Hi team! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Gerry - Congrats on your 5K! Do you have a picture of the medal? $25 for a 5K sounds quite reasonable. I've noticed that in the last year, race entry fees (Disney or otherwise) have increased a bit. There are races in Toronto that unless you get in on the early bird price, are actually quite expensive.
Elizabeth - You're just like me! Every time I'm doing a treatment with my PT or chiro, I'm always peppering them with questions! There's a lot of information out there and I'd rather hear what the experts have to say. Did they say when you're going to get your orthotics back?
Kim - I hope DH is feeling better soon
Do you think he's going to be home tomorrow? I'm thinking of registering for the Sporting Life 10K and the Acura 10 Miler. I haven't done the 10K before but liked the 10 Miler last year ... well except for the heat and humidity. Tomorrow is the early bird deadline to register so I'm going to ask my chiro about whether she thinks I'll be okay to run.
Beth - That sounds awful! Sorry your run was interrupted by the tourists
My first thought when I read your post was the tour groups at Disney. Oh boy! Ever run into them? Occasionally, I get people here out for a walk and they'll just take up the sidewalks and expect me to run on the grass around them. Um, no. Then they'll yell at me for sneaking up on them or running "too fast". I wish! How are your calves doing? I vote for a massage! But I'll use just about any excuse to go
Regina - WTG on the running! The run/walk intervals are a great idea for easing back into running
Anytime I think of bootcamp, I always think of "G.I. Jane" but I wonder how accurate that movie was. Originally, I wasn't going to go marathon weekend in 2012. My goal was to go to Honolulu but I priced it out and thought it was silly to do one race for the price of 2-3. So I'm probably going to register for MCM and definitely think about Disney. Are you and Kyle going? Brunch was a lot of fun - we did a little bit of window shopping and then Whole Foods shopping afterward.
Mary -
for your sore throat! Make sure DH is taking good care of you! Lots of people out running here too! It's not warm but the sidewalks and roads have dried up which makes running easier.
Emily - Good luck with your running this weekend!
Mike -
Sorry to be a chocolate cake enabler
I have a hard time saying no to sweets! Do some of the days from the 11 count as overtime or do you get a lot of days off after you're done the 11? I love the Flower and Garden Festival - I love all the topiaries! And I love that you put The Monkees in brackets!
Sue - Not that you should but, the ATB bib is pretty easy to get rid of. Last year, there were a ton of people over on the RR boards asking to buy one. I'll add you to the racing calendar as well. Is DH running with you? I do want to try that one another year because I didn't realize they gave out different medals depending on your finishing time.
AFM - I made it to the gym yesterday and rode the spin bike for 30 minutes. I thought it would be moderately easy but kudos to everyone who does spinning as part of their workout. I don't think I'd survive a class. I had the tension turned all the way down and it was still hard.
And then I promptly used all those calories I burned at brunch. I had apple pancakes and a chocolate almond croissant! Yummy! The pancakes were made with a chestnut flour so I wonder if that counts as whole wheat or something healthy
I'm back in the gym tomorrow and will probably do a 30 minute training session followed by treatment. My chiro is bringing in thinner needles and will do acupuncture on my ankle. I didn't want to do that because I didn't like the acupuncture on my ankles last year but she says because these needles are thinner, I won't notice them.
Have a great day everyone!
PRs are so fun!
, if I could increase my time and not be on the course for 7 hours I might consider but I do know if I feel I could pull off another full, I will be in for goofy again.
I haven't been working out as much lately because of the ankle. My chiro won't let me even do certain weight exercises because of it. But I'm going to clean up my eating next month so that should help. If you did another full, do you think you could do run/walk intervals for half of the race? That might help with time, maybe? Halfs are definitely more manageable, especially for training.
