Missed my miles today, ended up giving blood at the Blood Drive. Did do some tree work tonite, had to get rid of a white pine. Sappy
Too muggy to sleep, too many 'skitos to sleep outside. Must drink fluids....

Hi TEAM!

It's late (early) so this will be a quick one

It is too warm and humid here also, but did get in a short slow walk with my little Hagen.

Vicky- Congrats on the weigh loss -"Lululemon running skirt" you earned it!

A princess doesn't sweat dear, she glistens

And the rest of us sweat profusely-I tend to notice it when it drips like rain.

DD is still in the hospital - lots of tests, x-rays, etc. They tried solid foods today. Late today they took away all her pain meds for 12-hours before doing another test in the morning-truly thankful she is there and not here! The wound vac was taken off the left side and should come off the right side in a few days.

 

[Hockeychic]

Margie: Continued good thoughts and PD for your DD

jship210: Taking down the tree that is XT right

Hot and muggy here also, it was nice to have the sun ALL DAY yesterday. We had wicked t-storms last night, and of course it is raining today.

Today will be sucky at work, I am a insurance broker, and we have a underwriter coming into our office today that no one in our office can understand some of her underwriting decisions. This however will be our first face to face so should be interesting.

Have a great one everyone!!!!

Happy Wednesday Team!

Had a nice week at the cottage. We lucked out with some nice weather but the lake is still too chilly for swimming.

Vicky, Congrats on the weight loss. I've been a little slack on following a structured training program for Scotia. I've already started my goofy program. I will see if this has helped or hurt me by not doing a short vs longer midweek run in favour of back to back weekend runs.

Pixie dust & well wishes to all who need.

Have a great day everyone.....Sue

Good Morning Team!

Cool and cloudy here, not supposed to get much above 60 degrees today! It is pretty breezy also. I skipped my walk this morning, and may not get out for bike ride, will have to keep an eye on the wind - but I will get in my weight routine and maybe some Wii Active today to make up for the lack of a walk - won't help the dogs but I might burn a few calories.

for Margie's daughter, and anyone else in need today!

Have a great day team!

Hi Team! Got out early again this morning. I was suppose to do a 35 minute tempo run but it was so muggy out, it ended up being a tempo jog Oh well, I still got my 35 minutes in so that's what counts. I'll go out again tomorrow morning for 3.5 miles and then a 1/2 training session at the gym in the evening.

Kim - Good luck at work today! I love Lulu jackets and hoodies too! I try not to visit too often I haven't seen any lime green skirts there. RunningSkirts.com has a green skirt - though not as bright as the WISH green.

Sue - Lucky girl! You missed all the rainy weather in the GTA Are you using Scotia as training for Goofy or are you going for a PB? I can't believe it's the end of July - we'll be at the end of September before you know it.

Margie - and for DD! Good luck with the test results! Keep us posted! Oh, I drip sweat at the gym too. Some of the other ladies there don't ever seem to get sweaty. They seem like they're working hard too Heck, I seem to get sweaty just walking on the TM so maybe that's part of the problem

Jack - We've got high humidity too. If we turn on the a/c, it just feels too cold but without it, it's sticky. Sorry you had to cut your tree down

Lynn - That's pretty cool for July! Have you tried the Wii Fit before? Just wondering how it compares to the Wii Active.

Connie -

Well, that's all for me! Make it a great day everyone!

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Vicky, You and me both.

The humidity here is killer. My 40 minute tempo turned into a 4.5 mile lets just get back in 40 minutes run.

Margie, Glad that your daughter is healing. Hang in there!

Best,
Jennifer

 

[Hockeychic]

Humidity wasn't too bad today north of the city.....just wish it would stop raining....we have to keep draining the pool as the water level is getting so high...normally we are filling it up as the water is evaporating....uugghhhh

 

[Scott H]

Long day of travel, presentations tonight, will be a long one, tomorrow morn a run for sure.....

Was able to sneak in getting some new ink today, KEWL!!!

So no blood donations for me, sadly I can't donate anyway, some where along the line I was exposed to Hep A and have a positive titer

Enjoy the evening

Yeah!! Lynn might figure out Wii Active, I hate reading instructions, Hey I am a guy we don't do instruction....

 

[Hockeychic]

Cool new ink!!!!

DD is begging us to let her get a small tat on her foot....she will be 17 in 2 weeks....and....oh mom that is all I want for my birthday.....oh ya and did I mention she is going to Italy in Oct....

 

[funwalker]

Hi TEAM!

Thanks for all the wishes, thoughts, encouragement, and
DD came home tonight - only five days this trip, lots of test, but hopefully they now have the mediation adjusted so her body can tolerate it. She has the pik line in her arm and hooks up her own IV antibiotic drip twice a day. SOoooo looking forward to the day when this is all behind us!

Scott- I had to ask my DD what you were talking about

Was able to sneak in getting some new ink today, KEWL!!!

 

[Hockeychic]

Marge that is great DD is home...give her a hug from her WISH family.

Well down 3 pds, this morning. Not bad since I was only on program really since Monday and I am starting day 4 with no pepsi!!!!!!

