Hi team! Made it to Boston and just about to get ready to head out to the wedding. Had a fun mini WISH meet this morning and did 3 miles on the TM so I didn't have to feel guilty about the pancakes! Reese peanut buttercup pancakes! Check back in later! Will try to
post some pics on FB!

Have a great day!

Hi team!

Just thought I'd check in.

Mike- Can't wait to read your race reports! Good luck!

Vicky- Let us know how Boston was!

Hope- Maybe I missed it, but how did it go with your job interview? Did you get the transfer?

AFM, my running hasn't really been happening too much this last week. Ran 3 miles on Thurs and walked 2 miles after that, but I'm still worried about my foot. I'm taking it slowly and thinking I'm going to get it checked out if it is still hurting during my next few runs. I'm also going to focus more on my weightlifting to strengthen those areas and see if that helps...

So, DH and I decided we will not be signing up for the SF 1/2. With the foot problems that have started I unfortunately just won't have time to fix those issues and get the necessary miles in to be confident and prepared for the race. So we'll keep training for wine and dine and next year we will shoot for the sf 1/2 or full. we should be good to go by then right?

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Hi guys.

I just got back from continuing education classes in Louisville. They other guys laughed at me for sleeping all the way up there, nodding out during the classes and then sleeping all the way home. I'm wide awake now.

I'm using this as a stay off my feet day, I needed the rest. I'm taking advantage of the time now to get laundry done and making supper soon.

I was bad at lunch, all you could eat buffet came with the class fee. I did just make one trip though.

Nope, I was the first runner up. Again. Well, I still have a good job, just gotta keep trying.

But, I spoke to my friend/bridesmaid at her new store, and within her first few days, she had a bat-wielding fugitive run through the store, the store lost power, then it caught fire. So, I told her she brought bad mojo over and she should come back.

Wow, is she working in a combat zone?

You had any good BBQ dinners at the Queen Mom's, Denise's, this weekend?

Thank you for that link Margie.

Dave

Nope, just Memorial Day with more beans--not from a can. With scallops, shrimps, and ribs slow cooked over charcoal.

I didn't think it was a combat zone, so we'll see if the insanity continues for her. I hope it doesn't.

 

[windwalker]

This is going to be an interesting week. WISH me luck.

I need to transform for a while from kind and gentle to the bear side of my panda.

Right now I'm headed off to the track for a speed workout. I rested all weekend, sore feet and classes to attend.

Have a magical day y'all.

Dave

 

[Hockeychic]

Good morning all. It was a little cool here this weekend but nice for the workouts, compared to the crazy heat we have been having so far this spring.

Got CardioX and a 30 min walk on tap for tonight, stayed up to late watching the hockey game last night so slept in this morning so need to get moving. Have a awesome day out there everyone.

Hi Team!

I had a busy weekend here! Only two more work days until I'm done for vacation at WDW and the Everest Challenge! I did two races over the weekend and set TWO new PR's for myself!!

First the Unlimited Performance 5K in Sycamore IL. After working all night, I set out on a mission to beat my old PR of 27:30. It was overcast an rainy and an outright downpour during the race! It was fun and a great bit of nostalga as the last time that I ran in the heavy rain was last years Everest! (Getting me ready for Saturday??) I finished in 26:43 by my watch with a pace of 8:32!! After the race, I saw the surgeon who did my vision correction, who also ran. Fun time had by all. Placed 76 / 256.

Next, I ran the Run thru the Sun 10K in Huntley IL to benefit the Huntley Youth Sports Organization. It was a little unorganized at packet pick up as it was one woman with four little kids (one baby), on the edge of a field with the wind blowing her tent around. (Give this lady a little help!) They were out of tshirts (only for the first 150) and they had 300 sign up. (UM, order more?) In the goodie bag were advertisements for races that happened last month.
They had 300 runners for the 10K and 5K races which had the same start and then split off. They had 100 volunteers! At the split point I was suddenly all alone except for a couple of others. I felt like I was in last place!
Got to the end in 59:21 with a pace of 9:20. My old PR for a 10K was 1:01:55 so I did okay. My watch was spot on in distance through mile 5 and it said the race was 6.36 miles long!! What's up with that? I won a raffle prize, a race bag from last year with ....flyers for last years local races.
If I had run the 5K I would have placed in my age group! Ah well, maybe next time!

Dave~ I don't normally eat alot of fish, maybe I'll start on vacation at the Pub at EPCOT! We ate at Ohana in 2008 during our honeymoon and the food wasn't grilled, it was burned to a crisp. I think we had it on an off night.

Gerry~ I'll PM you with some of our info so we can meet up at Everest! I'll be wearing a blue and white visor with Yamaha on it.

Hope~ we had the same thing happen in our store- I guess one of our employees was a gang member and several others came in with some bats looking for him, the came tumbling through the meat department doors into the back room. Broke one bat over him. He was later arrested for kidnapping his girlfriend in a armed standoff with the cops.

Vicky~ I hope that you are having fun in Boston!

Mary~ We will meet at marathon weekend!

Regina~ Take it easy on that foot!

Margie~ Those were bad storms!

Take care- Mike

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm safely back from the World! We had our best trip ever and I'm now an annual pass holder.

Tomorrow I officially start training for the Chicago Marathon.

Best,
Jennfier

 

[windwalker]

Mike you must have caught Ohana's on a bad night because I thought the food was amazing, but then I am from Kentucky.

Dave

 

[Hockeychic]

WOW Mike busy weekend. COngrats on your races!!!! and have fun at WDW....I don't get to go for 7 more months

P90X is going good, I really like it as it is a different workout each day, I am a creature of habit with some things, I have eatten the same breakfast every day for over 20 years...lol but with activities etc, I do get bored easy to like that they mix it up......and you know Tony isn't too hard on the eyes

Sunday starts official training for the Air Force 1/2. Can't wait as many of my WISH friends will be there and this is where I have decided to try and PR...which for me is a sub 3. Bring it on!!!!!

Good morning, HK!

Sheesh....seems like it's just been turmoil in our lives since December!

Jon was in the hospital all weekend with 3 broken ribs, a broken collar bone, and a 5% collapsed lung because he decided that he could ride the crazy mule he bought me. I was thrown on Monday, but didnt' suffer from much other than a broken finger and some sore muscles. Jon on the other hand.... The guy who sold us the mule (in Kentucky!) will be picking him up and bringing us a mule that doesn't think its in the Rodeo!

My daughter's troubles have calmed down, but it led to a divorce. And it isn't completely over yet. At least the heart ache is passsing...

AFM - I still haven't gotten a chance to look at P90X, yet! I want too, but the fates or circumstances or whatever is keeping me in a weird place. Guess I will go hoe the garden a while.

See ya - Connie

 

[windwalker]

Dang Connie your year sounds like mine. I went through a divorce and then my ex totally lost her mind. I was definitely the stability in her life.

I'm off for a power nap.
