Hakuna Matata - Streaking through the Hot August Nights

[Motomiker]

Happy Saturday Team!

I ran eight and walked two more yesterday. Pace on the run was 10:14 so I've picked up the speed a little. No workout today as I had a funeral for a past co-worker and friend. (Diabetes sucks!) Not really in the mood to run in the heat. I did 24 miles total this week so I'm good with taking the day off. Put away the laundry, balanced the checkbook, and maybe going for an early dinner with Liz.

Margie~ when I saw Kirstie at the Everest Challenge she said that she wouldn't be racing any more because they couldn't fix her chair. She said that she would check in here... I miss her!
No nerves for Liz yet, she has trained hard for her Tri and is ready to go. My schedule is up in the air at work, so I have to do some major fanagaling to make sure I get that day off. We will be heading to WI on Saturday, picking up her race packet and heading to the Milwaukee Zoo for the day. The race is early on Sunday.

Regina~ You will find the mojo again! Don't let it get you down!

Kim and Mike~ Happy Anniversary!!!

Dave~ How's the "new" job going? Congrats on being single! May the ladies line up at your door and you still remain a gentleman! (No offense to Sally!)

Connie~ Yes! I remember the Calgon commercial, do you recall the Palmolive one's with Marge soaking her hands?

Vicky~ You in heels! I don't think I could take it!

Hope all is well with everyone! -Mike

Hi everyone! Another humid day in the city! I was out for a 10K this morning and then went around town to get some errands done. I was thinking about making some of lunches and dinners for the week but it's pretty warm out so I don't feel like turning on the stove to cook.

Kim - Happy anniversary to you and Mike! Hope you're both have a wonderful day

Margie - WTG on the 6:30 AM walk with Nikki! It's much nicer when you have someone to go out with! Has it rained there yet? I hope things cool down or at least the humidity goes away. How's little Hagen doing? Any improvement on his condition?

Scott - Feel free to send the cool breeze up north!

Regina - We've all gotten in the training slump from time to time. Don't let it get you down As Margie and Mike have said, it's been a difficult summer (heat-wise) so it's hard been hard to keep your motivation up. We're all cheering you on though!!

I've gotten the side foot pain before - I wish I could tell you what it's from but it comes and goes for me. My PT and chiro were never able to figure out the reason behind mine. Best guess they had was that my foot was trying to find balance and when that happens, there are tiny muscles on the side of your feet that try to "grip" the floor to give you stability and balance. Do you find that happens with you lift as well?

Mary - That's awesome that you got to watch the meteor shower! I wanted to but there isn't a place in the city without light pollution. To get a nice view of the night sky, we'd need a massive power failure to get out about 2 hours from the city. Sounds like it was lot of fun though.

Mike - Sorry to hear about your friend I know a lot of people with type II diabetes who don't take things very seriously. I wish they would. I walk like a linebacker when my heels are too high! Not quite as graceful as some of the other girls I know. I did read an article recently about women shortening their calf muscles from constantly wearing heels so I guess I'm not too upset. Can't wait to hear about Liz's tri! Tell her good luck from all of us!

Sue - Have fun at the cottage! I always stayed away from Lush too because the smell. I'm not much of a perfumey/scent kind of person but I'll check out the foot cream the next time I head up to the Eaton Center.

Connie - That's a lot of peaches! You must put in hours preparing all the fruit and veggies - the picking, preparation and the pickling! Any plans for a peach pie or are they just going to be canned?

AFM - I was bored this afternoon so decided to go for a mini walk around a neighbourhood in midtown Toronto. I passed by a shop that sold baked goods and popped in and ended up picking up four cupcakes and two cookies. So there goes the low sugar diet after all ... well I figure the 30K next Saturday will help out

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!!

 

[Pudge_The_Fish]

Hello Team!

Mary - I'm glad you were able to see the meteor shower! You should be able to see some for the next several nights.

