I moved into a new apartment in the beginning of August and have been furnitureless since. Wow, a sofa and love seat is some pretty grown up furniture. I hope you picked out something that won't clash with your bike (because we all have our bikes in the house at some point, don't we?). |

He should be given the opportunity to work half days whenever possible. (At full pay, of course.) I understand that Tom's reduced hours may put some additional burden on you. You should try yoga. It really helps you relax. Sincerely, Your friendly neighborhood slacking off expert |

I typically use Body Glide which works pretty well. I was out of BG so I decided I'd try some Band-Aid Friction Block that I had in my camelbak for hiking. It did not work well at all. I have a blister on the arch and the top of my right foot and on the ball of my left foot. I will be stopping tomorrow to pick up some more BG before I go out running. The Band-Aid brand stuff didn't go on nearly as well as the BG and I even questioned it in my mind before I went running.Take care of those feet Ghoulies!!! Do you wear socks also? I have orthotics and have never lubed my feet but I have been experiencing blisters/rubbing more latley...thought I needed new orthotics...which I am sure I do just am not ready to drop another $300 on them!! Yes, I'm a sock wearer. I wasn't until I got the orthotics. Bamboo socks seem to work the best for me, but that wasn't what I had on last night.  I had gotten my first ones at the price of $375, they were to last me 10 years. I wore them out in a year. I didn't feel like dropping that kind of money again so I was just going with the $50 Dr. Scholl's ones. I started having more and more back problems, and piriformis issues and my PT got me custom fitted for new ones. They were only $135, they are the full length, which I like, the other ones weren't and they are guaranteed for 5 years. So if I wear them out I get a new pair. They have no idea what I can do! They told me 7-10 years for mine...I also went through them in less then a year! Mine are full length but have like a cork bottom, when I can get my new pair they will have a hard plastic bottom that a friend swears by(she is a triathlete and PT) |

Some weird thing she calls "homework". What is this strange thing, I ask?
Be back later. what homework...they still do that???? Did teenagers ever do homework? At 7:30 pm tonight, as she started on the poster presentation she has to turn in tomorrow, I reminded her that there is such a thing as the "I hope you have one just like you" curse. And she's Exhibit A! I love playing that game! Last year my son (then in 5th grade) put me through the wringer trying to get him to finish his report/poster for the state of Iowa. Definitely payback for youthful procrastination on my part! This year has been much better though. I got worse as I got older. It didn't really show on my report cards until my Senior year. I fear that this is just the beginning. at least you went....my parents used to say...we would drop you off at school...you would go in one door and out the other.... and I used to ask...were you over there at the other door I was heading out or something??? how did you know? parents answer: school would call...is Julie sick? shes not at school! DARN SCHOOL RATTTING ON ME!!! can I help it that I liked the beach better then my senior year at school!!!! PLUS ~~~~ life is a beach is it not!!!??? not sure why my parents grounded me for so long...guess they didnt get that memo!
This is tooo funny! |

I'll be back....only ummm 17 more pages! I will never be talking in real time to you all! 17??? here is your run down: 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! 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! 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! 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?? 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??? 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!!! 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holly cats Jules! Do you take notes or is your memory really that good! I think the only thing I would add is Neal had to do the 9mile w/o water and had to choke down a cliff bar! |

Asics are up next (but I was sponsored in part by Brooks this year so I ran in those mainly) Maybe I will buy some new Asics for my return to running in 4-6 weeks. Sounds like good motivation right!
Not at all fast here Kim. It is their "grassroots" sponsorship program. Look it up online and apply. They want to use local people who can show others the benefits of Brooks. Pretty good discount plus I got a free singlet and race shorts (that I have never worn BTW - never sell yourself short for sponsors. I apply for all that I can find and if get accepted that is cool, if not I will live. 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! oh no......MOST sponsors are looking for people who are friendly..are on training sites...who have a good circle of friends...maybe in a tri group, running group, bike group...I was sponsored by Vans, Bristol Meyers, Gu, Cytomax...back when I was mtn bike racing...there is never any harm in asking! you never know! also some will pay for your travel, and entry fees! and we all know how expensive that can get!!! hugh! I fit most of what you said! I will definitely check into this! |
