That says it all.

Mk is a mad house. Never seen it like this. Since I am a goddess though we dud everything before 1 and didn't wait. Now just waiting for sun to come put so we can hit the pool.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Enjoy the pool, I hope you have lots of sun E!

I'm sick. Blah. My breathing issues got bad yesterday, started to be painful and now I'm coughing and feel really low energy. This sucks, Rey just got home for the weekend and my bday is tomorrow. I took Dallas (son) to workout and had to just sit there.

Happy birthday karen, feel better soon.

Hi Everyone!

Hmm, for your 18 miles, how about one of Mr Sheen's quotes? You're a b$tching rock star from Mars! You win every day! You have magic and poetry at your fingertips!

One of his milder quotes!
He just can't stop winning can he!

Karen - Happy birthday for tomorrow, hope you feel better soon

E - So jealous! I wish I was heading to the pool (instead of sitting here in my dressing gown and pjs watching Criminal Minds - it is 9pm though! )

Jo - Good tax wishes coming your way

Everyone - Hi!

Hope you are all having a great day

Remember when I forgot the bottle opener for the post race parking lot beer and Nancy opened our beer on the car door?

And for the record it was freaking COLD in the room at OKW. and in Liz's car where the snowflake had to be on full blast at all times!!

Liz- your pics on FB have inspired me to do a digital scrapbook type photobook. You got some great pics.

I will do a trip report this weekend. I will probably type it up in word and paste here.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Car door bottle opener, Nancy you should maket that,
Make a Youtube how to video and charge for advertising.
By the way, how is the costumes coming.
magic dust for you..

Taxes are done, did not get as much as I wanted. but enough to get granite counters

God willing next years tax return will be for the family trip to WDW, fall 2012
(this is me crossing my fingers)

Any weekend plans. We are just hanging out, maybe an o so romantic dinner at hooters with the kids and another couple tomorrow.

Sad News
I just found out that my next half pace requirement is 13 mins.
I just emailed them to see if I can get a refund.
I did not know their pace before I registered.

I don't even know how I can find a half with my pace

 

[Ronda93]

Bummer Jo. Ask about the refund, but I wouldn't hold out hope. I've never seen a race refund entry fees. Apply to next year sometimes... Let's look at this though. The times you found for last year were, what 3:13? That's a 14:33 pace. It's not in their interest to be jerks to the participants. Don't give up the ship just yet. Do you know anyone who has run this race before? When you call, ask how aggressively they sweep.

I'm jealous of all this bonding. AP option is looking stronger and stronger.

I did my 18 mile run this morning. Got out around 6:40 and cursed the cold. Got the pace I wanted and am now relaxing with a dog on my lap.

On the dog topic, we are fostering a dog from the shelter where we volunteer, Kaylie. She's a cocker spaniel and was in a breeding/hoarding setting. I have no firm number on how many were taken, but ours is not the only shelter to have an influx of cockers in the last two weeks and we got 9. She was petrified. We brought her home last Friday (2/25). She seems housebroken. She had just been spayed so we had to wait until yesterday to get her groomed and clipped. She looks SO much better. She likes Stretch, our dachshund, and we had another dog over for play time last night. She's is really coming out of her shell over the last day.

Okay, I'm starting to cramp. Gotta get up and moving.

New topic. I'm struggling with my phone during recent runs. I switched to an iPhone recently and am being really cautious about moisture. That means its in my SPIBelt, in its case, wrapped in a plastic bag. Luckily all I want to do now is listen to podcasts. During a race I'll want to send progress texts to my adoring fans. So... How do you carry your phone? Do you use it during a race? Any armband success stories?

One last thing

Erika, are the crowds still crazy? Is getting to the park early working? I feel as though you are previewing our trip in two weeks.

I carry mine in my hand. I have tried spi belts and arm bands and not much luck in using a touch screen through the plastic. When I am doing a training run it's fine in the spi belt but for races I just hold it. It also helps make sure I am keeping my hands up (less swelling!).

Btw, awesome on the foster dog!! Love it.

And, AP and come join in the fun! We are totally nuts but it's SUCH a blast!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Ronda, great job on the run.

For the half, I sent them a message on facebook and asked the pace time. They said 13 mins. I don't want to be the last to finish, I know if I have one more year of training and 25 less lb's I can go the race next year, if they wont refund I will try to get them to give me an in for next year.

For your phone as you can see in my pics I use fuel belt. I added a 2 pockets one to carry phone and one to carry my camera for the princess, I know I looked like a fool but I could not run and carry anything in my hand.

Hugs to the dog, I can't belive people treat animals badly.

Off to do laundry and out to dinner, hot wings and beer.

Oh, I "tried" to ellipitcal today, I did 15 mins and had to stop. I was beat.
I need to get back in gear and fast.

 

[poppinspal]

I have a portion of my TR that I have typed up and meant to post. I'll get to it as soon as I'm back at my computer. (Rather than my phone.)

I've had a relaxing weekend. I'm starting to think my pain is my ankle and not my shin as I now have pain in my shin and ankle and at times my foot, all depending on how my foot is positioned. And I had to take off my snow boots because it was painful to have them laced up. Probably will call the doctors on Monday.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Omg. Score. Bartender (named Kat!) ran the Princess! Free booze!

Ronda...getting busier each day! Boo!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

5K done for today, I was so stiff the whole run
Gotta start back up somewhere!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Omg. The new ones didn't want to go to World Showcase!

We have officially ditched them.
