Hakuna Matata - Fall-o our training in September

[Steffwalks]

Good morning! I'm here!!!

Lynn - Go easy on that new tissue. Don't stress it too much too soon! Getting the stitches out is always a momentous event!

Vickie - Your uncle is nuts! Okay, I didn't really mean that. I meant...that's crazy! The longer flights would have cost me more in airline miles and less in dollars. But here's the crazy thing....I used miles and got on American. If I had used SW and flown around the world, it would have cost 20,000 points more! Those 20,000 points are worth $160 in cash directly back to me. If we manage to check only one bag, I will have made $140. See, isn't that crazy??

My apologies to everyone. I am sure you aren't that interested in my travel plans!!!

Spoke to Margie this morning! Just 12 sleeps and I will be at her house.

See ya! Connie

Happy Thursday Team!

Super busy at work & doing the quick fly by.

Went to spin last night & will be doing a 5 miler tonight.

Vicky, Glad to hear everything went well at the dentist. I'm not a lover either.

Anyone have exciting plans for the long weekend? Up coming Races?

Have a great night everyone.....Sue

Hi TEAM!

Labor Day Weekend-signals the end of summer-beginning of another school year and the last long weekend for a while. Hope everyone has a great one!

Have a Great Race Anyone else have a race up this weekend?

Lynn-

Connie- 12 more sleeps - 11 more days

Vicky-

How's little Aiden doing?

Jennifer - hope they find the cure for your insomenia. That is so hard on the body & mind to not get enough rest.

Managed to get in a 3.25 mile walk this morning and 14.85 biking miles tonight -

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Connie Thanks! The teachers need hese breaks as much as the kids.

Lynn, Yes, after about 5 other moves that would be back where I started

Margie and Vicky, I know the insomnia is stress related (as does my doctor), the problem is the source of the stress can't be eliminated.

I forgot to post back on Wednesday that I did a 30 minute tempo. Got in 3.85 miles in that time.
Today will be my last run before the race on Sunday.
Oh and I got my belly button pierced on Tuesday.

Best,
Jennifer

 

[Hockeychic]

yikes, realized I didn't see 1/2 the posts here....I wasn't getting notification so I messed something up.


Thanks all I am really trying to remember to write it all down. I am getting the milage and hours in for my training schedule but the other stuff I keep forgetting......Is that the beginning of oldtimers???

I agree, I will pay more to fly anywhere direct. I hate to fly period and the take off is the worst for me so the more ups I can avoid the better. I will have my first lay over flight when I cruise Alaska next year. The only direct flight I could get was more then the cruise...so I am sucking it up just this once....lol fortunatley I have a ton of direct flight options to the happiest place on earth

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

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

Vicki - No big scar, just 2 small ones under my knee.

Jennifer - Good luck on your race on Sunday.

PT went well yesterday, said I now needed to work on my walking - trying to walk correctly, I guess my bones are in a funny possition, on both my legs, which puts more stress on my knees. So, I have to concentrate on keeping my knee straight - and extending leg leg more, and not limping. It is hard to constantly think about walking while walking!

Have a great day all!

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning Team,

Lynn - It is hard to change the way you walk. I had to learn to walk all over again when I put orthotics in my shoes! You and Scott have a great time!

Vicki - How are you feeling today? I hate dental work and try not to address it in any way! I don't even like taking someone for them to have dental work! I feel like an accomplice to the torturer!

Kim, I forgot to mention ..if you use the calender at Active.com to record your training, it will even send you a daily email reminder!!! It doesn't get any easier than that.

Jennifer - You needed another hole in your middle?? I thought about one of those for about 5 seconds and then realized at my age, no one would see it, even if I actually wore a belly shirt!

I did my cross training this morning! Yea, me! Pilates is better than a dental visit...some!

See ya - Connie

Well we were going to do the 5K along with the Goofy but when we tried to register today it was closed. With the baby expences we didn't have the funds till his morning, and we missed it. We were going to do it so Erica could get her tattoo with the Goofy, Donald, Mickey and Dopey.

I had a good 5 miler this morning, it was threatening rain but never rained. I tripped and thought for a bit that I had pulled my hamstring. It seems to be ok, but scared me.

Baby is doing great.

Dave

Lynn: my DL partner, glad to hear everything is coming along great with the knee. I just got finished with PT (Physical Torture) for shin splints and I survived and shin is doing 100%.

Dave: Glad to hear about the grandbaby!! Email me when you get a chance.

