE GHOULIES.

i just updated the spreadsheet and im at 69 something something percent, even w two more runs to do this week -including a 10 miler on Saturday.

WELL SCHAAZAM.

ill surely 'suffer' for the team, SUCK IT UP and run an extra 8 10ths.  LOL.

stacie.

ps.  thanks for all the well wishes for my son.  his fever broke, i bought him a Mt. Dew which he promptly downed, hes feeling MUCH better.    Mt. Dew.  the magic elixir.
-----
Sorry you were not feeling it at the end but way to stick with it and give the team a little more..You Rock Stacie and you will ROCK your 1/2!

wgraves7582 - 2009-10-21 7:00 AM

So I watched a new TV show (To me and I am TV slow so forgive me) last night before falling asleep.

It is called Chopped on Food TV.

4 chefs get to start with an appetizer, then 1 gets "chopped"

3 do main course, 1 gets "chopped"

2 battle for 10K in deserts.

You should see ingredients they are forced to use - strange and I am was no way thinking that they could pull this stuff off.

Pretty cool show if you like food

kimk - 2009-10-21 7:05 AM
Thanks Neal! Just got to it!!!

kimk - 2009-10-21 7:09 AM
hummm I will have to look into that! I thought it was for the "fast people" only! I need to find a way to make this lifestyle a little less expensive!

wgraves7582 - 2009-10-21 7:13 AM

So I told you all about a blog I follow - Up In Alaska.  Check this picture out from today's entry:  Simply Amazing!!!!

wgraves7582 - 2009-10-21 7:15 AM

I reminds me of Acadia, Maine (without the high mountains and snow though).  It looks like the ocean but that is a glacier and fog rolling up to it.

Could you imagine seeing these views daily?  That is amazing.

Anyone want to move to Alaska and train with me

kimk - 2009-10-21 7:26 AM Have a great day Ghoulies!

ceilidh - 2009-10-21 7:39 AM I am fixing to sneak away to go for a run.

ceilidh - 2009-10-21 7:41 AM FWIW, I did have a good trip. I ran faster than ususual because Florida is FLAT. Still slow by any other standard but WTH, I'll take it.
