Hakuna Matata Having a Howling Good October!!!

[bunnyfoo]

Hey everyone! It was a gorgeous day today but I skipped my 3 miler. I think I might have pulled my achilles yesterday. I felt a little bit of a pinching sensation during my run yesterday but it didn't last very long. Went shopping and when I came back, the part of my leg just below my calf and above my ankle was really sore. It hurt to put pressure on it going up and downstairs. DF's friend was over last night, he's a doctor and I tried to ask him about it but he wasn't very helpful (as in their card game was more important) I'll have my PT look it over tomorrow - though it does feel somewhat better today. On the brighter side, I did get to sleep in today and I think I really needed that.

Mary - Prayers and headed your way. I hope everything turns out okay.

Connie - Keeping your DGD in my prayers as well. I don't know much about the gallbladder but it sounds scary, especially since she's so young. Please keep us posted.

Jennifer - Congrats on your race! Sorry to hear about the shoe lace. I had that happen once and now I always do double knots!

Scott/Lynn - How was the race? Got any pictures on course or of the bling?

Have a great evening everyone!

Good Morning team!

to all those that need it - and it sounds like there are several who are in need today.

I didnot do as well as I would have liked in the TOT race, but I did get thru it. My average pace was 16:50, so a bit slower than the last race, but my knee did hurt more at the beginning of the race. Because it was at night, the temps were tolerable. The "mystery" part was fun, but I never did hear the solution - I finished too late, and apparently no one else was interested enough to get the solution. I did get the extra medal. I do not have pictures of the bling - I am sure there are pictures somewhere - maybe Scott can transfer them.

Foggy here this morning, we are meeting cruising friends for breakfast.

Have a great day all!

Margie Your list looks right to me! I can't wait to meet you all! Sadly I'm not going to be there in time for the Pop meet :-( (I could only take off Monday or Friday)

Mary Jo Take care of yourself. (P.S. I've been meaing to ask are you the same Mary Jo that is mentioned a couple of times about running the marathon on a non-DIS disney podcast)

Connie, Take care of that grandbaby and I hope everything will be okay!

Vicky, What's terrible is I could swear I double knotted it. Well we all have those races. Just look at Deena Kastor in Chicago

Scott Glad you had fun! I'm sad to see ToT go away. I had planned to do it next year.

As for me, today is Parent-Teacher Conferences which means in some ways easier and some ways harder. Heading to the gym after we get done at 6.

Best,
Jennifer

Good Morning Everyone.

I have not been MIA just out of the state. I was in Houston for a time and now back and into the working groove. Mark and I went out for 3 miles with Nick yesterday. The city built a paved trail that we had never tried. What a beautiful walk. No traffic and we cross 1 street in 3 miles. We do cross the bridge over the river and that was a beautiful spot. There is also a bronze steer that was donated by a meat packing business on which the trail ends up. It was a beautiful day here in NH yesterday and today is a repeat of it. We may go out for another walk on the trail tonight. We probably won’t go as far as the bridge as Mark isn’t thrilled with the height and it is Monday ..my early start at work.

My little princess Josie is now 7 weeks old and smiling at her queen mum. What a joy she brings to us.

I do have some miles to record because our convention in Texas was 8 blocks(big ones) from our hotel so I did get in a lot of walking, and the George R. Brown arena is rather large too.

Have been keeping up with most of your adventures and do love hearing all the news. I’m not going to do any of the Marathon races this year but it was funny yesterday, I wore my 08 ½ Marathon shirt from Disney and we met someone wearing the 09 one on the trail. I said, Hey I have one of those too.

My best to all and Scott, we can’t wait to see pictures. Hope mine below can be seen.

Good Monday Morning Team!

Jen/ Scott/ Lynn, Congrats! on your great race results.

Vicky, Take care of that Achilles. Did this happen after your speed work? This is also an issue for DH. He really has to monitor his running pace & take the time to thoroughly warm up before heading out on his run. He has to rely on his Garmin to keep him at the right pace. If he pushes too hard this results in injury again. Oddly enough it's because the hamstring is too tight.

Connie, PD for your DGD.

Mary, PD for you.

Hectic weekend as usual. Went to spin on Fri/ Sat. Long run on Sun. Still able to run in shorts. so I was happy.

Pilates class tonight. Have a great day team.........Sue

Monday's who needs them.....


Went up state NY Friday night & Saturday rain, rain, rain.

Came back Sunday morning Sunshine

Good morning everyone! Wow lots of postings already Hope everyone had a great weekend! Anyone have plans for Halloween on Saturday? I have a massage scheduled during the day but no plans for the evening. I bought a winter coat on the weekend - hopefully that will get everyone a couple more weeks of mild weather. When I came back from WDW, I bought a bunch of sweaters because it was so cold and as soon as I did, it warms up. Heh!

Scott - Glad to hear you're enjoying the birthday celebrations! Can't wait to see the pics

Lynn - Thanks for the race report! Congrats on finishing ToT! Glad to hear your knee held up!

Kim - I saw you posting on the Buffalo marathon thread. Are you thinking about doing that one? I missed the early registration for the TO Women's 1/2 by a day so now fees have gone up $10 ... now I'm kind of tempted to do Buffalo and make it a running/shopping weekend.

Margie - WTG on your b2b!! Yep I'm registered for Donald again. I can feel that I'm ready for Mickey in 2011 though. I feel like I should have progressed to a marathon by now but slow and easy wins the race (Or so I keep telling myself)....

Sue - I think I pulled/strained the Achilles on Saturday but I didn't think I was running that fast. I felt a little bit of pinching, slowed down and then it went away. I actually didn't notice any real pain until I went to the mall later on. It seems to be doing better today but still feels tender. But yeah, it seems like I tend to get most of my injuries when I push to go faster. But then how do I get faster if I don't push myself

Jennifer - Good luck with the parent teacher conferences tonight!

Denise - Josie is soooo cute!! What a cute little outfit Is that snow in the picture with the cow?

Jack - Someone somewhere must like Mondays ... not me... unless Monday is the start of a trip to WDW

Dave -

Connie/MaryJ -

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Hockeychic]

Yup Vicky, Mike and I are in. Going to book my hotel at lunch today...or when no one is around to see me on a personal call...lol

We are going to stay at the host hotel.

Denise - Josie is soooo cute!! What a cute little outfit Is that snow in the picture with the cow?

No, it's granite. We are known as the Granite State and we do have plenty of it around.

Actually it did snow when I was in Houston 2 weeks ago. It was up north but the got a few inches. It's a beautiful day here in the 50's, perfect for me.

Hi guys.

It's finally fall here, without rain, for a change. Good training walk in the 36 degree, sunny morning. Two tech shirts, hat and gloves, as well as running pants were just right. I didn't go fast but it was still a good effort, 5 miles on my hill route in 1 hour 3 min.

I do need to get back to regular stretching to get my speed back.

Have an awesome day y'all.

Dave

 

[Hockeychic]

Morning Kids, just a quick couple of miles this morning, wondering if Ares will get off the pad today, need to be rested for tomorrow.

Have a great one, catch ya all later today....

 

[wdw4us]

Mark, Miranda, Josie and I went for 3 miles on the trail again last night. Sun was setting but it was still a beautiful evening. Josie slept through it all.

We are heading to WDW in about a month, so we need to get our legs in shape for all that walking.

Off to put on the warpaint, start my day.

Hi to all!
