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

[cathie1327]

Hey everyone,

Sorry for being MIA. I will go back and catch up soon. Things have been crazy busy.

Procedure yesterday went good, theytook several biopsies and removed a polyp, should have test results within 10 days to rule out Crohn's and colon cancer. I'll keep you all posted.

I hope everyone's doing really well and having a fantastic Friday!!!

Jo--I stress out before every run. Always have. Even a little 3-4 miler. I'm always like, really? What makes me think I can run 3 miles?!?! And every time...EVERY TIME...I am always shocked that I can run that distance.

I just want to give you a hug for saying this. This is totaly how I feel every run, I just did not want to admit it.


Cathie, thanks for checking in. I hope it turns out to be nothing,
Hows the trip planning going for the fall?

Nancy, You got up at 3 stayed out til 2 with no nap?
OMG, I am not sure I can do that, I for sure will need a cat nap or a Mt. Dew.

I've been having those same what-was-I-thinking, is-this-really-necessary thoughts! But then I remember the bling. And the great entertainment on the course. Do you remember the high school gospel choir right at the very end? Oh, they were FABULOUS! (although I have to admit that I could do without hearing the song "Don't Stop Believin'" during the race. I HATE that song)[/B][/COLOR]

I love that song. The Glee version starts every run/walk I do.

There was beer and hot tub time, but no Mtn Dew.

 

[Ronda93]

oooh, I'll have to look for the Glee Don't Stop... read somewhere the original is the most purchased song on iTunes. I've got it. It's part of my Victory Dance playlist that gets kicked off when I come in the front door. LOUD. DGF isn't much for window rattling volumes, but she makes an exception for this.

I just ran 3.1 miles (on the TM)! I did it and I'm stunned! I keep feeling like bursting out in tears and/or maniacal laughter! I just never thought I could do it. AND...score! The sun is out!!!!!!

worthy!

Bad headspace this morning, but great run. Go figure. I did a 5 miler on the TM and it felt pretty darn good! My hips & glutes are actually still a bit sore from earlier this week, but not painful. Just aware.


I think EVERYONE was up before Nancy.

Um, yeah....I'd say you're in a bad headspace if you are referring to yourself in the third person...


I've been having those same what-was-I-thinking, is-this-really-necessary thoughts! But then I remember the bling.

YES! Remember Saturday morning when we ran into the 5k'ers coming back and we were all instantly struck with "OMG, we could have just done the 5K! What were we thinking?!?! We could have had NO stress..." We were so stunned not to have thought of it. And THAT is when Amy piped up with, "Yeah, but did you see the bling? I won't run for sub-standard bling..." And thus a legend was born.

Has anybody warned you to watch your food when I'm around French fries. Cookies. I steal it all.

It's totally true.

I just want to give you a hug for saying this. This is totaly how I feel every run, I just did not want to admit it.

JO--never be afraid to admit that stuff here. That's what we're here for!

And YES, we got up at 3-ish, ran a Half Marathon, park toured, and then drank at Jellyrolls till nearly 2am. No naps! Beer!

There was beer and hot tub time, but no Mtn Dew.

WORD.

I just ran 3.1 miles (on the TM)! I did it and I'm stunned! I keep feeling like bursting out in tears and/or maniacal laughter! I just never thought I could do it. AND...score! The sun is out!!!!!!

WAY TO GO, KAREN! I remember the first time I did 3.1....so exciting and such an achievement! It is SUCH a big deal! I am so proud of you! So much that I am even willing to ignore Ronda's flagrant violation of using the dancing banana....

Great Job Karen
My first 3.1 was April 10th, it rained like cats and dogs and it took me 58 mins to cross!!!

Dare I ask why the banana is off limits??

 

[3DisneyKids]

Dare I ask why the banana is off limits??

Because it is a gyrating, thrusting pen-is...

And there are enough dickheads in the world that I don't want to deal with them here.

We call it the dancing banana of death. Also, E is allergic to them so they taunt her every race. It's on the back of your drinking shirt!

Oh, and Nancy steals cookies from CHILDREN. Sweet, innocent little things.

Nancy, bad head space here, too. Freaking myself out today!

Karen, way to go!!!!

Ronda, Kat, love that song. Going to check out the Glee version right now!!!

Just to clarify, I am allergic to bananas, not peenises (penii?). Though sometimes I use that excuse with Jeff.

