The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! (Page 7)

Welcome back...I was going to ask you if it was your house that the Today show was outside of this morning in Buffalo with ALL THAT SNOW!!!

Morning All-  I got 2.5 miles in last night on the TM...it was painful as expected but not terrible

Stacie, have you ever tried Bikram yoga?  It is an hour and fifteen mins session with 26 postures in a room heated to 105*.  They tell you the first time you go that your goal is to just stay in the room.  It took me about 10 sessions before I could get through the postures without having to sit down or feel like I was going to heave. I haven't been in a while but am thinking about starting back up again.  Very cleansing.

Well, I was going to shout "Lunch is on Stacie!!!" but since it's going into IM China fund, will hold back.

Wrap something around your face to breath through (I have a lightweight gator).  I find it really helps to warm the air you are breathing when trying to run in the cold.

Oh, and consider yourself kicked.

So I tested out my clif bar experiment...I beleive it worked? I didn't have an hcore death bonk...yay!!!!!

Just finished a shorter run, bike and did a core session...swimming again tonight!

Clif bar experiment day 2, No fast food challenge day 2..haha

funny you should mention that KIM.

i happened to strike up a conversation w a guy at Panera (yes, same Panera, different guy...ff my conversation w the geologist from San Diego.  if i can make talking w people in a Panera a marketable skill id be good to go.  LOL)


anyhow, i struck up a conversation cuz he was wearing Brooks and thats the same running shoe i wear.  and asked if he was runner/liked his Brooks.

he said he 'used to' run.

uh-oh.  dont like the sound of the that...so we got to chatting about he has back issues ie weak muscles...and how he hasnt been able to run but he's been doing Bikram Yoga....he practices at a center closer to the city, but mention a center out here in the Burbs...who knew there was a yoga center here in the Burbs.

so he's gonna try the class there (its closer for him, and would be closer for me....)

i looked on their website an theyre offerring two weeks of unlimted classes for $25 for any new person coming to the center...

so.  im thinking about chking it out.

interesting thing.  i was just thinking how i wanted/needed to take some group yoga classes.

and based on what i saw/read - they have THREE centers - this might be a good venue for Joseph to do his Yoga/Didge class/workshop.

always thinking.  yes i am.

so i need to ride out there this week.  there and a wellness center not far from my house.

funny how things just keep coming together.

its the Patchouli Lime lotion im wearing, i swear. 

stacieb

squirrling it away baby....

THOUGH, i did consider splurging on something...

GHOULIE dinner would be AWESOME!
stacieb

stacieb

Good afternoon everyone.

I went to the doctor's today. I have a sinus infection and an ear infection. I picked up antibiotics on the way home and started them all ready. My doctor said that the cough should disappear in a few days. No power walk today though. There may have been a shot of whiskey though.

I'm off for my nap now. Lots and lots of rest is needed.

Ann, sorry to hear this....but the good news is that with antibiotics it should clear up pretty quickly. Just don't stop taking them when you feel better.  Take the entire course of therapy.  Oh, and the occasional whiskey sounds like a good idea too.

OH GHOULIES.

IM ABOUT READY TO BURST.

im so stinking honking excited.

i was gonna head up to the Y today to make a 'play' for that position that i talked to the Exec Director - to be honest, i was getting ANXIOUS cuz i hadnt heard anything from them, that i was gonna go and 'make something happen'.

instead i followed my intuition bagged the workout, headed home to do yoga tai chi and nap.

GUESS WHAT I FOUND IN MY INBOX WHEN I WOKE UP?????


heeeeeee!

A JOB OFFER FROM THE Y.

yep you heard it right.

A FRIGGING JOB OFFER.

im gonna be gainfully employed in the VERY near future.



AND my son had an appointment today, and the counseling center said that they are ALWAYS hiring, to give them a call.

i KNOW.  shut up!!!!


first the wholistic lifestyle coach gig.

now the gig at the Y.

and possibly a part time gig at a counseling center.

its almost too much.

im so 'XCITED.

life.  today.  was good.

and now got even BETTER.

SCHAZAAM!
