Girl Passing on Left - 2009-10-05 11:44 AM

I am off from now on on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, one more Friday to work and maybe next Saturday...otherwise...done for the winter! Im off til April! I do special events for the summer months only....winter...I play and train!

skrtrnr - 2009-10-05 11:53 AM i'm sorry GHOULIES.

i cant come out and play today.

i have a spare room that needs a-tending to.  ya know. the xtra room where you stash all your xtra stuff until you find that all the xtra stuff is just everywhere, haphazardly filling the space.

ive decided, i cant put it off any longer, i need to bring order to the chaos.  and today (and tomorrow and quite possibly wednesday) is the day that im gonna face the beast!

but.....

i wanted to report in.

it was an AQUATHON-Y sorta day today.

2.5 mile run followed by a 1400 yd swim followed by a 2.1 mile run.

RUN HAPPY!  i sure did!

That's my normal time to get up. I get up early so I can get my workday over with early, so I can go home and do the things I actually WANT to do. I usually go to bed around 9 or so, not long after the kiddos go to bed. I don't mind it, at least for now. Going to work early will allow me to get home and get a run in before it gets dark this winter, that's a definite PLUS.

oh there was also a house blasting the music from Rockie....when he climbs all those stairs....definitely got a rise from the runners as they passed the house~!

Nah - you can give me a quick briefing of it all if you want   I think I have read it all anyways.  I scanned some and they looked familiar.

I can see 3 or 4 new threads for us by the time we are done.  We are a chatty team!  And just think Neal is recovering from an awesome mary or we would be even further along!

kns57 - 2009-10-05 12:51 PM The Atlanta 2-Day walk for Breast cancer was this weekend and I spend 8+ hours on the bicycle on Saturday and then 4+ hours on Sunday.  Drove home and then played a 3 set tennis match.  I then ate like a little piggie last night.

No running all weekend, but will try to get one in tonight.

Hey team! I was able to get in a little over 5 ghoulish miles today. Now I'm HUNGRY for lunch. Not sure what they're serving here though... More to follow.

willie05 - 2009-10-05 2:12 PM Did another 7 miles today. Felt alright, but not great.  Lost motivation right before I went out.

Heading to Chicago on Wednesday morning for one night, but I hope to get in a run that evening.

No way can I keep up with this thread, so I won't even try!

serendipity - 2009-10-05 3:29 PM Did 30 minutes on the trainer, just an easy spin to loosen the legs up.  3 mile run scheduled for tomorrow and the forecast is  ----  partly cloudy.  Wait, can that be right?

serendipity - 2009-10-05 3:32 PM Just thinking back to this time last year, when I started running again after 10 years.  Running a 5K then was just a lofty goal, and now I'm doing that for my short runs.  What a difference a year makes!

this is such a soup time for me! I love to make homemade soup in the fall...or chili!

so, how was it???

Girl Passing on Left - 2009-10-05 9:52 AM

no need to do that Lucy....remember that some animals are like a pussycat compared to some of those hardened criminals...so, Im not so sure we should pass that salt...yet!!! run safe...do you have somewhere that is heavily travelled with others...so you are not the prime appetizer for these animals???

Girl Passing on Left - 2009-10-05 10:06 AM

geez...that suxxxx~ hope you get a good nites rest tonite and the ear feels better soon!!!

She doesn't run...at least not yet...she can do 11 min miles on the elliptical (sp?) but won't run because she is afraid she will look stupid...I don't understand it but I know I can't force her to do it... she has to get there on her own.  When my aunt was out of town she used the treadmill in their basement, but she won't use one in public or run outside in their neighborhood.

maybe after watching your husband race....watching a marathon is when I started running back in the day....I watched my brother run a marathon...and I was inspired! amazing to see...maybe another way is to get your dad and other family members if you have brothers and sisters to sign up for a holiday race such as a turkey trot...make a short one...they usually have 2-3 miler...and get her to commit with the rest of you...I bet then you can hook her to keep going! maybe?!?!? good luck.

So very true.  Sorry about losing your stuff.  Hopefully insurance covered and you got new/better gadgets.  I almost never check baggage. After years of this you get pretty good at traveling light.  I can easily manage a week (including workout stuff) in one carry on.  Last time I checked a bag was for a 10 day Alaska cruise.
