Hakuna Matata - May; the Irish Month of Mirth and Merriment!

[windwalker]

Good morning guys.

Lynn it's good to see you back. I saw the picture of the tornado on Scott's facebook page, WOW! Glad you are back to retired and can keep us up to date on your adventures again.

Margie, glad you little prince is doing better. About the walkers, I don't know if I can ever get to that level but it's cool that we had a 51 and a 53 year old on the USA team.

Mike you are really moving with your training, I think you will be giving our Jennifer a run for it soon.

Vicky, yes we had a wonderful time last night. I think I'm going to keep her.

I'm meeting my walk group for a good 10K this morning. It's not doing the threatened rain so it will be a cool and plkeasent morning. 55 degrees right now.

I saw on facebook that Bryan Weldon who used to be the captain on the tripple Ds is remarried.

Everyone have a super day.

Dave

Hi everyone!

Hope- I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get that job. Good luck! What is your plan B if plan A doesn’t pan out? What a wonderful DF!! So sweet to take you on a breakfast date after your interview. Definitely sounds like a Prince Charming to me. n

Well that's it for me. Have a wonderful hump day everyone.

My plan B is to be trained in the meat department. So, I would have experience if an opportunity comes up.

Good Morning, Team!

Sunny-high of 76°

Connie-busy lady - did you get that P90X workout?

Dave- Tell Sally Be-Lated Birthday
Sorry I missed it! Glad you had a wonderful evening Celebrating.
Hope you had a great walk this morning!

Hope- sending good thoughts for your interview results!
We all have those favorites-mine is the huge waffle with
strawberries & whipped creme.

Jennifer- the new BF must keeping you busy!

Kiristie-how is your arm?
We miss hearing from you but know typing could be difficult

Lynn- The Plains! It's good the snow does not last long.
but goodness that is a lot of snow for this time of year!

Mike- WTG Another PR
Are you scrap booking your races?
If we get to visit this summer you will need to bring your scrap books!

Regina- I would PM Robert - I am sure he would be a huge help!
I like GU. The have a lot of flavors.
The Christmas Chocolate Mint was really good!
It's easy to carry and it gets you re-fueled quickly.
Will send up a prayer for your Lasik surgery.

Sue- life has been a bit hectic here.
My training time cannot be a major priority at this time
and is sporadic to say the least.
When is your July race?

Vicky- The problem with the Internet connection was not my computer-
it was the AT&T equipment. The guy was very arrorgant - It was frustrating.

Good Morning Team!

Yes, we do have terrible weather in Wy in May - springtime in the Rockies (even though we are a bit distanced from the Rockies now)!

The tornado warning was a surprise, but as I was stuck in the basement, I at least made good use of the time, and rode the bike for the 45 min I was stuck down there and watched the local news to see what was happening outside.

At this point, I am keeping to my normal exercise routine, but when we get back from vacation, I will have to ramp up the training for the DL race over Labor Day.

Mike - you are amazing, it seems we see a new PR every time you post! Way to go!!!

Have a great day all, it looks like the sun is trying to peek out, so I will get the dogs for their walk before it starts pouring again!

 

[windwalker]

My training walk with the group this morning was a very pleasent 10K in 1:16 flat. Temp was 59 degrees and sunny and the conversation was great.

Dave

 

[Piglet24]

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick post today. Ran 5 miles with DH. No idea how the time went b/c we both forgot to wear the right shoes to go with our Nike+'s. Woops!

Anyway, now I am exhausted!

Margie- Thanks for the advice. I will try PM'ing him sometime in the near future.

Have a wonderful day team!

 

[funwalker]

Good Morning, Team!

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Boy, it is sure much easier to keep up when I get here every day!

I got in my normal 1.26 miles with the dogs, and then another 45 min. on the bike downstairs, today I am going for some weights. It is raining and foggy now but supposed to clear up and be nice, so the dogs will get their walk later today - maybe it will even be shorts weather!!!!

Have a great day all!

 

[windwalker]

Lynn, just what is shorts weather in Wyoming? Anything above freezing? It's good to have you back anyway. When do you and the Wild Man leave for your adventure.

Margie I'm glad we have you to keep us all updated. My next race I think will be memorial day, a 3K on a hilly kitty litter trail.

Mike are you going do do any long races in the near future? My next long one on the radar right now is the USAF Half marathon in Sept.

I didn't do anything this morning except good stretching in the hot tub. I'm waiting for the cable person to fix my stuff.

Dave

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Hi all,

I've got a bad head cold that is forcing me to pull out of my race this weekend :-(

So far I've managed a 3-miler and a 30 minute gym work out.

Tomorrow's field day at school.

Best,
Jennifer

 

[Motomiker]

Hello Team!

A beautiful day here in Nortern Illinois! It's supposed to be even nicer tomorrow! I ran eight miles today and I signed up for a 5k in Sycamore IL on Saturday morning. The race starts out on an auto race track and heads out on some trails. Rain is possible though! Liz ran with a group from our gym and did five miles for the first time!

Dave~ My long race of the summer will be the Soldier Field 10 miler on next Saturday (29th) and it will be my longest yet! I'm kind of saving my first half marathon for WDW!

Lynn ~ Do you do the half at Disneyland every year? I would like to do it next year and it would be fun to meet up! Plus, I want that Coast to Coast medal!

Margie~ I'm thinking maybe we can make it out in July sometime. I'll check with my traveling sis...

Jennifer~ Sorry about canceling your race. I've been concerned all week about catching something myself. Alot of people are getting sick at work.

Regina~ I know you can do that race! You will fininish!

Hope~ I sounds like you are somebody I'd enjoy working with!

Kirstie~ I hope you are doing well? How is the arm?

Vicky~ Guys can never guess weight, we are too distracted by a womans beauty to think straight!


Anyway, off to bed for me! I'm in the middle of working eleven nights in a row again, although I might me sick next Thursday just before my race.... -Mike

do not have their Bios in.

Connie- What's the news on the P90X?

You said 3K (?) 1.86 miles

Hope your arm is a bit better now, rapid healing,
with a quick recovery to your racing form!

Good Morning Team!

Dave - Shorts weather is anything over 60 degrees It could be over 50 if the sun is out and there is no wind. We leave for Denver Monday night, fly out Tues. morning.

Jennifer - for your head cold and for having to cancel the race!

Mike - yes we do the DL half every year (it was our first long race), I did have to sit out last year because it was only 2 weeks after my knee surgery, the Coast to Coast medal is really neat! We would love to meet up with you next year.

Margie - glad to hear that Hagen is improving!

It is a beautiful day here so far, got out for dog walk early. We do have more "severe weather" forecast for later today. I have to work on cleaning house today, so I will spend most of the day inside.

Have a great day team!

 

[wilbur]

Yeah it's Friday...........of the first long weekend of the summer

Vicky & Kim, Happy May 24! Hard to say what kind of weather we will end up getting. It's just nice being off & not having to work. Any exciting plans? Fireworks?

Regina & Mike, Enjoy your races.

Jen, Sorry to hear you are under the weather & have to pull out of this weekend's race. Hope you feel better soon.

AFM, I'm putting in the last few minutes at work. Heading home, picking up the doggie, then onto the cottage for 4 relaxing days at the lake with a little running mixed in.

Have a great weekend team!................Sue

 

[flipflopmom]

Do you forgive me? I've been a bad team mate! Life has been wild!

DD2 fell on an open umbrella, the spoke went into her leg about 3-4 inches. Immediately squirted blood rhythmically, thought she'd hit an artery. She's okay, missed the artery, dermabonded back together, but a scary couple of weeks watching for blood clots and infection.

DD1 had state gymnastics championships last weekend, she is the state champ for her age/level on the beam, and 2nd on all other events!

State standardized testing started last week, and DD1 and I have been cramming for her tests.

Good news? I did my second 5 miler, felt great, not sore afterwards, took a few minutes off my first 5 mile time.

Up to 50 lbs gone!

Still no races on the horizon. I am wondering if it will be fall before I get one in, since my Master's classes are on Saturdays all summer, other than the one we'll be in WDW!

I am running in the Special Olympics torch run w/ law enforcement officials and other teachers on June 4. This will be my first "public" run, as I run at a nearby park at 6am with very little company. I am quite nervous!

Forgive me, I'll be better. I'm going back to catch up, and read the bios. Thanks for posting them!

Mike - hope you have a great race this morning!
Michigan is cloudy & rainy

Beautiful day here in Cheyenne, and no, we did not get any "severe weather" last night - some clouds but not even any rain - just a bit of lightning and thunder to the north of us.

Good luck in todays races!

Taryn - glad to hear that dd2 is OK and congrats to dd1! Also congrats to you on the weight loss!

To our Canadian teammates - Happy Memorial Day!

Have a great day team!