Hope you all have a great day

 

[bunnyfoo]

Morning team! I got out this morning for a 3.5 miler. It was gorgeous - no humidity and the temps were low. It actually felt more like a September morning which was nice. Hamstrings on my right side are a little tight. I didn't have much time to stretch after my run. I wish I had a foam roller at work but I guess I'll have to Google some stretching exercises instead. I'm back in the gym tonight for a quick 1/2 training session.

Kim - WTG girl!! Congrats on the 3 pound loss! And day 4 of no pop So are you going to let DD get a tattoo?

Margie - Glad to hear DD is back home

Jennifer - I love how you said your run turned into getting back in 40 minutes. That's exactly how I felt. Humidity and heat were much better today though. Hope your weather has improved too

Scott - I laughed at your guys and instructions. DF got a Blackberry for his birthday and kept asking me "How do I do x, y, z ...??" I don't have a BB myself so I had to look everything up in the instructions that came with it. What kind of tattoo did you get?

Anyway, that's it for me - have a great day everyone!!

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Kim - congrats on the weight! If you let your daughter get the tattoo, make sure she keeps it small and someplace that can be hidden - foot would be good, so she can cover it if she regrets the decision later in life. Foot is all near bone, it will hurt more than in a more fatty spot - that might deter later tattoos.

Margie - good news on your daughter being able to come home - more for her recovery!

Vicki - I still have not gotten the Wii Active out of the box - we have done the Wii Fit occasionally - guess I will have to put the Wii Active back on the list for today!

Have a great day team!

 

[wilbur]

Happy Thursday!

Doing a quick pop in on lunch. Did back to back to back workouts last night. Run - Pilates Class - Dog Walking. Was going to do weights during lunch at the gym but just couldn't get motivated. I'll be running tonight.

Kim, Congrats on the lose!

Margie, Glad to hear your DD has come home.

Lynn, How's your knee?

Make it a great one.........Sue

 

[disneyfan97]

Wow! I have been such a DIS slacker this month!

Luckily, I haven't been a slacker on my workouts!

I wanted to check in quickly. It's been a busy month of traveling on the weekends, and trying to fit in workouts around the strange rainy/stromy weather that we are having.

I ran my first 15K two weeks ago, after 4 days of being sick. I slowed myself down right from the beginning, because it was more important to finish than to do it quickly. My normal pace group finished in 1:56 - and I did it in 2:02 - so not too bad!

I'm looking forward to August, when we are not doing much traveling at all. I'll be able to meet my class for workouts on a regular basis.

I hope everyone is having a great month! Sorry to be MIA!

 

[Steffwalks]

Good evening Guys!

Lynn: So sorry about the knee surgery. I know it will be fine, but surgery is no dang fun!

Vicky, Congrats on the new mattress! You lost a 5K! How cool is that?

Margie, this too shall pass! You and your family hae my continued prayers.

Jennifer! A full! Good going. You are so speedy we expect to hear how it took 27 minutes! Sorry to hear about the scrapes. Hope you have healed well!

Kim, Congrats on your weight loss. That's awesome you got rid of the Pepsi.

Dave, Shoulder big enough for one more? Some days just hurt. I think I will start standing on my head. Afterall, Eeyore says that some days just look better that way.

Will write more about me later. I got this far, for now!

 

[Hockeychic]

Good Morning Team!!!!

Vicky: Yikes, sorry to hear about your thigh hammys. Take care. I am actual ok with her getting a tat, I have 2 of them but .....dad said no way till she is 18 and can sign for it herself...

Lynn: That was kind of my thinking. Where she wants it, it really wouldn't be visable unless she was wearing sandles, and I told her it will be extremely painful there as it is straight on to bone and you don't want 1/2 a tat...lol

Sue: Great workouts!!!!

disneyfan97: Wahoooo good job!!!!

Hey Connie

AFM: Got in my morning workout but by the time I did all my errands last night it was pretty much bed time so didnt walk.

Have a great Friday all....Vicky......LONG WEEKEND!!!! Hey we have to find somewhere to meet after the 15K!!!!

 

[wilbur]

Yeah it's Friday. Long weekend for us north of the border.
Quiet at work as some are taking an even longer weekend. I have a major project due today so I need to get back at it. Happy training.Can't believe it's August tomorrow....Sue

 

[bunnyfoo]

Happy Friday team! Worked out last night with my PT. We did deadlifts and went pretty heavy (well for me anyway). So no problems with my hamstrings today but everything else is sore after a tough weight workout No plans for the long weekend - I'm just looking forward to having the extra day off.

Kim - I'm not too familiar with The Beaches. I've been to one pub there. I'll ask my friend since he lives in the area. Were you thinking of food or just drinks? I guess we're about three weeks away huh? Yikes!

Teresa - Congrats on your first 15K! Fantastic time

Sue - It's quiet here too. I can tell that lots of people are away - I actually got a seat on the subway this morning and no line ups at Tims.

Like Sue said, it's August tomorrow! Yikes! Where does the time go? Take care and have a great weekend everyone!
