In Search of My Body - Not the One I Ate, VOL 8...It's Never Too Late To Start Again!

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy- I looked at Hal's plans but I was worried anything harder then the plan for newbies would be too much for someone who has never trained for a half marathon. And the easiest plan he has is very similar in some ways to the Marathon for Mortals plan. Any thoughts on how hard the intermediate plan is? I don't remember you saying your brother lived up this way. Should I disappoint you and tell you about how my accent really sounds.

NO! Don't tell me. Let me read it in my accent!

I use the intermediate loosely. I don't run every day, but 3-4 days a week. And thru the training for this particular event I've been doing walk/run intervals because the day of the event I want to know that walking with my peeps is going to be a-ok for my body (different muscles, etc). So, it hasn't been quite as intense as my previous training. Honestly? My body has been much happier overall!

Off to the gym it is for me. Then run around like a crazy person most of the day! Catch up with you all a bit later

So cute.

Once we were in Boston Megan and Jean says to me "where are those people from?"

I said "what?" . She said, "those people where are they from?".

"ummm Boston".

Morning Ladies!

Good Evening Everyone!

Well it's the truth Kelly. There are just some people that are born with a light that just spreads onto everyone when they're around. Someone must have told you that, yes? Well regardless that's you in a nutshell.

Ah Lisa

Thank you everyone for all your good thoughts, the interview went well I think, we had a good chat about the job and all the things involved but its just so hard to tell!
It could be up to 2 weeks before I find out if I've got it or not, so in the mean time I'll keep looking and keep my fingers crossed!

Hope everyone is having a great day

Kelly, hope it works out!!


So quiet here today.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Kelly, I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. Sending you Magic!!!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Kelly - I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Quiet day here today. Everyone must be busy! I've had an awesomely productive day. Crossed everything off my to-do list (and it was extensive!) so I'm free and clear to spend the evening watching Olympics and sewing more costumes.

I took Becca to a friends house earlier. After all the errands I had completed today, I was in one of those "I don't want to get back in the car and drive all the way over there" moods. Do you know how far "all the way over there" was? 5.3 miles. 10.6 round trip. I didn't want to DRIVE 10.6 miles. But I'm going to fly to Florida to RUN 13.1??? What in the name of God is WRONG with me

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Too Funny, You can run farther than that drive is.

ok so I weighed in up 1.6 but I knew that was going to happen
I still have 4 points left for today and I am not going to eat them.

have a good night
Oh I was in a hurry but I tried your 1/1 run walk Kat. I did 2 miles in 27 mins but I only did the 1/1 for the first mile

Hi ladies. So quick hello. I went over tonight on my calories but not crazy over. Still I'm a bit bummed but tomorrow is another day. (And tomorrow is the day I play hockey, this makes it a great day! )

I'm a little stressed about my online class. I thought today was the due date for a paper but it was really yesterday. I only figured it out when I signed on to upload the paper tonight. So I sent it right off as it was done but it'll still be marked late. I'm just getting a bit stressed about this.

I'm off to sleep, I need a new day. Oh yeah and tomorrow is pajama day at work, yay!!!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Just a quick HI for now. Be back in a bit with a proper post!

 

[3DisneyKids]

JO! That's a great time for you! Excellent! Keep it up!

I have 12 miles scheduled for tomorrow. The key word there is scheduled! Kids are home on break, so my mom will have to watch them. Plus, I am going to be really paying attention to my body. If I feel pain, I will call it a day. I have already done a 10.5 and an 11.5. So I am likely fine. But still. I'll feel more prepared if I can get one more long run under my belt.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Morning Ladies!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Hi All!

Not much to report from this corner of the world! Still crazed by my life, but that will be my normal state from now until the end of March. Now, if only sleep weren't so necessary.

being new to the group I have to ask, Why do you make costumes?

When are you going? I am headed out around 2PM so feel free to call.

 

[poppinspal]

Hi ladies! Pajama day at work today and it is great! Little kids in their pajamas are always adorable and I'm loving being in slippers at work!

Nothing more really to report other then I had my first turkey burger last night for dinner and I loved it! Tonight is hockey and I'm looking forward to a good non-running workout.

Hope you're all having a great end to the week. Tomorrow is Friday!

12 miles in 2:17. MINIMAL pain! WOO HOO! Long run done and now it is time to taper! Thank God!

I felt fine for the first 9 miles--cruised right along. A bit before mile 10, though, I hit a wall. I didn't have enough fuel. One of my GU packets fell out of my pocket, so there was nothing I could do but keep trudging along. But it didn't feel good. Got a bit of a boost at mile 11 knowing that I was almost done. But the last couple miles were definitely a bit of a struggle.

But again, it is DONE.

being new to the group I have to ask, Why do you make costumes?

Why? Because I'm crazy.

What for? The High School drama club. I got involved a few years ago (actually, this is my 4th year) when my oldest son began working on set design & construction. He graduated last spring and now my daughter is a freshman and music/drama is her life. Literally. Currently she sings a minimum of 5 days a week with various groups. So yeah. I'm stuck with it for a while.

The weather here today is simply stunning. Blue, blue sky. Temps right around 40*. Too bad it was a strength day for me. I really need an outdoor pavement session.
