DH came home early (told ya he was a peach) and i went to the Y and did a 5 miler, negative splits. im right on the cusp pace-wise. im hoping to get in some solid workouts and some good rest/recovery days before my 1/2. if nothing else ill enjoy my time w my friends that are coming in from out of town to run, and my friends w the newly formed tri club. i was able to sit down and type a proposed tri/race schedule for 2010....its shaping up nicely and im already starting to get excited. 2 Olys as my A races. thats a new distance for me. uber uber exciting! keeping my head in the game. ill be back tomorrow to chat. mwah! stacieb It IS exhausting when especially taking care of two sick ones. GREAT that they are recovering so quickly! And what a sweet hubby for coming home early so you could have so recouping time. Good luck with the rest of your training. Next year sounds like lots of fun  |

Started new block today with introductory bacteriology and virology. Yay it seems so fitting considering the flu season has descended! We got a big notice to not come to class if we are sick...the Faculty is trying to avoid everyone in medicine getting sick!!! I think we are all going to think we are sick once we are done with this block...haha Haven't really decided what I'm going to do at the gym today....hmmm...i think I might do a quick recovery run on the treadmill and then some stat biking...thats my plan right now...we will see...I might as well go to the gym rather than wait in my car in rush hour around the university area. YAY! This afternoon I get to sit in a dark lecture theatre which is like 30 degrees C right now and watch a movie  ...how many people do you think are going to be awake at the end of that? I'm going to go get myself a ginormous coffee!!!x5,000,000 for sure I would be out! It wasn`t as bad as it could have been...I thought I was in for trouble once the lights went out...but I was pretty outraged at the topic of the film. It was about this Tuskegee syphillus study in Alabama with 400 African-American men who they pretended they were treating but actually weren`t to determine if the course of syphillus was different in black men compared to white men. It went on for 40 YEARS!!!! *outrage* Basically my outrage kept me awake... |

Haven't completely decided if I want to do the 10mile distance instead....dun dun dun! I'm going out for my birthday on Fri night to a piano duelling bar!!! I'm soooo excited!!!! have fun in the race...just make sure whichever you choose that you finish with a smile! sooo tell us more about this piano duelling bar? I think I will have a bigger smile with the 5miler....haha the 10miler might end up with a horrible snarly grimace by the end...haha The bar is called the Ivory Club...they have 2 pianists at opposing pianos and they play all night long...different genres from oldies to new stuff, audiences choice...i guess its kind of like a dance off but with pianos...I`ve never been before, but I`ve heard it is fantastic!!!

I'll be working 60-70 hours as opposed to my normal 40 and workouts will have to occur in the morning or else they won't get done. Gulp! Wish me luck! YOU WILL RUN.... I mean... GOOD LUCK! why you working sooooooooooooo many hours this week? Im tired for you and Katie! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Katie has me beat hands down. This is a once a year occurrence. We bring in some japanese consultant and run like 5 different focused groups to drive changes throughout the plant. Good times. sounds interesting...now what kind of plant you working for? and are the focus groups keeping your focus?? hope it is not one of those groups where you need the toothpicks to keep the eyes propped open! and these groups are going to last all week long? now thats one heck of a focus group!!! We are a chemical manufacturing plant. And yes, we will be working alllllll week long. Luckily we only put in 11 hours today. Tomorrow could get ugly heres hoping to a NON ugly day! Well, the day wasn't ugly, but it wasn't pretty either. I've had a couple of beers and its looking a little better now |

Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge Page #2 givemashot - 2009-10-13 2:21 PM SO the inspector just left--bad news. SInce my glorious, oh-so-competent building contractor didn't get the building permit for the basement finish until AFTER the sheetrock was up and painted, said sheetrock must be torn down, all exterior walls exposed, the ceiling sheetrock torn down in places, and one side of each interior wall exposed. Did I mention I don't *heart* this contractor any more? I stopped *heart*-ing them about 8 weeks into this "3 week" project. Wrong doors ordered, wrong carpet, wrong tub, then a damaged tub, then wrong toilet, extra charges on the paint, wrong texture on the walls, wrong toilet, wrong finish on the fixtures, no control of sheetrock dust whatsoever, I could go on and on.... Holy smokes! You haven't strangled this guy yet? Impressive self control. |

I'm still on target! I plan on running in a 5K on Sunday so this week is relatively mellow. Baby has been growing by leaps and bounds lately. He is sitting up on his own now! It's so cute! He looks so pleased with himself! I hope everyone is doing good. Keep running team!!!! |

Pro 4482 NJ | Subject: RE: Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge Page #2 Long days at work this week...a theme for several of us....so having trouble keeping up. Glad to hear Stacie's kiddo's are ok. Dueling pianos sound fun. Contractor from hell sounds familiar. Wish I'd been around for the "goodie" discussion. Tuskegee was an abomination of science and ethics. So, have fed the "fur people" and am going to crash. Plan has me running 5 miles tomorrow, but have to be at work by 7am. Not sure that is possible. (the run that is, no option on work) I draw the line at being in the sneaks any earlier than 5am. A girl has to get some sleep. Will work on an alternate plan later. Easy enough to move some other things around later in the week. "she says with sincere optimism." Great job Ghoulies! |

The nicest people you meet are those that stop to help. So today I had to ask a guy at work to deal with a HUGE spider. I have no problem with that. I just do not like spiders. That said, I'm laughing because one day last year I was on a long run and came upon a guy with a flat. He had all the "stuff" but no idea how to change his tube. I wound up changing it for him (flats I am good and fast, spiders I am paralyzed), which I'm sure he never admitted to his buddies. Everyone brings something to the table. |
