Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 45)

Way to go Nalani!!  I can't imagine having to do an extra mile. 

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Andria.   Rest first.  The training will wait.

 No snow or ice here.  It is supposed to get up into the low 50s today - a rare event in January.   I will get in a run and hopefully some weights and a light swim later.   Have a great day everyone.

I'm IN!!! (Of course I'm home & not training, that's why)  Hello everyone, sorry to hear some of you are snowed in!  We had some cold weather Monday, but it's getting better.  I will have to check out Nalani's blog today!  Way to go!

I'm really sick with a Lupus flare right now.  My vision has cleared up at least.  I will get pretty behind on my training except maybe for some swimming this week at the one pool I feel comfortable going to with this rash all over my body (I do wear a barrier cream, which I posted a link to on my blog today--it works REALLY well).  Although my joints are not painful right now, my muscles on the right side of my body are all inflamed and painful and I've got pericarditis.  And I've got an incompetent rheumatologist who told me I need to drink less water, not buy new socks when I asked her about compression socks.  I have new insurance and this is the best they provide me with.

My kids are happy and healthy, so is the hubby.  I'm frustrated I can't train, but somewhat relieved as if I have a flare now, one just before/during my HIM in May is a little less likely.  There's always a bright side, right?

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Sorry you are having willy chilly weather! Isnt it warm in the afternoon...I thought you were having good weather! my dd said it has been really nice the past few days!? are you running before the sun comes up? stay warm and go buy one of those infamous $5 San Diego sweatshirts...you can find them all over the beaches....they sell them for all the people who go to San Diego thinking it is HOT and SUNNY and instead is SUNNY and COLD! haha Just like you said...you did at least run....good job Cheri! when you heading home?

WOOOOHOOO great job Nalani!!!

That reminds me, I downloaded a Pilates workout onto my phone.  I should take a look at it.  I need to strengthen my core and I heard it was good for that.  God knows I can't do much of anything else...although I did try last night.  One situp and one minute on the elliptical.  It was frustrating.  Gotta keep trying, though.

What is everyone doing for the weekend?  Is there anybody else, besides me, in the world NOT planning on watching the Super Bowl?  Not that I don't care, I just have never been able to sit still in front of a TV for long.  I'd rather listen to it while doing other things...

Have a great weekend whatever you'll be doing!

thanks Yvonne for putting the spotlight on where the spotlight is most deserved! CONGRATS ON A FABULOUS MARATHON NALANI!  YOU ARE A TOTAL ROCK STAR! wheres your race report? have you posted one yet?

Hi everyone ! I bet I have quite a bit to catch up on, but not much time this afternoon to do that........so for now I'll just check in and say "HI"........ and read logs later on.  We finally found the sourse of the gas smell in our house. It's our water heater, if the heater on the 2nd floor comes on and any doors are shut, the vent on the water heater sucks air IN rather than sending it out ! GOOD GRIEF !

So now that I've spent the night at my folks with my kiddo, I feel much better.  The water heater is off so we can be in the house and I do not feel sick. My daughter said she feels ok, but I'm not sure she did so we got out of here last night.......... and now i feel much better !

Can't wait to catch up on you all, but i have got to do some housework first to feel like I am allowed to take a break ! lol

Yes, I'm doing Pilates hoping that it will strengthen my core, thereby improving both my body position while swimming and my posture while riding. From what I've heard and read situps are not all that good for improving core strength. Things like Planks are supposed to be much better.

I like football but since I don't really care about either team in the Super Bowl I will probably have the game on but won't give it a lot of attention.

Thanks all for your kind words!  I'll get a RR up before the weekend is over. 

Who's racing soon?

Can't wait to read it!

I was supposed to race a 5K on Saturday, but since I'm traveling  back home across the country tomorrow, I decided to skip it and focus on next Saturday.  I'm going to race a 15K then.  I've rationalized not racing on Saturday by deciding to devote what time I have this weekend to a long bike ride and a long run.  Let's see if I can stick with it!

Does anyone else have arguments with yourself -- yes I should race, no I don't want to, yes but it's a good thing, no my legs hurt, etc, etc, etc?

Morning all!

Went and did my swim this morning. Got rather ticked off by a rude woman: I was swimming in the first lane next to the wall and the stairs into the pool, sharing the lane with another woman. I'm somewhere around 40+ lengths into a 1600m continuous swim when I see an oriental woman on the stairs jogging in place. I ignore her and continue my swimming. As I'm coming back down the lane I see that now she's IN MY LANE doing her jogging. I think "WTF?" but don't want to stop my swim to chase her away. I continue along, trying to crowd her more each time I get to the end of the lane hoping she'll move or get out of my way. I hit my 1600m but don't want to stop just to yell at her and continue through to 1800. I say to her "This is rude! Could you please go somewhere else?" She responds "I'm not bothering you." I say "Yes, yes you are. Please move." It's not like the pool was full at this time; there were several half lanes open, including the lane with "The Running Man", the guy who shows up around 6:45 to jog in place. She certainly could have shared a half lane with him without having to annoy anyone! Hard to keep my concentration with this going on!
