kimk - 2010-04-20 10:46 AM where is everyone?? I finally have a moment and no one is around to entertain me!

I've been fighting with my half blocked internet here at work trying to order tix to see the circus in a few weeks. UGH!!!!!!!

Finally had to call and had to talk to a "computerized person". Double UGH!!!!

But at least we're all going to the circus! My parents will be in town for Granparents Day at my daughter's school that weekend so they can go too. I can't wait to tell the kids!!

I'm a slacker dad. My son has never been to the circus and he is 18. Last time I went was probably over 30 years ago and I have never been to a big circus like Barnum and Bailey.

You know, this is funny.. I have lived in NYS my whole life and every summer we went on some really great family vacations. But our vacations ALWAYS involved camping and driving, never any flying.

As a kid I was such a pain to my dad, begging him to take us to FL to go to Disney. It's too crowded... too expensive... too far to drive... We never went. The year after I graduated from high school, my dad chaperoned my brother's band trip down there to Disney. My brother became a music teacher and over the years my dad has chaperoned many of these trips. He always comes back saying that I just have to go! It's now a family joke for me to tease him about how I'm such a deprived child because he wouldn't take me to Disney growing up.

are you sure we didn't have the same dad? After I moved out of the house my parents went to FL for vacations and even became snowbirds! Mom will be coming home next week!

pdbman - 2010-04-20 10:55 AM So I go to the chiro yesterday and still nothing. They show me a video (cheesy), go through the xrays and their evaluation and how they want me to spend over $3500 on this 5-6 month treatment plan and still no adjustments. I was there for an hour and a half! Come on folks! My back is bugging me. Stop talking and do something about it. Oh, and they aren't "in network" on my insurance or my wife's insurance. Time to find another chiro to try.

that sucks! Hope you get some relief....but after someone comes and rubs my leg and hip please!!

Good afternoon team! At work today. I did get some hill work done on the treadmill this morning. Raining again here in California - unreal. We literally went from sunny and 80 degrees to rain overnight.

It's the Derby Festival Marathon in Louisville! It looks like it should be fun, as long as the thunderstorms hold off!

No, the marathon is actually the weekend before the Derby. . . I guess it kicks off the festivities for the week. I'm getting there Friday and leaving Sunday, so just staying 2 nights. Part of the course goes through Churchill Downs, though, so that should be cool! I almost want to take my camera with me and take pics during the race, but that'll probably get annoying to have to hold it the whole time. Since this is my first marathon, maybe I should focus on the race and not sightseeing

For me, it's a love/hate relationship. When I'm feeling good...running is awesome. But when my legs are beat up, and I'm just not feeling it...I dread running. As my running progresses, it means I can slowly increase volume and intensity...and the vicious cycle starts again...LOL

I am taking an unexpected trip next week, so I'm trying to get ahead on my bike miles. I won't be able to bring my bike, and it will be easier to get some extra running miles in. Sooo....yesterday and today I got two good rides in. The weather has been absolutely beautiful here!

Happy Windsday!

It has a long way to go to become my favorite, but I don't ever dread it like I used to. I can put up an amazing 10-minute procrastination routine, though!

You're right! There's just no way I can compete with Bill and Bill...

Sorry guys I was with the family all day and just got home. Doing some chores and then heading to bed. Spending the day with 5 kids (3 not my own) is stressful - LOL

Ditto! I have been substituting in Kindergarten for a week and a half now, just afternoons. That's plenty. The nice thing is, now I know for sure I wasn't meant to be a teacher!

We're flip flopped. We had snow on Tuesday last week, like 6 inches; but this week it has been 70 during the day. Just beautiful!

Oh, I hate getting the run around! DD has trouble with her back, and that is so frustrating!

Just over the newswire...

BOSTON – Kenya's Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot won the 114th Boston Marathon on Monday, breaking the course record with a time of 2 hours, 5 minutes, 52 seconds.

OK... that's the exact time it took me to run my HALF marathon a few weeks ago. RIDICULOUS!!!

I can't even grasp how that could be possible. WOW!

Morning ATeam! I am stiff this morning, my hip is really bothering me

kinda worried for my tri...I really had high hopes for a good race with possible podium placement....but not looking good now. I am thinking I will cut back on everything....even do the least amount in teaching my classes(which never happens) We will see how I feel after backing off. Although I still have Yoga, and 3 water classes today. and cycle and silver sneakers tomorrow. I have been stretching and using a foam roller several times a day. Have to take my 12yr old to the DR for an EKG today, she complained of her heart hurting on Monday so we took her to her ped, they think it is just the muscle but want to make sure.

On the training front... Yesterday was crazy but I did get my trainer ride in. After work, I had to pick up one daughter from day care, the other from after school program, run home change clothes and grab something to eat in the car, and then run to soccer practice. Then, close to the end of practice Mr Ding-a-Ling (the ice cream truck) showed up. Needless to say, everyone's practice was over! Went home and tried to force feed the kids something healthy (after Mr Ding-a-Ling... why did I bother?) and get two hyped up kids in bed while hubby went to basketball. Trainer didn't happen until about 9:30...

Now the sun is out and it is absolutley beautiful. I'm wondering why I didn't call in sick and take my bike outside for a nice spin today?

That's funny... sometimes my wife refers to me as Mr. Ding-A-Ling if I say or do something stupid (very, very frequently).
