Hi TEAM!

How's Aiden?

Lynn

Denise, hope the moving went well!


The Crim: The runners field was fast – the top 10 runners were from Kenya or Ethiopia all under the 5-minute mile. Not sure what draws them to the Crim.

2 135 Joan Samuelson 50001 30:10 1:00:34 6:04
Joan was one of the speakers but I got there too late to hear her.

The Crim 10 miler is major hilly rough course. The hill going up to the 5 mile mark was a huge!

Then after the 10 milers I did the Teddy Bear Trot with Little Hagen. One of the older kids ran into him, he fell skinned his knee, and cut his lip. After a hug, I carried him a few steps, he finished the race and got his medal.

Margie, That's so cool to have been in a race with that many big name runners. Joan Benoit Samuelson was at the Tufts Health Plan 10k for Women when I did it last year and I got to hear her speak.

I did an early (leaving at 5:30 am) long run. 13.5 miles in just over 2 hrs. My next race (a 14.2 miler) is on labor day and it starts at 5 am so I'm trying to get everything figured out. I'm glad I've started trying because I had some stomach distress this morning.

Best,
Jennifer

Good morning guys.

Scott 10:08 pace, your rolling my friend.

Lynn, how ya feeling princess.

Baby is still in hosp, he can't come home till he catches on to feeding. They still have to give him most nurishment through nose tube. He did suck a passy yesterday and that's a good sign.

I'm resting today since I have work and then mowing tonight.

Tomorrow I'll do a good early LSD.

Connie and crew can't wait to see y'all in January.

quick drive by since I am behind in all my threads.

Did 15K last night, saw Vicky and Nathan. It was a fun event but I didn't like the portion on gravel...

Hope everyone has a great day

 

[Steffwalks]

Hey Team!

I had to take a rest week. The ankle hurt most of the week. We took the grandkids to the lake yesterday. My DGD (11) is a fish! She and I tread water in about 15 foot for nearly an hour. I guess that was some pretty good training!

Lynn -Speedy recovery!!!

Jennifer - Happy days! Have fun and make an impact!!!

Eva - Great news on the job! Can't wait to hear what we are having this time!

Denise - How did the move go? Where is that baby???

Everyone, make it a great week!

 

[funwalker]

Good Morning:

Well the baby is still waiting to arrive and in the long run, it's a good thing. We started moving Friday afternoon and worked until Sunday at 2pm. She has a 6 room apt on the 3thd floor and bought a condo that has a garage under so it's a flight up to the main floor and another flight up for the bedrooms. Many stairs to climb at both places. Because of my neck I carry nothing too heavy but the stairs sure do play with the front of my thighs, just above my knees. YIKES

Miranda has been a trooper through it all. Knowing it has to be done but I pray that we get it done asap so she can have some time to rest before labor starts. It's been very hot here in NH. I guess the humidity will break soon but this weekend has been a real test for all of us.

I do see updates on my iphone when we take a break but actually sitting at the computer to post is rare. I will be sure to either post or text Grandpanda Dave should the princess arrive.

Well coffee, grocery shopping and then quality moving time awaits.

Good morning all.

PD out there for everyone!!!!!

"official training starts today. Got my weights in this morning, will get in a easy walk at lunch today, but not sure about tonight, will depend when I get home from my sisters, I have a niece and her hubby coming in from England tonight.

Hope you all have a awesome day!!!

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning Team!

Well, Margie is right! Our official training start officially tomorrow! It didn't start today because it is officially a rest day on the training schedule!

Jon is actually working this week. That's nice for a change!

Guess I will go do some housecleaning X-training!

See ya! - Connie

Lynn - How ya doing?

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Connie - take care of the ankle!

Sounds like all had a good weekend!

