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

[lisaviolet]

Limited internet access. Going to Niagara Falls next week and I am never online on vacation (laughing - but love when all of you are!!!! - so not fair of me). And hopefully will not be POed that I am not in Florida or Virginia kissing spring. I am on a tiny tiny notebook that is set up for French keyboard. We can not find the code for the wireless for ours. So small and driving me nuts. But I accidentally just hit the zoom. Yeah for mistakes. Nancy!!!

Sad. The Japanese earthquake hit the city I lived and worked in - Sendai. SO SAD. It is so sad. There were so many buildings when I was there that would never ever survive that. Sighing. How terrifying it must have been - still be. I can not imagine.

Love to all...

Got another lovely note from the RunDisney folks stating that they had fixed my chip time! Considering the vast numbers of people who participated in this race, I am incredibly impressed with this level of personal attention.

Life here is great at the moment, just busy busy. Have only done short, light runs as I still have some twinges from the hamstring, though the knee seems to have settled back down. Now I have to develop a training plan for increasing speed. I watched the BL last night and the SLOWEST of the women runners ran at 7.5 mph for 3.5 minutes. And some are running at 10 mph. If they can do it, I can do it. There is a local 5k in July (not the same one Meg came up for last summer, as that one is not chip timed and I am running for accuracy for this one) that I have my eye on.

Nancy - who won TSM again - I forget

I had an intense nightmare the other night. I was running. Like your nutso running - not running for Reester Bunnies or fun stuff like that.

 

[lisaviolet]

Yes Yankee Reester was not extradited last year. NOPE. He got in the country AGAIN. What is wrong with our security (I have no friggin QM!!!!!)

Da#n bunny. woohoo

 

[3DisneyKids]

3.8 miles with sprint intervals done. Hamstring is fine...today it is the knee. It seems to alternate! Icing it now. It isn't painful, just aware.

Off to Riley's concert. He has a solo so I have to tape it, too.

Hi All, back from a night away with the kids,
We went to a waterpark. First time we went on a weekend and I don't know that I would do that again, most of the time we go on a week night, have the place to ourselves. But we could not get that much time off to do that, we I just took yesterday. Its was PACKED.

Lisa, have fun at the Falls.

E, Good luck to Riley today.

Fronzen thin mints, I will have to try that.

Do you need a visual? I'm happy to remind you again. For those of you who may have forgotten, I'm blue. and red is, well, not me

OOOH! That *is* scary I know how much you hate running. But. Do you know how much *I* hate running? a whole freakin' lot.

and here I thought that the U.S. was the one with border patrol issues.

But was it FUN?

Drinking. again.

 

[3DisneyKids]

ACCURACY! Anyone can pull a stupid string! It takes SKILL to actually aim and hit your targets!

 

[3DisneyKids]

His concert was great, thanks. Did an amazing job and was recognized and all of that. He was flying when it was over. Just beaming all the way home, it was fun to see.

More kid-busy stuff today, but not sports or organized activities, just kids being kids so that is good. Sleep-overs and birthday parties and friends over and all of that type of thing. They are happy little munchkins these days.

Ok, I have to admit it...my knee HURTS. Something is wrong. At first, I thought it was just fatigued or a bit strained from the race. But it has been two weeks and it still isn't right. So I will call the orthopedist tomorrow.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Nancy, E, you to crack me up with the TSM score.
Target has TSM for Wii on sales for $19.99

E, I hope your knee turns out to be nothing.

4 miles done for me today, my legs are still sore from Friday. But I had to run, I ate way to much junk.

Happy Sunday.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

I just signed up to do a 5K, This is the same 5K I did last year as my first race ever. I am so very excited to do it again a year later and I am not sick to my stomach with "will I finish" Now I am just going to have fun, and hope it does not rain.
I am going to take pick and the finish and post side by side from last year and this year.

 

[HockeyKat]

E, hope the knee turns out to be something minor! I would rest until you see the doc.

Lisa! Reester bunnies.

Completed my first week of half training. 11.4 miles total (in 3 days), most of it 1:1s, plus water aerobics and hockey for xtraining. Shin is happy and I am not too sore overall, so I am counting it as a win.

Hi Team!

Lots of great things to read here. Love that!

Odyssey of the Mind tourny yesterday for me. Saw a lot of folks that I have worked with there and felt like holding a job meeting / reunion. Today was a memorial mass for one of my cousins who passed a few years ago and then breakfast with the family (wowza on the calorie counts for a diner omlette, homefries and toast) followed by the gym (Jesse's Girl came on my car radio as I was pulling into the lot for my apt. with Jesse) core with cardio intervals afterwards and now I am chained to my desk at work crunching schedules, estimates and logistics for this major report that is due in final draft form tomorrow and then due for real on Tuesday.

Nancy - say it with me....

