Good Morning Team!

We had a great day yesterday, it was "Superday" which is like a big fair in our local park. We both did a 5K race first thing, then hung out at the fair until afternoon when friends kids band was playing, and we stayed to listen to them. We helped them pack up the equipment, then came home for steaks. The weather was great the whole day. I did good in the race, average pace of 15:05 - which is much better than I have been able to do in training. The knee was not bad for the race, but the next 8 hours (and about 5 miles) on my feet, standing around a lot of the time did not go well. My knee hurt the rest of the day, all night, and continues to hurt this morning. I did only a short walk with the dogs, and I am now sitting with ice on it.

Hi to all, and have a great day!

Yea! I finally got going. Why, why, why do I ever stop? It's so much easier to keep going than start over. When will I ever learn?

Legs were pretty stiff at first but after a couple of miles, felt great to run. Hit the treadmill and am watching the Friends series. I forgot how funny the first years were. Sure makes the time fly! Got 5.25 in. Woo Hoo!

Question? We report our times/miles at the end of the month, right? Do we include warm up/cool down time and miles too?

Next weeks goals: 1. Get to bed at a decent time. 2. Get my run in outside before the day gets crazy. 3. Sit down to eat, don't eat on the fly! 4. Get my water in.

Lynn - Sorry about the knee. I've been there, done that, most of my life. No fun! I hope it gets better soon!

Panda - yep, can't wait!

Denise - Hi!

Happy week all!
Jill

Hi everyone! Just checking in... it's a rainy day today but I managed to get out for a run. When I went out, the rain slowed to a sprinkle and then as soon I got back inside the heavy showers started up again.

Sue - Safe travels! Enjoy your vacation Are you off to DC or Washington state? No plans for Canada Day. It's kind of odd since it's in the middle of the week. It was too difficult to take two days off.

Jack - Love having lunches with the SO on work days. It makes for a really nice break and makes the day go faster

Scott - Congrats on the race! That's a fantastic pace I wish I were going to DL for the 1/2.

Lynn - for your knee! Standing on my feet all day aggrivates my knees and back too. Congrats on your race as well!

Dave - Any plans/races for the July 4th weekend? Say hi to Erica for me

Jill - WTG on the 5.25 miles!! Getting to sleep at a reasonable hour has been on my to do list for sometime now. I think sometimes we (or at least I) try to cram as much as I possibly can into a day. Keep us posted on how it goes! And if you have any bedtime tips for me

Margie - How's your DD doing? Any races coming up?

Denise - I like your line about not melting in the rain

Connie - for your ankle! Hope it's feeling better today.

Eva - Have you made dining reservations for September yet? My 90 day mark is coming up this week! Yikes!

Kim - How's your heel doing?

Okay, have a great day everyone!!

In my other life I'm sure I was Elphaba. She really didn't melt either and if you don't know what I'm talking about, the next time Wicked comes to town run and get a ticket, you won't be sorry. I've seen it 3x.

Hi Team!

Oh, My Michigan has been a bit hot and humid this past week

Sounds like everyone is doing great keeping their training on track-
But I am with you, Jill it is so hard to get back on track after sliding off your training schedule. It does not matter if it is an injury or life happenings it is hard to get started again!

Congratulations Eva & Jordan…Wonderful Exciting News!

Connie glad to hear your ankle is a bit better and do hope you have a great time at the lake Monday!

Jack – HI It's so nice to get those unexpected lunches (without the kids) just you the DW!

Vicky – - DD is better so they tell us, but a lot of nerve pain.

Sue - Happy Vacation

It's about time to get our monthly miles in - mine are sad-sad-sad!

Have a great week - Connie, Eva, Jack, Jennifer, Jen, Jesters, Kathy, Kim, MaryJ, Sue, Jill, Teresa, Vicky, And Dave & Erica, Denise & Mark, Scott & Lynn,

The mixer starts here on the 'Ohana thread.

'Ohana Monday Mixer

Ah, it's summer. The 4th of July is right around the corner. Summer always strikes me as the time for family vacations and road trips. And I'm sure many of us who are traveling are either participating in races--and to those of you doing events in the summer heat--or we're continuing to train. So...these random thoughts made me think about the challenges of traveling for WISHers, whether traveling to an event or for other reasons.

This week's mixer asks you to share your best tips and strategies for traveling. We're interested in all things related to staying active on the road, from packing your gear to what kind of exercise you prioritize while squeezed for time and in unfamiliar territory.

A sampling of possible questions: What are the must-brings? How much to pack? How to pack your gear--tips and mistakes to avoid? How to best deal with bulky shoes and stinky clothes? What kind of XT do you do while away from home--do you have anything you bring with you?? What about your guidelines for running/walking in areas with which you're unfamiliar?

