Very cool on the swimming progress Stacie.  You'll be more than ready to conquer that 1.2 during the HIM.

Tom... I don't mind at all when you are on top. A change of view is good every now and then.

wgraves7582 - 2009-11-13 4:22 AM I just realized that we have an east coast/west coast conversation gap on this thread.  All of us out east talk early and all the west coasters talk late.  Wonder if we keep this thread going 24/7?

I have to get back on the elliptical. That can start on Sunday, my first ever 5k is tomorrow, so that is where my focus is now.

wgraves7582 - 2009-11-13 5:19 AM So last night on my ride I went to call the kids and pulled my left glove off (my arm that I feel on the night before) and I jolted it a little and it was sore.  Not sharp pain sore, but more of an yeah that could have been pretty bad sore.

I know people here feel ST is a time burner and you can improve in other ways but as an overall life fitness tool, ST is very important and I will stick by that statement for a long long time!

Yes Goofy Challenge is a on the list event but this year just did not work out.  I cannot do Disney back to back years so 2012 would be the soonest for me as well.

Give me Fuel for my fuel give me double time desire!  Isn't that a song if I remember correctly? LOL

Yes innuendo's are a good thing but the real thing is a great thing!

I believe the lyric you're thinking of is "Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire."
Fuel by Metallica

iowagander - 2009-11-13 10:46 PMGood evening Amy and Neal. Hope you guys had a good day. Sorry to hear your weekend is looking a little grim Amy. I hope you can find something to help you pass the time and enjoy yourself when you're not stuck at work.

No big plans here. I have runs tomorrow and Sunday, and I have an ST session I need to make up. I think I'll do that tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be trolling around here quite a bit too while I'm folding laundry

aspeelma - 2009-11-14 10:48 AM Good morning Ghoulies!!!

First ever 5k today. My goal was sub 30, my time was 31:05. I'm a little disappointed but not a whole lot. Running on a cross country course is not something I've done before. It was wet grass and a lot of mud, not to mention not very even. There were parts where everyone was zigzagging around large mud pits. So these slowed me down some. My first mile was great for me, 8:19, it went down hill from there. I also have orthotics in my shoes, with all the wet and uneven my feet were slopping around in my shoes a lot. I used Body Glide before hand, but I've got 5 new blisters on my feet. The blisters on my arches were killing me the last mile. I kicked off my shoes where my DH and DD were standing, about 1K from the finish. I ran sooooo much better without my feet killing me. My DS was waiting for me at the finish line. Maybe I should have kicked my shoes off sooner because I was definitely when my feet stopped hurting so much with every step.

While I missed my goal, I learned a lot, and I know the next time will be better.

Have a great day Ghoulies!!!

You fold????????  Want to come over to my house???  I don't mind washing/drying but i HATE folding.  And I don't own an iron.  If it isn't wash and wear, then it goes to the dry cleaners.

YIPEE!

you'll soon figure out this class is the highlight of my week.
