Team Vixen - Dec. Limiter Challenge (Page 77)

Evenin' vixens- Given everyone's scale experiences I can only conclude that there has been a sudden increase in the earth's gravitational field and it is best that I not weigh myself until the new year.

Kristin- glad to hear that your ear is better. 

For those experienced runners I need advice: I am looking at runnning plans. Hyannis (2/22/09) will be my first half.  Several of the programs have the maximum long run at10 miles.  Is this long enough or should I use a program that has a 12 mile longest run. I am nervous but also don't want to do too much and risk getting injured.  I am babying my knees as it is.

it is impossible that you gained 9 lbs in a week - you would have had to have consumed 31,500 calories over and above what you would normally eat to maintain your weight - probably just lots of water retention

start  pumping in lots of water to flush out your system

That seems to be the case for most of the novice plans (I definitely qualify as a novice )  - anyhoo, the person that recommended it to me used it for his first 1/2 mary, he said the race day energy carried him through the last part of the race

fwiw, it's been working really well for me, and I feeel really confident that I'll be able to do the distance when the time comes

tomorrow I do an 8 miler

ok - so I made my dinner, poured some wine and am watching Sleepless in Seattle.  Scared to admit it....Have I become one of the vixen chicks????

I can't wait for my ironman training to start.  I'm just lost without a definite plan.  It starts Monday by the way.  My doc taped up my knee yesterday and actually I think that's doing some good - it doesn't seem to have that slight bit of swollenness to it today.

Heh!  Sound like a great night.  I'm out of wine.....HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN???  Ummmm, maybe when you drink a bottle a night for the past month.......oops!  Anyway, I have been trying to watch what I eat yesterday and today.  I did really well today until tonight.  I was sooooo hungry I was starting to feel sick.  So, I ate everything around.  Pizza and pasta.  Ugh.  Not the best choice.  Oh well, tomorrow is another day, right?

You CANT run out of wine at the holidays!!!!

Just hangin out with the family. I decided to go back to Chicago tomorrow, which didn't go over so well, so I'm making the most of tonight. What's up with you?