I'll probably ask a race-specific traveling question closer to January, but tips on race packing are always appreciated. And those of you who are on the road frequently, for business or pleasure, your expertise is much appreciated.

Good morning team!!!!

Hope everyone is doing great.

I just finished day 2 of hip hop abs....yesterday tape was 25 mins and not bad it was body scult but todays tape was Total Body Burn.....45 mins..OMG. I am sure I will feel it tomorrow but great workouts, and Shawn T isn't hard on the eyes either

Hope you are all doing well, gotta run, throwing the tape in this morning put me a bit behind.

Have a great day all

 

[Sunshineminnie]

Well I'm not as sore as I thought I'd be. Finally got a run in. Yea! And then headed to the lake for the day. We got a new kneeboard and although my knee is a bad one, I just couldn't let the kids have all of the fun, so I went kneeboarding for the first time! It was SO MUCH FUN! I even managed to pull off a 180, which was pretty funny. The first time I managed to get myself backwards and grab the rope handle, I thought "okay, now what do I do?" panicked and crashed!

So, my knee is a little sore, arms too, but all was worth it because it was an awesome day. Going to switch my training run to tomorrow because I have boxing today. Have a great week all!

Hockeychic - Aren't tapes great! I always like it when I find a good one!

Funwalker - It finally cooled off here. Hope the same for Michigan!

Denise - gotta love the rain!

Bunnyfoo - does midnight count as a reasonable hour? Okay, my week officially starts on Monday! So, I'll try tonight!

Still feeling sick...although I have found that cold foods stay down better. I have made green salads, pasta salads and spinach dip. Anything cold and not too acidic. I'm just hoping this goes away in week 12 like people say. I know some women have it for the full 9 months! It'll all be worth it in the end though!

Question...we are trying to figure out what we will be for MNSSHP and all of our original ideas are scrapped because I'm going to be about 21 weeks along my then. So I had the idea of going as Juno and Bleeker (from the movie Juno). I told my friend at work that used to work at Disney and she said that is very inappropriate for that atmosphere. I thought it was cute! So...just wondering what your guys thoughts are?

Vicky - We have booked Narcoossee's, Boma and Tutto Italia. I called at 10 am on the 90 mark day and I couldn't get in to O'Hana or Le Cellier. It's really tough with this new online booking system. Have you looked into that yet? I would familiarize yourself with it and use it f you can. I was at work and our systems cannot handle all of the flash on the Disney site so I couldn't use it.

Sounds like the rest of you are pushing yourselves and racing and doing what WISHers to best! I'm thinking that I may be able to run the Princess half next year, but other than that racing is out of my agenda for awhile! Bittersweet!

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Eva - good luck on finding foods that you can tolerate!

Denise - Scott melts in the rain also - I did get a kick out of your comment, as I use it myself!

Hi to all and have a great day everyone!

 

[windwalker]

Hi y'all.

I tried to get a PR on my 5 mile hill route, PR is 1:01:07 that I did on friday and today was 1:01:18 so missed it by 11 sec. Today's walk pace averaged 12:13 mpm. This route has a serious long hill and some gentle uphill so I want to do my hard walking there. It givesw me my hill and a good strength and endurance workout.

I'll give it another shot this week. I had chores today also, mowing, weeding, cleaning. Got about half of what I need to done. That's what days off are for right?

Eva, you take care of your sweet self.

Lynn you doing ok?

Margie, it's not supposed to be hot way up there!

Connie, how you feeling darlin?

Everyone have a restful evening.

Tired Panda

Good Morning Team!

Got out for 3 miles this morning, knee was tolerable, walk was slow but Garmin batteries died, so I don't know how slow. I think I will try for more milage on Thursday. The knee seems to feel better after the weight workout, and that is on Wednesday.

Dave and Erica - thanks for the call yesterday, that was a nice pick-me-up!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[windwalker]

I wonder what catchy name Connie will have for July. She is very creative with our monthly post.

I'm done for June with 98 miles and 31 hours of exercise. Erica had one 5 mile walk and the rest of the time she has been working, resting or redoing the bedrooms so our daughter can move back for a while after the baby comes.

Hope everyone is finding your share of joy. I'm looking for my joy every where I can. I've been training much harder and trying to get as many hours at work as I can. Erica is working extra to trying to save pennies, but we try to find quality time for each other and also find some fun.

Have an awesome evening y'all.

Happy Panda

Last post for June!!!

I got in 5k in 23:30 yesterday and did 20 minutes of cross training today.

This is my next to last week at my crazy summer job/program/training. Hopefully after next week I will be able to get my training back to where I want it to be (30+ miles a week).

Best,
Jennifer

 

[Steffwalks]

Sorry Jennifer! I always get the last post! Because I get to say,

HEY Check out the new Hakuna Matata post for July!
