does my memory serve me right?

housecleaning does count as a peach?

i dont want to cheat to get a peach.

stacie

Yep. You can log it under "Home Improvement."

i can say,

UNDENIABLY,

I IMPROVED MY HOME AND

THE APPEARANCE THEREOF

IN THE LAST 30 MINUTES.

Great!  Wanna swing by my place and do a little tidy-ing?  Everything in my home is covered in a layer of cat hair.  So not up to Martha Stewart standards!

SURE.  i can do that.  one thing....DO I GET XTRA POINTS?!  LOL.

and ill swap dog hair for cat hair. 

hope you got a good nights rest and you were able to sleep in this morning and woke up

refreshed,

revived and

rearing to go! 

as for sleep, i woke up my usual time on 4:15 w NOWHERE TO GO.  usually im up this early on Saturday to eat and wake up fully before i go to my 2 hr spin class. 

BUUUUTTTTTTT, the 2 hr endurance spin instructor is the RD for the race im running today, SO NO CLASS.

felt kinda of silly, wide awake at 4:30-5:00 with nowhere to go

SOOOOOOO.......

i came here!    [well, as you can see from the time, i stopped at a few other places on my way here....]

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A MOST SPECTACULAR DAY!

ERICA, best of luck today!  LEAVE IT ALL ON THE COURSE, you fast-self you in your brandy new ZOOTS!

ill be RUNNING W THE LEPRECHAUNS!

kns57 - 2009-03-13 9:23 PM Got my peach in today and then read two books for the rest of the day.  Didn't get much else done. 

That sounds like a really nice day!

that does sound nice....

i need to have a day like that. 

what books?

Dang, 4:15???  That is crazy.  I am usually up at 5:00.  I just wake up then but this past week I have been sleeping until 7:00ish.  Weird.  Today was in the middle at 6:00.  

Stacie, good luck in your race too.  Watch out for those leprechauns!  You get free beer at the finish???

FREE

AND

GREEN! 

hoping i dont trip over the little suckers....

the leprechauns that is. 

RUN LIKE THE WIND!

SO used to being gone on race day....

this ones a LATE START....10:30

what to do with myself until then?

come on the TRPs thread and GOOF OFF SOME MORE! 

ebshot - 2009-03-14 12:57 PM Hey guys.  I'm home.  I am freezing!  It was COLD out there today.  The forecast was supposed to be in the 40s but it was in the 20s.  Brrrr!  I was glad when we finally started running!  I finished in 27:39 (my watch said 27:23 but whatever).  I'll take it!  I placed 2nd in the Athena division.  Hardware!    The chick who won the division passed me.  Unacceptable but I just couldn't reel her back in. 

Great Job!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of my Peeps!!!

ERICA YOU ROCK!!!! thats AWESOME.  AND SOME RACE BLING, ALL THE BETTER.  YAHOO FOR YOU!!!

it was a lovely day for a run here Western PA.  sunny, a bit cold but TOTALLY TERRIFIC!

31:36 was my finish time.  and i ran an additional 1 miler w my hubby and super FAST kids!!  WOW!  who knew?  didnt get the swifty gene from mommy thats for sure.

my youngest got FIRST PLACE in his age group

and my 9 year old got SECOND PLACE in his age group.

no hardware for mom, but im so happy, happy, happy my kids got LOTS of BLING and did AWESOME!

as for my race....

my time was better than i had 'feared', but id be lying if i said that i wasnt frustrated.

at this point, i believe its at least 70% MENTAL,

just something that im gonna have to sort through.

i need to get back to that place where running a race was accomplishment inandofitself, remember those days?

AND i HAVE TO ditch that little voice inside that says, if you didnt get injured, you'd be.....

its OK to feel the disappointment.  its hard going from running a certain pace, to feeling like your starting at square one. 

i guess i just hadnt anticipated how hard, or how long this was going to take...

but i PROMISE myself im not going to hang here too long.

ill find my way THROUGH.  i did when i got injured, and thats what brought me to TRIs.  so my intention is the same NOW.

thanks EVERYONE for your words of encouragement!  my inspire 'box' was chock-full.  SO good to come home to especially feelin' a little frustrated....

i know for me persistence, consistency is key. 

i may not be swiftiest, but ill sure as hell be the most persistent and consistent athlete out on the course....

gonna keep plugging away!

WELL LOOKIE THERE I STARTED A NEW PAGE!!!!

THAT PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE

IM TELLING YA ITS THE LITTLE THINGS....

D001 - 2009-03-14 11:12 AM According to Yanti, "A Spinning(R) studlet may also be called a pedal piglet. " There you go.

I LOVE PEDAL PIGLET.  yes, yes, yes!!!

Congrats to your kids!!!!!!!  That is fabulous!  Congrats to you on your race too!  You might be coming back from an injury but remember, you are coming back!  You didn't give up, you are on your way back to where you were!  Consistency indeed!   

Hmmm...what kind of points are you looking to score?  I don't know that I'm certified to hand out anything other than brownie points.
