Hello Everyone!! It's Friday!!!

Well I have to admit it, you guys inspired me! We got our tax refund today and I went out and found some UnderArmor shirts. Then I went out for my first cold weather workout ever!! I walked four miles on the snowcovered bikepath that I usually run on. I learned several things...

1) Working out in the cold isn't that bad
2) It does get colder as the sun goes down
3) The shirts are warm
4) I can really see the doggie doo in the snow
5) I can't wait for Spring!! (36 degrees today)

----------------
Thanks to everyone for the advice for booking early and on the buses during the WDW Marathons. It's much appreciated!! Has anyone decided where they are staying?

Margie~ Thanks for asking how I'm doing! My leg has calmed down quite a bit and feels okay. I start work again on Monday night. I work third shift, so I'll be adjusting for a couple of weeks....

Dave~ Hang in there! I'm living proof that there is life after divorce. Things will improve. I promise it.

Kristie~ Great award! Put that one out for show!
----------------

Thanks to everyone for talking about their workouts, it got me outside today!

-Mike

 

[Motomiker]

P.S.

International Motorcycle Show tomorrow!! Yes, Lots of shiney things that go really fast!!! I want that one, and that one, and look at that one....

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Margie, Yeah, I think that's what he's most bummed about.

I gained another decent runner on the track team on Thursday.

AFM, weather is gogeous here! 60 degrees (still cold 30s in the morning). 6.5 miles in 53 minutes.

Best,
Jennifer

Hi Y'all.

Well I went out this morning and did a good five mile training walk. The sun was out but it was 25 degrees and I have a cold so I decided to keep it at 5 miles. It was a very comfortable 13:05 pace on my regular hill route.

Margie I'm going to have to meet you up there somewhere for a race this year. You doing anything half way?

I'm thinking more each day that the Goofy is going to happen again. Not sure why except "I frog flippin love it"!!! Grrrrrrrr!!!

Thank you Mike.

Have a restful evening guys.

Dave

 

[windwalker]

Ok I'm posting to myself here, come on athletes wake up, the sun is shining and the pudge cells are marshalling their forces to attact our waistlines. Up and at it warriors....

I'm off to work but got in a good pool workout this morning. The panda is on a new quest to be the best panda he can be. Eating properly, exercising hard and regularly inspite of the weather.

I'm about ready to commit to Goofy again, I know I have lost it but I will probably commit on March 1st.

Dave

Good Morning Team!

Sunshine again today – the snow piles are getting a bit smaller.

Connie- How was your lunch with SIL yesterday? Hope your foot is feeling better. Training...You have the Oklahoma City Half coming up in April … Correct?

Dave-Nice 5-miler this morning. What races are you and your team doing this year? Good Grief-I cannot keep up with you! I have not registered for any races so far this year. I was going to do the Martian Half April 6th, but so many other time commitments I will not be able to.

Denise, Hope, and Jack – wishing you sunshine and a Great Weekend!

Jennifer- sometimes we never know who we inspire! I hope the girls catch your love of running.

Kim- Is your foot problem healed?

Kristy- so sorry to hear both of your chairs are broken! Will the repairs take long? What do you do for training when these things happen?

Lynn and MaryJ – wishing you sunshine and a Great Weekend!

Mike- Motorcycle show…would love it too! Have had the joy of owning once upon a time.

Pam, Robert, and Shannan- wishing you sunshine and a Great Weekend!

Scott- are able to get some down time this weekend to enjoy moments at home with Lynn & the dogs, and even get some sleep.

Sue– hope you have beautiful weather for your run!

Vicky- I have been wondering-do you work with a PT each time you go to the gym? They are way too expensive here...I did have one to get me started. I alternate lower & upper body sessions. I am trying to get a good ABS program figured out now. What do you do? BTW were you scheduled for additional blood work? All okay? Will check with DD to see if she got the picture emailed?

AFM: My little Hagen is having way too much fun shredding papers for me. Plan to go to the gym when Hagen's Mommy picks him up this afternoon.

Enjoy the moments!

 

[funwalker]

PS: WTG ... I must say it is Brave of you to Register for the Goofy. Is any of your team able to go? It would be so nice to have others to train with! Oh, Kim will be thrilled to have a walking buddy!

 

[syko]

Vicky I don't have that many, alot of races either don't give us anything, or win takes all. So it's a surprize when I get one!!

Mike I have a 3 year old running around, it's staying in its box. One day I might get something to but awards / medals on.

Margie repairs are down to $$$ i'm hoping to have one back on the road next month, the other in time for Boston.
As for training all I can do is use the indoor trainer......but I hate.

It's finally warm here today, of to MK this afternoon.

 

[wdw4us]

Hi everyone!

Hurt my lower back the other day, I think from the elliptical, go figure, I love that thing but when your body says no and you ignore it, you pay which I did. Went for a massage and she stretched me, we had a lot of giggles over that and today I feel great.

Last night we went out to dinner and ran into friends, she's a quilter and he's an acquaintance of Mark, sat together and laughed a lot. It sure helped my back relax. Today Miranda the princess and I went for 4 miles. A sunny day here in NH. Took us about an hour but it was difficult with some snow remaining on the sidewalks, puddles and dog poo to avoid. Fresh air was a refreshing change.

Off to the shower now, dinner at the daughters tonight and then who knows what tomorrow but a walk for sure!