The knee has been up and down, it really hurt after physical therapy, and I learned that the knee was numbed in surgery, and it took 24 - 48 hours for that to wear off - that is why the knee did not hurt at all until after PT! I had one bad day - on a different pain killer for the whole day and night - got no sleep Friday night - but now it does not hurt too much during the day, taking stronger pain killers at night, and just a couple during the day. I have been good about doing the exercises given to me by the PT. I go back again tomorrow for more torture. We are currently working on range of motion, and mild strength exercises. The strength exercises are pretty easy, but the range of motion ones really hurt. He said no heavy walking for at least 4 weeks - so the Disneyland 1/2 is out, he is reserving judgement on the 5K until later. The PT told me the meniscus was torn half way around the knee - so that has all been cut out. The MRI did not show a tear at all, it was just assumed that there would be a tear under the bone spur.

Denise - hope the moving goes well!

Good luck to all the "official start of Goofy training" folks!

Have a great day all!

Hi guys.

For Miranda and her mom. Doesn't it always seem that there is more to do than time and money at times like this?

Kim your guests will have a super time your a great host. Erica and I felt like family.

I'm a whipped pup after a 5 mile training walk and then doing the mowing.

Have an awesome day y'all.

Dave

Hi everyone,

Today's my cross training day. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, about 15 minutes of strength training, and an hour long step class.

And I found out I may be changing grade levels.

Best,
Jennifer

 

[wdw4us]

Less stressed today. I had them organize everything left in the apt so the movers could just take it without much supervision as they may not have too much come Thursday. Nick and I will be on cable and mover duty should they be in labor. He's been a great brother for her.

I go back to work today - to rest and recover! I think one of the most important jobs I had this weekend is calming everyone down. It's amazing what a low calm voice does to people. Next time someone is screaming at you about a situation, try remaining calm and lower you voice, it forces them to lower theirs.

I did get some workout time with the moving but no miles - I didn't wear my pedometer - shucks!

OK, time for warpaint and dress for the day.

Good morning Team!

Denise - Wow, busy weekend. Hope you get plenty of rest before that baby arrives! When my first grandchild was born, I was working. My DD left her door unlocked after her DH went to work, so before reporting to work myself, I would slip in the house, feed him and change his diaper and put him back to sleep! My DD got some much needed rest and the baby and I had lots of time together. He still thinks his Nanny makes the sunshine!

Panda - Busy day. Ever wear a pedomiter when you mow. I did once, the result was interesting.

Jennifer - Changing grade levels, already? Wow, you are a woman in demand!

Lynn - Are you icing? -- I had a block in my shoulder. When it wore off..... I feel your pain...sort of! Good luck. PT is horrible, but working at it makes it .......heal faster!

I got in my first training walk. It felt sluggish, but i expected that. I even did the strength training as asked. As Mary Poppins says, "A job well started is already half done!"

See ya! Connie

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Connie - yes, I am icing, the first 2 days was 20 min on 40 min off my whole waking day, after the first PT appt, his instructions were 5 times a day for 30 min, so I do it first thing in the morning, after each of my 3 exercises sessions, and before going to bed. I am only taking pain killers - at half dose - during the night and first thing in the morning, I will probably need them again after my therapy session today. He did say I could ride a bike after he checked me out on a stationary one - hopefully today.

Jennifer - so what grade are you switching to?

Denise - it sounds like you do need to go to work to relax!

Have a great day all!

 

[Scott H]

Misty Morning Run and then a dog walk, the dogs saw a fox and we were off to the races, Malamutes were on 25' leashes but they were puling for all they were worth... with me in tow. LOl

 

[windwalker]

That wasn't a fox that was Margie scampering along on her walk.

Hi y'all.

Baby is doing good, still needs to eat regularly before he can come home.

I took a rest day. Like Scott said on his Facebook page, motivation was low.

Dave

 

[wellesleyprincess]

7 miles in 57 minutes on the treadmill.

Lynn and Connie, I'm most likely moving up to 6th grade. It's my third move since I've been hired.

Best,
Jennifer
