Dave- Elk
Take a nap between workouts and you will be fine…

Kristie- I have you down for three races –it just seems like a lot!
Oh-My-Gosh, what are you able to eat?
Yes, kids can be very selective about their candy

Lynn- Hope you are feeling a bit better today!

Mike- the squirrels probably thought they made a haul with those huge nuts!
Take care – a relapse can be extra terrible!

Wishing you Sunshine, Great Training Moments, and Extra Spring
In Your Steps this month!

Good Morning:

It was a busy Easter weekend but so nice here in the Northeast. Well into the 70’s which is unheard of in April. We grilled, ate outside and enjoyed the days. Got in a 4 mile walk on Saturday and another on Sunday night. Each day I feel stronger. It doesn’t take too much time to get back into the rhythm. I usually take Monday off from walking, especially since I just did 2 days. Depends on how things are tonight once I get home.

Hope all of you have a good week of training.

Good Morning beautiful weather this week. No rain!!!

 

[windwalker]

Speed intervals went great, 2 mile brisk walk to warm up, 5 X 200m sprints between 59 and 60 sec each, 2 mile brisk walk to cool down.

Focus today was good technique at speed.

Margie I didn't kill it, it was just what we were served. I haven't killed anything since the 70s.

OMG......just looked at my TICKER!!!!!!

Princess we are going to have wonderful weather this time and we will surely walk some of it together.

Dave

 

[Hockeychic]

I hope so with everyone bundled up this year couldn't find anyone before the race.

Will soon take the plunge and register surprised they aren't showing any percentages yet how how full it is, I guess they really are having trouble this year.

 

[windwalker]

During that 9 mo between now and Goofy , I hope to have won the State games and got a slot for Houston, bought a new house and maybe even be with a new princess. It will be an interesting year to say the least.

Dave

 

[Hockeychic]

That will be exciting for you!!!!

In 9 months, I hope to be 50 pds lighter, and a healthier happier person
I want to be uninjuried and fully trainned going into goofy.

Good Morning Team!

Thanks for the well-wishes. Cold is still with me - I took today off from work again. I plan to try a slow dog walk later in the day to see if I can build back some stamina. I have lost 3 pounds in 4 days. I have been drinking lots of water, so it cannot be water weight. I have not been eating as much as usual, but also not doing any activity. I just hope I can keep those pounds off when I get going again! I am just afraid it is really muscle loss, and will go right back on when I start working out again.

Dave and Kim - good luck with both your goals!

Dve - we used to eat elk all the time when we first lived here in Wyoming - Scott would get an elk every year and it kept us in meat thru the year. Then it got to be more expensive to take the time off to hunt than to buy meat, and I guess Scott did not enjoy it as much, so he quit hunting, so no elk here lately.

Hope the east coast gets a chance to dry out before the next bout of rain. It is nice here today, but we are expecting rain and snow tomorrow.

Have a great week all!

Lynn I've been worrying about you, glad to hear your doing better. I wish I could come and visit you guys, maybe next year it will be possible.

I had a nice surprise, I got my car insurance bill and it was $283.00 for 6 months. After having a daughter on my policy, that thought her calling in life was to wreak cars, that seemed so cheap. I hurried up and mailed it in before they changed their mind. That was on the Mustang to. We have had bills as high as $2300 for six months. Maybe this being single does have it's benefits. "WhooHoo", to quote our princesses.

Kim, I can't believe that it is that fast. Let's see in 9 months, I hope to have Boston Qualified, broken 1:40 in the half and 45 in the 10k. I hope to much more comfortable with my teaching and hopefully about 10 pounds lighter.

Kirstie, My hats off to you on being Vegan. I've tried, but can't stick to it.

It's hot down here in the south. 5 miles in 44 minutes.

Jennifer

 

[Motomiker]

Ugg, sick again! It hit me about 2:30 in the morning. Bad cough, congestion, upset stomach, now a slight fever and headache. Slept most of the day. Robert was sick last week and I think I caught it from him (again). I don't know if I will ever finnish this training program. Not a positive day for me... Mike

 

[Hockeychic]

Hey Lynn!!!!!!! How are you???? Haven't chatted in forever!!!! Feel better soon!!!!

Mike sorry you are under the weather, DH is also now sick, DD had it Friday, DH yesterday....who is next. Hope you also feel better soon.

Jennifer good luck with your goals!!!!! Boston...that would be awesome!!!

Hope to get a walk in tonight. Did so much gardening this weekend really didn't have the energy or time to walk but will get at it tonight.....I WILL

Good Morning Team!

Margie, No extended weekend just really busy to post.

Mike, Hope you feel better soon.

Had a great long run on Sat. I ran from Niagara Falls along the Niagara River to my inlaws. Fantastic weather & view.

Gym was closed & classes cancelled last night. So I missed out on yoga but went for a run instead. The wind was strong. It felt like I was running in slow motion.

The rain has stopped but we might be getting more this afternoon. I will have to wait & see if I run tonight.

Have a great day...........Sue

 

[bunnyfoo]

Hi team! Rainy weather and grey skies here... What happened to the sunshine? I want to wear my sandals. Went to the gym for training last night. More deadlifting and metabolic exercises. I've now incorporated the 135 lb weight into a regular set of deadlifts so I can't wait to move onto the heavier weights. I'm still not confident enough to go running so I think I might start waking up early and going for walks.

Gerry - Good luck with your 5K this weekend!

Sue - Here's hoping the weather clears up! Must be some nice running routes out in Niagara... do your inlaws live on the Canadian or American side?

Margie - Thanks! If I can't be the fastest runner out there, at least I can try to be cute! How's little Hagen doing? Hope he's feeling better!

Kim - Doesn't gardening count as exercise? I've helped my mom weed before and it's not easy. Not to mention carrying around the hose, soil bags and tools... Are you going to join the BL challenge on the weight loss thread? Keep us posted on your progress!

Mike - for your cold! Hope you're feeling better soon!

Jennifer - Those are fantastic goals! I think I asked before but which grade are you teaching this year?

Lynn -

Have a great day everyone!

The last part arrived today. Now I just need Dh to install it!!!!!

We went out today to do hill work and I hurt my arm, so Dh had to get the car for me. I can't move it, Dh is going to have a look at it. I'm sure it's nothing a little rest can't fix.

Off to FW for the movie tonight. Our house guest leave on friday and another one arrives on sat!!!!!!

Take care everyone.

 

[windwalker]

Hi guys, it's a beautiful evening in southern kentucky, finally getting that wonderful warm spring weather we have been so desperately needing. I'm planning on wearing shorts in the morning to train.

Syko, glad to here you got the parts for your chair. Bummer about hurting your arm hope it's better really quick.

Everyone get healed and recovered so you can enjoy this wonderful weather.

Dave
