Goodnight all, it's early for you, but late for me. I'll be back in the States tomorrow and hitting my challenge goals and post padding socializing!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I'm in Amsterdam, it's an annual tradition so no turkey for me.

Oh, and I post a lot. A lot. They seem to have banned me from the super chatty team so get ready folks!

What? No no no. This is a chatty team. You'll see. Uh, it's also the team for anyone who requested whips, tasers, cattle prods or spankings.

You'll be in big trouble folks.

Are you joining us?

Taking a break regarding challenges and focusing on my plan more.

However, don't think that I won't stop in once in awhile to harass encourage you.

Have fun this month!

Hi team 2!  I do hope someone thinks of a snappy new name for our team!  I am Linda, 51 years young, mother to one 13 yo boy, and proud owner of 2 golden retrievers and one cat.  I have signed up to do 10 strength sessions this month.  I have had a hard time consistently getting in strength each month, so it will be a great motivation for me!  I am also looking forward to some great chatting/post padding with my team!  I think we need a steamy name to get us through the cold month of December.....(I am in PA and it gets cold in December)!

see you in December!....I need to finish my running for November Pecans!!!!

happy training!!!!

Go Erica! Way to get us going!

Yup, snow in NH...but not at my house. Went for a really pretty stroll through the woods, though, with the snow falling gently and the trees that grey-green when they are just dusted with snow. Aaahhhhhh. Went ice skating yesterday, and were there for the lighting of the tree and FIREWORKS! The colors were so pretty reflected on the snow. We were talking about how cool it would be to be at the top of the mountain and look DOWN on the fireworks!

Have a safe flight back, LM!

How about the Hot Toddies? Warm and alcoholic - works for me!

I'm off to get some breakfast, which my tummy just informed me had better be coming very soon.

Okay, today is the start of my birthday week.  Yup, I'm celebrating all week long!  (Also the first day of Advent too!)  I'm not sure what I am doing to celebrate but that is besides the point! My last few days of being in my twenties.  Can't say as I really care about turning 30 though.  I just like my birthday!

I should get going.  I have to get the crew ready for church.  Mass starts at 9:00.  Seriously, why can't it be 10:00?  9 is just a tad to early for me!  See ya all later!

Okay guys, tomorrow is day 1.  What is everyone doing?  I plan to run tomorrow.  It's my new addiction.  Not good since I am swimming for this challenge!  Good thing is I can swim in the morning and run when my kids are at school in the afternoon!  Sweet!  Best of both worlds.

Also have to call the school.  Why can't anyone do their job right the first time????  Those of you who know me know I've been fighting the school for months.  My middle kid, Cole, has a hearing loss (just found out last month) and I have been trying to get him the services he is entitled to.  Easier said than done.  Soooo, I have to call tomorrow to get some paperwork straightened out that they messed up!  Then ask a few extra questions as to why they won't do some testing I want done.  Grrrr!  

Can you believe it is almost December????  Where did this year go?

I see some of my P.O.G November team mates are here. So glad!

My goal for December is to get 15 sessions of bike riding in. It is my weakest link right now and I really want to improve both in distance and speed.

Looking forward to thrashing the other teams!

Hi Cori!  I like the new avatar!  How's your horse?  

Edited to add:  How did I not know you had 9 kids???  Holy moly!  I'm impressed!

I always have to give a caveat here. I have given birth to 9 kids. Five of them are mine; they are 19, 12, 11, 10 and 8. I have also given birth to twins, 3 years old, one boy 19 months old and one boy who is 3 months old. I was a gestational carrier for 3 couples unable to carry their own children. 

Training is easier for me because I don't have babies at home to look after. I remember how hard it was for me to work out after my own children were born.

I'm planning to swim tomorrow, or run if there isn't time to get to the pool. Neither of which count for this challenge, so I will also try to do my upper body session depending on my energy. I'm absolutely beat from traveling back from Europe.
