Good Evening Everyone,,


Keith good to hear from you!!

 

[jenanderson]

Evening! I am so tired - no clue why since I did not even exercise today. I think it is because I know I have a week off now. I have been working so hard to make it to this point and now that vacation is here...I have just collapsed!

 

[sdchickie]

I'M BAAAACK! Did ya'll miss me? I stupidly downloaded the facebook virus that steals your passwords for online banking and stuff so my husband unpluged me from the internet. I was having withdrawls!!! So I just changed all my passwords (on another computer) and am not going to do any banking on this computer any more. I just had to plug the computer back in! Does anyone know how to get rid of that virus? I'm hoping that no one is charging stuff to my credit cards as I type this! Welcome to all the new cruisers! Congrats to all the runners, I'm still trying to get myself in shape. I just talked to my mom and found out she's in better shape than me. I asked her if she was interested in doing the 5K at Disney in Oct. with me and she said "I don't really like to run, how far is a 5K anyway?" When I told her it was 3.1 miles she said "Oh, I can do that, I run 4 miles on my tm with no problem." My reply - "You suck mom" I can still only run for a couple of min at a time and I've been doing this for almost a month. Can you imagine how much of a couch potato I was? But I'm still trying!

Hello Terri - Welcome back!

Sorry I can't help you with the virus...I use a Mac and they generally do not have to worry about getting a virus. I would have a horrible time if I was told I couldn't use my computer!

I have had a HORRIBLE week with running. DH had conferences and we had other commitments so I have not run since Tuesday! We are going out to run tomorrow NO MATTER WHAT! This is going to be a problem because I think it is suppose to rain but we will still have to go. Are you using a program to help you run or are you just running? I highly recommend the Couch to 5K program - DH and I could not run AT ALL when we started and tomorrow...I am signing us up for a 1/2 marathon in June!

Hi Kristin Hi Jen
sdchickie that sucks! You can get rid of the trojan but you don't know if they've already got your info. You might want to check with your bank. I had a trojan once and it took me 2 days to get rid of it. Once I thought I was done with the usual software (anti virus, anti spyware, registry fixer etc) I gave my laptop to my step dad's computer geek nephew. I remember as I was sitting beside him and he was splitting a gut saying wow this was a good one. Apparantly the damage was more than just passwords. I never banked from this laptop again.

 

[sdchickie]

I read that you are doing the 1/2 marathon, how many miles is that? I guess you really liked the first race you ran, with the exception of the wardrobe malfunction! How long did it take you to run the whole 5K? I'm not doing any program, I just run every other day and I started just running in the courts for as long as I could, now I can run the courts and a little of the main roads in my neighborhood. The only thing I don't like is that everyone lets their dogs run loose around here and they like to run with me which kinda freaks me out. The couple of times I've had to call animal control they told me that they were at the bottom of the county and it would take them an hour to get up to my area (thanks guys, that's really helpful)!

Yeah, this computer was new last fall so we don't have much on it. I spent 7 hours saving all my photos on to discs so I can have my computer geek nephew wipe the whole thing and start over. If that doesn't take care of it nothing will!

Happy beginning of spring break!!!!!!! What is everyone doing with their time off?

I am sad to say that I will not be doing anything fun over spring break. My plans include cleaning the house, organizing the basement, doing laundry, and other things around the house.

I will also be working on my running. Paul and I are going to work at getting new shoes and finding our next running plan. We are going to sign up for the 1/2 marathon in June and we need to get moving again!

For fun, we will be having a Disney night at home. We will cook a fun dinner, play Disney music and then watch the Princess & the Frog. Ben and I are planning some surprises for the family (think FE gifts) and other goodies for the night. It should be loads of fun!

Sounds nasty! This is one of the reasons why I love my Mac - there are many reasons but I do like that I don't worry too much about getting a virus.

Ok Jen, what is team rebel alliance?

LOL ya that should do it. I'd still contact the back and anyplace else that may have been affected, credit cards etc just to check for unauthorized activity. Sucks but you learn right?

1/2 Marathon = 13.1 miles

We loved our first run! It was a 7K (4.2 miles). It took us 46 minutes. We can easily do a 5K in 35 minutes at this point.

We will now have to work at increasing our distance which might slow down our pace at first but I am sure after a time our pace will pick up again.

I really dislike running when there are dogs. Last week DH and I were out running and some guy let his dog out. The dog came running and jumped at me. His claws scratched and cut the skin on my stomach, he got caught up in my iPod earphones and ripped them out and I was totally freaked out. I am always a bit cautious when we run in that area now.

Ok Jen, what is team rebel alliance?

On the DIS, there is a section called the WISH...here is some information right from the site:

Within the DISboards, there is a group of DISers that like to talk about getting healthy or staying healthy, and all of the things that entails. They are called W.I.S.Hers.

Within W.I.S.H there are smaller teams of about 20 people each. You do not have to be on a team to be a member of W.I.S.H and you do not have to be a member of W.I.S.H to be on a team. They are just a way for smaller groups of people to get to know each other and to offer more personalized advice and suggestions.

My small team, Rebel Alliance, helps to support one another in our healthy lifestyle. Most of the focus is on our running and it is a great place for me to ask some "seasoned" runners for advice. I really get a lot of support and information from them and it is so helpful as I have transformed into a runner!

I did see the FB notice that they will be releasing more information about the Dream on Tuesday - I was so excited when I saw that!!! I hope it is not the same old stuff that they keep putting out. It will be great if it is something that is actually new.

Hi Terri, Jen, Denis, Karen and anyone else who is out there............

Terri, I have gotten two viruses on my computer. It took a computer geek at my husbands work to get rid of the first one. This last one Bruce was able to get rid of it..Those computer viruses are icky!!

 

[kritter]

My kids don't even get the whole week off, only a few days. Two years ago we got NO spring break at all, you never know what our district is going to do.

We just got back from Hot Tub Time Machine!!! What a riot!!! All you people who are old like me will really appreciate it!

Seriously...you don't always get a spring break? I could never work for your district! I need the break from the kids as much as they need a break from me!
