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

[cantwaitvaca09]

Hi all checking in from phone.
Nancy ur voice back?
E ur mojo back?
karen i could never be silent for a day.

happy tuesday all

Karen, to me that isn't slow. Woo on the no talking thing, I'm with Jo, no way I could do that.

Nancy, ick on the voice.

I am tired and sore from hockey last night - 9:45-10:45PM practices that are 30 min from home sort of bite.

However, the TM calls at lunch, I think. My friend wants me to run with her outside tonight but we are slightly below my cold threshold... low 40s for a high, high 20s for a low.

 

[Ronda93]

Really, really did not want to run this morning. Alarm goes off at 5, it's 6 degrees outside, the bed is warm, I need to run 5 miles. Complicated calculus. Yeah, treadmill again. I was slower than last Tuesday. I'm blaming my listening choices. Instead of getting pumped by driving rock and dance music I listened to the dulcet voices of NPR.

There is a warming trend on the horizon.... highs in the 40s lows in the 20s. Even Kat would get out in that! Looking forward to it.

Meg - welcome back.
E - get your mojo on!
Jo - I don't think I could do the silence thing, but I like the dynamic shift with the kids and Rey. Interesting to watch, I'm sure.

Nope. It has to be at least 50 and sunny.

I might break that rule if I had a friend to go with, but 40-45 is the absolute lowest, and if it's raining, up that to about 65.

Hi Gang!

Can't keep up here lately - you all move too fast for me!

Karen - your slow is my fast. I have never run that fast. I mostly walk, but girl, that is a good pace!

Kat - are you doing the Galloway shuffle, or using your natural stride? Curious.

Kelly - he's gorgeous! Absolutely adorable. I'd like to say I'm stunned by their reactions, but the bad behavior of people is awful but not surprising. How's running, my goal weight friend?

So shin splints...I get them bad during the first two miles. Especially my left leg. Want to throw me all your suggestions? This is new, I don't remember them hurting before!

 

[HockeyKat]

I don't do the Galloway shuffle, just my normal stride.

Shin splints... I am totally compression sleeve girl. Ice massage after a run, too. Take a block of ice and rub.

I don't get them nearly as badly with the new shoes and the sleeves.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Liz, I don't get shin splints, just runner's knee issues. Sorry, I'm no help! I guess it's b/c my legs are long (I'm 5' 10"), but I've been running anywhere between 12:00-12:30 and yesterday it was 12:37 AND, I read somewhere that treadmills always tell you that you are going faster than you really are, so I'm not sure??

BUT!!! BUT!! I got my Garmin 305 today!!!!! I did a photo shoot for a friend and the money I got paid for it went straight to the shoes and the garmin, I felt like it was important to get something for myself, I'm always getting the house stuff and the kids stuff, but not me. Anyway, once the ice and snow is gone, I can actually use it! Not sure when that will be b/c we're getting more freakin snow tonight too! This is insane.

Are you girls getting nervous about the race?!?!? I'm excited for you and to hear all about it.

Rhonda, good for you for getting out of the warm bed and hitting the dreadmill!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Liz, I can't help with the shins other than, I don't walk run to any set time, for example I don't do a 1/1 or 1/2 I walk to warm up then I run til I need to walk, I walk just a bit and run again. Doing it that way has help me not get shin splint any more.

Ronda, we have to get stupid cold her for the next 2 days talking -20 to -30 then +30 & +40 for the weekend. HEAT WAVE,
Kat when its above 30 we leave coats in the car and just need a thick sweatshirt.

I was tring on summer clothes tonight. YUCK
Not a good idea.

Hi everyone, I'm back from the world now. I will post some details about my trip tomorrow evening, as I'm unpacking and trying to do a bunch of laundry before going to sleep tonight. Sorry for no live trip report (no fancy-smancy phone lol) and didn't end up paying the Disney price for surfing. I'll have some pictures and notes up tomorrow.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I did 2.38 in 30 minutes, kinda slow, but I'm getting there.

Karen! I think that's FABULOUS!

Instead of getting pumped by driving rock and dance music I listened to the dulcet voices of NPR.

oh my gosh Ronda. Gold star for you. Really. I don't know HOW you ran to that. Without a doubt, I need a driving beat.

AND, I read somewhere that treadmills always tell you that you are going faster than you really are, so I'm not sure??

I think that TM's are not always accurate with speed - depends on calibration I think

Are you girls getting nervous about the race?!?!? I'm excited for you and to hear all about it.

Nervous? No, not so much nervous as much as wondering why I ever thought this was a good idea

I was tring on summer clothes tonight. YUCK
Not a good idea.

oh boy. I'm dreading that.

Hi everyone, I'm back from the world now.

Welcome back Rob! Can't wait to hear about your trip!


Paula! miss you! How was family dinner?

Lisa - thinking about you.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

We have a new baby on this frigid night. No name yet - I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Welcome back Rob

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi team -

Welcome back Rob and Meg. Hope your trips were good ones. Can't wait to hear all about them.

Nancy - things are going better this week. Still not great but there is a flicker of light at the far end of the tunnel so that is promising. Weigh in this week was good. It was a loss so that is progress.

Lisa - thinking of you. Hope all is well.

To team goddess: I know you are all getting nervous, excited, etc since the race is coming up fast. Just know that you are ready for this. You have done the training and have mentally committed to this so you will succeed. Don't let the voices that take over during the taper period get in your head. Run your race. Forget what the others are doing and focus on you. You can't fail that way. You have already won - you showed up.

Welcome back Rob

I would bet it's a goat.

Welcome back Rob!


Thanks Paula.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

HI Paula, YAY on the loss!!!
Thank you for what you said!. I needed to hear that.

Happy Wednesday All

 

[poppinspal]

Morning ladies. Been a crazy week but tonight I'm going to take for myself and actually get some stuff done. Including finally catching up here. I hope you're all having a great week.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Just confirmed....we are no longer at SSR. Now at OKW. We can use race transportation.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Welcome back, Rob! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Great job on the loss, Paula! And great words of encouragement!

Nancy--a new baby! I'm still ticked that we don't get to help name them! (Jo--GOATS...we talking about baby goats! )

 

[3DisneyKids]

Went to noon chapel service for Lisa. Hoping she will check in as soon as possible. Then hit my 4-miler, which felt great. Now off to be a Mom Taxi.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Congrats on your loss this week Paula!

Ok longtime runners...does it ever stop hurting? I'm just frustrated today. Got on the treadmill next to two REAL runners (y'know, like you girls!) and who knows how long they had been running, but they never stopped! They ran and ran and ran the whole time I was on the treadmill (30 minutes) and ran FAST. I know I shouldn't compare, but I feel like I'm not really improving much? I only walked for about 3 minutes out of the whole 30, and I still had almost the same pace as the other day. And I was whooped by 2.4 miles. HOW am I ever going to run 13 miles? Any my freaking knees ache like mad now and I'm just pissed that my damn fat body won't do what my mind wants it to. Sigh.

I'm sorry, I'm sure you didn't realize it was pity-party-for-Karen-day!
