Hakuna Matata -Spring-ing into Action for Race Season

[windwalker]

This reminds me of what I friend told me yesterday. Her sister-in-law just turned 50. She is a runner, so as a gag gift, my friend bought a cheap pair of running shorts and sewed a Depends into them. I can post this and laugh because I am 50+ as well.

LOL, I'm 50++++++++, so I can chuckle about the whole age thing also.

Nick turns 29 next month, so I'm going to have to get some sort of gag gift together for him. Still can't believe he said I was old and falling apart. Wonder what he's going to say when I hit 50 or 60.

Remember age is just a number! I was 40 and diagnosed with cancer, now I'm still alive,41, and cancer free! Our bodies do change as we age, It's up to us to fight the progress of time by doing our best to stay healthy and challenge ourselves. If anyone calls me old, I agree with them, and then ask them if they want to sign up for a race with me! Only a couple of people have answered the challenge by saying yes to the race. I shake my aged noggin' at the rest as they fumble for what to say!

Also, to be old and wise you must first be young and stupid. I am still working on both and refuse to join either camp exclusively!

Hi team! I never seem to get updates anymore when this thread is updated... go figure!

Mike - Congrats on your 8 miler! That's fantastic time too! You're going to do really well at the half in January!

Dave - I love haircuts! I actually have an appointment next weekend to get a trim and a colour!

Jennifer - for your knee! I was going to suggest hip and core exercises but you already have a yoga and pilates routine right?

Hope - I always say I'm 23 because that's when I stopped counting Have to agree with Mike that age is just a number. I know a lot of "old" 25-year-old people

Connie - Glad to see you again! Congrats on the 14 pound loss! That's awesome! Wish I had a garden to grow my own veggies but I just wouldn't have the time to tend to it properly.

Margie - I usually get rest breaks in between exercises, especially after doing a set of burpees. I don't get many breaks in on my Thursday workouts because my training session is only 30 minutes.

Kirstie - Safe travels! I hope everything works out this weekend for you!

AFM - This thread moves fast! I brought my friend Darryl along with me to my training session on Monday. It was his first time working with my PT so needless to say he got a good butt kick! We did the same exercise routine but I did most of them with extra weight and a set of burpees in between. All the clients in the gym at that time were women, except for Darryl and we were all in so much better shape than he was! Princesses rock! I just love it when the girls can beat guys But working out with someone else has also made me appreciate the progress I've made so far and that I'm actually in pretty good shape! Yay!

Back for another short training session tonight and will probably stick to deadlifting. I'm looking forward to the weekend and having some down time. No plans but I'm hoping to catch a movie and maybe go shopping.

Have a great day everyone!

As his mother, I don't think he's talking about something he wants to continue, if he would like his 2 sandwiches from me in the future........

Good Afternoon:

After a full day yesterday that started at 5am, I came home from work and we went out for 4 miles. I really wanted 5 but the bathroom called so I had to cut it short. Good thing or else it would have been an issue for me.

Tonight, Mark is busy so I will trek out alone. I have a residential route that we follow so it should be fine. It’s suppose to rain tomorrow and I have a meeting after work so it’s the best way to get in my miles. Saturday, I will be over my 20 mile goal if I go out and hopefully I can spare an hour for miles. Yes, we call can!

It’s good to see all of you working hard and getting strong, we are a great team even if we only work out across the world instead of together!

Well I am at work so I’ll sign off.

Have a great rest of the day.

Vicky, Yep, the yoga and pilates is helping.

Knee is better (or getting there). I'm pretty sure it's just "over use".

Today was a day I'm glad I was a runner. They changed all of our classes to get ready for testing. Then we had a local high school student die. Then my IPhone died.

4 miles today in 35 minutes. (would have been longer, but I didn't get out there until late)

Heading to Ladies' Night tomorrow at the local running store. I so deserve some retail therapy.

I dunno about that. How much paper can you put into said sandwiches?

Tonight at work, I decided to push it, trying to keep my heart rate up. It was kinda fun actually. Nothing too crazy, just scrubbing, general cleaning and running around my department. I also managed to get everything done early, which can be a good thing.

Good morning team!!!!! Yaaaa it is Friday!!!

Vicky You are in great shape, not just pretty good shape. WTG GIRLS!!!!!!

