Happy Friday everyone! We're expecting heavy rain tomorrow so I'll have to see when I can get out for a run. I was planning to do my 10 miler but may have to just do 5 depending on the weather.

Went jeans shopping today - I now fit into a size 0 at the Gap! Woo-hoo! I know it's not really a 0 but it feels nice knowing the 0 is just a single digit now

Denise - Thanks for sharing! I'm guilty at times of the wishful thinking

Lynn - Take good care of the knee!

Jack - Wow! I'll have to Google that story... how did he end up buried in all that sand?

Have a great weekend everyone! Will check back in later!

Good morning!

How is everyone? It has been rainy here, unusual for this time of year.

Things are going great and I am off for a 3 miler this morning. Getting more and more excited about going to WDW in January, getting more and more tired of thinking about all the miles between!

Hi guys, still a blurr around here. But we may have baby home this weekend. He is eating better and up to 6 lbs. Then the real fun starts around here.

Training has been hit or miss and I gained some more darn fluff. I have to get shed of that.

Hope everyone is doing well. Denise how is your princess?

Jack sounds like quite a project, Good Job to All.

Run and Dog walk done, BBQ this afternoon, nice day here. We joined a gym today so Lynn woudl haev access to a stationary bike to help her in her knee recovery. I just hate paying for a gym when we haev a TM and bowflex here at home. Oh well I do want her stroner sooner so it si worth it and she is paying.

Have a great weekend.

Hi all,

Friday was very dramatic with the moving of classroom.

I did 7 miles in 1hr this morning outside in the nice weather.

Best,
Jennifer

Hi team! Well, it didn't rain as much as the weather forecasters predicted it would but I still ended up sleeping in. So I decided I would be better off doing the 5 miles today because of time. I ran the whole thing but it was slow starting off. I wonder why I can do races faster than I can training runs.

Just realized that I mixed up a couple of my dining reservations! I booked an Epcot restaurant on a EMH night at MK and an MK restaurant for a EMH night at Epcot. I'm trying to switch them around but reservations are hard to come by with free dining. If I can't, we'll just go with the flow!

Have a great weekend everyone! I'll check back in tomorrow!

 

[Scott H]

Vicky, there is always the monorail to get ya back and forth.

Cold Rain and wind this morn, Bummer, Oh well

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

As Scott said, we went and joined a gym, I did the family plan so that he could use it for Goofy training. Our membership is on a 6 month special, so we will see if we want to continue the membership after Feb. It will give me access to the stationary bike for the duration.

It is cool and raining here today, Scott was ready for a long run today, oh well.

Have a great day all!

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Hi all,

I did 14.5 miles in 1hr 55minutes in the rain. I'm hoping for better weather next weekend.

Best,
Jennifer

Hi Team.

I didn't sleep well on Wed. & Thurs. nights, so took a Tylenol PM before bed on Friday to insure a good night's sleep. I slept good all right! Didn't wake up till 8:00 on Saturday and was still groggy then. So, becuase there were other things that needed to be done, I didn't get my wog in until almost 3:30 and it was hot! Did a two miles in 29 minutes which is good for me.

Today is a rest day. Left church early because DH isn't feeling well.

Hope everyone here has a great weekend.

Hi TEAM!

Beautiful day, cooler, partly sunny, and NO rain!
Did my 5.25 miles today right after church today - nice to get it over with and not have to think about it.

Hope that little Aiden was able to come home!

Lynn-

Connie-

Vicky-

I wonder why I can do races faster than I can training runs.

that’s the way it is supposed to be. Training we usually get to do it alone, carry everything with us, have to deal with traffic, no potty when you need it, and no Bling! Can you imagine the damage you could do to your body if you went full out on every training run/walk! Race Day-we have the hype, excitement, nerves, people, friends, conveniences like port-a-potties, water, fuel, entertainment, the Finish Line, and the BLING!

We make our dining reservations next month - but ours were NOT Free!

 

[Scott H]

All packed for DL 1/1, well kinda except for last min stuff.

 

[Steffwalks]

Hey Everyone!

I did my 5 miles for the day. I have doubled my mileage for the last few months! You should all be so proud of me! I got in over 42 miles. I with Goofy training that number will grow and grow and grow.

Margie -- Excellent stuff on race day speed. I will be happy if I can go 16 minute miles on race day to keep up with you! See you in about 2 weeks!

Scott and Lynn- Have a great time.

Mary - Sounds like you needed some rest!

Speedy Jennifer!

Where are all the little guys? Grandpanda, is he home yet? WHERE ARE ALL THE BABIES?????

Everybody, Make the rest of the month Great!

Hi everyone! Got out and did my 10 miles this morning. It was cloudy and cool - so a great day for running. Not so great for sitting out on the patio though but I'd rather be out running I miscalculated my route slightly so I only had 9.5 miles when I got home. I ended up running around the block a couple of times to make up for it

Connie - WTG! With the miles!! I was chatting with Margie and I am in awe of everyone whose in training for Goofy or even a marathon. How's your ankle holding up?

Margie - Make sense about training! Which restaurants are you booking for January? We didn't get free dining either. We're doing it for the first time in October but I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of food!

Scott - Sorry to hear about the chilly weather! But you're going to DL!! I can't wait to hear all about it Good luck with the 1/2!

Lynn - The six month membership sounds great! It will be perfect for those days in November and December when it's too chilly to train outside. Have a great time at DL!

Mary - Take care of yourself!

Jennifer - Wow! That's the same time it took me to do my 10 miles this morning! Did it rain for your entire run? Yikes!

Dave - Were you able to bring the little one home this weekend? Got any more pictures

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Hockeychic]

Aww I wanna go to DL

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning Team,

Well, here it is the last day of August. How can that be?

Today is a rest day. I rest days! They are my very favorite. Although, today will be a big housekeeping day. I don't do very well with the house when I am training. It's a problem that I have been working on all year. Instead of being a multi-tasker, I tend to focus like a laser beam. It has advantages, but it has disadvantages........but TODAY is a REST day!!!!

Vickie - turns out, it was a combination of new shoes and achilles tendonitis. I have decided that achilles tendonitis does NOT go away. It can be improved, but I think it's a permanent condition. I have a digital therapy machine that I am using and icing and stretching. But.......

I can't wait to see Margie. We have some fun things planned and we want to figure out where we are going to use our dining options, so we are ready to make reservations first thing.

WHERE ARE THE BABIES??????

See ya! Connie

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Last day of August! I guess I'd better start adding up totals for posting!

Yes, I figured the 6 month membership to the gym would not only get me thru the knee recovery, but also the training for the half (for me) in Jan. I do not know if Scott will take advantage of it or not, but I added him to give him the chance to. With the membership, we each get 1 free personal trainer session - I will save mine until I have recovered with the knee. Our membership officially starts tomorrow. There are 2 locations, one is fairly close to home, and the other is really close to Scott's office.

Connie - keep up the stretching on the ankles - I think that Plantar Faciitis also never really goes away - I can go for months not feeling a thing, then if I neglect the stretching, I will start to feel twinges in my heel again.

I got a text from Dave or Erica yesterday saying Aiden was home - Dave may be too busy to post!

Have a great day all!
