MAY "You MAY Pick" Challenge--ALL WELCOME! (Page 9)

Another mile down with my little monkey!  We are up to 11 and over halfway to our goal!  Go Great Whites!!! 

I have my 5K Saturday morning and I just picked up my race bib....

I'M NUMBER 1!!

which, of course, only means I was the first to pay last Fall, but still kinda cool.

go Sharks!

I was right there with ya until you said something about a large beast with sharp teeth

#1, how awesome is that? GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN!!! and have a blast tomorrow!

YAY Sharkie!!

If you want a great beer float.... try the Cocoa Molé by New Belgium with some vanilla ice cream.  It was hands down the best ever beer float that I have ever had.  Here is a link (http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/detail.aspx?id=c9128456-8bc5-4565-afc6-a2ddf8af1fb9).

I squeezed in a strength workout before bed last night and hope/plan to do another one tonight. I might have to step up my game on the Chinese articles, though. Once I travel to my race next week, there ain't no way I will be reading Chinese.

Go Reefers!

Lost two pounds.

No cupcakes or anything even resembling a cupcake in days. :-)

50% of my workout goal done in ONE bike ride! Go me!!!!

Might not be the best way of getting back into a routine but who cares! I did something and thats what i wanted out of the challenge!

Woo hoo!

Nice work, Catherine. Even nicer since you're a Reefer. Go Reefers!

I'm still feeling like I'm #1!

I had a great 5K - met my goals and, after showering, put my race belt back on and wore my number all day so there would be no doubt I'm #1!

Thank you everyone for taking your moms to brunch, I had the pool to myself at noon today and got in a good SHARKie swim.

Cynthia

to all the kinds of Moms!!!

I upped my walking goal to 200min since it's not even halfway through May and I'm already over goal.

If any of you have folks on your teams who haven't checked in/updated their progress (I know some goals are all-or-nothing so don't worry about those), can you please inspire them? Thanks.

First thing on the Mother's Day agenda was REEFER TIME!!!   Core workout with my son and vitamins handed to me with my mother's day omelet by my daughter....it's all about reaching REEFER goals

Also had an awesome family bike ride later in the day - ahhhh!!

My update: 

Well, weekend swim plans foiled due to weather, work, and stomach issues requiring me to stay close to a toilet. Ew.

Made up for it with a killer swim session this morning of 3400 yards. That's almost twice what I normally do, and if the evening ride tonight gets rained out, I'll go back for another 1000 of purely technique and backstroke to get back on goal track. Otherwise, I'll have to swim 4 days per week for the rest of the month!

On the job in Asheville front, I've officially applied for one as a product development associated, which will require document filing, technical writing, and some graphic design (all of which I've got experience in), and hubby and I have worked out that we could afford at least 6 months of rent (in a modest apartment) in addition to our mortgage here in TN, so hopefully we can fix a few things around our house, put in on the market, and get our move on by August. Will do more job-searching and application tomorrow when I have more time.
