Good Afternoon Team!

We are off the ship and sitting in the airport waiting for our flight!

We had a great time on the cruise - ate way too much - did a fair job on exercise - Scott did run nearly every morning, I walked several mornings, made it to the exercise room on Mon/Wed/Fri to use the bikes for 35-40 min and do some leg exercises. We both did the 5K on Castaway Cay the first time we got there, but not the second - the heat was brutal!

Dave - keep us informed on the grandchild!

Jennifer - great work Coach!

Hi to everyone else!

Have a great day all!

Hi everyone,

Went on a trip to get a new running watch at the running store this weekend and spend some time with my grandparents. My Grandpa is really excited about me coaching track because he was a miler in high school.

I did 6 miles in 50 minutes on Saturday and then 12 miles in 1 hr 42 min today.

Best,
Jennifer

Hi everyone! It's been a hot and humid weekend in Toronto. I tried to get out early but it was really hot by 9AM. I can't seem to wake up at 6AM on the weekends for some reason. Oh well. The 9 mile LR was a little bit slow. I took about 20oz of water and Gatorade with me and it was all gone by the time I got home. I felt a little dumb about too much when I first started out but was very glad by the end.

Today, I did a 4 mile pace run. I saw another runner on my route and was able to pace him for more than half of the run. Not sure if he appreciated that or not but I managed a 10:06 m/m despite the heat and humidity.

Scott/Lynn - Welcome back! I think that's awesome that you both got in your workouts while on vacation. It's something that I've never been able to do.

Dave - for DD! Keep us updated!

Jennifer - What kind of watch did you end up getting?

Margie - Glad to hear DD is on the mend! Sorry I missed your question about the GPS. DF has a Garmin 750. It comes in handy for road trips but it does take a long time to acquire a satellite signal sometimes. WTG on your 4 miler

Sue - What a multitasker! I can't imagine drinking something hot while working out but to each his own. Yes, the Midsummer Night's Run is coming up on Saturday. I don't feel ready for it. Have you run it before? Are there any hills? I can't imagine there are since it's on the waterfront.

Connie - WTG on the 2 miles! I tend to get bored running on the track too. I think that's one of the only places I'll use an iPod.

Have a great night everyone! :wave2

Good morning team,

Welcome to the World baby panda.

Did a 4 miles yesterday. Felt really good. Even though I had an encounter with a bull and a rancher and had to stop to adjust my shoe. Weird thing though, when I got home and took my shoes off, my foot instantly started hurting.

Welcome home Lynn and Scott!

Great job, Terri!

 

[bunnyfoo]

Morning team! I think I must have slept in a funny position last night because my knee was really stiff this morning. I hope to get some stretching in before I hit the gym tonight.

Dave/Erica - Congratulations! I can't wait to see the pictures of the little one

Terri - Awesome! 10 miles!

Connie - An encounter with a bull! Wow! Sounds dangerous! The worst I get in my neighbourhood are squirrels and yappy dogs.

I'll check back in later! Have a great day everyone!

 

[Hockeychic]

Sorry gang, so far behind. Was in NYC for a 4 day weekend...it was awesome. Now time for serious training to start!!

 

[funwalker]

Hi TEAM!

Congratulations, Dave & Erica - PTL Mommy & Baby are doing good. Eager to see the pictures of your precious little guy!

Connie- nice walk hope your foot is better today.

We have had some major rain storms yesterday & today-

DD is going to try to work half a day tomorrow to see how it goes-

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Well gang, it's officially unofficial now. I'm the new girls distance track coach for the high school (pending board approval in september). I'll be coaching 800m-5000m and I'm very excited.

I did 30 min XT on an elliptical and 15 minutes of Strength Training.

Best,
Jennifer

Congrats!Jennifer,

Congrats, Dave, Erica and the new baby!

Miranda is currently working on getting her little bundle of joy out. Some contractions, back pain so I'm sure within the next 23-48 hours more will be happening in NH. She's due on Friday and is suppose to close on her condo the same day. Good Grief!

Will keep you posted.

It's hot as anything here in NH and I"m not thrilled with walking in the heat. BUT I can't stand my expanding waistline either!

My best to all, busy times here so I'll sign off.

[windwalker]

Ok Denise it's Miranda's turn. We got through our's. Best wishes for her and huge hope that delivery is easy and uneventful.

Mom gets to go home tomorrow and baby in a week or so.

When our daughter was born I was in the delivery room with Erica waiting for something to happen and all of a sudden that little green light going bleep bleep across the moniter stopped and it started making a small alarm sound. I assumed the baby's heart beat had stopped and I reached out had grabbed a passing nurse and hauled her in there. The nurse said very calmly, will you chill, the baby just turned from where the sensor was taped to Erica's belly.

[Hockeychic]

Wow so much exciting news for the Hakuna Matata team!!!!

Back to training for me today after a few days off. Got a 15K race on tap for the weekend, can't wait. Vicky you won't be able to miss us...will be wearing the WISH gear...

 

[funwalker]

Good Morning TEAM,

No pictures yet of the little Panda?
Wow...we are truly being blessing with 2009 little Prince and Princess on our TEAM this year!

Welcome Home Scott & Lynn - glad you had a wonderful time!

Jack, some jobs are so dang hard!

By Thursday less humid and in the mid 70’s for a few days in Michigan.

5.5 bike miles last night and a short 3.25 walking miles this morning.
I have the Crim Saturday – I am so nervous. Training has been non-existent since Memorial day when DD got sick. The Crim is a Rough, Hot, & Hilly course. I debated a few years before I had the courage to register and get my room reserved. Sooooooo I will not just drop out.

It sounds like our Canadian WISHers are racing this weekend...Have Fun Vicky, Sue, and Hockychic!

 

[bunnyfoo]

Hi team! Just a quick post for me today - I had a fantastic workout at the gym yesterday! I worked on deadlifting and went a little more heavy. I did a couple sets with 135 lbs and told my PT that's getting pretty close to my body weight Hahaha! Maybe in a couple of weeks...

I missed my run this morning because I was soooo tired. Since the 15K is on Saturday, I'm okay with taking things a bit easier this week.

Kim - I lost my WISH stuff. I think the shirt and hat were misplaced when we did a massive cleanup in April. But the WISH gear is hard to miss! Are you going to stay for the BBQ after the race? I read on the race email last night there's going to be a beer garden and BBQ afterward.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team! I am trying to get back into a normal routine here. I did get out for short dog walk this morning, and plan a bike ride later, but probably a short one - have to work on the high altitude conditioning - you lose it so quickly when you go to sea level!

Lots of good news!

Dave and Erica - congrats on becoming grandparents! to all of you!

Denise - to Miranda!

Margie - glad to hear that your daughter is doing better!

Terri - great workouts, as usual!

Jennifer - congrats on unofficially becoming coach!

Kim, Vicki and Sue - good luck on your race!

Connie - watch out for those bulls!

Jack - don't work too hard!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Hockeychic]

Vicky, I just got the email this moring, I am sure we are staying for a few beers, wasn't sure about the BBQ will check with Mike and Kevin.

Margie: Great workout!!!!

Yaaaaa Lynn is back!!!!! Glad you had a awesome time!!
