Hakuna Matata - a WISH family that's all heart!

[windwalker]

Kristy, I like the way you think princess. I'm dumb enough to think I can medal in the National Senior Olympics next year, just have to knock off a trio of current world record holders in my age group. Next year you will hear the panda rowr all the way from Huston, I'm going after it this time. Last time I was 8th and had just trained to get there healthy and place in the top ten.

Margie, I'm doing the half at the Derby and then one here, not sure where I'll race after that. Next year I will probably do the Disney full but not sure yet.

Scott and Lynn, how is the weather there now? I had a day with sun in the 40s and it felt like spring.

Robert and Linda, glad y'alls race directing and timing business is doing good.

Denise, you will have Hope whipped into shape in no time. I hope I can meet you guys for a race sometime.

Vicky, Jennifer, Sue, Mary, Shannan

Connie, thank you for being you, you are one of my heroes.

Jack, you doing any races up this way this year?

Dave

Hello Everyone!

Not sure about races but will continue to work out to get buff for Cancun in July. Buff may be stretching it but at least the Mexicans won't recoil in horror, that's my goal.

I'm leaving for further north in NH. Purity Springs resort for a quilt retreat. I believe there is skiing, tubing and indoor pool and hot tub. I will avail myself of the last 2.

May get out for some walks while there. It 's going to get colder and we will be further into the White Mountains where it snows quite a lot.

Actually it's so cold that the Canadian air is pushing the storms to stay south of us - thank you Vicki!

I'm not sure what I'll have for internet access with my iphone but will post a driveby if I can. Up in gods country their aren't too many cell towers. The 3G network will have to kick in.

Well my sewing is packed, now it's time for my clothes. We tend to dress for comfort so it's not a big deal. 32 ladies sewing for 4 days. Lots of laughs, good times and relaxing.

Take care all, see you Sunday.

denise

P.S. Yes I'm currently working on many quilts and will post pictures when I'm back. Dave, did you get to see Aiden's quilt? Hopefully he's gotten it by now.

Connie: Great job on your weight loss!!!

Kristie: Congrats on 1st place. Can't wait to see how well you will do in new chair

Dave: Great job on 8 miler. Senior Olympics will be your showcase

Vicky: Thanks for tip! Didn't know that so will have to stop.

Scott: Do you ever sleep

Margie: Sounds like you are like me about big hills and snow . Been there done that.

Denise: Have fun at your retreat. Can't wait to see your photos!

Kim: You must be at a hockey game and getting ready for the Olympics

Today was another 2 hr workout day. Did 6.5 miles as there was a break between storms and it was sunny. Tomorrow is another 2 hr gym day. That will make 6 hrs in 3 days I will get back into my old shape after letting life dictate and put me into bad eating habits.

Have a great evening all!!!

 

[wellesleyprincess]

7.25 miles in an hour. Loooooooong day at work. Quite glad I get to take a half day off for a doctor's appt. tomorrow.

Robert, I remember running between snowstorms when I was in Boston.

Vicki, Can you keep your weather up in Canada? I'm tired of the cold and the storms.

Best,
Jennifer

 

[syko]

I must admit that I am jealous of all of you that have snow.
I'm hoping that we will be able to take a snow trip next year.

Dave The first time I raced the lady who always beats me she did it by 30 mins, that was the end of october 09. I'm sure that you will medal place at the Senior Olympics.

Robert You are becomming a gym junkie!!!!

Denise Room for one more???? It sounds wonderful, have fun.

 

[ultramickeymouse]

Robert You are becomming a gym junkie!!!!

I am forced to as I want to be as buff as the Panda

 

[GirTheGecko]

Denise, you will have Hope whipped into shape in no time. I hope I can meet you guys for a race sometime.

Dave

Would love to meet you for a race, when I'm good and ready. Remember, for the last month, my biggest activity was deciding what movie to watch and for the couple months before that I was just getting through the day. So I have a bunch of catching up to do. Which will hopefully really be able start when I get my stint out in mid-February! No more pokes!

 

[ultramickeymouse]

See how buff Dave is ........

 

[windwalker]

Robert Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Hope you will be in super shape keeping up with Denise and her wonderful family.

Syko you are a good addition to our team, your heart and determination are always a welcome inspiration. We can never get enough positive inspiration.

We have more bad weather on the way, I really kinda thought I lived in the South, guess not.

I'm off to the pool for some pool sprints and upper body pool work. After that hard 8.2 yesterday a pool workout will feel very nice.

Have a magical day y'all.

Dave

 

[Scott H]

A little snow here this morn so 25 Min on the spin bike, need to get a DVD to watch rather than the news.

Yes last night I finally slept almost 8 hours very very rare for me.

Have a good day kiddies it's a Jungle out there.

 

[funwalker]

Hi Team!

A bit chilly at 14°. No new snow this morning. And that is a good thing as my arm muscles are sore from shoveling for 2-plus hours yesterday.

Hagen and I are going sledding/tubing again this afternoon.

Connie- did you get your shopping done before the ice storm arrived?
Let us know what the doctor says today about your foot today!

Hummm…Connie’s question, ‘What Are You Doing to Celebrate Valentine’s Day’- Weekend? Friday–party with my little guys; Saturday -Scrap Booking; Sunday- Church, Virtual 5K, and will look for a sappy movie.

Dave- you will do great in the Senior Olympics! It is nice to have our cheerful Panda back. Know you will enjoy the pool workout today. I think I will do the Martian Half in April, but I have not registered.

