Good Morning Team!

MaryJ! Glad to hear that you are getting your husband involved also! I will also be at the 1/2 marathon in 2010 (as opposed to all the Goofy's around here )

JPFamilyMom - count miles and time - for example - ran 3 miles in 30 min, then did weights for 30 min, then a Pilates tape for 30 min, would be posted as 3 miles AND 1 hour 30 min. I keep a tally for the week, then send a PM to Connie (Steffwalks) with the weekly totals.

Connie - I know I am late for last week, and I see that you have already posted Jan totals, but I will PM you as soon as I get this posted! I promise!

It is getting warmer out, but still windy. I will have to brave the wind for my walk later! Yesterday I did get in a good leg workout, a Pilates tape, and then just a short walk with the dogs - the wind - 25-35mph - kept trying to blow me and the dogs into the street! I cut it short - 2.23 miles instead of the 3 miles I was planning on. It should be calmer the next 2 days, so I will have to take advantage of them for longer walks.

Have a great day everyone!

Good moning guys.

I have a thread going over on the DisneyRunning, along with Connie and Princessrunner from the Goofs Team, on my walking section, under the Heading "Training Thoughts and Ideas, where we are doing a year long training of a couple of people to do the Goofy in 2010. It's called "Train our Prince and Princess". Check it out if you wanna, lots of advice in layman terms.

Connie, 3 miles for me today and 1 hour total, so week so far 7 miles and 3 hours.

Lynn dear we have your wind here today, gusts to 50 mph. Snow is blowing sideways. Safe travels to Scott.

Will you nice Canadian folk please close the door up there so your temps don't come down here, we are cold.

Have an awesome day y'all.

Good morning Team!

MaryJ - You got it! Miles AND minutes both count. No measurable miles, then just count minutes! Congratulations or Condolences on the move! Take your pick! LOL

Lynn! I got your numbers added in! Thanks. Sure is a lot easier to not have to mess with that spreadsheet!

The above link will take you to heart attack symptoms for women (Margie asked where to find it) Women are 10 times more likely to miss being diagnosed with a heart attack. It is very important that you know and insist on treatment right away!

Dave- good job!

Sue! Good luck with the training!!

see ya!

Hi everyone! I went to the gym for my weekly training session yesterday. My PT was away so I was booked in with DF's trainer. It was kind of neat to change things up. Normally, I do a lot of weights, squats and lunges but yesterday I tried boxing for the first time. Lots of fun and the time flew by! It makes me wish I could add a boxing class into my routine.

Mary - I will be doing the 1/2 at WDW for the second time in 2010!

JPFamilyMom - I will be doing the Donald in 2010 for the second time too! I recommend doing a 10K race as well simply because it's longer and it will give you a better idea of how your body reacts to going for longer distances. You can also use that race as a proof of time for the WDW 1/2 if you need to.

Sue - Glad to hear you lucked out with a window seat! Our pod sits near a window too and I love the natural light.

Dave - Oh but we love sharing the cold weather! Just kidding... rather than closing the door, I wish I could just stop all the cold weather. I hate it too.

Connie - Thanks for the link! I'll check it out after posting.

Lynn - Yikes! That is windy! Glad to hear that better weather is on its way!

Margie - Glad to hear you're feeling better!!

Ok, that's it for me! Have a great day everyone!

I was just wondering if we keep losing our jobs here if the Canadians will have to put up a fence to keep the illegal Americans from sneaking across the border to find work. I hear the Mexicans are already going home to get work.

I shouldn't be allowed to watch cable news all day. I need warm weather so I can go out and play.

Hi everyone!

I've been a slug but it's the winter getting me down. So today I got out my very expensive P90X DVD's and did the arms/back. Now some of you may know that I have a bad neck so I did take it easy and only did girl pushups. I think if my life depended on me doing 10 regular push-ups I'd certainly be dead

But I gave it a shot, gave the team 1 hour of workout time and realized that all my attention do my lower body really weakened my upper body. I have the go ahead from my PT to do anything that I want so I'm trying to build some strength in my arms and back. I hope some day to be able to do regular push-ups and get through that dvd. I do not have all their equipment but I improvise my movements to imitate theirs. I have a hard time moving my mouse my arms are so weak now. their shakey too, it's kind of funny and I expected to sew tonight. I may sew but I won't be cutting fabric with a rotary cutter, could lose a few digits in the process.

Hi to all our regulars and welcome to the new team members. Hope this winter ends soon. At least the streets become less narrow so we can go out on the weekends. The cars come to close now so we have to stay inside.

Have a good night.

Denise, I think this cold weather is wearing us all down. Come on spring!!!

I left Disney and came home to a minus one temp, coldest in 10 years here. I wouldn't have turned around and gone right back if I were already retired.

Thanks bunnyfoo for the suggestion on the 10K, I will be on the lookout for one of those now too. That really makes a lot of sense.

I managed 1.46 miles walking/jogging on the TM for 23 min last night. I'll be spending most of my week on the TM since 5 coyotes were spotted in the daylight hours in our development. I have gotten over the cold factor, but coyotes that someone said look 80 lbs I can not get over.

Welcome new members,

Long couple of work days but I am back home, Lynn says it is supposed to be warm and no wind, we will see, maybe a run if I can get outta work early.

