Ghoulies- World Dominion Tour. (Page 49)

Happy FFFFriday Ghoulies!

It is time to start running!

“You pretended the snooze button didn’t exist. You dragged your butt out of bed while others slept. While others ate their pancakes you had a feast of protein, glucose and electrolytes. You double-knotted. You left the porch light on and locked the door behind you. You ran. 5ks, 10ks, 26.2 miles. Some days more, some days less. You rewarded a long run with a short run. And a short run with a long run. Rain tried to slow you. Sun tried to microwave you. Snow made you feel like a warrior. You cramped. You bonked. You paid no mind to comfort. On weekends. On holidays. You made excuses to keep going. Questioned yourself. Played mind games. Put your heart before your knees. Listened to your breathing. Sweat sunscreen into your eyes. Worked on your farmers tan. You hit the wall. You went through it. You decided to be a man about it. You decided to be a woman about it. Finished what you started. Proved what you were made of. Just kept putting mile after mile on your internal odometer.”- Nike

Effing annoying!

Morning Ghoulies!

It is pouring rain here this am. I was woken up by a nervous dog worrying about the thunder. I could have slept in today. Oh well, I need to get up and about so I can get to the store, the allergist and the good will to pick up something to wear for the party.

Happy FFFFriday

You got that right!

I could read you a bedtime story

Good morning Ghoulies!  Guess what!  Frank is doing awesome with his hip.  He actually went with me to the gym twice this week and he rode the stationary bike for a few minutes.  Yes, the PT said he could, with specific instructions to just take it very very slow, no pressure or speed.  He also went back to work on Wednesday.  His HR was giving him grief about possibly telecommuting, so he said the heck with it and got the Dr. office to release him to go to work with the understanding that he was carpooling and not having to drive himself.  It is nice having him back at work.  His temperament is better for it.  Yes, very tired at the end of the day, but a good tired, not a bored tired.  Woot! 

WOOT!

That is fantastic, Kendra! Getting back to normal, or close to it, is amazing for mental health. It makes a person feel like the worst is behind them.

Yes, getting back to normal is great.  We are going to make a big effort to get to the gym at least twice a week.  I'm hoping that it will eventually be more, but twice a week is a good habit to have.  

Now, to just clear the house out of crap food and go to all good food would be awesome too.  Maybe I'll clear out the kitchen this weekend.  The temps are in the 60's, so time to spring clean, right?

Indeed for all of that. If it isn't there, you can't eat it. I find it harder to go to the gym when the weather is nicer, so getting the habit in now is good.

I am off. Have GREAT days all.

Good morning Ghoulies!     IT IS FRIDAY!!!!   yeah!!

Long, busy week for us.  I am really looking forward to the weekend.

That is great!! 

Good springter morning Ghoulies!

Sprinter = spring+winter

It was in the upper 50's here yesterday, supposed to be that way again today. Unfortunately we will be stuck in a gym most of the day at basketball games. Things never go as planned though. The head coach's family all has the stomach bug, so they won't be there today. The other coach called and asked me if she could get Keri for a little while to go over some things, since the coach's daughter, who is a very big part of the team, won't be there today Keri is going to have to play an ever bigger role than she already does. Glad your arm is feeling better kiddo.

We are dropping Keri off at the coach's house on the way to Caleb's game, then Keri is going to come to the game with the coach and her daughter. I'm glad Keri likes them.

Caleb plays at 2:00, Keri at 5:00.

The best part of the day is I am done for the semester with my school work! The semester ends next Sunday. New classes start March 3, but I'm done. The last module started this week. I got everything done and turned in today. I HAVE A WEEK BREAK! I guess this is my spring break. Woot! I was so happy I went downstairs and ran 2 miles on the treadmill.

Oh, and I completed my registration from my deferment last year, so I'm officially registered for the MCM... again.

Excellent!

Good morning Ghoulies!

I did not sleep very well at all last night. I am tired. Very very tired.

Morning Ghoulies.

I on the other hand, slept like a baby. I took some cold meds before bet to help with this persistant sniffling/ coughing. I am pretty sure it is allergies but if I take any allergy meds I am out for 18 hours or so.

Ann, crawl under your desk with a pillow and bankie. Put a note up for people to be quiet and call me if they have any problem.

Thanks, Robin. Should I have them call your house, or your cell?

Good morning Ghoulies!

Sprinter - I like that.  I actually was able to sit outside on the deck this weekend.  What a difference from a week ago, and the dogwood trees are budding.  Spring color is beginning to show up here in GA.  The daffodils are getting ready to bloom also. 

Robin - Have things been any better since going to the allergist?  Are you still getting shots?

Dee - hope you enjoyed your weekend.

The house is better, no cell signal in the house.

Morning Kendra.

It is spring like here, too. Things getting all ready to pop and the maple trees already blooming. The thunder in winter = snow soon seems to be true. We are supposed to get snow Tues/ Wends and then again on Friday/Saturday.  Very typical for here this time of year.

Yes! Things are much better since going to the allergist. I get shots every 2 weeks. I think I will step them up this spring to weekly. I have only had 2 colds since starting the shots, where I had one per month before!

We had a warm weekend, but we are back to winter here. High's only in the 20's and low 30's this week.

I was looking at my steps on fitbit. For yesterday, I got over 3000 steps in from midnight to 4:00 am. A good portion of my goal met before I went to bed.