Denise- Enjoy…Oh, My Gosh that trip with 32 fellow quilters sounds like so much fun! Eager to see the pictures of your quilts!

Hope- Yup, you got it … building back up after surgery, illness, or injury is always best if we take it slow.

Jack- Where are you! You are back to the gym & running a bit … correct? Did you get the budget issues settled? Maybe they are like mine like and the weather, I put myself on a spending Freeze!

Jennifer- Doctor’s appointment – regular check up or are you having a medical concern?

Kim- did we lose you ??? How is your foot? Were you able to get into the doctor after coming home from Marathon Weekend?

Kristy-Hope you get a snow vacation, but not thinking you will need to come this far north to enjoy the snow these days.

Lynn- are you enjoying the challenge of your job? How’s the progress with your knees?

MaryJ- Are you in training for an up coming race?

Robert- No doubt

Shannan-were you able to make it to the gym? I have a neighbor that gets up way early to go to the gym while her husband is still home. I know how hard it is to work around little ones schedules. I have my little 3-yr Hagen and another little 2-yr during the day. They keep me very busy and hard to get much me time!

Scott- WTG on getting 8 hours sleep it does do wonders for the mind and the body. I do agree on watching the news.

Sue- WTG 234 miles in December. Do you run after dark? It is beautiful being outside when the snowflakes are drifting lazily about.

Vicky- dead lift 135# - are you working on something we should know about – like body builder. Did your dentist recommend another mouth rinse?

Everyone ... Have a great day!

 

[syko]

Vicky I had a lot of dental work done 1.5 years ago and I was told that I could not use paste and rinse with certain ingredients in.
The best I have found is THe Natural Dentist, http://www.thenaturaldentist.com/web/ I don't know if you can get it in Canada though?

 

[wilbur]

Good Morning Team!

Wed night was a repeat of Tues but with slippery sidewalks.

Vicky, Well I finally commited & registered for my spring race. Mississauga Full. Really wanted Ottawa but the hotel prices $$$$$. Now I'm thinking about the fall????

Margie, Yes I run after work. I have noticed that the daylight hours are starting to get a little longer.

Scott, Internet is coorperating at work today. Jimmy's concert replay is getting me through the morning.

Busy at work, again............Make it a great day..........Sue

 

[bunnyfoo]

Hi team! Not much of import to report today - going to the gym after work and then I'm meeting with the nutritionist. If she has anything interesting to say about running and food, I'll be sure to post it tomorrow.

Kirstie - Congrats on your PB at Miami! Do you have a pic of your award? Sorry to hear about all the stuff going on with your chair. Seems like things can get political even outside of an office setting. Did they give you a new delivery date?

Robert - Is that really Dave?

Margie - I only started using Listerine recently and that was because I read somewhere that it was good at killing germs and possibly viruses (it was on a page for H1N1). She suggested I water down the Listerine to use it up and then I think she said any alcohol-free rinse would be good. The deadlifts are just to build muscle and to see how far I can push myself. I never thought about bodybuilding but am not really fond of their physiques.

Sue - I heard that there's a debate at Toronto council about eliminating either the Scotiabank or the Goodlife race since they're only a couple of weeks apart. The 2010 races are still on but I'm not sure who will get the 2011 spot. I've only done Scotiabank so I don't know what the Goodlife course is like.

Jennifer/Denise - I wish I could keep pushing the cold stuff further north! I don't like the snow and cold either

That's all for now! Have a great day everyone!

 

[ultramickeymouse]

Robert - Is that really Dave?

It is Dave. Dave and his "friends" do some shows on the KY County Fair tour in the Summer. The crowd goes crazy every time the start "Y-M-C-A"

Back from 2 hrs at gym. Did 60 min bike(22 miles), leg wt exercises, and 30 min arm bike(5.6 miles). These long workout days are tough!! I am back to my normal routine now.

 

[syko]

Vicky I'll have a photo when they give it to me!!!

They brought all 4 winners up to receive our awards and they only had one for the male push rim!!!!


They took our adresses and said that they would mail us something, and all of this was filmed for TV. It is going to be shown on March 13th at 11:00am ET, CSS.

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Hi all,

Gym was packed, so I had to settle for a bike rather than a treadmill. 45 minutes on the bike and then 15 minutes of abs.

Connie, I've been having some girly trouble. The doctor says it is most likely due to stress and high mileage.

Best,
Jennifer

 

[windwalker]

Guys don't encourage Robert with his YMCA fantasy. He has been a bit confused as of late, hinse the skirt. At leased I convinced him to throw out the Victoria Secret sports attire. And just what the heck are MantyHose? Anyway, don't encourage him as it will result in him being topssed in the Epcot lake by a certain panda I know.

Have a restful evening y'all.

Dave

 

[syko]

I went and picked up my new helmet today.

With the increased speed we thought it would be a good idea to up grade from a cycle helmet.

It's made from 50% carbon and 50% kevlar, the strongest and lightest helmet you can get.

I hope with the color people stop thinking i'm a guy.

 

[windwalker]

Good morning athletes. It's a wonderfully wet and rainy day here so I'm off to the mall for a 4 miler. This rain is forcasted to change to snow, so might get interesting. I've had enough fun with snow.

I hope that increasing the intensity of my workouts will begin to chase away the 20 pounds I want to lose.

Have a great weekend y'all.

Dave