Vicky - I'm not able to see the meteor shower very well either, there is a lot of light of pollution in So Cal. The meteor shower happens every year, so I hope I can plan a trip to get out of the city next year. I also saw that article about the effects of wearing heels. I'm not very graceful in heels either.

Mike - Sorry to hear about your friend.

Kim and Mike - Happy Anniversary! Hope you have a wonderful day.

Margie - WTG on your walk!

Regina - The volunteer program sounds really neat, I hope you get selected!

Sue - Have fun at the cottage!

AFM - DH and I did 10 miles at walk 3/ run 1 min today. This was our longest run yet and the longest one we will do in our training. I thought it went well.

I'll be doing laundry the rest of the day. I have a potluck for my softball team tomorrow. I'm making rice krispie treats to take to the party.

Have a good weekend!
Emily

 

[Steffwalks]

Hey guys!

Mike - "you're soaking in it!" Just to prove how gentle Palmolive really is! Here's one: Josephine the plumber? -- Sorry your friend has diabetes. He can live a very long, very productive, practically normal life, if he wants too!

Regina - Thanks for the info. I thought that was probably the shoes you were talking about. Good luck with the volunteer program.

Kim and Mike - Happy Anniversary! You have been married all of your lives, haven't you?

Vicky - 5 inch heels are not for walking in. They are for wearing to bed!

Sue - Thanks for the info! Now, I don't have to stock up on the Chocolate Mint Gu at Christmas!!

Emily - great job on your 10 mile run! Isn't it exhilerating discovering that you can REALLY do that???

Margie - Yea, sled dogs get great treatment, when they aren't on the dang sled! I have been on the sled for years!!!! The difference between a back of the pack dog and the lead dog is: When you're in the pack, the view never changes! I 'm just a back of the pack kinda girl! -- Great job on the workouts. Now, motivate me, too!

Dave= Tell Sally to get well soon!

AFM - Being an ant (you know storing up for the winter) is a full time job! Today, I used 2 quarts of the peaches to make jam. There's still a lot of peaches left and bunch still on the trees. Then there are the apples to pick and I am still doing okra every other day. There will be peach pies and peach wine, before I finish with the peaches! Apple pies. Apple preserves, apple butter and apple wine. Then hunting season will start and there will be Elk to process and deer, perhaps a hog. Want to live in the country????

 

[MaryJ]

Good Morning Team!

I guess that at least part of that saying about "Early to bed, early to rise" is true. I had a headache last night, so I turned in early. Now here it is, 6:30 on a Sunday morning, and I'm awake. However, I don't think I'm any wiser!

Mike...I agree. Diabetes does suck! When I went to my high school reunion earlier this summer, there was a woman there in a wheelchair. When I went to talk with her, I could see that she had had her leg amputated below the knee. I asked her what happened and she said she had been diabetic since she was 19 and it had finally caught up with her. I have another friend that is diabetic that I met here on the DIS, and the next day I sent her a very heart felt note asking her to take care of herself!

Vicky...I think I have only worn heels twice in the last seven years. Both times were for my DD's weddings! And even then, I found Isotoner slippers that matched my dress to wear for the receptions!

Connie and Mike...I guess we're showing our age! I remember all those commercials, and still use the Calgon expression whenever I'm overwhelmed about something. How about Alka Seltzer? Plop, plop, fizz, fizz...?

AFM: Did 4 miles yesterday, again on the indoor track. Had to walk a good deal of the last half mile as my right hip was giving me some pain. I think it might be related to carrying DGD on my hip last week. Probably something is out of alignment. Going to call the chiro tomorrow to see if I can get in and get straightened out. Going to run some errands after church, then probably will come back home and get some things done here.

 

[Scott H]

Up and at um, lots of home projects yesterday, will chill today, Lynn is on her way home 600 miles to drive,

Have a good one,

 

[Hockeychic]

Thank you all for the Anniversary wishes.

Connie, I think so we have actually been together for 29 years but only married for 23, crazy eh and I am only 44.

