Good Morning Team!

Back from a relaxing vacation at the cottage. We had great weather & missed out on the big storm that swept across Southern Ontario. The lake was warm enough for swimming, finally!

Vicky, Kim How was your race? Were you both 1st timers? Would you do it again? I will have to keep this one in mind for next year.

Dave, Congrats! on the arrival of baby Aiden.

Connie, Lynn More pixie dust for a speedy recovery from your injuries.

Kind of a blaw day right now. 9 miler for tonight or maybe spin depending on the weather.

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

Good Morning Team!

Jennifer - didn't you start with 1st grade? They are jumping you around quite a bit, hope the moves are good ones!

Was told by PT that I could not ride a bike outside for at least another week - if I had a stationary bike - that would have been OK. They keep telling me I am in "recovery" mode for 3-4 weeks, so don't look for too much activity or improvement until after those 3-4 weeks. On one hand, they say weight bearing exercise as tolerated, on the other, they say no walking other than around the house, or around a store - so I guess it will be a few weeks before I can get back into a regular exercise program. But I am counting my time for my 30 min exercise routine 3 times a day!

Have a great day all!

 

[Scott H]

Got the pups out for an uneventful morning walk,

Lots done at work this morn, Maybe have to find the motor bike here soon.

Hello team! I apologize for being MIA this week. The internet connection at home has been on the fritz, work's been busy and since I usually don't post on the weekend, it feels like I haven't been around forever. Lots of catching up to do!

I ran my 15K race on Saturday evening. It was a good time - met up with Kim and Mike. The race was a good size and I got a PB of 1:34:52. I did a race report up here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=33321030#post33321030

Lynn - Lots of for a speedy recovery! Sorry to hear you won't be able to do the DL 1/2. Do you know about January yet or is it too early?

Sue - I want to try the 30K race next year but am not really sure about running in the dark. Even though, they start an hour earlier, I saw a lot of runners going down Lakeshore when I was headed back to my car. Good luck with your 9 miler tonight

Kim - Yay for the Goofy training! You'll have to share your plan with me next year! Eat clean ... hmm... I've heard of that Make sure you keep healthy snacks with you at work. I find my office is a trap when it comes to sweets and snacks.

Jennifer - Are they moving you even though the school year has already started? I hope things go well with the switcharoo! How's the training for the 1/2 going? That's in about 2 weeks?

Dave - Got the pictures from Erica! Aiden is a really cutie pie! He's so small I'm glad to hear he's doing well. How about DD? How's she doing?

Denise - Sounds like a hectic weekend! and for you and Miranda! I will keep your advice in mind about voice volume. I've been guilty of yelling many times in crazy situations.

Connie - How's your ankle doing?

Margie - Congrats on your race! Sorry to hear about Hagen Hope he's feeling better today! Joan Samuelson is going to be doing a 1/2 in September in Toronto. I think she's scheduled to speak at the expo.

Eva - Yup! My trip is coming up - we'll be there the 1st week of October. We decided to go with the regular dining plan but we'll be going to the Yachtsman and California Grill so we'll probably trade off for a few CS meals. We're also doing Victoria & Albert's (for my birthday!). What are your dates? You must be excited about the ultrasound

Phew! That's all for now! Here's hoping my internet gets fixed sometime soon!

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Lynn, Yep I was going to do 1st way back when first hired (then 5th, right now I've been with 4th).

Vicky, Yep, we've been in school for almost a month now. Which makes the whole thing more stressful..

I did a 50 minute tempo run today. 5.25 miles, average pace of 8 min/mile, top speed of 7:19.

Best,
Jennifer

 

[MaryJ]

Hi everyone!

Got out for a short walk/run this morning. Dragged DH out of bed to go with me as he's going to do the WDW half too. Walked and ran for 30 minutes with a five minute walk to warm up and cool down. Plenty muggy outside, but glad to have it finished early.

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Thanks for the pd for the knee - I am now having good days and bad - yesterday was a bad day, I woke up with knee aching this morning, guess I may do a few more pain killers today. Yesterday it did not want to bend at all (that is what my exercises do - bend the leg), we will see how today goes.

Knee should be fine for October and January races. I am planning to be able to improve rapidly once I can start walking again!

Vicki - good race report!

Have a great day all!

 

[Scott H]

Nothing exciting here just work....

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Hi all,

I did a 30 minute ab class and 15 minutes other strength training this morning, then ran 4.25 in 32 minutes this afternoon.

