The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! (Page 37)

I love how we have inside jokes like "Melindy" on here...haha

Gotta do a run today...its gonna be inside...woooo!!

You can do it! You have a month. Set your own personal goal. I feel like I really need to push myself this year that's why I'm aiming for 1 a week. I may be able to do it, I may not. The only way to find out though is to try.

D'OH Melindy stole toppage right out from underneath me. Or should that be overtop me?

I am absolutely ashamed to admit that I know the answer to this. The Devil Wears Prada.

You watched it with your wife, right? SHE is the one who wanted to watch it! I'm throwing you a bone here man, go with it!

I love this Ann! I'm definitely in, even if I have to use a stationary bike!

This is 100% true, but that doesn't make it less embarrassing that I knew the line form the movie!

I've never seen the movie. I browse IMDB in my boredom at work. There is no reason for you to be embarassed.

Just to keep track...

Weight loss challenge in February

Need to come up with a challenge for March

Ironman challenge in April

Is this correct? Who has a suggestion for March?

Sounds correct so far. As for March, maybe a cumulative bike century? Hopefully by then the roads should start to clear up a bit for you poor-climate Ghoulies, and it'd be good practice for the April IM challenge. I'm definitely open to other suggestions though!

Ok, just a quick drive by to say hello.  Haven't forgotten my ghoulie friends, but work is crazy today.  I'm off-site with limited internet access tomorrow and Wednesday so may not be around much. 

Tom, great job on your Half!!!  That was a terrific time, especially with a pit stop.

Hope the other east coasters are staying dry.  I may have to swim home tonight.  Unbelievable how much rain we are getting. 

Catch up later. 

A little bit of strength training today and a really nice swim. 

Wednesday I am swimming with a group for some coached swimming.  The coaches are Masters Instructors and twice a week they coach whoever wants to come give their workout a try.  They are trying to get a Masters group going and maybe some competition down the road  ( or lane  )

I don't know if I will be able to do their whole workout especially at speed, but I am looking forward to trying it out!

And now I'm dead...wow the intense run took it out of me today...haha

Needed some Advil...yay anti-inflammatory (even though the anti-inflam action takes days to actually work...)...so yay analgesia!!! woot woot...My IT bands are a tad unhappy with me...

Now I'm lying on bed and perusing the forums...sooo dead....yay bed...I rhyme

Your running workout made me tired!

Hi Dee

My Y is trying to get a Masters group together, too. I thought of trying the workouts with them, but I have no interest in competing. I am slow. I can live with being slow in the water because I am FAST on my bike!

I hope the internet withdraw isn't too bad for you.

Good morning everyone!

Good morning Ann!

Hi Neal!

Do you have anything good planned for today?

I am getting myself a long overdue massage this afternoon!!! WOOHOO!!!

Question for THE VILLAGE, although I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.

I got an email about ordering photos from the RNR HM. You can only really see me in one of the pictures, and I'm make a V with my fingers, for THE BEST VILLAGE of course. Should I order the picture?

V for BEST VILLAGE toppage!!!

MORNING GHOULIES.

just buzzing through real quick.


im heading out to a different Y on the other side of town, meeting up with some new tri friends.  one i've met in person (the ultramarathoner that was in the car accident, remember her incredible story?) and another friend whom i only 'know' via FB.

we've been trying to connect for weeks, and its finally gonna happen today, IN THE POOL.  WOOT!



life is moving forward. 

and though it might sound strange especially at a time like this but ive been overflowing with gratitude.

not that there hasnt been moments/days that have been difficult.

but inthemidst ive come to realize how surrounded i am, and how loved i am.


we have just a little over 30 days until my husband moves into his new home.


and though the 'delay' has been trying for me, its been good for the boys who are starting the process of accepting their new reality.

not that there havent been tears and questions and anger....all to be expected.

they understand that all though some things will changes, a lot will stay the same for them.


i AM grateful for a man who is willing above all else to put his children first.  who still sees his family as his priority.

though it didnt work out in terms of our relationship, i did marry well.

we've remained amicable these many weeks and i expect that will continue.  theres no need for anymore pain.



my tri training has begun in earnest, though...its been more of a gradual slide into the routine rather than bounding.

im still dealing w hip/IT band issues, not enough to keep from doing anything, but just enough that its annoying.

the cold laser which would've taken care of it in a snap was down.

the upside they got a new machine that has some xtra features.

im sure once i've had a few more treatments, all the discomfort will be gone.

were just playing catch up right now.



ill be back through for certain.

know that i often 'lurk' and read all about the happenings in the VILLAGE.

your QUEEN,
stacieb

Update everyone - Right now I am working with 2 different companies trying to get the best deal for our shirts.

If you haven't sent me your address yet, please do so. I can track you down and stalk you across the internet, but I'd rather not I would rather spend that time engaged in a physcial activity, or napping.

For those of you who do not know yet. The shirts are on me. THE VILLAGE has had a rough January and this is just a little something that I want to do for all of you!

Hey look! Our Queen was here!

Long Live the Ghoulie Queen!!!
