Nancy! I loved your edit. The goats say you're not unemployed.
Nancy, I forgot to ask you. You know who is regularly on my mind. That poor CT father/husband who lost his whole family to those ____________. Any news on him at all? It must be beyond he!!.
He actually got remarried this summer! Amazing, right? There are still tons of benefits, charity events, etc every year in honor of his wife and daughters who died. They were big into raising money for M.S.
The two rat bast-turds who committed the crime have both been tried and are both on death row. Of course, they'll probably just rot in jail as it is extremely unlikely Connecticut will execute them. Now, if this were Texas ...
Nancy, what is this crime you speak of? Someone you know lost his wife and kids?
Nobody I knew personally. They lived about an hour from me. Without ugly details, there was a home invasion and these 2 men killed a mother and her 2 daughters, and left the father (a doctor) for dead. Thankfully they were caught almost immediately. Gosh - it must have been 5 or so years ago now, yes Lisa?
So. Is this a good time to tell you that I was thinking about you when the Ironman was on this weekend? Seriously - you should consider a triathlon.
Nancy - The storm here was not so bad last years storm for us was awful - 7 days without power and about 12,000.00 in damages from trees landing on our pool and all over the yard. What part of Ct are you from? I am about 20 minutes east of Hartford.
Tracking works Nancy, it just does! yep...I had no freaking clue what you were talking about just 6 months ago when you were talking about tracking...now I think I'm an expert or something! I think it's like magic. I track, the scale moves.
I'm down 1.6
And have much to say. Will return.
Denise - STOP IT. None of this will matter when you're back at goal. And stop disrespecting lessons - gains are wonderful lessons in the end.
Okay I sound all aggressive.
Good for you for going back.
Lisa you are on fire!! Down Again!!! WAY TO GO!!
He actually got remarried this summer! Amazing, right?
I'm going to give you all permission to laugh... I don't know how to ride a bike. At all. My dad grew up in the city, we live on the top of a large hill... between the two he saw enough accidents that he felt we didn't need to learn. My brother end up teaching himself somewhere along the way then in turn taught my sister. I can swim... I was on a swim team every summer from 6 till 16. Obviously I can run. The idea of a triathlon has haunted me for awhile. I'm just not sure I can pick up riding well enough to do a tri. My friend's dad who does them thinks I could but I can't explain the sensation of trying to balance on a bike to someone who has been riding since they were a kid. It's very... odd.
Lisa- You asked what I was thinking on doing to up my athletics. I've over hauled my running schedule with my trainer which has been great but I find as much as I like that, I need to push myself in more then just running. I think the plan is to get the Insanity workouts to do in addition to my runs on run days. I'm going to try to challenge myself to do double workouts on those days. It'll be a challenge to be disciplined and hopefully it'll be a good added workout. I wish Tough Mudder and the races along those lines were more affordable, I'd do them all. I am trying to get signed up for more affordable mud/obstacle races. I'm doing an obstacle run and a 5k in November, a 5k in December and looking into longer races. (Not sure about that one in Florida, though I do have a four day park pass sitting here. Just not sure whats in my cards for that.) Oh and yoga... please don't judge but I love what yoga does for my body, I hate feeling like making sound is frowned upon. I'm not saying I will make noise but I hate feeling like if I make a noise people are judging. But I'm going to try to go more often, give my muscles a different workout. I guess I'm just craving more.
So let me catch up with all of you now that I've made this post about me....
We have FOUR days!!!
