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

Ok so YES, I was supposed to do 10 today. But the roads are in such poor condition that it would have meant an injury FOR SURE. So no long run for me this week and no time to make it up before the Half. But I should still be able to get in a 10 and an 11.5.
 
Hi Everyone!

Thanks for letting me rant! Yes, I do think its jealousy/envy/sadness that they tried for a baby before their wedding and BIL had one in the circumstances they did, but still - hes just a baby!

Liz - Hes a little boy - Jacob - and as I am a proud aunt to him, here is a face to the name:

I don't care about the circumstances of his birth, the background, the relationship - how can you NOT love that face! :lovestruc
 
Kelly- He is adorable! What a cute little baby face. I will never understand how people can hold things against children, especially considering they have no control of the situation.


Took my snowshoes out today for the first time and one broke on the way back. My bf will be fixing it up so we can try again tomorrow.
 
Nancy - in solidarity I am up 4 pounds today.

Oh no Ronda! What's up with that?

Ah, it's just a number. It's not the measure of your soul.

Love that Liz. Now, to etch it into my memory

no, no, kinda like a race shirt from a DNF... gotta earn it.

I get that Ronda, but this isn't a race specific shirt, it's a "Team Goddess" shirt. No mention of the actual race we are christening it at...take a look at it. You might decide you like it!

4.5 miles and a FANTASTIC run. Just one of those "I feel great!" runs.


Bite me. ;)

I went to the gym this morning (as usual...) and my mojo stayed home in my nice warm bed. :headache:

He's so precious Kelly!! :lovestruc
 

I want a shirt!!!! Kat, can you let me know how to pay you? (quick-like b/c I've had some wine and I'm ignoring the fact that I happen to be a little purchase-happy when I've had wine) :laughing:

OMG, you ladies MUST have been sending me good vibes!!!!!! We got a bigger return than we have EVER had and we can finally get caught up and pay off all the horrible crap from last year! I will even have $1000 to put towards the Disney trip!!!! :woohoo:

Clearly you all understand that the wine was to celebrate...remind me of this in the morning when I'm cursing the scale! :rolleyes:
 
Nancy, my mojo is gone to day too.
Lazy eat like crap kinda day

Kelly, he is so cute, A face you just want to give kisses to all day!

Karen, Congrats on the return.

I am still waiting on Kelly (Hi Kelly! :laughing:), so I won't be ordering until Monday. PM me your email addy and I will add you to the email list. :)

Ronda, feel free to do the same (or message it to me on FB) if you are curious about the shirt. No pressure. :goodvibes
 
just looked up my 2010 results. remembering that final "its not a hill, it's an on-ramp!" :rotfl2: At least I've got legs. :lovestruc Thank you Lisa, you really helped me thru that.

sigh. good times :goodvibes
 
OMG, we owed Lisa A LOT for getting us up that non-hill! :love: At mile freaking 11!
 
Wasn't Hat where the army dudes were or am I getting that confused with the ramp where Tinkerbell was? It has almost been a year and I can still remember it. :goodvibes

Jo - work is slowly getting better. Emphasis on slowly. I did put in for three days off the week of the 14th though. I am taking a spa day and then heading to Boston to send some time with my friend Tom and his wife. Can't wait! I am spending a day at the MFA wandering the galleries without a care in the world! (can you tell I am excited by this?)

Meg - hope you are having a great time in VT. When you get a chance and come up for air I have to know if the bf has a name or an initial or something we can call him. I am having flashbacks to this intern I had who was engaged and he always referred to her as my fiancé. It was like she wasn't entitled to an identity. The bf is fine but the curious part of me wants to know his name.

Kelly - Jacob is so cute! Adults can be stupid. Truly.

Ronda - I so don't want to get on a scale this week. It hasn't been horrible but it hasn't been great either. Oh well, each meal is an opportunity for a fresh start right?

Nancy, Kat, Liz, Karen (happy tax mojo - feel free to send that my way), Rob, Amy, EE, E, Lisa and anyone I may have missed - hi!!!!!
 
Hello!

Nancy - I've gone firm with the house - yesterday after huge drama on their side HOWEVER, I'm in real estate he!!. I gave into a ridiculously low deposit structure and the buyer is driving me CRAZY. So much so that my lawyer is advising not to buy until closing because he is leery of the nonsense.

So CRAZY that I'm not caring if something falls through. Boy, it's not easy selling on your own at times. The agent keeps the drama from you. But I've done well since her own house sat for a year. And I sold in approximately three months in a saturated resort town for ten thousand more than I paid with no agent commission.

Kelly - HOLY COW BATMAN. The stories you've been keeping from us. :rotfl2:;). That's sad. Envy is loaded pistol, eh? He is so ADORABLE. So ADORABLE.

Ronda - I almost dropped the computer tonight when I saw your running countdown. I'm slow and I'm like "why is she back at the beginning?". Oh yeah new year. And then I saw 95 miles and went :scared1:.

Nancy and Erika - the legs thing hardly works on you too - it's NOT meant for gorgeous gam girls - really. :rolleyes1 Joking - thank you.

I stupidly watched Barbara Walters special on her aortic valve replacement. Not smart of me. :sad2: Stupid actually. popcorn:: Oh well. I find it all so interesting but I got a little too much info.

I think I'm going to go watch Chelsea Lately - I'm way too wound up.

Hi to all. :goodvibes Love actually :love: (OMG, I hated that movie :rotfl2:)
 
no, no, kinda like a race shirt from a DNF... gotta earn it.

Ronda

After sobering up from last night, :rolleyes1 I had to think a bit on this as well. I feel kind of weird getting the shirt when no one really knows me yet. I decided that I'll wear my shirt to train this year. It will remind me what I'm working towards! It does feel a little strange though since I just joined you gals. I hope I'm not offending!


speaking of drinking...bad idea with the wine last night. I actually ate 2 pieces of pizza the kids had out. I can't remember the last time I had pizza, but clearly I forgot how crappy I feel when I eat it. The headache hit about 15 minutes later and now I'm all stiff this morning. You would think I could remember something like this, but apparently I don't! :rolleyes:


Kelly, the baby is beautiful! He's lucky to have you for an Aunt! :lovestruc

I'm excited you are all getting your bib numbers!!!! Can't wait to cheer you on this year (in spirit) and and hear all about it!! :cheer2:
 
Morning. Checking in from the soccer field...natch. Where else would I be on a Saturday morning??

Looking forward to great temps in the coming week! Excited to get a proper long run in where my Gu doesn't freeze in my pocket.

Today's storm is iffy for us. Either 6" of more snow or lots of rain. We are right on the line.

Bib numbers are both exciting and crazy-making. Lol. I am excited of course, but under-trained. So the bib numbers just make it so muchore REAL if that makes sense. Based on my bib # I am thinking I am in Corral A. Which would be awesome. I like having the option to start up front with the fasties (which I am so not one of) or more in the middle of the pack. But the good news is that we have Goddesses in just about every corral. So we can definitely buddy up.
 
More snow E? That sucks.

Lisa, sorry about the house drama. It was the same for us years ago when we sold our house without an agent.


I am a bit freaked out about the ramp that is not a hill but is a hill. I have not trained for hills, I don't have any by me to train on. I hope it's really not that bad is it?
 
I wanted to ask you,,,,,,
the disney shirt you get in your race packet. Does it run small?
I ordered an XXL and I am worried it may be to big.

So sucks that some kind of foods can make you feel so bad.

It runs small. I got an XL and was wishing that I had done XXL, so we can switch if it's too big. :goodvibes
