Hakuna Matata, Get fit in June!

[MaryJ]

First of all SunshineMinnie.

Got out the door shortly after 6:00 a.m for a walk/run. I've started doing C25K to try to increase my amount of running time. I am now on week 3. Did a total of about 2 miles. However, 9 hours later, I'm really tired and now I think I know why. Last night my cat kept trying to sleep on my pillow! I think it's because DH is out of town and he thinks he needs to be "the man of the house!"

Time to go put the groceries away. Later!

Good Evening Team!

Sunshine Minnie!

I am heading towards home tomorrow, I have to drive 4 hours to get to San Jose, where I am flying out of early Thurs morning. I will leave here by noon so I can get the rental car back by 5pm. Then will take the shuttle from hotel to airport at 4:30 the next morning.

Have been getting early morning walks in while I have been here, so that helps. Have been eating too well staying with my brother the chef!!!

Have a great evening and next few days, I might get on tomorrow evening if the hotel had free wireless.

Welcome Sunshine Minnie. Be warned I'm the only sane one on here.

Happy Panda

No your not , at least that is what the voices in my head say.

Welcome Sunshine Minnie.

 

[Sunshineminnie]

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome! I am so happy to be on your team!

Off to start running kids this morning. I'll check in later and give everyone the low down!

Good morning Team!!!

to Hakuna Matata, Sunshine Minnie!! Feel free to steal clippies out of our signatures! -- I will send you a PM with the rules and the way to report your outcomes. Glad to have you on our team!

I think summer may finally be here! It is starting to get warm. We were in the 90's yesterday! I am about to get out the door for a quick 3 mile walk. I have had to do some soul searching and some re-thinking and some re-planning to get myself going again. This is my first workout since I hurt my ankle, but that seems to be fine now. Now, if I can just stay healthy until I get HOME from the Goofy!

Travel easy, Lynn!

Eva - Thanks for the anniversary wishes! Yup, today is the day! Fourteen years ago, my hubby got lucky when I married him!!!

Sanity may well be a matter of opinion...at least, that's what the Scott and Dave tell me!

See ya - Connie

I guess I have been gone awhile!!

Welcome Sunshine Minnie This is a great Crew and with you joining I move up the food chain......

Things are slowing down a little right now, school will be out soon

Scott & Lynn- Hope you guys are in the same time zone for awhile.

Connie- Happy Anniversary

Margie- A little for your DD

Dave- I feel your pain hope things get easier at work

Jenn- By any chance did you grow up in a bad neighborhood? How do you run so fast?

Happy Panda- You Crack Me Up

Connie- Glad the ankle is feeling better

Bunny- A lot of smoke, but how was the meal? Cooking with fire good, (it's a guy thing...)

MaryJ- keep me posted on the C25k thing, I was wondering if that would work for me as well. Got a 5k in Aug. and I know I can do it just want to get a little quicker. Good Luck.

Denise- I know the pain of nosey neighbors. we recently had our farm surveyed, there were marks along the road. This old B who has nothing better to do than roam the road causing trouble for others was caught looking around our property. I escorted him off. then I painted with the orange paint " 1 - 4" with an arrow on one side of the road and "5-17" with an arrow going the other way. Leading him to think we're cutting up for house lots... That'll frost his cookies and give him something &$%^ about .

Jesters- MIA??

Debra~ Just a Hi! Hope all is well in Ohana land! Missed the recent mixers
I have however joined the Painkillers Club at The Soggy Dollar Bar in Jost Van **** BVI, will be stopping there on our September Cruise...

Well that's all for now, hope everyone is well

Red Sox in 1st Place (for now), Hopping the Redwings pull it off this week.

Good morning everyone! I dragged myself out for a leisurely (slow) 3 miler last night. It was cool last night so quite nice for running. I almost forgot that I've got my 5K race this Saturday. I guess I should be getting out for a couple of runs before then

I booked my hotels for January this morning. We're doing a split stay between Pop and Poly. I wish we could have done Poly the whole time but I have no idea what January will be like (job/economy) so I'll do a split and if there are deals, I'll switch back.

Sunshine Minnie - Are you doing the 1/2 or the full at Disney in 2010?

Jack - We made smoked chicken and it ended up tasting like ham I think it was all the smoke. But it was really good - I actually liked it more the next day. Since it was our first time using the smoker, we had a little bit of trouble keeping everything hot. Getting the charcoal going was a challenge since we're use to using a propane BBQ!

Connie - Congrats on your 14 year anniversary!!

Lynn - Safe travels!