DAVE Age is only a number thrust upon you by your birth certificate. WOuld you rather be a little over 50 and feeling great or a 30 year old couch potatoes who stuggles just to walk up a flight of stairs

Robert WTG on the workouts, eatting right and losing almost 25 pds. That is great. Keep up the good work. Say hi to Linda and stop by more often

I finally got my own copy of P90X. I refused to buy it in the stores, just way too much money but a friend of a friend.....works at a store that sells them so I got the employee discount. I had borrowed a co-workers tapes and have been doing them for the last 6 days and I love them but excited to get on the 90 day program. I am not going to officially start that until after my 1/2 at the end of May but will continue to do some of the tapes.

Make it a good one everyone it is the only April 16, 2010 we will have!!!!

 

[windwalker]

I was up at 5am again and off to the pool for a good pool workout and a good stretching session after, I'm tired again now and have a 12 hr shift at work waiting, EEEEEEEEEEK!

Kim you are going to be sooooo buff.

Ok off to get ready for work.

Dave

 

[Hockeychic]

Kim you are going to be sooooo buff.

Dave

I know!!!!!!

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning, Team!

A sandwich with paper? I wouldn't mind someone making me sandwiches!

Age is relative, don't you know? Yup, if your relatives live to a ripe old age, you probably will too!!

Vicky - You are the champion! Kim will be buff, you already are. Good to hear from you.

Robert - Wow, you are one busy dude! Good thing you are still young, relatively speaking. Enjoy the big weight loss now, it gets harder!

Dave - Long hours are no fun. But big paychecks ...those are! Think of it as Mouse Reward!

Mike - Very few people have accepted the race challenge with me. Although, I don't run! And btw, I was never young and stupid. I was young and beautiful. I am trying to maintain the beauty part! Talk about a tough job!!!!

Margie - No pics of the mules, yet. Jon finally turned them out into the pasture yesterday. Pics will come out better, now. Lucy is only 12 hands (a hand is indeed 4 inches) and Betty is 13. We just bought another one, He is 16 and just 3 years old. No telling how big he will be by the time he's 7! I want to name him either, Reeky or Barney!

Kim - You are doing a great job! Got those cowboy boots, yet?

Jennifer - That was a bad day. Those kinds of events can be so traumatizing in a HS! More PD for the knee.

Hope - Love the "push it" idea. I guess the pay off was the fun and finishing up early! Go girl.

MaryJ - Gag gift? I guess that Depends! I hope the friend pulled the Depends out and used the shorts!

Denise - You are strong. I want to be just like you when I finally heal up!

Helloooo to Eva, Gerry, Jack, Kristie, Lorelei528, Pam, Regina, Scott & Lynn, and Sue!

AFM - I did a video yesterday. One of those Walk Away the Pounds videos. Worked for about an hour. My foot hurt, but I iced and it stopped after a little while. That makes me much more optimistic about the OKC Memorial half marathon. I decided to try the Asics shoes again and placed my order, on Wednesday. Can't wait to see them and try them on. Too bad there's no discount on Asics!

See ya - Connie

I had some fun today.

I wanted to get photos of my wedding dress for my father, so I tried it on. It fit (yay! I was a bit nervous driving over). It's still so perfect. Nick, the fashion guru, gave me a few pointers for the big day. He wants to see the lace up in the back come to a point.

 

[wdw4us]

On more than one occasion, I made a large hollowed out bread loaded with cold cuts, cheese, veggies layered and loaded with salad dressing and hot peppers. One or two times, Nick got the slice with cheese that still had some paper on it. It always seems to be HIM!

Last week I was making burgers on the grill and adding a slice of cheese, I did ask Nick if he would like his burger with or without paper. He gave me a look. It's just a ongoing joke, bit I do make a fab sandwich = and he now asks for 2, while 1 would be enough. He just rubs his belly and puffs it out.

I do try to be careful about the paper but now, its more fun for the rest of us for him to have the paper.

Hi Guys.

Sally came up to visit from Nashville that was a nice surprise after a long 12 hr shift. So we tried out a new restraunt here that was wonderful.

Started the day with a good pool workout so after a 12 hr day I'm tired. But after that big supper we had better do some miles in the morning.

Hi Margie, this is Sally on Dave's computer. Just wanted to say hi and am looking forward to meeting and chatting with you all. I am kind of a slow beginner, but when I warm up, I'll speed up.

 

[syko]

Quick fly by.......All the way to Maine and he did not fix me.
My Dh has been working on it and I need to take it for a spin around the hotel parking lot to see if its enough to allow me to roll.

To everyone.
