Have you been following any kind of plan?  I would have to do the 10-11 tomorrow and then the 7-8 on Sunday.  My feet normally need a few days of recovery between any kind of long runs.  I need to be very careful in scheduling my runs right now.  Are you excited about your first half?

corstan - 2010-04-13 2:45 PM Welcome aboard Courtney, you have a great story, and kudos on the weightloss, that is a tremendous accomplishment and what a great example you are setting for you child.

SoccerGK - 2010-04-13 3:02 PM Welcome Courtney!!!  I'm excited to have someone around my age AND a full-time student like me!!!  It gives me some hope!  Also, I'm impressed with how much time you have to train.  I'm going to check out your schedule and see how you do it!  I haven't been fortunate enough to get in that kind of training time.  Law school is the pits...  Anyway, I only have like 20-30 pounds to lose, but you've given me a ton more motivation to do that!!!

Debbie - CONGRATS!!! I think getting a job offer is one of the best feelings in the world!  Make sure you get a celebration dinner out of this! 

Ruth - Glad I have another cyclist!  Somehow I doubt Wisconsin has as beautiful a countryside as you!

Patrick - AWESOME weightloss!!!  Sometimes it's hard for collegiate athletes to dedicate to working out after college because you suddenly have to plan your own workout.  Where did you play?

Wow, I've missed a lot being in class all day!!!

One quick question, how much is "normal" for weight to fluctuate in a day?  I weighed myself after my workout today, and then after I was showered, dressed, and ate breakfast, and there was a 12 pound weight difference.  I started thinking I need a new scale...

Mrschach - 2010-04-13 7:50 PM I have to ask you guys a favor tonight and tomorrow during the day.  I have struggled with posting this since it is totally non related but I need what we can get right now.  Whatever you believe in, please pray, send good thoughts, good vibes, whatever!  A cousin, by marriage but still family, found out last week he has a brain tumor.  It is 5cm in length and as of Saturday, too large to operate.  They have him on steriods and anti seizure meds to try and shrink it.  He had a cat and pet scan done today.  I don't know the results.  He is having a biopsy done tomorrow at 2:30.  It will be 90 minutes and then another 5 hours of recovery.  Depending on the results, he could have surgery as early as Thursday.  The surgeon said the most he would remove is 2/3 of it.  They will talk about treatment after the biopsy.  As of yesterday, the word cancer had not been mentioned but now they are saying they will talk about possible chemo and radiation after the biopsy is done.  Our cousin, Steve, is in his mid 30s.  He has twins, a girl and boy, that just turned 4.  I can't stop crying tonight.  Please send whatever you have our way!  I apologize that this is so off topic but we need all we can get!

SoccerGK - 2010-04-13 7:31 PM Pete, that's rough!  Nothing to entertain you during work now!  Haha.

Courtney, any tips are ALWAYS welcome!  I've gained like 15 pounds since I graduated from undergrad almost a year ago, which is a major bummer to me.  Most of it was put on since I started school because it's hard to devote as much time as I was to working out.  In undergrad, I was always in the gym for 2 hours/day.  Now, 30-60 minutes is as much as I can really get in.  I can't imagine how you do it with a full course load and a kid!  What time do you work out every day? 

No pains since riding this morning!!! Except my sit bones that feel like they've been bleeding all day...  But my knees are great and I love it!

debbiereid06 - 2010-04-14 7:31 AM Meggan-My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!  Hang in there.

Courtney-I love LOST too.  I didn't get a chance to watch it last night tho.  I have class on Tuesday nights. 

bassandbike - 2010-04-14 8:13 AM Ok.  Who's gonna get it done today?  I gotta bring it today and build on yesterday's strength workout momentum. 

I've got 20 miles scheduled on my Salsa Casseroll today.  I'm doing it.  End of discussion.  For me, saying it out loud just about guarantees it'll get done. There are people in this group that WILL check you if you say something and don't follow through.   At 1130 I'm strapping it up and hitting the road. 

What is everyone doing?  Put it out there. Public forum. 

Talk to me!!!!
