In Search of My Body vol. 10 - taking it one paper towel at at time

[cantwaitvaca09]

Ronda, sorry for your aunt.

Kat, hoping no rain for you for your long run. You could use a run with no rain.

Hang in there Nancy, Enjoy parents weekend.

Karen, glad to hear your foot at least a little better

E, Nice to see you on the thread.

I would love to check in here more but I can't at work

I did 4 miles last night, foots ok, but hips were tight. I have to strech better.

Have a great weekend all

And... it rained. It felt pretty good though, low 70s and light rain for the last 10 miles or so.

I was going to do 12-14, and did 16.4 instead.

What a gross day in Southern Indiana! Another quick pop in for me - we are studying Oedipus today (my study group) and I had to work this morning. Fun times! I might weigh in tomorrow, but I will officially weigh in again Friday.

Back later! Have a good weekend!

 

[Ronda93]

Wow Kat. Just wow. Great mileage. My plan is a combination of marathoning for mortals and Galloway. Mostly three days a week. Sometimes 4 on the cutback weeks. I used this in the run-up to the St Louis full in April. Tops out at 20. I like running in a warm rain, too.

Today's eight was pokey, but done. Combine it with yard work and I am a tired pup tonight.

Ronda

Way to go Kat!!! How did you feel when you were done, did you feel like you could do more?
I like that Ronda said you can top out at 20 for a full, you are almost there!!!

Date night with DH was ok, as of right now I lost a ring of mine so that did not start the night off to good. Off to a 5K now.

Happy Sunday All!

Ok forgive me if there are typos, I'm on my phone b/c our internet is down. You are all getting me excited with training talk, I will be running tomorrow and Im excited about running with no pain! Warts are gone ( i think) and i just have a scab but no pain! Perfect timing since Rey and I are having our weekend trip this upcoming weekend! I am going to try and run three times this week, I need to so I can makeup for the bad eating I will be doing! Lol

Rhonda, do you have pics of the pup? This weather is perfect, yes?
Wtg on the miles Kat!

Ok, more when I have a real keyboard...

 

[HockeyKat]

Jo, no, I really didn't feel like I could do more. I had taken a few weeks off around the WDW trip and am ramping my mileage back up. Mostly my feet hurt, sort of in the way my feet used to hurt after a long day walking around somewhere before I took up longer distances.

I will likely top my mileage out at 26, sometime in December. Next is 18. I am hoping to get in a few 20 milers this fall if possible, too, just to get my feet used to the distance a bit more.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Back from Long Island! And I'm returning to my "status" from the duathlon...."Under-trained and Over-fed" <sigh> there are worse things in the world that could be happening to me, right? I'll just take it and not complain.

Kat - your mileage is amazing!

Ronda- yay for Mickey training! I'll never regret choosing Mickey as my one (and ONLY) full marathon. And a foster puppy!! That will keep you busy

Karen - the trip countdown is ON! So excited for you!

Jo - sorry 'bout the ring! I hope you find it. I lost my original wedding ring in the ocean (diamond anniversary band). Sad. Very sad.

Kat, my feel hurt so bad after the princess, once I sat down for the massage, it was so painfull to get back up

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Alexa just found my ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ronda93]

Yea Alexa! Seriously, what's the finder's fee?!

Ronda

 

[Ronda93]

Here she is!

Her name is Tatum, but we've been calling her Tater.

She doesn't want to walk on a leash. We went two blocks today. That was a BIG DEAL.

Ronda

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Yay Jo!!!!! WOOT!

Ronda, why didn't I know it was your birthday?!?!? She's adorable! WTG on the 2 blocks, I bet she'll love it before you know it!

AND, I just realized that I have been putting an H in your name this WHOLE TIME and you never said a word. I'm guessing you thought I would figure it out eventually!

 

[adsrtw]

Jo - I'm thrilled that you found your ring.

Ronda - she is precious! I hate puppy mills and can think of so many sadistic punishments for the operators of them.

 

[Ronda93]

Karen, don't sweat the name. I gave up the battle a long time ago. Once people get it right, it sticks though.

We expect to have her a few more weeks and hope to get a little farther every night.

Ronda

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Ronda, I also did not know it was your birthday, Happy Birthday!


Finders Fee was a trip to the ice cream shop but it was closed. I still owe her.

 

[adsrtw]

I think that's a great finders fee! Make sure to tell us what she gets so we can live vicariously.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

went to the ice cream shop after school they both got vanilla, I tried to tell them they should get something a little better at the ice cream shop that mom has vanilla at home, but thats what they got.

I am so so sad, I am back to being benched, my its my left leg,
so for 4 weeks it was a tear in my right foot/ ankle ( I do remember rolling my ankle on a run over a branch) That was better about 2 1/2 weeks ago, So I went out for my first run on Sept 13 3.5 mile, felt good, left hip/ quad was a little tight, ran again 3.5 on that friday, 4 that sunday, my left hip / quad was very tight, ran again that following tuesday and friday, Saturday I was limping around, it hurt to stand up. I ran a 5K sunday, in major left hip/ quad pain, now get this, I rested yesterday, hip/quad is a little better but now its my left shin What gives, at this rate I really don't think I can do that half in the begining of november, I am sad

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Oh Jo, I'm so sorry. I know that sucks, it's just not right when you want to run and can't! I hope you heal quickly.

I ran 2.5 yesterday and struggled to do it. It seems that I may be in no pain b/c the warts are gone, but my lungs and muscles had a different idea of what I could do after being down for so long! Tomorrow I run again, I'm hoping to get back up to 3 miles again so I can start training longer runs as well.

We had to cut our weekend short, we'll just be going Saturday morning, staying for 1 night and coming back Sunday night. I'm ok with that, at least we still get to go!

Me, me, me...sorry bout that.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

deep in the chaos here! 30 second recap:

Parents weekend last weekend at Hofstra - all is great.

Big E ("New Englands Great State Fair") this weekend with 11 of my 4H kids and their goats. They apparently have fried kool-aid there. bleh.

Apple season continues to make work insane.

Drama club is attemping to suck the life out of me again, and my kid can't even be in the play this fall due to her Sound of Music performances.

I'm over-weight and under-trained but working on that.

AND, as usual...running late for work!

Ronda - cute puppy!

Jo - woot! on the ring!

Karen - enjoy your time away
