The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! (Page 62)

givemashot - 2010-01-31 5:27 PM I went for a nice run yesterday. Felt pretty good--no argument from the shins today, so I think I'm on the right track to get back on the training schedule.

We leave for Disneyland on Thursday. The kids are excited--hubby is not so much, but he'll make it ok. I am just awnry and feeling sorry for myself for no good reason today. I just want to sit here, hubby wants me outside helping him with a half-done home improvement project that has been sitting idle since October. We just got in a huge fight because of that. I have a million things I should be doing inside--kids homework, laundry, getting all of our storage stuff out of the garage and organized and in the basement. *sigh* It wouldn't hurt to do a workout, too. .
Nah. I'll just sit here and mope.  

ironannekidd - 2010-01-31 3:19 PM So I'm sitting her this morning thinking about what all I'm going to squeeze into the day. I was waiting for it to warm up so I could run. Maybe I could jump on the trainer and do some yoga. Then when it warmed up I could run and then go to the pool. Work Work Work.

Then my favorite person in the whole world called and we had a long conversation and she asked what I was doing today. My response was "Nothing, what's up?"

She was going hiking with her boyfriend (who is in my top 5 of favorite peeps) and their dogs and they wanted me to come along. I didn't take my dog, she's still limping a bit. I got ready and headed over but instead of going hiking we went in town, there was an ice festival near them so we went to check it out. There were ice sculptures lined down both sides of the street. We walked, we talked, we goofed around.

When we were done there we dropped the pups off at the house and we went to dinner. I even had 2 beers. I had a really good time.

I COULD have spent my day working out, but I didn't have to. Triathlon and half marathon training all starts tomorrow, why start it already burned out. IMHO I couldn't have spent my last day off any better.

I hope you all had an enjoyable day as well.

kcarroll - 2010-01-31 8:09 PM Ok, the laundry is done and  I've cooked enough chicken to keep the carnivores happy for another week.  I'm going to pour myself a glass of vino and relax before the next week begins.

Here is a pic from my hike this morning.

mndymond - 2010-01-31 7:56 PMWooo, just got back from dinner at the Outback for my bros bday...had a 6oz steak of awesomeness to help combat my anemia...woooooo...(I'm iron deficient...steak blood=woohoo)

So I think I've narrowed down my 2011 IM options to: Ironman Canada, Ironman Louisville, Ironman Lake Placid and Ironman CDA...hmmm...

Tomorrow I guess I have to weigh myself....I don't think I've weighed myself in yrs...since I quit swimming anyways...(I sorta fit into my pants from when I was swimming again, so in theory the number can't be that bad...right?) I've been measuring myself since last May rather than weighing...I'm kinda nervous that seeing that number will put me into some weird zone...Need to prevent weird self-depricatory, depressive zone after weighing self tomorrow...yaaa...

I'll help you out...

Jules is back and still has a crazy schedule but she's going to get Neal drunk and take advantage of him while he's there for the Escape From Alcatraz tri.

Tom is hot, but he won't take his shirt off for the pictures he sends us.

Bill sends us pictures of himself swimming, and pics with nice back definition, but he's afraid we can't handle the pecs and 6pack abs so he's holding out on us.

There is a picture a few pages back of a hot woman that could either be me or Lola Jones, you decide.

Amy has a crazy race schedule and needs help coming up with a training plan. She also has PTSD from going a few days without internet. We almost had an intervention.

Robin refuses to post pictures of herself because she's too hot for the servers to handle it, but we are all invited over for wine so we can witness the awesomeness in person.

Melindy fits 30+ hours into every day, but if you ask nicely she'll give you a few of the 10 hours she sleeps a night so you can get yourself up to 7 hours of sleep.

NJKim passed 1,000 posts and went to a 5 hour Resistance Stretching Workshop where she reintroduced her fingers to her toes. She also may be a Sherpa at a tri in May for a fellow Ghoulie!

I'm sure I've missed some things, and I apologize for that, but in a nutshell this is what's going on.