OMG,. I LOVE IT...
I can't wait to meet you Goddesses.

Ya know, E, you may be on to something, I may have just found out I have a new allergy. Sorry Craig, (craig is my dh)

Speaking of my hubby, he has convinced me that’s its too cold to run outside tonight (+14*) and that I should wait till Sunday morning (+30*), I did want to get the run out of the way, but I don't want to do the whole run on the TM either, nor would I like to get sick again. So I am going to listen to my DH, but PLEASE don’t tell him that I have listened to him. I just told him I have to much house work and I am going to wait!

Awesome Karen!!! A 5K! So proud of you!

Procedure yesterday went good,

Glad to hear it went well Cathie. Crossing fingers for good results!

Nancy, You got up at 3 stayed out til 2 with no nap?

I kept saying "I'm soooo tired. I need to leave now"! then, the fabulous dueling pianists would play some amazingly fabulous rockin' song that we'd sing every word to! When they finished I'd start with "I'm sooooo tired....OMG I LOVE THIS SONG"

I love that song. The Glee version starts every run/walk I do.

I've been listening to Ozzy's Crazy Train quite a lot. Think that means something?

AAAHHH! Remember the banana of death that tried to attack E on the way to the start line!

Oh, and Nancy steals cookies from CHILDREN. Sweet, innocent little things.

Yep. I did that. And it was GOOD too

Nancy, bad head space here, too. Freaking myself out today!

you're going to be ok. We just need to find you the right mental game to play. It's not 13 miles. It's 5 miles 5 miles 3 miles.

Just to clarify, I am allergic to bananas, not peenises (penii?). Though sometimes I use that excuse with Jeff.

Oh Lordy. I just read that as "penne". I'll never look at pasta the same way again

I can't wait to meet you Goddesses.

Back at ya

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

2 miles on the DEATHMILL done..

I like looking at it that way Nancy 5, 5, 3!

I have never been to jellyrolls. SO SO looking forward to it.

Question, given the early wakeup that is needed on Sunday, what time do you recamend to head back to the hotel on Saturday?

I, personally, like to try to be in bed by 9:00. I know I'm not going to sleep the greatest, but I try. In all honesty, it will be more important that you get a good nights sleep on FRIDAY. So, really, even though you are at WDW, you're going to want to turn in early Friday. Trust me on this one.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Jo - it's nice you DH doesn't want you to become a popsicle!

I did 2.5 on the TM. Ugh.

Got gussied up to go to a cool fundraising party. You ladies should do this, all of you. It's called Sisterhood of the Traveling Belt. It's a super cute story and it's an amazing thing to be part of. It's all about being part of the sisterhood by doing something simple and good...and it's so easy. The belt arrived at my house yesterday and I am taking it to a friend's photography studio for a little gathering. We will all wear it and take pictures in it and write in the journal, and then we will send it to another lady who will wear the belt for a day, take a picture, and write about it. Beautiful and simple and all you do is donate $28 to blood water mission and that helps build wells in Africa. Clean drinking water for women and children and all you do is hit a button. Love it. AND you get to play dress up!

Okay, that's my PSA, here's the website if you want more info! http://permissiontoperuse.com/bloodwaterbelt/?page_id=9

I'll post pictures on FB! Have a good night, friends!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Good morning sleepy heads!!!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Good morning sleepy heads!!!

Good morning! Off to get a little food in me and then off to the gym. Whee...

Jo - I wusssd out and took it easy after the race last year. I didn't have it in me to park tour with the goddesses. I didn't necessarily sleep but the rest was nice. These gals won't steer your wrong with their advice

Talk to you all later...

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hi everyone!

Urgh, this week has been a killer - TGI Saturday!

Lisa - Hope your recovery is smooth - SO proud of you!

Everyone - Hi!

Im getting so excited reading about your race plans! As I will be approximately 10million miles away from you all, live updates would be nice

C25K - Its going great! Im really enjoying it, actually more than I thought I would. On Monday we are moving up to week 3, excited!

So, we are having a new sofa delivered today at 11am, so at 10.30am we got rid of our old sofa and chair...only to be called at 11.30am and told that delivery wouldn't be until 5pm
I can't be mad, circumstances have made it hard for the delivery to get to us any earlier (an accident meant some roads were closed - no fatalities thankfully) but now we are sat on cushions and plastic garden chairs Oh well, its 2pm now - only three hours to go

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday
