Good morning Captain Connie and Sweet Margie, you princesses are up early today.

Connie my results are 79 miles and 38 hours for the month and 3 doubled miles for a race so 82 miles total.

We had a lot of miles, GO TEAM!!!

I started the new month with a nice 6 miler with some walking buds.

Happy Panda

Hello all. I've been a major slacker, I'm sad to report I did no hours for March My kids and everyone in the home are now FINALLY recovered from all the sicky germs. MIL going in for last surgery this Friday, then will have chemo/radiation for the months to come. I got a job, been doing crazy training for that the past two weeks and finally settled into a routine and ready to hit the streets jogging again. I won't let you guys down this month.
Happy April Fools all

Definitely an April showers kind of day here. I did 5k in 24 minutes, nice and easy.

Best,
Jennifer

Hi everyone! Happy April Fools! Anyone play a joke or get pranked? We had an audit of sorts at work so no one was in the mood for jokes. Oh well. Sunny day here but super windy - probably nothing like the winds that Lynn and Scott get but enough to give you a workout when running. Went out for 35 minutes after work and felt exhausted afterward.

Hoping the weather stays warm but less windy for my run tomorrow! Have a great night everyone.

 

[Lynn G]

Good Evening Team! Happy April!

The wind finally calmed down to 20mph instead of 40mph of the last few days, so I decided to brave it with the dogs - we only got half way around the first block when I got a call from a "crew member" with a question, so I had to cut my walk short and go back to research his question. At least we got out, if only for 1.25 miles instead of the 3 I was planning. I am hoping the the next 2 days are better so I can get in a few more miles - it is really hard when working 40 hours a week, I am really missing my leisure time! It is supposed to be ugly over the weekend, more snow, will have to see how much snow we get tonight - 1 to 3 inches was forecast, but we often do not get what is forecast. We do need the precip really badly, so I shouldn't complain, but I am tired of winter!

Connie - do you want totals for the partial week, or just wait until Sat?

Have a great evening everyone!

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning Team!!!

How is everyone....and WHERE is everyone!!!!

Lynn Report your totals on Satuday if you would prefer! If you want to do the partial week, that's fine too. My philosophy is: Whaterver works best for you!!!!

Jack I got your time added in. Thanks! Do you have any more good ideas for a mixer? They are kinda fun.

Everyone Although we are not technically competing in the miles and minutes game with other teams, we are keeping track for ourselves! It's really interesting to see what we can do as a team. If it helps you keep track and motivated, so much the better!

Dave Sorry your race was miserable. May the next ones be better.

Today, it is blowing. Not a sweet little gale, but fast hard wind about 50 mph. Trust me, it's NOT safe. The tempeature is 22 degrees and we have snow, again. Yuck. Today, I am starting back-to-back walks every other week. I HOPE that it will help meto prepare for the Goofy! I want to be well prepared so that I don't hurt too badly and can enjoy the parks to the fullest!

Make a great day! See ya! Connie

Good Morning Team,

As Vicky already said. It's been really windy. Out on Tues & Wed night for 5 each night. Hope it's a little easier tonight.

Really busy at work.....need to run....make it a good one.....Sue

 

[MaryJ]

I am so depressed! (for lack of a better word). Went out yesterday. Planned to walk/run for 50 minutes, but cut it short because I tired out so quickly. Hamstring and knees were hurting a little too. Then today I went out to just WALK with my neighbors. Came back after 45-50 minutes with my lower back killing me! Have an appointment with my chiro in about an hour.

The Indy half marathon is just one month away, so I hope I can get this taken care of in time. I had aches and pains about this time before the WDW half too, so I know it can be done. Good thoughts would be appreciated!

 

[bunnyfoo]

Hi team! Seems like it's windy everywhere and not just Toronto!

Lynn - Hopefully you don't get too much snow!

Connie - Would love it if we could do another mixer! I will send you my hours and miles tonight.

Sue - Look at your mileage for March! That is amazing! Do you think you'll crack 200 miles for April?

