Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 87)

evidently you did not see those old Lays potato chip ads (am I aging myself??) you know the ones where they pick up a bag and someone says...I bet you cant just eat one...and then before long they pan back and the bag has been completely demolished! well I would have been great for that ad! I now try and by the small bags of chips for my husband who must have them....I have a bag every so often but very far and in between....sooooo good job on not being the sucker I was and the one in the commercial! kiu! soon you will be a few sizes smaller and thinking how much you used to crave items and they no longer even cross your mind! GOOD JOB SUSIE! can you have your roommate call my husband and tell him the no ice cream thing in the house...cuz that is my DOWN FALL! love a little ice cream in the evening! and I must admit the freezer almost always has it in there! doh!

Running in fog sounds SPOOKY !

You are all doing riding/swimming/biking........I'm so pleased that you are all making awesome progresss !

I'm hoping tomorrow will be better than the past few days........so tired !  I am sending you all good thoughts and strong workouts !!!  Hope to be back at it in a few days, I get withdrawls (withdraws sp?...... ) well i miss it !! lol 

GO TEAM !!!!

let us know so we can play the drum rolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll before!

Even though it had been charged up, when I tried to use it this morning the Garmin (Forerunner 305) said it had low battery and shut down shortly after. It's done this at least once before. It seems to be having issues lately where I have to do a reset before it will do anything. I hope it's not dying since it is out of warranty.

Of course having the HRM working will make you faster! Absolutely!

I've run in morning fog a few times. It's kinda cool, otherworldly, like running in a cocoon.

It sounds like you are still recovering from your triathlon. Give it another day and then try to do something light, an easy run or bike or swim, to get back into it.

funny you would think we would get all kinds of thick fog in my area...but I never ever hardly get it here...we used to get it worse when we lived in the valley and Julie you should remember all the fog days we would get throughout the year....where I live now has a sign as you enter our downtown area...(Redwood City...CLIMATE BEST BY GOVERNMENT TEST) it is on a large arch that was constructed back in the 50's when I am sure on of thier earmarked fundings was to test various areas of the united states and find the area with the best climate! HAPPY TO REPORT...RWC won! and I tend to agree. I have lived in 40 of the states and I have to say that I love the climate here....

that is of course if you do not have to swim year round outdoors! haha

There's no reason why you should be paying for both. Try to hang in there and wait for some info and answers on Thursday.

Why two households?  Shouldn't you just be responsible for you?  That's only fair.  Otherwise, make him go find an apartment and you move back in.  Just my two cents...

well thats one how do ya do!!?? you mean to tell me they are calling you the day before!?! how rude! sorry girl! did you reschedule?

and its almost your birthday and you can whine if you want to! whine away!

AND LET ME BE THE FIRST TO WISH YOU A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY...what other plans do you have?

things will iron out...including money issues! for the time being try and live as you are...and let things settle a bit! know it can be hard and you probably feel like you are in the way...but believe you me she is probably loving having you and loves being able to help you out! I have done this for a few friends and they thank me to this day for it! so hang tight! and just be thrifty as you can...eat in, shop thrift stores if you have to...but dont even think about returning to that louse...dont give in!!! do you have items that you can sell on ebay for a little extra cash??? hang in there....and never EVER EVER think you are being a downer! you have a lot going on and I am very impressed with how well you are handling all that is thrown at yoU! VERY PROUD OF MY NEWEST SISTA!!! hang tough girl! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

that is a big TEXAS hug coming your way! hope I didnt strangle you with it!?!

Sledge - 2009-03-10 4:55 PM I had an interesting track workout tonight.  It was the first time we've been out on the track since before Christmas.  We "warmed up" the first mile and a half by increasing the pace every lap. That would have been fine, but Dan is a much faster runner than I am, and by the third lap I look at my Garmin and we're doing 7:59! Anyway, after that we did three 300 meters and two 200 meters, all with full recovery between. And according to Dan, that was an easy workout because we only did it for half an hour! No wonder I call him Torture Dan.

I want to be fast like you!! does that mean I have to have a torture Dan in my life! I already have a torture Don on my bike routes! (Don is my dh)

I could sure use a Torture Don.  In my blog I was just whining about not doing enough biking.  I've tried to get my dh to ride, but he's just not interested.   

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to figure out a way to push myself.

Hi,

My ankle isn't bad, but it's hurt just enough that I know it. It was ok to swim today but I'm not sure if I should try biking to work with it tomorrow. I'm definitely skipping my next run.

The salon said they could reschedule my massage for the weekend but that next exactly the same thing is it? Doesn't get me a massage ON MY BIRTHDAY! I haven't tried calling elsewhere yet and I'm not sure I feel in the mood to deal with it anymore. Feh!

I got my ribs birthday dinner on Sunday, just me and Michele, but we'll probably do something else tonight with the kids and probably my mom. I haven't really decided what I want. Can't do anything until my son is home from lax practice and his guitar lesson.

I'm now 48 and I don't know why I persist in the idea that the day of my birth should be special. It seems that more often than not I end up disappointed. It's not like when we were kids and it could be all about us. These days there's too much other mundane life stuff going on.

My swim evaluation (birthday present) is on March 29.

Thanks for the well-wishes.

tadaaaaaa!!! 4 pages of reading and i'm CAUGHT UP!!  sorry i've been gone so much lately guys-i've seriously been running around like a crazy chick the last couple days. monday i had to take pie pie to the dr (ear infection and pneumonia-NO running for HER this week!!) then yesterday i had to do my coscto run, and, i don't know, 100 other things. today i have internet errands to run ( i pay a lot of my bills online) and i'm breaking in my NEW RUNNING SHOES!!! yay! i can't wait! i've needed new shoes since last fall--how many miles are you supposed to put on a pair of shoes? like no more than 400? i think these have closer to 800 or 900 miles on them. sorta sad (and yet sorta cool)
julee-did you get the cookies? were they rock hard and nasty by the time they got to you?!?
nicole-your birthday IS special, no matter HOW many of them you've had, and don't get yourself in to thinking it's not!!! mundane crap can WAIT 24 hours while you celebrate how awesome you are!!!
susie-you rock the weight loss woman! you're so strong, and you're doing so well! you are ONLY responsible for YOU, and don't let that jerk try to get you to think otherwise. there's no reason why you should have to split HIS utility bill with him!! are YOU using his utilities?? HECK NO! dump him and run woman! you're so much stronger than him!
julie-take it easy as much as you need to woman! a first tri takes a while to recover from, especially when you have so many other ailments. there's no need to rush back in to anything, just EASE back in to a training program--

i can't remember what else i was going to say. anyway, i've missed you guys the last couple of days!!