Hello everyone! Just stopping in with a little announcement:

If anyone missed out on the WISH shirt order, why not get a hat or visor to show your WiSH racing team pride?!!! Please see the link in my siggy below. I need a min of 36 items and I have 17 so far.


Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.....

 

[bunnyfoo]

Hey everyone! Just stopping in to wish everyone a happy and safe long weekend!

Connie - No nuts is a pretty accurate description. He's only of those people who loooooves complaining so give him a long connecting flight with uncomfortable seat, multiple delays, loud passengers etc. and he's all set If he had a direct flight, he wouldn't have much to say

My cheek is doing better. I'm forcing myself to look at it to make sure it's healing okay. Honestly, it just looks like a burn mark and it's about the size of a cigarette but it still makes me feel icky. I'll probably be able to eat hot foods in a day or two.

Sue - No plans this long weekend - just basic R&R. I'll probably still head to the gym on Monday even though I'm still thinking that one over

Margie - WTG on the mileage yesterday!

Jennifer - Cool! Was the piercing quick and painless or does it take a little longer?

Lynn/Scott - Safe travels!

Kim - I forgot to tell you that after you and Mike told us about the cruise at the Midsummer Night's race, we got a brochure in the mail for an Alaskan cruise. I asked DF to think about it - he seems interested mostly because it looks really scenic.

Dave - Hope you didn't bang yourself up too badly

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[wilbur]

Happy Friday All!

Lynn/ Scott, Enjoy your trip.

Have a great long weekend. Get those miles in. I'm scheduled for my 20 miler. I'd rather be doing this

Sue

 

[Scott H]

we are , nice wish meet , nack at hotel i crashed now awake, will eplore the expo mprelater to dat after the 5k

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning Team!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Nice 3-day weekend before Summer completely vanishes!

Sue, thank you! It is so nice to know that someone who works out like you do, sometimes doesn't want too! I needed to know that.

Dave - Good luck with your race. Be careful with that hamstring. Sorry you missed out on the 5K. Didn't you guys do the 5k, the last time you did the Goofy?

Jennifer - Get some rest! We need a strong, healthy Jennifer. Hope the stress eases too!

Off to do my first back-to-back for the weekend. See ya - Connie

 

[windwalker]

Good morning y'all.

Connie we did the 5K with the marathon but not with the Goofy. You have to do it all together to get the dopey rating, I think.

I have had a good exercise week with 22 miles on the road and to pool running days.

Today might just be a rest day. I don't want to over due and then race on monday. That would be a disaster waiting to happen.

We lived through the first week of baby home

Have an awesome day guys.

Dave

 

[funwalker]

Good Morning TEAM!

Hope everyone is getting this wonderful weather for the weekend. It's been so nice I have been able to bike almost everyday this week.

Like Connie said -

Off to do my first back-to-back for the weekend!

Hummm I am now waiting a bit for my Garmin to charge. It seems someone left it on and the batteries are low!

no words for the joy these precious little grand-babies bring us. For me it is an undeserved opportunity to love unconditionally-a true blessing! Good Tiding with your race - you do not need luck.

Vicky- hope your cheek is better today

Scott & Lynn- Enjoy!

Jack- (?) is missing

Sue- I can so relate I truly dread those long training miles alone. I couldn't keep up with you walking, but I would ride my bike to keep you company

Jennifer- have fun with your race tomorrow. I will stay speechless on the belly-button piercing.

Enjoy the weekend-Connie, Eva, Jack, Jennifer, Jen, Jesters, Kathy, Kim, MaryJ, Sue, Jill, Teresa, Terri, Vicky, And Dave & Erica, Denise & Mark, Scott & Lynn,

 

[Scott H]

good to hear folks are having fun.... we are 5k was humid and it seems hot to me, taking a break kicking back

 

[MaryJ]

Went out yesterday and did 3.3 miles. Hot but felt good to be out. Glad I went yesterday as it looks like rain all day today.

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[jship210]

Here I am!
Been busy with the end of summer rush...
DS off to college, packing for our vacation next week,
and putting out the small fires at work. I need a vacation!

Glad to see everyone is doing well.

Jack

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning Team!

Glad to see so many checking in!

Mary - Good job on getting out there.

Jack - Sending kids off to college, Priceless! What's the vacation destination?

Jennifer - How did the race go???

Dave - I think if you do them all, even in successive years, you are probably Dopey! LOL I think I would go with Dumbo, he's such a cute little guy. Good luck with the race! Rest hard, for now.

Scott and Lynn - Keep on having fun!

I did my 6 miles, today. It was great. I felt good and energized. Looking forward to a bigger hunk of the road, next week.

See ya (soon, Margie) Connie