Have a great Sunday all.

 

[es45]

Hi, Team,

I've been traveling quite a bit lately and this has been my first opportunity to say hello. I've been keeping up with my training since mother's recovery from her serious accident. I'm still looking for a first 5k that fits my crazy schedule.

Enjoy the day, everyone! Happy 15th to Kim & DH and Happy 23rd to Mike!

 

[funwalker]

Good Morning, Team!

Partly Cloudy
High of 87°; Humidity 90%

No Hakuna Matata Team
Racers on this Weekend’s Calendar

Connie- Seriously, NO you are not a back of the
Pack Kinda Girl!'
I can remember those wonderful days of canning - it's the clean
up that I did not care for. But even that was worth it when you opened
that jar of homemade goodies!
I did get to soak a bit in Lake Michigan late last night.
I felt a bit greedy and wanted a lot more

Dave-hope you find time to get in a nice walk.
Does the hotel have a workout center and a pool?

Emily- WTG that was a really nice Walk/Run!

Kim-Happy-Happy Anniversary!
Hope you are having a great day today!

Lynn-Safe Travels today!

Mary-WTG-Nice Run!

Mike-sorry to hear about your friend.
WTG- another nice run!
That is fantastic that Liz does not get a case of the
nerves before races especially first one!
Thanks for the information on Kirstie-was her arm better
when you saw her?

Regina-when will you know about the girls program?
I do volunteer to work at the Girls on the Run race here.
I love the part they all get new shoes!

Scott- Hummm...Rest & Recovery includes 'Lots of Projects?'
When is your Medone scheduled to arrive-I have to dream through
you and want to see pictures of your bike!!!!

Vicky-it seems you have a weakness for cupcakes!
No the heat and humidity is still high here.
High Heels not good for anyone much less a runner!
Totally do not understand why anyone would want to wear 5-inch heels.
Yes, interested in a sample of your daily diet.

AFM: Long day yesterday up at 5:am to walk, cleaned house,
went to South Haven, ate perch at Clementine's, and walked out to
the light house-home at 11:30PM - Rest day today.
Need to get out the door for Worship Service!

[Hockeychic]

Thank you all!!!

I have a delima (just don't know how to spell it) Mike and I have been wrestling on which race to do in January.

At first I thought I wanted to do another Goofy, then decided and I know this sounds weird but since when I did my first goofy it is was also my first marathon that I didn't give the marathon the praise it deserved, the mickey medal came off and only wore the goofy.

So figured I would do the marathon and give it all I had. Now I am not sure I have the marathon in me. I had a stonker of a walk on Friday night and am doubting I can do it again. SO we decided that since the 1/2 is close to full we better register for it and give up on the marathon dream. Now while sitting in front of the computer staring at the mickey medal....although I don't like it, I can't bring myself to register for the 1/2...

Does any of this make sense? I didn't lose the weight I wanted to, although still have time for that, still deal on and off with PF,....ugh I am a mess today.

Thoughts please!!!

 

[bunnyfoo]

Hi team! We've got heavy thunderstorms passing through the area so hopefully I get to finish my post. My laptop battery has been dead for sometime and since a replacement is going to cost about $200, I figured I might as well get a new laptop. I'm just hanging onto this one until there's a good sale or it dies completely

Kim - Keep thinking about it for a little while longer. I always register when the percentage closes in on 90% I like living on the edge (and I can always register through the Disney Sports travel company). Don't let one training walk dictate which race you pick. This summer has been hot, humid and extremely difficult for running or walking. Try doing the same training distance in two months from now and I'll bet it will be a world of difference in the cool October weather! If you're able to make a few key changes with your diet and exercise, you'll see results in 6 weeks ... but you have to work at it. Trust me, I've seen it done and I know you - so I know you can do it!