Eva - You know the other Disney smell I wish I could duplicate is the apple pie from Mickey's Philharmagic Hey, I need a white noise machine too! It's still cool in Toronto so I sometimes keep my window open at night. I had no idea that birds get up at 3AM! I hope Jordan feels better soon!

Sue - I'm on the lookout for January flights too. I remember Air Canada had a sale last October for January dates. I was sort of hoping they'd release a sale on those dates earlier. A couple of weeks ago they had a sale on flights until December 17th or something like that. Are you flying out of Pearson?

Mary - Glad to hear your knees are feeling better! Good for you for going to the gym while on vacation It's something I can never seem to manage.

Margie - How's DD doing?

Dave - DF set a weight loss goal of about 15 pounds by his birthday next month. I'm trying to get him to exercise more and eat better but it's hard because I don't see him all the time.

Jennifer - Are you getting settled in? Does school start in September or do classes go year round?

Okay, that's all for me! Have a great day everyone!

Been missing you, Jack! Glad to know you're doing well! Yay for the Red Sox. And I'm on the fence about the Redwings/Penguins. Detroit is my hometown team, but I now live in Pittsburgh. Looks like I win either way!! (And it's been a great series.)

ETA: Ooops, hi to everyone else. I didn't mean to be rude. I was just popping in here to make sure Sunshine Minnie was settling in & I saw Jack's post. Hugs and PD to all!

 

[windwalker]

I just got back from a brisk 7.5 mile training walk with my Wed Morning Race walking buddy. We did a hilly along the river route in an hour and fourty min.

The "Buff Bear Project" continues. The extra exercise time is there now if I could get my eating under better control.


Have a super day y'all


Happy Panda

Well, let's call it karma or serendipity or whatever, but I say if you posted her to be put on a team, then let's keep you here. Hakuna Matata, please welcome another new member!

 

[Steffwalks]

Kewl!!! Welcome to our group, Disneyfan95!

We are glad to have you! I will be sending you a PM (personal message) in a bit explaining the very simple rules for figuring your miles and minutes! Feel free to steal clippies out of our signatures and ask all the questions you want, we are pretty open and will even answer personal questions that you may have!

Despite what you may have heard (see above) we are all mostly normal!

Please tell us about yourself!

See ya - Connie

 

[disneyfan97]

Thank you, Connie!!

My name is Teresa. I'm from Dallas, Texas. I am a really new runner (only a few weeks), and am signed up to run the Disney Half in January. I'm not sure yet if that will be my first Half, or if I will try to do one in Dallas before then. I've started running with a class at our local running store, and I'm up to 4 miles last Sunday. I'm very excited about the Half, and I want to some day do all of the Disney running events (Princess half, Everest challenge, tower of terror, etc).

I'm glad to be part of the team!!

 

[Lynn G]

Good evening Team!

Teresa!

Just a quick drive by here - I am in the hotel in San Jose - eating granola bars and cookies (Holoday Inn Express) for dinner - will fly out EARLY in the morning (need to catch the 4:30 AM shuttle to the airport), and should be back in Denver by 10:30, and back home around 1PM.

I will have to get back into a decent eating routine when I get home! At least I did keep up the walks!

Have a great evening all!

 

[windwalker]

Welcome Teresa, welcome to the group.

We have some runners, some walkers and some run/walkers and then we have those confused souls that are not sure where they fall. We even have some that are Goofy in more ways than one.

Party Panda

 

[Scott H]

Yes welcome Teresa.
Yes we had rain of Biblical proportion last night, I caught the water rising in one of the window wells, out with a bucket to bail. A little brake in the rain so off to Lowes for an chunk of flex drain pipe to divert any additional water. I was a drowned puppy, out there in a LS T shirt and shorts and crocks LOL….

Just had to re book my FL trip in two weeks, air fares were also rising as I booked.

 

[wilbur]

Good Morning Team!

Welcome Teresa!

Connie, Happy Belated Anniversary. DH & I are 13 years next week.

Vicky, Probably flying out of TO. Prefer WJ but will take AC if the price is right. Keep me posted if you find a good price. Have a good race this weekend.

Just putting in the miles. Have a great day......Sue

Theme of the day: Double Nickel!

Haven’t been around much. Busy at home and nights have been filled with things to do. I have those kinds of weeks now and then. We have a new furnace going in so that’s a big expense that we have put off for years!

Our old furnace is 55 years old so it’s time for a new and more efficient one!

Remmber the day:

And a video for the day:

So that's what it's been like for me. Hopefully things will be back to "normal" soon.

Take care all.
