Hakuna Matata, Get fit in June!

[Steffwalks]

Good morning Team!

June 3, this Wednesday, is the celebration day of "Get Fit" month! Check around for some fun races in your area! Think about inviting friends and family on an easy 1 mile walk to introduce them to the outdoors! Some of the people I know haven't been outside in years if you don't count the journey to and from the car!

There is an O'hana mixer. They want to know what your favorite training/racing item is! Check it out!

Miles and minutes are coming! Get 'em in, get 'em counted! So Far......

775.49 miles AND 223:18 hours!!!

YTD: 3124.55 miles AND 1,228:49 hours!!

Just 6 months to the Goofy! Are we all building a solid base??

Watch for more news and updates here!

Well at the salt mines again, nice weekend, trial continues today, hope to have a verdict by Tuesday night.

Good Morning Team!

Vicki - congrats on the PB on the race!

Jennifer - hope you are getting settled in your summer home!

I already got the dog walk in - trying to get into the habit of walking before breakfast - not my favorite thing - but necessary in the summer heat.

Have a great day all!

I agree, once the heat finally arrives, we'll have to go in the early am too.

Still brisk here during the day and not too hot for me to go at night.

Day off of walking today, but will be back at it tomorrow. I'm glad to be in June - FINALLY -Summer.

Jennifer, how long are you in Houston? I'll be there in October for Quilt Show.

Well, almost time for me to close up shop here at work.

Denise, I'm only in Houston until mid-July working on a summer program.

I got 9.25 miles in at an 8:40ish pace (around 1hr. 20 min.). I think I'm starting to adjust to the heat and humidity, but I still feel slow and am much more tired at the end of my run.

Best,
Jennifer

Hey Team.

We just got back from the beautiful Canada trip. It was pretty chilly for our princesses doing their half but they did super. Erica, Kim, Vicky and CJ all had a wonderful time.

Vicky thank you so much for your gifts, the baby will love them, Grandma sure does.

Connie put me down for 92 miles 41 hours of exercise for may. Erica had 49 miles and 15 hours of exercise for may.

Now I have to go buy a storage building for the kids stuff till they can find an apartment they can afford and then mow the yard. First though a 3 mile training walk, around the home improvement stores to look at sheds.

Have a super day y'all.

Hi TEAM!

Congratulations to all our WISHers who did the race in Canada!

Scott- hope you get the verdict you are seeking today

Jennifer-enjoy Houston. I have heard the River Walk is fantastic. Hope you and Denise are able to meet up when she goes to the Quilt Show there!

Lynn- how are you knees?

Dave-storage shed (?) I might try one of those rental units for the kids things.

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Margie, I'm looking forward to exploring. Houston does seem to have an active running community. I'm just taking it solo until I acclimate to the heat.

Today I did a hill work out. About 3 miles total and 23 minutes (just under an 8 minute pace).

Best,
Jennifer

 

[windwalker]

Margie we have been wanting to get a storage building anyway and that way we are not putting out money that we wouldn't get some benefit from our selves. I found a nice 8 X 12 wooden shed that looks like a small barn. Then when they get their stuff out of here we can use it for bikes and the mowers.

I had a great 4.5 mile walk with a stop in the middle to look at sheds.

Good morning Team,

Got the totals updated to here! The totals are climbing, keep those numbers coming in!!!

June 1st was my date to really get down and get serious for laying a base for the marathon training. Yesterday, I did 30 minute warm up and 30 minutes of Pilates! Never hurts at the time.

Jen, I don't know anything about a running community in Houston, but there are lots more races way down there than there are up here!

Denise and Lynn, Getting hot here, too. I love the smell of the plains early summer mornings, so it makes it so much nicer to get out there. I have fresh clean air, and now that the gas and oil drilling and production have dropped off to nothing....along with our pay check.....there's not much traffic to worry about.

Dave! I thought you weren't handy??? Good luck with that little ole barn! They are cute, especially when painted bright red with white trim and a little four rail fence around them. While you are at it, you will need a miniture horse or perhaps you can saddle that lab......

