Happy Friday everyone! Got in a good half hour workout at the gym yesterday. My PT pushed up the intensity after I told him about eating the B&C Kitchen Sink ... after eating hamburger and fries. I prefer the harder workouts anyway so I wasn't really complaining too much.

Anyone have exciting plans for the weekend?

Connie - I vote yes to all three of your questions. As for the sleep, I think Sunday night/Monday morning really throws me off. No matter how early I get up on Sunday, I can never go to sleep that night. I usually get about 5 hours then and then the rest of the week is kind of downhill from there.

Margie - Thanks for the sleep pixie dust! Got 7 hours last night Glad to hear the BP is doing better! I'm going for my physical next week so I'll have to remember to ask my doctor to explain the BP numbers to me.

Dave - Enjoy the walk indoors!

Hope - Welcome back! What kind of surgery are you having?

Jack -

Have a great day and weekend everyone!

My ureter, instead of going from my kidney down to my bladder, went between the artery/vein combo for my lower bits and pieces. When I had my kidney stone, I wound up with scar tissue in there, making the tube smaller and urine would back up causing pain. So they went in with the and rerouted my plumbing and put a stint in. So, I'm off of work to recover until Feb and light duty for awhile.

So, I'm making the best of it and bought my wedding gown and dreaming about my future wdw wedding. All that while doing high impact quilting (handwork on the couch) and movie watching (two in a row without a nap!). Nurse Houdini approves of these activities.

Hi TEAM!

Jack- Good Afternoon...it is nice to get back to a regular routine.

Gosh, we have not had any new snow since we came back from WDW-

No walking or gym for me until I see some improvement in this cold/sinus stuff.
I don't cough much during the day, but do hack most of the night. Must have something to do with lying down? I finally had to start taking Tylenol Sinus-everything hurts & aches. Plus now I am trying the Neti Pot NasaFlo hoping to ward off another serious sinus infection.

My ankle is still a problem and the doctor gave me a list of several strengthening excerise I should do daily. Well, duh - it still hurts to much to do very many of them.

Vicky- you most likely do not have to be concerned about BP! One of my biggest problems was the medication I was on slowed my heart rate down seriously - and it did Not keep my BP in a safe range. She actually said she did not know how I kept walking.

GirTheGecko-

Margie I cough more at night also. I bought some Robitussin Max to try tonight.

I did 4 good miles at the mall. I did a brisk lap to warm up then a good pace for the rest, roughly 13 min per mile.

It was too cold and rainy this morning to run. So I just went to the gym and worked on the treadmill. 25 minutes at 3.8mph. Going to do W1D3 romorrow.

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Hi everyone,

Gorgeous weather once again.

7 miles in just under 63 minutes (a little slow, but I'm still trying not to push recovery too much).

Does laundry count as cross training?

Best,
Jennifer

Morning Kids, not sure what teh day will bring. COld and wind is forcast, oh well.

Good to hear folks are on the road to recovery, been very busy at work. Have been able to get some morning workouts in.

SanDiego next week.

Hi Guys!

Sorry I was out of pocket, yesterday. Had to make a trip to the big city... that would be Amarillo...not so big by y'alls standards!

I posted our/MY ideas about the team threads. I hope you all agree!

Not much going on. Glad to hear everything is going better for all.

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Connie, I definitely understand about big city being relative. Around hear Jackson or Memphis is as big as NYC.

I have to once again brag about the ideal weather. Why couldn't it have been like this during marathon weekend.

5 miles in just under 45 minutes (still getting the speed back post-race) and 15 minute ab series.

Best,
Jennifer

 

[Steffwalks]

Hi again!

Margie seems to be getting worse with her cold. I am thinking it's more than cold!

I got some new orthotics yesterday. Gonna give those a try for awhile.

Jennifer - Yes, big is relative. Amarillo is about 100,000 people and I don't really want any bigger. Although, I have to admit to going to Dallas from time-to-time just to see what a big city looks like. Always amazes me though... two of the biggest cities in Texas, Dallas and Fort Worth, and they built them right on top of each other!!! Sounds like your recovery is amazing!!!

Someone mentioned in a different thread about race amnesia! Is there such a thing???

See ya!

good Afternoon Team!

Hi Guys,

Debra has made an assignment. Let's follow through.

1. We are keeping the team together. right?
2. We aren't necessarily interested in a collection of times and miles. right?
3. We are open to any and all team members. Right?

I had made a suggestion that captains post interesting questions and comments on the general board for broad input. I had also suggested that the ice cream socials were fun, but hard to find and read and would be better in their own thread.


Anyone else? Anyone differ from the above? Anyone have better ideas?

Yes, I agree with everything you said!!!

Sue - yes I am still working, that is why I can seem to make it on the computer only once a week!!!

Welcome to Shannan and GirTheGecko!!!

Margie - Yes, I could have handled the cold at WDW better if I had my winter running clothes with me! I was really wishing for my fleece lined tights and shirt!

Dave - It was great to see you, if only for a minute at the water stop!

Oh - you wanted goals -
I plan to lose both the 10 pounds I put on since starting to work (and Chrismas indulging), as well as the extra 10 pounds I have been carrying around for several years.
I am hoping the knee will be healed by the end of the year - I was told to give it a year - and that walking will be easier and I can get back to my 15 m/m race pace.

We are planning to do the Space Coast race next year in place of the normal October races at WDW. We are still up in the air about the Jan races. So we will also be trying some new races - maybe some in Denver or Ft. Collins.

We also just got a spinning bike for our basement work out room, I think it will help me strengthen the knee, that is often too sore for weights or even the treadmill.

Sorry I do not get here very often any more, but I do catch up each time I come here.

Have a great day team!

Connie, I missed your comment about race amnesia - if that is anything like not remembering much about what happened during the race, I get that a lot. I could never tell you what the route of a race was, I guess I am not paying much attention to where I am going, just following the person ahead of me.

 

[wdw4us]

Mark and I did a small workout. We had many errands to run so we kept it short. It's one thing to have an intense workout and then go to bed in a couple of hours but when we have a full day ahead we need to build up to that . Last year we were at that point but not now and I miss that feeling and hunger for the strength.

Felt kinda lazy after last week 56 hours in 4 days, no wonder I was tired.

Wind has me awake, 27MPH and temp is 24. Coffee is on and will be making a mango compote to go on either pancakes or waffles, waffles sound better. A little wood working after breakfast, some indoor exercise will also be in order.

 

[windwalker]

I had a weird night. I woke at 2am with a thought in my head about starting a company to make protective clothing for warriors, athletes and celeberties in general. Casual clothes like shorts and Hawaiian shirts lined with Kevlar. I woke several times thinking about it. Like for army guys to wear when they are off duty. No idea where that thought came from.

I'm off to the mall to walk since it's screaming rain outside. Actually the screaming part was a neighbor in the apt complex and his wife having a fight.

For me big city is Nashville.

Good Morning, TEAM!

Heavy Rains- warmer 43° this morning. It looks like we might lose some of the dirty snow we have had piled up around here. Big Bonus if it melts away the ice humps at each end of the driveway.

Connie- Hope the orthotics work out!

Hope everyone is having a great day!