Good Morning Team!

It is snowing here for the second day. We got about 3 inches on Thursday, and we are supposed to get another 3-6 inches today, at least there is no wind with it, so we are not in a white out! Scott is in Washington (State) and is flying home today, just hoping that he can make it home from Denver. I was warm enough yesterday to make the roads wet – so todays snow is over ice. This mornings walk was a bit slower than usual, I kept slipping on the ice under the new snow. I will head down to the basement and ride the bike for a bit after finishing my coffee. Knee has not been too bad lately, just need to keep up the exercise, as that seems to help the most.

Dave – congrats on the weight loss! Good luck with the credit rating problems.
I agree on the curling, I watched it for awhile, and did not understand it at all!

Denise – love the quilts!!!!

Jennifer – good deal gaining good runners on your track team!

Kristie – great award, nice surprise. Hope you get your chairs fixed so you can enjoy the outdoors (if the weather ever cooperates).

Glad to hear the weather is better on the east coast, hope it stays that way for awhile!

Mike – do not buy too many motorcycles!!!

Kim – Keep up the great work!

Hi to all that I missed!

Have a great week all!

 

[GirTheGecko]

My stint is out. It was HUGE. At least eight inches before the curly qs. No wonder it drove me crazy. Nick took a photo for future reference. And we posted it on Facebook. He was also very impressed by Dr. M zipping in and out for it. Took under a minute, a very miserable (for me) under a minute. Hope this is the end of my kidney problems.

Bunnyfoo- The premiere is tomorrow for the film 'The Pond.'

syko- Congrats on your plate! Wish I had the mailman show up with something shiny from Tiffany's for me! Hopefully your chairs will be back in action soon.

 

[windwalker]

Hi Lynn how are you princess, we don't get to see nearly enough of you. Bet your excited about that upcoming adventure.

Hope glad you free of that thing. You are going to do much better now.

We had another pretty day today, I missed it cause I worked day shift but I'm glad we had it. Tomorrow I'll be up early for a 4 miler either in the mall or outside depending on the temp and whether or not it's raining.

Next week looks like this:

Sunday: 4 mile walk moderate

Monday: Speed work, 5 miles total

Tues: Pool running and upper body work

Wed: 8 miles with Group moderate

Thur: Pool running and upper body work

Friday: 4 to 5 mile walk training moderate

Saturday: Pool running upper body work.

There is no rest day since I'll be working opposite muscles every other day. The wed workout with the group will increase to a max of 12 miles and I'll be doing a half marathon 4 times during the year. This will be my training plan for Goofy and for the State Games.

Dave

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Margie and Lynn Thanks!

Dave I hope you do join us for Goofy 11!

7.75 miles in 1hour 7 minutes. Enjoying the Southern Sunshine!

Jennifer

 

[Hockeychic]

Hey gang, just sitting here on DD's laptop watching the olympics by myself, DH and DS are playing hockey tonight, dd is at a friends...only reason I can be using her lap top

Hope everyone is having a awesome night

 

[windwalker]

Good morning y'all.

After a good 10 hr sleep I'm feeling awesome today. I guess I must have needed that.

On tap today is a 4 miler, probably at the mall. It's 39 degrees but that doesn't feel to bad after all those days in the low 20s.

Have a magical day dear friends.

Dave

 

[Scott H]

Finally Home, Long travel day yesterday. House stuff and snow ot shovel today.

Trying to catch up wiyth everybody, sounds like folks are doing good.

Very KEWL Plate, that is great.

Dave you are really getting after it, WTG

Mike, you can never have too many Motorbikes. Would be a fun show to go to,

Pups are fed and I know I haev missed a bunch here , so do take care

 

[Hockeychic]

Hey Scott glad you made it home safe and sound. Hope it was a successful trip.

Good luck with your 4M today Dave.

Mike and I are just out for a 30 - 40 min walk today. Tomorrow starts the "official" training plan for our 1/2 at the end of May. Anxious to get at it.

Lots of Olympic hockey on today....wahoooo

 

[windwalker]

I had a wonderful walk this morning at the mall, I was feeling the power of that 10 hours of sleep. 4 mile walk 49:28 that included a slower first mile to warm up. Feeling very optimistic today about this year.

Scott I decided to do the Goofy again, yes I've lost my mind.

Kimmer I need to got up that way again soon.

Dave

 

[funwalker]

Good Morning Team!

We under a severe Weather Alert – 6-12 inches of snow.

Question: do any of you guys have a microwave with a convection oven in it? I am looking at the GE Profile - any reviews? Of course I have taken two extra kids for the months of March & April to pay for this!

Connie- as we have not heard from you for awhile I take it you are still not feeling good? What’s happening? We miss you!

Dave-Nice 4-miler this morning. Sleep is way nice for the body too!
Training schedule sounds good to me! Would like the pool workouts, but pool time around here is too pricey.

Denise, Hope, Jack, Jennifer, Kim, Kristy, Lynn, MaryJ, Pam, Robert, Shannan – wishing you sunshine and a Great Weekend!

Mike- How was the Motorcycle Show?

Scott- Glad you made it home safely – Lynn said you guys were getting a storm. She was concerned the drive from Denver could be hazardous.

Sue– Looks like more shoveling is in the immediate future for me.

Vicky-

AFM: Could not get going today - listening to the Live Feed for our Worship Service this morning.

Enjoy the moments!