Good luck Scott and Lynn!

Margie! How is Sara doing today?

See ya - Connie

 

[windwalker]

Connie love, I'm not handy, we are having it delivered and installed. We just have to paint it. We are painting it to match the trim on our house.

Glad your air is better but sad your income took a hit, I think about all of us have felt the pinch. But we have love and friendship and money really can't buy that.

Obama just picked a fellow who looks like that guy that played the German soldier on "Laugh In" for Sec of the Army. It was the guy that would say "Verrry Interesting" and fall off the tricycle a lot.

Erica is now a international half marathoner.

Hey Team!

Welll...I got that job I had interviewed for. I'll be working ten hour days and get 3 days off and with my raise I can actually afford to take a 4 day weekend every once in awhile and still bring home more money! It's more than an $8 an hour raise!!

I have been taking it easy with the running. Jordan and I have been putting miles in, but nothing more than 5 or so. I'm in a "waiting" phase right now. I don't want to take chances just in case we have a little princess or pirate joining our family. Wouldn't that be a doozy...my new bosses would LOVE that..."Thanks for hiring me...I'm taking 2 months off to have a baby"! Oh well...what's meant to be will be!

Well...I'm here at work and wrapping things up for the day so I should go. Just wanted to pop in and say HI!

 

[Lynn G]

Good Evening Team!

No exercise here today - was traveling all day - back to CA for a week.

Dave - glad to hear you made it home safely!

Eva - Congrats on the new job!

Have a great week - do not know if I will find a hot spot after today, so I might not make it here.

 

[wdw4us]

We finally started out morning walks. It's getting too hot at night for the ice princess so this was our first am walk. We were busy talking and missed the cut off for 4 miles so we did 5. I was worried about the time factor for Mark but he seems ok with the 5.

It felt good to be out in the fresh air even if it was 4:45 am. No pretty sunrise as the clouds have moved in but alas, we did see a lot of peeks of sun so it's better than nothing.

EVA, hope you have a bun in the oven. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Off for my coffee now, have already showered.

Good morning Team.

Denise I'm a morning exerciser also. I love the early morning before the traffic and the heat. It's a bit nippier in the winter and I have to use the tready and the mall but when the weather gets nice is wonderful.

Eva, on the new job and more Disney bucks.

Lynn and Scott I wish I had y'alls building ability. We are having our new storae building delivered and we are having it installed. I can't mess it up that way.

Everyone have an awesome day.

[Steffwalks]

Good morning!

Just starting to get light here, so I will finish this post, and head ou there!! I love a morning walk, even when I am heading for a speed drill day.

Eva - Congrats on the job and here's to the new pirate and/or princess whenever they happen!

Denise, I will get yours and Marks times added in today.

Dave, At least with the storage shed you know it won't blow down! Our neighbors built their own....twice!

Lynn, good luck in California. We miss you!

MaryJ- Good to hear from you!!!!

Anne, Dave, Jack, Jen, Kathy, MaryJ, Sue, Vicky, and our newest member Jesters, where are you guys???

 

[Scott H]

Yep I am batching it this week.

Still in trial, hopefully we will get the case to the jury today and a verdict tonight, this has been a long emotional trial....

Cold rain these past two mornings, pups are doing well, will get them for a walk tonight I hope.

Dave wish we were closer, I built a storage barn in about a day. We could knock that puppy out in no time.

Better get back at it.

Good Morning Team!

It's already June & already Wednesday. Time is moving too quickly. Very busy at work & home. Not much time to post.

Hope everyone is doing well with the training. Still having cool temps. but it makes it enjoyable for running.

DH had a great race on Sunday. Cool temps. made for an enjoyable swim. The water was warmer than the air. The wind made the bike portion was unbearable. He is a very strong rider but took 40 mins. to go 10k upwind & up hill. 30 mins to do the remaining 30k.

Eva, Congrats! on the new job.

Vicky & Erica, Congrats! on Sunday's race.

Make it a good one...........Sue
