Behind Cliff Notes version of me: No wagon. Flipped it off and cursed it out of town. That's how far off the rails I am. sad. Took 3 girls prom dress shopping today. Fun. Pizza, wine and the worst movie EVER tonight. EVER. Seriously. An hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" should be incinerated. Do not watch it. It is AWFUL. Did I mention worst movie ever?
When my husband is cranky, I call him "my liege" and it makes him laugh. I'm snarky.
You know, I have caught that flick a few times on free TV and it was cute, watching it flipping in between commercials. But I didn't sit through the whole thing. Is it the same one? With Kristin Bell?
Been a busy couple of days for me so I haven't had much time to post. On track so that is good. Off to marshal a pro/am nine race tomorrow. It should be pretty exciting as I'll be a few miles away from the finish. I'll see if I can post some pics tomorrow night.
That is very cool Paula! How was it?
Ronda - smiling - I've been checking and checking - so excited for you - can't wait to hear. Hope it all went well!
Jo - I know you weren't talking to me about the Princess but STOP THAT.

I've been here since about six/seven months from the start - meaning that I *know* everyone well - and I'll tell you I would be all over the place meeting them all.

Super crazy.

It's tough for me to be relaxed in a group at times. And I won't have wee ones at home that I'm leaving. So please stop doing that to yourself. Really.
I agree wholeheartedly on Jo not beating herself up. Disagree on you, Miss Lisa. Honestly, it was like we'd known each other for years. Which we have!
Lisa, I had a good head clearing run on Saturday, and I just felt like I needed to say that, OMG I was a wreck. Did they tell you how I sobbed and wanted to go home because my DH told me my daughter was "a little sick" Liz said to me, "what can you do about it from here" I was like Umm Nothing, so then Liz said, don't let this moment go.
Liz, that has stuck with me, and I do realize I did miss allot because of my brand of crazy.
Acknowledgement is the first step to recovery
I am so proud of you for that, and I will remain proud of you for that!!! It was HUGE!
Well, that was a bust. They closed the marathon course between the 4:45 and 5:00 pace groups. I'd been hoping for 5:30. It was nasty hot. Here's the freaky thing... my chip time this year, exactly the same as this race last year... TO THE SECOND. 2:52:11. Wild. I knew it was close, but that's something. Went back to the 2010 results and kept hitting refresh thinking something was wonky with the site.
Oh, honey, that SUCKS! The heat kills when you are running! But you gotta think they were doing it for your safety. We had people die last year on a course. No race is worth that.
Crazy about the ship time! Nancy is right, play those numbers!
Monday. The day I blow the dust off my sparkpeople acct and start tracking again.
Also the day that I take my bike out for the first ride of the season
Woo hoo!!! What kind of bike do you have again?
Feeling pretty good. I'd scheduled a massage for this morning and it felt great. We scheduled some HVAC work today so I'm in and out, working from home and indulging myself all at the same time. Not bad.
Nothing hurts.
Ronda
That is EXCELLENT and such a testament to your training. Total Goddess!
stupid tracking. Stupid calorie counting. Stupid being accountable.
Word, sister.
Bwahahaha.
Ok, answer this:
It's your 40th birthday with your BFF, you have three nights at WDW and you both love MK and Epcot (woot! DRINKS!) which would you pick and why:
Beach Club or Poly???
I've done Poly and Boardwalk with my BFF. Same loves, same type of trip. Both were excellent. But honestly, Beach. From my personal boozy experience. Unless you get upgraded to concierge, which we did at Poly. Free booze!
Ronda, smart thing to turn and do the half instead.
Chicago 2007 the heat was at 80* and climing by 8AM I think 1 or 2 people died and I know tons when to the hosptial. It was bad.
Excellent point, Jo.
ARgh!!!!!!! I have over a year and a half to decide, but I just can't figure it out! It seems that I have to choose between transportation or alcohol...and I know what usually wins in that situation!

Priorities!
Besides, you can't drink in MK.
Liz - don't forget to come up for air this week.
Ummm - hope I didn't miss anyone. So sorry if I did. Chalk it up to exhaustion. I think Jesse is trying to kill me with bear crawls, jump squats and other obstacle course fun. Whew - it is exhausting.
Bear crawls - I know someone asked about these. Basically, start in the upright part of a push up and then start crawling. For me, it is hard, but it is starting to get easier. He added backwards crawling today which I am not nearly coordinated enough for yet. Watching one 20 year old do the same thing with 110 pound dumb bells was more than a bit humbling. Of course the 20 year old was training to be a football player and was completely wiped out when he was done made me feel a bit better. I was just excited when I remembered being in fear of Jesse's obstacle courses when I first started training and never thought I would be able to do one. Now I am -

Whoo to the hoo! Making progress - gotta like that.
Have a great night everyone!
Thanks for checking on me, Paula!

I'm good. Tracking.
The training is going well. I am in the midst right now! I come home exhausted though, because I talk and teach all day. Wipes me out.. Busy nights at home this week, too...the Suzy Homemaker stuff is amusing me. I spend more time cooking and cleaning and yet my house still looks the same. Picture me with an apron and cocktail!
Nancy - I did. I am down two pounds! Guess the butt kicking workouts are a good thing...
WOO HOO!