Mary - Sorry to hear about your knee and back pain. Even though you have a 1/2 coming up, be careful not to push yourself. You don't want to make the injuries worse. Has your chiro given you any stretches or exercises to do? I've found that sometimes a massage will help with the aches and pains. Let us know how it goes.

Jen, Eva, Dave, Denise, Margie -

Have a great day everyone!

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Hi all,

Mary, I know that feeling. I definitely had a similar one yesterday.

Did a pace 4 miler in 30 minutes (7:30 pace).

I'm off to go see Dirty Dancing: The Musical with some friends tonight.

Best,
Jennifer

Helloooo, Hakuna Matata! I hate to do a drive-by, but this one's for Connie.

Connie, when you get a chance, can you check your team roster against the one on the first page of the recruitment thread? I'm temporarily placing people on teams until Susie returns, and want to make sure teams remain balanced when new requests come in. If you've got WISHers who dropped out, let me know. I'm keeping the updated, April rosters on this post.

Oh, and a big hug to the Panda. Just because. But you all deserve a hug, so

Hello Everyone!

Well normally this time my friends and I go to Lancaster PA in Amish country for the quilt show. But because of the economy and lack of $$ we decided not to go this year. We in turn still took the time off and made our own Faux PA trip.

Yesterday it was at my house, today it was at a friends and tomorrow we're going to stimulate the economy here in NH and in MASS. Saturday we go to a small local quilt show. We have had a blast so far! After organizing my fabric and cleaning my sewing studio, I really don't need much but it is nice to go out and get a few ideas which is what the shopping and viewing part of the weekend will bring.

It was a beauty of a day when we were done for the day so Mark and I went out for a quick 4 miles. I wanted more be we had chores to do including grocery shopping.

So here's a link to my studio - nice and tidy!

Happy that it's spring time here in NH. We did still see a few mounds of snow that are in the shade but they are few and far between, should be gone tomorrow.

Good Evening Team! How about this - 2 days in a row I have made it on the computer!

for MaryJ!

Denise - your room is very organized - not at all like my craft room

No snow here, today was almost pleasant, a bit warmer, sunny most of the day, the the wind was still 20+ which put a damper on the day. The dogs and I did get out for a 3 mile walk, the second half difficult because of the wind!

Connie - I will wait until Saturday for totals, by then I might have some totals to post!

Have a great evening everyone!

 

[wdw4us]

Denise - your room is very organized - not at all like my craft room

Oh it's only that way because we spent 2 days organizing it. It was a Disaster!

I hope to keep it up but creative minds have a hard time being neat.

Good Morning Team!

We didn't have much snow, but it wasn't a nice day yesterday. High winds and dusting of snow. Yuck.

Vickie! What kind of mixer would you like??

I didn't get any exercise in yesterday. I will do better today.

See ya - Connie

Gooooood morning Hakuna Matata!!!

Well today has been a good one so far. I slept in and enjoyed the window being open and hearing the rain pitter patter. I always sleep so good when it's rainy out! I'm hoping today will come with no more bad news. Yesterday, I found out that a high school friend of mine committed suicide. The day before that, I found out that a friend of mine was robbed at gun point and shot the assailant. Here's the new story: http://www.newsnet5.com/home-backup/19059721/detail.html

The friend who had killed himself wasn't somebody I was close to..I haven't seen or talked to him in 10 years. I was more shocked than anything. And the guy who was robbed is a friend of my husbands. Seems to have the sympathy of the city. He had just opened his store and was held up with a shotgun. Anywho...just hoping today is much less eventfull.

Hello to everyone...hope all is well and everyone is staying strong!!

 

[MaryJ]

Eva.... to you and your DH. That is just crazy!

My back is about the same today. My chiro did give me some stretching ideas to do and the trainer at the gym worked with me some today too. Tomorrow looks to be the only nice day we'll have for a while, so I'd really like to get outside for my jog. But, I'll just have to see how the back is feeling.

Jennifer...I wish I could do 4 miles in 30 minutes! Since I'm mostly a walker with some jogging thrown in, I'm doing really good if I can do 4 miles in an hour!