I can't tell you which race to pick because I've never done a marathon or the oofy. Personally, from what you've told me about the race last year - I think you have it in you to do the Goofy again. Just remember, you are one tough cookie! But if you're looking for a more relaxed weekend, go with the 1/2 or the full. Maybe the full would be a good option and then you'll be able to have the entire experience of the full. Whatever you decide - we're behind you 110%

Margie - There's something about cupcakes that just so cute I just have a major sweet tooth and have a tough time with sugar so I try to stay away as much as I can. Okay here's what a typical day looks like for me:

Breakfast
1/3 cup minute oats with blueberries, walnuts, flax seed, oat bran and sugar free syrup

1st snack
Coffee (low fat milk, 1/2 pack of sweetner, pinch of cinnamon)
Piece of fruit
Snack size yogurt cup - 100 g (no fat with sweetner)

Lunch
Mixed greens salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and any other veggies I can dig up
10 Baby carrots
1 Babybel low fat cheese wheel
1/2 can tuna - made with low fat mayo, green onions, spices (curry, paprika, black pepper)
Toasted 100 cal whole wheat thin hamburger bun (but sometimes I'll have a Weight Watchers WW bagel or english muffin)

2nd Snack
12 almonds or mixed nuts
Apple
(1/2 a Luna bar on training days)

Dinner
Mixed green salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers etc.
Two Finn Crisp cracker pieces with 1oz cheese sliced
Steamed veggies or grilled tofu
Grilled chicken breast with spices

Dessert
Fruit - either mangoes, grapes or a peach
A really good dessert I made recently was 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, organic strawberries and honey drizzle (if not sweet enough). The strawberries should be really sweet since they're organic and has fibre. Greek yogurt has a ton of protein so it will help to keep you feeling full.

I also drink about 2L of water through out the day and at meals. And have a green tea sometimes after dinner. Phew!

Connie - But all of the work is so worth it! Especially when the rest of us are eating supermarket fruit in the winter wondering why it doesn't as good as it does in the summer My dad goes hunting and usually brings back moose meat - it reminds me of goat meat but I've never had elk. I at the bed and heels comment!!

es45 - for your mom! I hope she has a speedy recovery.

Mary - WTG on your 4 miler! I hope your chiro is able to fix your hips! See if there are some hip opening exercises they can recommend. That really helped with my hip pain

Emily - Cool! I didn't know the meteor shower was a yearly event. Well, I put it into my Outlook for next year so I'll remember to make plans. Have fun at your potluck! Rice Krispie treats- yummy! Another one of my favourites!!

AFM - I did a 7K (4.3 mile) run this morning. The humidity was high but at least it was cloudy so I was able to skip the sunscreen (yeah I know about the UVA rays, I'm just lazy ) and headed out. I passed my mom and sister who were out on their walk. They yelled at me to slow down and I yelled at them to speed up

Went out to lunch and then did a little bit of shopping with my mom and sister. We went to an outdoor mall but it was much too hot with the sun and humidity to walk outside so we went back home. I started cooking my dinners for the week to see if that would save me any time. I made a spaghetti sauce with extra lean ground beef, green peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms and spices. I'll boil the pasta later on so I don't take up too much fridge space. I made pork skewers and some lamb sausages. And then the kitchen got too hot and I was tired. I figure that should last me until about Thursday or Friday. I also made some tuna fish for lunch and then heard on the radio that there was a salmonella warning for green onions. The warning was for a different supermarket but it still made me feel funny. I can't do anything about it now since everything's been prepared. I'll post if I get sick.

Have a great Sunday everyone!

 

[Piglet24]

Hey Team!

Kim- Good luck with the diet!!! You’re doing WW now too right? Happy Anniversary!!! Yes you make perfect sense. Well, we all have bad training days from time to time, so just b/c you had a bad walk on Fri night, doesn’t mean you can’t do it. If you can do goofy, I’m sure you can do the full! I agree with Vicky- we’re behind you 110% whatever you decide!

