Hakuna Matata - Fall-ing into the cool race season!

[Hockeychic]

already commented on DR but love it Dave. Can I have the Lindsay room when we visit

 

[Pudge_The_Fish]

Hello Team!

Lynn & Scott - Good luck at the DL half!

Dave - Love the house, it looks very nice.

Mike & Liz - Good luck on your 5k!

Regina - Hope you have fun with your coaching!

Connie - Have fun on your trip! I'm amazed by all the outdoorsy things you do. I've only been camping a few times.

Margie - Glad you're feeling better!

AFM - Haven't heard anything on the offer, apparently the sellers have been out of town so their agent has presented the offer to them yet. Two heating/cooling people came out to look at the house last night, we're waiting on quotes from them. I'm having second thoughts about the house, but I'm waiting to see what the AC quotes are and what the sellers say.

It is hard to believe it's already September and the race is on Sunday. One thing I miss in So Cal is fall, you don't get the same color changes out here. I haven't packed for the race yet, need to do that soon so I can make sure I have everything.

Have a good night!
Emily

Good morning guys. We are getting close to sealing the deal and getting started on making it happen. We are closing on Oct 13th and can begin moving in on the 15th. We are $10,000 apart but that's just the last negotiating phase. I'm willing to meet in the middle and if they won't come down any more I'm buying it anyway.

I'm going to have a guest room designed with a Disney theme. I've been wanting a reason to buy some of those prints from the actual drawings for cartoons anyway.

Margie you can take me off the injured reserve list, I'm training without any PF problems at all now. I did 5.5 miles yesterday with no soreness or pain at all. I haven't had any discomfort for a couple of weeks now.

Have a magical day y'all.

Dave

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

We are sitting at the Denver airport waiting for our flight.

OMG Connie not even close to a ironman. It is one of the sprint ones.

Lynn in Disney of course: Will this be your first 1/2 since the surgery?

I am so jealous of all you DL'ers!!!!

No Kim, I did the half at WDW in Jan. But it is Scotts first race since his surgery, and he is supposed to be walking this one - we will see if he really does, but he also has done no training since his surgery except a few bike rides.

Dave - nice house!

Have a great day all!

 

[wilbur]

Good Afternoon Team!

Dave, Nice house.

Mike/Liz, Have a great race! On a Friday? Interesting. Is it at night?

Margie, Any decision on the furance? Better to do it now before you need to.

Emily, No getting around the leaves changing colour here. Some trees are already well on the way. I could do without the raking.

AFM, Changed my mind out spin class & went for a run instead. Waited til close to dark for a little less heat/humidity. It was actually quite enjoyable.

..........Sue

 

[loveTink79]

Kim~ I'm so excited you signed up for a sprint tri! Where is it going to be? Is there any part your more nervous about than others? For me it was trying to run off the bike. It's such a different animal.

Dave~ Congrats for you and your future Mrs.Panda and your new home. Don't you just hate the novel of papaerwork involved It's all worth it in the end though!!

Connie~ have a great time on your trip. I can't wait to hear about it when you get back.

AFM~ The knee I had surgery on (a year ago) had been bothering me since monday is feeling normal again today. I did a 1,200m swim today and I'm going to be trying for a PR tomorrow. Who knows maybe I can ALMOST keep up with my DH


Good luck to all racers this weekend!!

~Liz

 

[windwalker]

The house deal is agreeded on. We are buying it for $118,000 and they leave in the new big front loader washer and dryer and the new big fridge with ice maker. We also got them to provide a home owner warranty for a year.

Now when I work those extra hours it we be not only to make Disney money but riding lawn mower, dinning room furniture and Big Killer Cool TV money.

I'm off to do a 4 to 5 mile training walk at the track, feet are feeling good but I'm still not pushing pace.

Have an awesome day guys.

Dave

 

[Hockeychic]

Sorry Lynn I forgot, not seeing many people at WDW this January hard to remember what everyone did. Hope Scott is a good boy and listens to his DR and just walks. Hope you both have fun this weekend.

Sue: Is there a tri in Milton? Do you know when it is?

Everyone who asked by tri will be in of course....DISNEY WORLD

The part that worries me the most is the swim, although I know how to swim I have never quite mastered that breathe to the side thing but have alot of time to work on it. I will be getting in the pool at least once but most weeks twice a week. Our new pool schedule opens up Sept 7th and is open enough to get me in some good practice time.

Wahoooooo Dave!!!!!!! So when is the first WISH/DR party
Also my friend we need to pick a time and place to meet in OHIO!!!!!!! Maybe expo?

 

[Steffwalks]

Hi Guys!

Kim - I just figured if YOU were going to do a tri, it would be "Go BIG or go home!" Good luck. Just get a snorkel and you won't have any problem with the breathing!