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....

Hopefully, life will calm down soon. I have a Warrior Dash to train for. Think they will let me be a Goddess instead of a Warrior? Jesse is going to train me and do it with me. I decided that it is going to be one of the ways I mark my 40th birthday, so it should be fun.

 

[goofyfan-12]

E - hope the knee feels better and is nothing serious. Keep us posted please.

Lisa - miss you! Have fun at the falls.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Yes, Lisa...have fun but come back to us soon! I miss you!

 

[3DisneyKids]

JO--OMG, that is so awesome that you are going to do your first 5k race again! Love that. And yes, pics are a must.

So funny...Riley's little girlfriend has been texting me all night. She just made plans to for her mom and me to take her and Riley to a Bruno Mars concert for Riley's birthday. Now THAT's a good girlfriend, eh? Love that kid.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy - say it with me....

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....

That is EXACTLY what I popped on to say. Running late, but still running. Gym, fabric store, sewing, drama club. That's my schedule.

Sorry, E - Bruno Mars ranks right up there with Justin Beiber for me But then again, I'm not a pre-teen Hope that knee feels better.

Jo - on everything right now. So, so happy for you!

Karen - better? or still sick. Seth's gf has mono. Ick. He's not feeling so hot himself, but I'm fairly certain his is just general crud.

Kat - nice job on the training!!!!

Hi to all! Running like a crazy person. Again.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Nancy, I'm *almost* better, I think I might try to run today just a little and see if it makes the cough come back more or helps! Still a little congested, but not hacking every moment like before. On Wednesday it will have been TWO WEEKS since I've run!?!?!?!

 

[Ronda93]

Kat - saw your FB post about CSI:NY. I don't watch much TV, but that's where we were tuned Friday night at DGF's mother's. I was embarrassed to watch it with her. Ashprints on the table? Really? Ewww.

Running at Sue's mom's is always an adventure. It's hills in every direction. I got my 8 in and am plotting a course for this weekend's 20. The weather looks perfect. Fingers crossed.

I leave Sunday for WDW. My brother and his kids (9 and 7) arrive 20 minutes earlier than I. With luck he can pick up the car and be ready to get me at Arrivals. I got to talk to Jake and Abigail about what they want to see and do. American Idol was added to the list. I sent the planning DVD and they have been studying it closely. Even my dad has watched it with Jake. It will be busy, busy, busy. I've never been during high crowds, but they've never been at all. Setting expectations will be key. We are ALL early risers and that's going to help. We're staying off site (Bonnet Creek) and won't get EMH.

Here's my plan...

Sunday - arrive and go to WWoS for Braves vs. Astros. It's a 1:05 start. I hope to get walk up lawn seats. Return to the hotel. Check in. Get some groceries and pick a park for the evening. Bonnet Creek has CMs on hand for ticket sales. They'll get 5 or 6 day PH and I'm STILL debating on the AP. Saturday's run drives that answer. I'm leaning towards Illuminations. I think Epcot is the easiest night escape. MK chokes you at the monorail and ferry and there's no Fantasmic Sunday night. Depending on when we arrive try to do Soarin' and Sum of All Thrills.

Monday - no AK (EMH). MK in the morning. They sound ready to ride! Hit the mountain ranges and do Swiss Family Treehouse and Tom Sawyer Island for rest. Break at the hotel then Epcot in the afternoon/evening. We'll hit what we missed the night before and work our way around World Showcase.

Tuesday - no Epcot (EMH). AK in the morning. Safari, FOtLK, EE (maybe), ITTBAB, Primeval Whirl, and the vet checkups at Rafiki's. Mid day break and then the MK. This is when I hope to see Wishes, but 10:00 is late ; )

Wednesday - DHS in the morning. Is TSM all that, really? How does it differ from BLSRS? The wait app has some scary numbers for it. If we want to hit it, is the best strategy to race for FP at rope drop? I think everyone will do ToT and RNRC. Abigail requested American Idol. Nice air conditioned time out. The afternoon is unplanned. If baseball falls through Sunday, the Braves play the Nationals this afternoon.

Thursday - no MK (EMH). Epcot in the morning. DHS at night for Fantasmic. If we DO see baseball Sunday, this day shifts to Wednesday and Thursday becomes the day to to again what we liked best.

Friday - we MIGHT get to a park for rope drop, but I depart at noon and they fly out soon after. It would be tight, but if we are the well-oiled machine I expect us to be, it could work. Maybe a spin around Downtown Disney. He must not know about the Lego store. I would have heard about it.

My nephew loves to read instructions and maps. He's going to be in heaven. He wants nothing to do with the characters. Calls them puffy heads and is worried they will pursue him. He asked permission to kick them if they "attack". I told him flail away ; ) This removes character dining and that's not a bad thing.

Tell me what you think.