Margie- I’m glad I’m not the only one struggling with motivation from time to time! Thanks! I’m not sure when I’ll know about the girls program? Hopefully sometime this week? Rest sounds good today!

Mike- I’m sorry to hear about your friend. Thanks for the encouragement! I’m sure you’re right- just gotta hang in there. There’s no way Kirstie could get a new chair? What kind of tri is Liz doing (which distances)?

Vicky- Thanks for the encouragement! Yeah, my foot pain comes and goes as well. If I remember correctly, it seems like when I do calf raises sometimes my foot hurts after, but I thought that was because of the way it was bending and moving during the exercise. Cupcakes sound delicious! What kind were they? I think preparing meals for the week sounds like a great idea for time saving. I hope it helps and that you don’t get sick from the green onions!

Emily- Thanks! I haven’t made rice krispie treats in forever. Those sound delicious too! How was the potluck? Great job on your 10 mi run!!!! I’m glad it went well for you and DH!

Connie- No thanks! I’m not sure I could make it as a country girl.

ES45- I’m glad you’re keeping up with your training.

Mary- Way to go on the 4 miles! I hope you’re able to get in to see the chiro quick!

AFM, DH and I made it out for our 10 mi run today. It was on the TM. I finished in 2:00:30. I stopped for 5 walk breaks to drink fluids and drank all my fluids in my fuel belt. I have 2 -8oz bottles, so I’m wondering if I should add another bottle, or see if the 10oz bottles would fit on my belt? My legs were really sore before I started my run from my workout yesterday, and they’re still sore after the 10 mi. Not too bad though, I guess. I was just happy to finish! I did seem to hurt a couple of my toes during the run- not sure how that happened since it's been awhile since I've bruised them or gotten a blister. Maybe just the longer distance, I guess. It does get easier….right??

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

I am home after 2 long days of driving. I was on the road Saturday at 6:45 am, had a 1.5 hour break to visit my cousin in CA, and got to the hotel at 8:30pm. Started out Sunday at 6:30am, lost 1 hour enroute due to time change, and drove into my driveway at 5pm. My only stops were to put gas in the car and to use the restroom. I had a cooler full of food, and at my gas stop would throw together a sandwich that I ate while driving. I went thru a total of 4 books, 3 were 8 disc books and 1 was an 11 disc book. The books really helped pass the time. (Today I have to return all those books to the library). No exercise while on trip (other that hauling boxes, and lots of stairs), now I will have to re-acclimatize myself to the high altitude. It is cool and very foggy, waiting for fog to lift before walking the dogs, I don't want to get run over by a car I cannot even see.

Vicky – 5” heals in a fitness competition – that does not go together!

Sue – I recently read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and I agree that although I enjoyed the book, it took we a long time to get into it, and I did not think it was fantastic – I have not yet run out to buy the sequels, I may read them, but I did not think it was as great as I was lead to believe it would be.

Margie – for awhile I was really into Sandra Brown, then just got bored with them. My favorite that I read was “Envy” – at least I think that was the title, it was several years ago.

Happy Belated Anniversary Kim and Mike!!!

Did not realize the meteor shower was going on, we used to watch it all the time in Jackson, it was always well publicized there, but not so much here in Cheyenne.

Mike – Sorry to hear about your friend. Sounds like you have been doing a great job on training. Good luck to Liz on her tri!

Regina – good luck on the volunteer program.

Emily – Rice krispy treats – one of my favorites! Good choice.

Connie – I am seeing a lot of wine in that list!

Kim – Personally, I think anyone who does the Goofy is, well, Goofy! I prefer the halfs, I did 1 marathon, and that was enough for me. The first 15 miles were fun, but after that – not so much fun, so I decided to stick to the 13 miles and try to keep it fun – BUT you will have to decide for yourself!

Pixie dust to all who are in need!

Have a great day all!

 

[es45]

Happy Monday everyone!

Vicky: your meal schedule made me jealous. I start out with the best intentions but by dinner, I'm raiding the pantry for junk food.