Emily - Your comment made me smile. I don't think of myself as "outdoorsy". Back in the '80's in Colorado, an outdoorsy girl was called a granola girl. I am not sure I ever even qualified! - Good luck on Sunday! I hope the house works out, just right, whichever way that is! -- We often don't have much of a fall, here. It seems that in some years it is hot right up to the moment it gets really cold and the leaves just turn dead brown and fall and other times it freezes so early and then gets hot so the leaves just turn dead brown and fall. I guess it is "fall", but it doesn't seem like a pretty autumn!

Dave - Cute house. How come they never show the master bedrooom or the bathrooms or the closets??? Got a wedding date?

Margie - The more you know, the easier it is to make a decision and the less agonizing it is! You will do the right thing!

Mike and Liz - Thanks. I hope to have a good time. Plenty of books to read. (Next year my book bag won't be so heavy, though. I have asked for a kindle!). I am looking forward to meeting my new mule aka Walmart! We will pick her up today! -- Liz, Glad the knew is getting better and the meds are on hold, Mike/1

Sue - Good job on the run. I can't believe you still have heat and humidity. It is definitely turning autumn, here. It was about 3 weeks ago when I could feel the "winds of change" blowing. The deer are moving, the flies are trying to get in, and the crickets!!! Yikes, it's been a good year for crickets! My aquarium fish don't mind, though. I catch what crickets I can and tear off the back legs and drop them in the fish tank! yum, yum!

Vicky - How's the house hunting? You will find it, just hang in there!

Well, I am outta here. I have all the cookware to get together, some meat to cut up and freeze. And a house to clean up before we go after the mule. I went shopping for the trip yesterday (45 miles west of my house)and took the new truck to the shop(21 miles south of my house) so it was long, long day!

See ya - Connie

Good Morning Team!

Margie, I still can't believe it's September. Time is passing way too quickly. Have fun with the boys today.

Connie, Safe travels. How long are you going for? I think I missed that part.

Kim, Check out The Subaru Series by trisportcanada.com DH has done several of their races. I've done a Du with them. They put on a really good race. Milton is early June at Kelso Conservation Area.
Good luck with the training.

Nothing like thunder to make you run a little faster. Just made it back home in time last night from my run & the skies unleashed some wicked rain.

Good luck to all the weekend racers! Safe travels & have a great long weekend everyone.

Off to the cottage after work. I'm stopping for the ultimate ice cream no matter how long the line is.
I'm in need of some "Bear Claw"..........Sue

 

[Hockeychic]

Sue would that be the Kawartha Dairies? I love the maple walnut...also don't care how long the lines we are stopping. Thanks for the info ...maybe check it out.

Margie....OMGoodness, I am not even close to what Carrie and Scott did. That is amazing and will be a goal in the future this one is a sprint can't remember how long in the pool, think I have mentally blocked it out 20K bike and 5K run.

Have a great weekend all and be safe out there

 

[Motomiker]

Hi Team,
Just checking in today, haven't been working out much this week. I've been fighting something like a sinus infection and have been really tired. Our 5K is tonight at 7pm at a local festival. On Sunday, they are going for the world's record for the largest rootbeer float! The old record is 3500 gallons. The soda is being dilivered in a tanker truck and they are dumping it into an inflatable swimming pool with the ice cream.

I hope my wife doesn't beat me today, but if she does, I'll feel sorry for myself and order a pizza....

Dave and Sally~ Great house for a great price! Please keep the Disney room neutral (not too much princess stuff) and include some Disney pins!

 

[Scott H]

We are back in the room for lunch , then heading over to the expo.

Dave congrats on the adobe hacienda , I recumbent husquavarna , cub cadet , or John deer fro movers.

Stay safe kids.

 

[windwalker]

Thank you guys, yes we are very pleased with the house.

i'm chillin with some God Fathers pizza and a beer. It's been a long week and it's time to relax tonight.

Kimmer remember you can easily do a half with a longest training walk of 8 miles, we have proven that many times. I did Goofy with a longest walk of 8 miles for training.

Dave

 

[Scott H]

Ok we are up and at um for the 5k, will see how that goes.

I will never understand real-estate prices, Dave if you moved that house to Cheyenne it would sell for $300,000 in Jackson , wy, it would sell for$750,000 up.

Scott in a better economy it would be at least $50K more here also. I'll take pictures of the area around it when we get moved in. It's in an upscale subdivision with all the houses on an acre plus lot and most are big 2 story houses. It even has street lights in the neighborhood.

I do have a lot of upgrades I want to do like a white vinyl privacy fence around the back, about 200' worth and build a patio entertainment area for back yard cookouts. You are Lynn are of course welcome any time.

Hello Team!

Dave~ Again, that house would probably be about 250K here in Northern IL!

Scott and Lynn~ I hope that you are having a great time at DL and the race!

Margie~ Thanks for updating my race info!

Yesterday's race was cold and windy as expected. Alot of people watching along the course had winter coats and blankets on! I finished in 26.48 according to my watch. Gun time was 26.53. My pace was 8:38 a mile, and I finished 155 / 369 overall. I'll let Liz report on her finishing.

Have a great day, Mike