Best,
Jennifer

 

[bunnyfoo]

Hello everyone! Not much of import to report today... Worked out in the gym for an hour and did some deadlifting and other weight exercises. Will try to get out tomorrow morning for a 4.5 mile run since the weather's been nice and cool in the morning.

Booked an appointment for some dental surgery next Wednesday. The dentist is someone who also works out at my gym. She's assured me it's a quick procedure with a laser. It's mostly cosmetic more than anything else but I still want to get it done. OTH, did I mention I'm a huge chicken? I booked it sooner rather than later - I didn't want to have a change of heart and back out. But now that I've posted, I guess I have to go through with it.

Have a great night everyone!

 

[funwalker]

Good Morning, TEAM!

Lynn-
Connie-
Vicky-
How is little Aiden today?
Denise- hummm no appearance for little Josie yet?

Michigan is dark, dreary, and rainy again today.

Schedule is still hectic, but is slowing and getting back to a bit of normal.
DD is back to work, but still not able to drive…
Then extra little ones to take care of for a couple of weeks until the Nanny returns from India. And a very intelligent 6-yr old that knows enough to make you want to scream every once in a while.

But have been able to get in a few nice cross-training bike rides this week.

Have a great weekend- those doing the Goofy get your Back-to-Backs in

Connie, Eva, Jack, Jennifer, Jen, Jesters, Kathy, Kim, MaryJ, Sue, Jill, Teresa, Terri, Vicky, And Dave & Erica, Denise & Mark, Scott & Lynn,

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning!

I see so many are doing so well!

Lynn - Things will be better soon!

Jennifer - You are doing just fine. Things will not be as difficult as you fear!
Good job on getting in your workouts!

Margie - Man, a know-it-all 6 year old. I feel for you!

Scott - uneventful has to be nice for a change!

Dave - How's the grandbaby? Is he eating.

My ankle is fine. It just needed some rest. I have to remember to NOT go barefoot!

 

[wdw4us]

Hi Everyone!

The Queen a/k/a Miranda is finally completely in her Condo waiting for the princess. Nick and Hope helped her out a LOT yesterday – on their day off – Way to go!

No Josie yet and I am at work today, since I’m waiting for after the birth to take time off.

I see our Jennifer in Tex is working hard and getting in miles and hours. She’s the little train that could!

Well mail awaits and the start of the day. Will update my status at some point. I have a lot of workout hours and some miles too. Just not many miles….

Have a great weekend.

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

All I can say that I have been doing are my 3 X daily 30 min exercise sessions, that mainly involve bending my knee as far as I can bend it and straightening it as far as I can straighten it!

I am glad to hear that Miranda got moved before baby decided to come into the world.

Have a great day all!

Every morning across the fax machine at my desk is a Business Digest. I like to read the stock items, even though I rarely understand them. It’s a one page fax with all sorts of news, and business information. Today I cut out the Development portion to tape to my clipboard. I live by positive attitude and it has changed my life but a little nudge always helps.

Here for your clipping is today’s development section:

Managing your thoughts and emotions:

You cannot manage the world, and you cannot change the people around you. You only have immediate control of your own thoughts and emotions.

Your moods and your attitudes inexorably make you into the person you are to become. Figure out how you need to think and feel in order to be a success.

Plan for the worst, expect the best and understand the difference between positive and wishful thinking. Positive thinking is working for something and expecting it to happen; wishful thinking is waiting for something and hoping it will happen.

Hi all,

Went to the gym this morning. Worked with weights for 30 minutes, then did 25 minutes on the elliptical, followed by a short walk to cool down.

My plan is to walk/run TThS and do other types of aerobic activity on the other days, with Sun. being the exception. It will be a rest day. However, with a new grandbaby expected any day now, plans will probably most certainly change! I'll keep you posted on that one.

Happy Friday everyone! DH and I are taking my in-laws to St. Louis today for his Navy reunion. On the way back, we plan to stop at Cahokia Mounds. We've always wanted to go there, and this is the perfect opportunity. Looks like we might get rained on though.

Lynn...I feel your pain with the knee. Have had knee problems of my own in the past. Hope yours gets to feeling better soon!

 

[Scott H]

Denise, Very good thoughts... Thanks

Good Afternoon everyone, sorry to be MIA for awhile.

Did anyone see the TODAY show this morning with the kid buried in the sand?

Yes that is my town, over 100 Police Fire and EMS worked to get this kid out, Alive! All the EMS and Fireman are volunteers.

We made it through Bill now we're working on Dan......

This must count at some XT training.