Better get to work,

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Dave - speaking of jobs, I got a call from the Census bureau last night, starting the end of the month, I will be working 40 hours a week for 10 weeks!

A post on another thread (cruise thread) said the high in central Fl today was going to be 51 degrees - our high is supposed to be 60 degrees the best part of our forecast is the mild wind! Tomorrow is supposed to be the same, but Sat. will bring cold and snow!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning, Team!

I am really looking forward to my workout today, because it's a rest day! I may do some Pilates late, though.

So, I guess there's not much on my plate! LOL I am sick of winter too, but it's only February. Reckon, I will get a break next month when I have my first half to do in almost a year????

See ya!

Hi everyone!

I'm back in the frigid artic of Massachusetts. Classes started on Monday, and I planned to run yesterday but it was snowing.

I did 3 miles today in roughly 26 minutes.

I'm getting back on track after and awful bug at the end of January and trying to catch up with every one.

Best,
Jennifer

Morning everyone! It is super chilly! I think it works out to 6F. Brr!!! Come on spring... where are you?! Got into work and the kitchen was flooded so I couldn't get in to make a green tea so this will just be a quick drive by so I can go downstairs for something warm!

Lynn - Congrats on the new job! Is it a desk job or does it require you to go door to door?

Dave - Going back to Disney sounds good or anywhere warm!

Denise - I have lots of work to do on my upper body as well. I have an easy time doing lunges and squats but ask me to do the plank or a push up and I have a lot of trouble.

JPFamilymom - Coyotes? Yikes! I usually see squirrels, raccoons and deer when I'm out.

Jen - Glad to hear you're feeling better!

Connie - Hurray for rest days!!

Have a great day everyone!!

 

[windwalker]

Lynn, your knee should feel better when the weather warms.

Mary, remind me to tell the story of the flying attack dog that I encountered last year.

Connie, totals for me week to date are 11 miles, and 7 hours of training.

Today was another tready workout. I did 4 miles of varied walking speed from 15 min per mile to 10 min per mile. Then a good stretching routine and pool sprints.

I could sure use a warm day to get out and get some road time.

Have an awesome day y'all.

Good Afternoon Team!

Just back from doing a weight workout (it's been awhile) at the new gym. Old gym but new to me. Hard to describe the experience. It's located in a downtown office tower. Everyone is on their lunch hour. Rush rush rush.


Dave, Sorry the door from the cold north will be staying open a little longer. This morning with the windchill was -15F.

Have a great evening.....Sue

 

[wdw4us]

Yes it's suppose to get bitter cold again tomorrow and all my really warm clothes, I've already worn this week! I think -8 tomorrow. But we'll be having a heat wave on Sunday 45. Woo Hoo, I may go out for some miles! Will have to wear rain gear, I'm sure the cars will be spraying as t hey go by.

No workout today, I"m just so beat. I have GOT to get out of this funk. .

Ok, even though I've had dinner, I'm going to go do 20 min on the ellip and some floor exercises. At least it's something to make me sweat!

Guilt, it s a great incentive, plus, I'm going back to WDW in March for a few days with Mark. Ya I know, thank god for DVC, I have SWA miles, an annual pass and we'll bring a lot of food with us. It'll be nice to enjoy some warm temps. Believe me, it will be the least expensive vacation we'll ever take but boy do both of us need it.

denise

who is now off to do some leg work..........

 

[windwalker]

Denise, I so understand about needing to get away, wish we had some money.

We are 4 years away from being able to invest in DVC points, then we can take little mini vacations as well as the 2 big ones.

This frog freezing cold is getting old.

Good Morning Team!

Enjoying a nice hot tea on this very cold morning. The radio said it's the coldest of the winter.

Had a nice weight workout yesterday. Running tonight. Hopefully outside. I can't face the tm.

Nothing too exciting to report. Tonight is my only tv night with CSI & ER.

Have a great day. Stay warm......Sue

Good Morning Team!

Vicki - I am not really sure about the job, it is a "Crew Leader Assistant", so I am guessing that there will be both office work, supervision and door to door work - right now the goal is addressing, so I am also guessing not so much door to door and talking to folks, but more confirming houses on properties. I was also told that I might be taking fingerprints (processing new employees), teaching classes, and was also told that there is a possibility of advancing to higher position during the 4 day training session - so, who knows, I might end up as a "Crew Leader" instead of "Crew Leader Assistant"!

Dave - it is again warmer here than it is in Florida Currently 44 with high of 59, but it is windier today than it was yesterday!

I seem to have had a relapse with my knee, it has bothered me more the last 2 days than a few days earlier. I did get in a good leg routine and a few Pilates exercises yesterday, then went out for a walk. I am walking very slowly - trying not to favor my hurting knee - but the weather was so nice, I ended up walking 6 miles! I will go back out today for another walk, hoping for another 6 miles, but will wait until it warms up a little more since the wind is blowing (warm wind is not as hard to deal with as cold wind!). Tomorrow will be a day off from walking, will do leg routine, but then the day will be consumed with cleaning house and shopping for party we are hosting tomorrow night!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[windwalker]

Lynn, I know you will have your knee checked if it doesn't get better with rest. I would give it a couple of days since you might have strained it without realizing it.

I had a nice treadmill 4 miler since it was minus 5 degrees here with the chill factor. Connie that gives me 15 for the week with 9 hours of exercise total.

Have a super day everyone.
