Good Morning Team!

Kim - good for you!

Connie - for that ankle!

Vicki - congrats on the weight loss!

Sue - it is warm if not humid here, so I have been getting my walks in first thing in the morning when it is about 60 degrees out.

Have a great day all!

Announcing Baby Baker - EDD 2/3/2010



Jordan is hoping for a ...but I have a feeling it's a

I have been very, very sick for the last two weeks. I had actually tried running, because I read somewhere that it can help ease the queezies but it did not help....AT ALL. When I am not at work I am sleeping. So forgive me if I have been absent. Hopefully it will ease sometime in the next 5 weeks!!


OK...back to work....

Villains Rock - Congratulations!!!!

Connie - I hope that ankle starts to feel better for you really soon.

Wilbur - those rolling, scenic hills sound like a great way to workout!

Lynn G - Great job on the negative splits! Good luck this weekend!!

Jennifer - I can't wait until the Fall when I can change up my workouts a little and get back out there in the evenings. This getting up at 5:30 and 6:00 is hard! I value my sleep!

bunnyfoo - My 6 miler turned out to be 6.5 , but I was feeling great at the end - in spite of the hill right at the end! We do 8 miles this weekend. I am SO nervous about that!

jship210 - It's 100 degrees and sunny here - let's trade weather for a couple of days! I'm sending you some sunshine vibes!

I really enjoyed sleeping in a little on Monday, but did get in a 30 minute walk with a friend on Monday night to stretch out my muscles a bit. Tuesday morning we bumped up our mid-week distance to 4 miles! I decided that it was too hard to do that on my own, so I met the group at the high school to run at 5:30. So glad that I did. It was one of my hardest ones yet - and being in the group motivated me to keep going.

I hope everyone is having a good week!

Good Morning Team!

Congrats Eva

Got in my 3 mile walk with the dogs this morning, it was hotter than it has been. I may have to close down the house early today. (I close all the windows and curtains, and turn on ceiling fans to keep house cooler, then open up everything in the evening after it has cooled off.)

Have a great day all!

 

[bunnyfoo]

Hey everyone! No cavities! Hooray! I'm needle-phobic so I'm always happy whenever I go to the dentist and I don't have to get any work done.

I'll be heading to the gym tonight to train with my PT. But other than that, I don't have anything else planned.

Connie - Sorry to hear about your ankle! I hope it heals quickly! The swimming sounds like a good xtraining exercise.

Lynn - It's really hot and humid here as well. Hopefully the rain today will help to cool everything off. How's your knee?

Eva - Congratulations!! You and Jordan must be so excited!! I hope the morning sickness passes quickly for you.

Teresa - Sounds like you're making excellent progress with your running group! I can't remember if I asked, but are you training for any races?

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Scott H]

Connie take care of that ankle,

Eva, congrats,

Stay cool everyone with the heat,

I did get in a 5K this morn, felt good, I am getting more back into the swing, which is good. I am trying not to let work eat me up and get out there of a morn.

Good Afternoon Team!

Hot & humid today. Just had a Tstorm blow through at lunch & the temp has dropped several degrees. Was at the gym & they have the treadmills positioned around the windows. The lighting made for a nice light show while running.

Connie, Pixie dust for your ankle.

Eva, Congrats! You must be sooooo excited.

Have a great day...........Sue

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Teresa, I guess we're opposites. I miss my morning runs, but since I'm already getting up at 5; it's just too early.

Did another 3 in under 23 again tonight. I'm working on a tread mill due to summer heat and scheduling issues. I can't wait to get back on the roads in about 3 weeks so I can re-determine actual speed. I'm actually faster on a road then on the treadmill, because I can increase and decrease as necessary.

Yesterday was my off day, but on tuesday I did 5 x 400 with the intervals at a 6:30 mpm pace and the recoveries at an 8:15 mpm pace.

Best,
Jennifer

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Scott took the morning off, so we did a loop (1.26 miles) together with the dogs. Tomorrow is a 5K race in our local park.

Have a great day all!

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning Team!!

Congratulations Eva! Sorry about the morning sickness, though. If you are already taking prenatal vitamins, STOP! Take Flintstone vitamins until the morning sickness subsides! That's what the nurse practitioner told my daughter and she had very healthy babies (all over 8lbs) and avoided much of the sickness!

Thanks for the PD for my ankle. I have been doing better without the brace the last couple of days, so I am going to give the lake a go on Monday.

You guys are all doing great! Keep up the good work!

 

[windwalker]

Good morning team.

I had a very nice, but hot and humid, training walk this morning. Five miles in 1:01:07, ave pace including the slower first warm up mile, 12:13 mpm. I was good with that.

Eva

I think I'm going to do the WDW half for time and then do princess escort for the full. I have a race walker friend from Nashville that is doing it with me. I wonder if Disney would consider a walking catagory for awards in the future?

Have an awesome day y'all.

[Scott H]

Morning Kids, yep getting ready for the 5K.

2 hours at office turned into 11 oh well, dreading travel the next two weeks. I do good on running but the eating and sitting gets to me. I am thinking if I can get out a lunch time for sprints or something like that, couldn't hurt.

Have a great day and weekend.

 

[windwalker]

Good morning Scott, good luck at the race, is your lady doing it with you?

I just returned from the gym, a half hour of pool sprints to cap off a good exercise week. I had 25 quality miles and 10 hours of exercise. I'm ramping up for racing season. Next race is Jul 11th, an evening 2 mile walk race, this race usually brings some good walker talent to our town.

Everyone have an awesome day.

[Scott H]

5K was doen at a 10:13 pace, felt good , gotta start getting longer runs in for the DL 1/2.

With travel the next two weeks I will really haev to get my rear in gear.

 

[Sunshineminnie]

Hi all,

So, today is the day to get my rear in gear! I have been so bad about running the past couple of weeks. The DL marathon will be here before I know it and I want to be in the kind of shape to enjoy it!

I've been so full of excuses since it got to be 100+ plus humidity. So, I WILL get up early to run before the heat OR hit the treadmill. NO MORE EXCUSES! Today's the day! WOO HOOO!

Scott - nice pace on the 5K! I would love to be under 10:30.

Panda - Great mileage and hours. I hope to be joining you soon!

Have a great week everyone. Have a fun 4th! I love that holiday. It's always so much fun!
Jill

I know I haven't been around much here or on Facebook but I have been busy with the family - some minor illness for the kids and quality sewing time as I do have quilts to make, and a baby shower to work on.

Managed 5 miles this morning. It was humid, overcast and a slight mist to keep us cool. Mark gave me a - It's raining face - I said go get a hat, we won't melt. So he in is cowboy hat, me in my wish cap and off we went.

Back home for coffee and now to shower and start the day. It sure does feel good to get caught up on projects. Now to continue to walk and lose some chubby's.

Take care all, good luck to all in upcoming races and training.