Connie: You picked 4-5 gallon buckets this weekend from your garden?? I picked 4-5 pieces from my patio garden. There is no way I'm saving money by growing my own. I know I must have put at least 3x as much $ in as what I'm getting out of it. Except for the basil from my herb garden. Good grief, I can't even kill it. No matter what I do, it just multiplies....

Elizabeth

 

[GirTheGecko]

I did two miles today, managed to make it home in time before the storm hit. So I stayed dry and got a work out in, yay!

 

[funwalker]

Good Morning, Team!

7:00AM Temperature was 61°-the coolest we have been in a month.
It is a relief even with the humidity – less stress in the air!
Sunny - High of 81°; Humidity 90%

Connie- Must be busy today putting
away your winter supplies.

Dave- Tell Sally we will be thinking of her tomorrow.
Please let us know how she is doing after surgery.

Elizabeth- sounds about like my adventures of gardening with
patio pots
It seems they never have enough water even when it rains I
have to water them.

Hope-WTG nice walk glad you beat the rain but that
Might have felt really good too!

Kim- like Vicky I would not know what to tell you about WDW.
Only you know your body. Don’t add un-necessary stress to your life…
Make it Fun and do what you will truly enjoy!

Lynn-Welcome Home…

I have read some of Sandra Brown but not a big fan either.
Today's Book is Sweet Violet by Catherine Palmer
About an English girl raised in India

Mike- for the update on Kirstie I did not know she
would not be racing because her chair could not be fixed.
I do not understand it as it was a new chair.
But it truly is sad

Regina-WTG on your 10-miler…that had to be tough on the TM!

Vicky-Thanks for the daily food plan! I will give it a try this week.
But will need to add the protein shake I drink in the morning-
Then breakfast is my morning snack-
Usually toast w/peanut butter or ½ cup of steel cup oaks with cinnamon

AFM: Gym: DM 2-mile warm up/added a little speed gradually to 4.5mph;
30-minuter shorter Upper Body Workout
Went for the 2nd deep muscle massage this morning.
1st helped a lot hope this one will fix the problems
(I have been having with my neck, right shoulder, and back
(since DD’s last ER emergency) Yes, I know it is stress & tense muscles.
DD's 34th birthday today-



Removing Jennifer from the injured list-
Added Dave’s Salee. She is scheduled for surgery Tuesday.

Hi team! I noticed the percentages for the January races are starting to increase. The full is 65%, half is 77%, Goofy is 70% and the 5K is 50%. I'm still waiting for it to fill up just a *little* more I'm not panicking yet.

Margie - for your cold! Hope you're feeling better soon! Make sure you're getting enough rest! You're always up and about. Please wish Sara a happy belated birthday! Yup, I'm in taper... low mileage planned for today, tomorrow and Thursday, nothing above 6K. How are you feeling after your massage?

Hope - I'm not a fan of wet shoes and socks either - especially during a winter run. But I do love going out and running in the rain

Regina - WTG on your 10 miler! I think the long runs eventually get easier but it takes time. Each time I train for a race, I find certain distances easier to run. The cupcakes were chocolate, red velvet (my favourite), maple and banana chocolate.

Elizabeth - Yup, the sugar is hard for me to resist most days too. I try to go out for treats and that way I don't keep anything sugary in the house

Dave - I hope things go well for Sally today

Lynn - Glad you're back safely! That's a long of driving for one person!

AFM - I'm going out running this evening when I get back home. Just trying to get accustomed to the humidity of the afternoon/evening but I probably should have thought of that a couple of weeks ago

Went for my training session yesterday and did a lot of compound body weight exercises. I asked to go lighter on the legs so I could keep them fresh for Saturday! Got a nice compliment from my dentist who also trains there too. She said I was looking a lot more muscular and toned lately. I said she made my day! I've known her for a long long time - she use to live on my street and I use to babysit her kids when I was younger. Haha!

Have a great day everyone!
