Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge Page #3 (Page 30)

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!

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! 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kimk - 2009-10-20 8:57 PM uggg you guys are killing me!!! Be back after reading the 17 pages from the 2nd thread and then the 10 from this one!

When you are caught up, let me know what it said.

I've been trying to respond...but that just adds more pages!!!

I got your back Kim...I did a little update for the team! see there is that giver in me, again!

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!!!

went to chiropractor today.

theyve been in the process of doing some re-evaluating.

like i shared, my hip/pelvis are not level.

my right hip sits higher than my left.

they've been doing weekly adjustments, and ive been wearing levelers to try and bring more balance, structurally.

after several months of adjustment, theres been almost a 50% improvement in the degree of unbalance.  GOOD NEWS GOOD NEWS GOOD NEWS....

but theres still an imbalance.

the Doc said today that since the issue wasnt completely resolved by adjustments alone, theres a good chance that anatomically my right leg is shorter than my left leg....not by much, but enough that it was making an impact and probably the source of my foot problems last year.

ok.  no big deal.  were all a little OFF....

the upside is that they have 'lift' that they added to my leveler to help w the imbalance.

the whole thing just made me crack up.  when he said that my leg is probably shorter...

all i could think was...

not only i am a cock-eyed lil triathlete.

now im the cock-eyed lil triathlete w the shorter right leg.

LOLOLOLOL.

at least theres something to be done about the imbalance, and hopefully the lift will alleviate some of the IT/SI joint/lower back issues...

im all about being more BALANCED/LEVEL.

LIVE HAPPY!

and I used to ask...were you over there at the other door I was heading out or something??? how did you know?
