Gabbing Gobblers - November Challenge (Page 40)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

*Sigh* I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I'm glad you got to 105%. On the other, it means I have one less person to taser.....

Ah well. There's always next month.

That is funny, I saw a small flock of wild turkeys on my way into work yesterday too.  About  6 of them picking through the fields for leftover corn!

Happy turkey DAy  Gobblers! I am happy to be sitting still.  Cooking, eating and clean-up are done, no office work until Monday, got a 5 miler in this morning and have a Turkey trot on Sat and longer run on Sunday.  Hoping to swim tomorrow.  Woo Hoo for active time off!!

Hope you all are enjoying a wonderful evening with friends and family!!  We all have many blessing to be thankful for and I can start by thanking you all for helping me to keep myself going forward in living a healthier life!

Nice going Stacie!!  I love your continuous swim goal!!

Hey Gobblers. Just to not let you guys down I got my minimum in today. Just by the skin of my teeth.
(weird saying, that!)
Have a great evening Gobblers.

Okay gobblers.  One more session on strength and I'll be at 100%.

Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  Hubby and I worked the Atlanta marathon and 1/2 marathon.  There were 100 runners in the marathon and 10,000 in the half.  It was a lot of fun.

Do you ever wonder where certain sayings originated from?

From the Word Detective;

"The source of the phrase "by the skin of one's teeth" is indeed the Book of Job, although the precise phrase Job used was "My bone cleaveth to my skin, and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth" (not "by"). Just what the "skin" of one's teeth might be is a bit unclear, but it probably refers to the thin porcelain exterior of the tooth, not the gums. Job evidently kept his teeth, but just barely. It is also possible that he was saying that the margin of his escape was as narrow as the "skin" of a tooth is shallow -- the equivalent of a "hair's breadth." In any case, Job clearly meant that he'd had a very hard time of it, and the phrase has been used ever since to mean a very narrow or arduous escape."

Wondering how the MFDT massage went?

So are it is a quiet day at the library today.  Just a ton of books in the bookdrop that need attention, but customerwise, we are quieter than normal right now. 

Good!  The PF is doing a lot better as is my ITB.  Planning to go back next month. 

Yay! That is good news!

an xtra continuous mile swim for good measure + 700 yds.

final ST session tomorrow.

Hey Gabbing Gobblers! Hope everyone had a nice weekend.  I was able to get my extra run in but didn't do the extra swim.....was feeling a little worn out and didn't want to have to go to the pool.....Sorry....I was able to get to 103%.  Anyone interested in running next mos challenge.  I could help but do not know enough computer stuff to run the challenge.  I am old enough that my freshman chem class in college only allowed slide rules......

Have a good one!

Hey all. Got a stretch session in last night, and a swim session in today. Sorry I have been MIA lately, my asthma's been acting up. In the winters here we get this phenomenon called inversions, where the cold air from the mountians comes down the canyons and traps the even colder air in the valley. All of the pollution/car emissions/etc get trapped as well, and then the Salt Lake Valley looks more like L.A. And my lungs weren't particularly fond of the inversion air this week.I did have a nice Thanksgiving. It was nice to have hubby home and asleep on the couch, LOL. He's healing well from his surgery, and Africa was, well, as nice as a third world country could be to someone with a recent injury and surgery. I have 3 more sessions to fit in. I'll get there. One tonight, and 2 tomorrow.

WAHOO!!!  I've been doing some dble's and if I can manage to get my swim and wog in tomorrow I'll be done!!!

And best of all....

I wogged on pavement tonight (and it didn't feel that bad at all )

Session #8 done. Now for session #9 and #10 tomorow, and I'll be 100%.

Morning Team! I had a great Thanksgiving up north with my mom and rest of the family. Got a nice run in with my daughter and dog...but only one. Would have loved to get more in but I have been getting migraines and had 2 while there. I did get another run in this morning after taking the kids to school. Will see about another run at the Y. Need one more ST and one more run to be 100%. Have a great Monday!

Happy Monday, Gobblers! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I had a very enjoyable 4-day weekend with my brother-in-law and family visiting from Florida. As I predicted, it's a good thing I exceeded goal prior to Thanksgiving because I was a BUM the entire weekend. With our visitors staying until late Saturday and then the kids INSISTING on putting up all our Christmas decorations, a workout was all but impossible. If work permits, I'll try to get over to the gym today at lunch for a 30-45 min swim to finish up the month on a high note. Thanks to everyone for the inspiration over the past month. GO GOBBLERS!

Happy Monday, team!  I have one more bike workout to do and I'll do that after work today!
