Bike it to the MAX in June Ghoulies!!! (Page 80)

kcarroll - 2010-06-29 9:32 AM Morning Ann!  Anything exciting on tap for today?

ceilidh - 2010-06-29 9:32 AM Changing the subject, but
I finally finally finally got an appointment with an Endocrinologist. This is HUGE news. I have a ton of the symptoms of hypothyroidism however, when you are a female of a certain age, what you get is that the problem is your age. I have been saying BS to that for a while but could not get into the Endo without a referral from the Doc that will not refer. I found one that will take me on....

Now, let's just hope that they can figure out why I am a human sloth.

A hill run this afternoon. How exciting is that?

kcarroll - 2010-06-29 9:40 AM

I need to do some hill runs.  We're going to have hills the first 8 miles or so in DC.  

I had a lovely swimmy this morning.  A bunch of *new* guys came to masters today.  I recognized them from another masters group that I tried.  They are monsters. All former collegiate swimmers, now in their 40's and 50's.  6 to a lane and they tear it up.  3 x 400 for the w/u.  It was like a washing machine swimming in the lane next to them.  Good practice though as I have an ocean tri in less than 2 weeks.

This brings me to two questions...

Were they are on your left or your right?

Did you breathe on whichever side they were on so you could sneak a peek?

ceilidh - 2010-06-29 9:33 AM

Morning Kim.

The only thing I have exciting is that I am doing a rain dance today.

kcarroll - 2010-06-29 9:52 AM

They were on my left.  I also happen to breathe much better on my left.  Today I was working on my kick so I did not try to complicate things by breathing to my right.   In the interest of improving, you know?

kcarroll - 2010-06-29 9:59 AM

Robin is rain dancing!   Maybe we need have a virtual, synchronized, Ghoulie dance today?  What about at 2pm?  I have nothing on the calendar then and am happy to dance with you in my office.  It will just confirm to my co-workers that I am a bit "off."  I like them to think that.  Means they keep their distance.

I'm free at 2. For those of you across the country it is 2 pm EST, adjust accordingly.

kcarroll - 2010-06-29 9:49 AM Guess what Ghouls???? I am working today and then OFF for the rest of the week!! Yippee!! And, next Monday is a company holiday to boot!!  I need to use up some vacation time, so tomorrow I am going into the city with a friend.  We're going to take a "zero-gravity" yoga class.  Not sure exactly what this entails but will report back.  After yoga, I have an appt for a haircut and then we will probably just ramble around the village or SoHo.  

Thursday I'm heading up to VT.  It's my mom's 70th birthday and most of the fandamily will be converging.   Back to NJ on either Sat or early Sunday.  Fireworks Sunday evening on the golfcourse and a few long runs and biking sprinkled in wherever I can find a gap.

I *heart* summer.

kcarroll - 2010-06-28 7:12 PM Had dinner with some friends tonight and they are trying to convince me to do this race.  Must admit, I am tempted although it's awfully close to MCM to be running an obstacle course.  Hmmmmmm.  I like that the last two are the 'warrior roast' (leaping over fire) and the 'muddy mayhem' (slithering thru mud under barbed wire).

Here is some traditional music that we can start with, but I think we also need to get a bit more contemporary.....maybe Beyonce?

Gypsy by Shakira makes me want to dance

kcarroll - 2010-06-29 10:10 AM

Good one, and I have it on my nano which is plugged into the docking station.  Shakira it is.

A couple of my friends are doing a Warrior Dash out here.  They talked to me about doing it also, but I haven't checked it out yet.  Sounds interesting!

ceilidh - 2010-06-29 10:24 AM It is the end of the month and we haven't figured out what we are going to do next month. I have my HM running but I have to get on the bike. Yep, even though we were supposed to bike this month, I have been focusing on my hills. That is when I have been focusing on any training at all.

Any ideas Ghoulies?

ironannekidd - 2010-06-29 10:25 AM

I'm running and I'm pretty sure Kim is running. You are running. Everyone else should be running, too. So let's go with running. We are going to run our azz's off in July!
