Morning All

Having issues at work today. UGG

[cathie1327]

It is so QUIET around here lately......

It's that time of the month for me... UGH. You can tell because things that are normally way too sweet for me are soooo good right now, like that donut this morning The thing that stinks about that though is that we are having our get away this weekend and going hiking on Saturday....oy. Hiking up a waterfall and cramps DON'T MIX!!! lol

I hope everyone is having a really really great day!

I only knew about it because my friend had sent it to me. She is coming here in Nov to do a half with me (either OBX or City of Oaks), and I wanted an interim goal to keep me motivated, so it worked out!

I purchased the airfare last night ($212 RT, SW) so I am now 100% committed.

Just checked it. Not valid for July and August from RDU (Raleigh) to Midway.

Thanks, though!

Chicago RnR sounds like fun. I'm going to try to start up training for the Princess this weekend. Since I don't want to upset my back, I'm probably going to walk most of it for a few sessions.

EE, do you have a training plan? I now know I can not run the whole princess and I don't think I can run walk the way Kat does either.

 

[HockeyKat]

Sorry Kat



EE, do you have a training plan? I now know I can not run the whole princess and I don't think I can run walk the way Kat does either.

Why don't you think you can run/walk? If you are running straight through right now, you might want to start with a 4/1 or 5/1 interval? Where you run 4 min, walk 1.

I live for my walk breaks! I have moved to a run 2 walk 1 in order to stay with the 12 min pace group. 5K time is now at 36:27 (tonight anyhow, which is best yet. 3 miles was 35:28).

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I live for my walk breaks!

ME TOO!

5K time is now at 36:27 (tonight anyhow, which is best yet. 3 miles was 35:28).

Awesome on the time improvement Kat! You are going to totally own the RnR 1/2!


So today I had a bit of an injury. My hand got smashed between a dresser and a falling bookshelf. I ended up with an x-ray. I don't *think* it's broken, but it's very swollen, bruised and sure hurts like a mother!

I haven't written my food down today - I did a "mental journal" so it's time to face the music here and put it all down on paper. I'm afraid I haven't been too "on" as of late. But, my life will be settling back down into a normal level of crazy now, so there is absolutely no excuse for not journalling from here on out.

Kelly & Lisa - still watching the World Cup? It's on here frequently. I'm not really paying any attention, but Stephen and the boys are.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hey team!

Not much going on here. Gained .2 pounds this week - meh. On to the next week right?

Jo - stop telling yourself you can't. You can! You have 8 months to train and it is doable. Go read Marathoning for Mortals right now. Awesome book that will prove to you that you can do this.

Kat - awesome time girl! I think we have created a monster here.

Nancy - ouch! That hands injury sounds painful. Take care of yourself.

Cathie - drugs will help the cramps and think fruit instead of sweets.

How is everyone else doing? It has been quiet around here. It may be time to send the search dogs out. Just sayin'

 

[HockeyKat]

Paula, I think you're right. Even worse, I have started actually liking it.

Thanks Nancy! I just want to finish the RnR under 3 hours. I won't be devastated if I don't, but that's my goal.

Sorry about your hand. Hope it's not broken and feels better soon.


And the best news of all... MY DRYER IS WORKING!! (for now at least) I took it apart last night and took the circuitry into work, and they gave it a good cleaning and tested a bunch of the connections. Brought it home, put it back together, and voila!


Food for today:
B: Coffee
L: Bagel thin (110), 3 tbsp HG salmon spread (60), salad (50), strawberries/pinapple (70)
S: 6oz yogurt (80), 1/4 cup fiber cereal (30)
S: 1 bag ff popcorn (200)
D: Banquet cheesy beef and macaroni (230), 1 serving ff pringles (70), sf boston creme pie pudding (60)

Total, 960
Water, 96 oz
Exercise, 3.6 miles (including warmup/cooldown) - 1 short run down for the week

 

[adsrtw]

Crunches - go me. Not!

Jo - training plan - I kinda do my own thing, but I am using the same format that we all used to train with for the princess last year. I just have more time, lol.

Paula - .2 lbs could simply be heat related

Kat - rock on with your 5K

Nancy - sorry about your injury.

Hi guys!

Nancy - fantastic on your losses.

Hmmm. My cousin passed away. To make a very long story short - he checked out of life a long time ago. He's the same age as me but has been an alcoholic (drugs?) since his teens. And started to avoid all of us many years ago. I've continued to ask about him over the years - where he just seemed to "disappear" from others' minds which pisses me off and brings up a lot for me. I have always wondered if my pedophile uncle - who got around - abused him as he babysat them - isn't he precious - even though it was the other side of the family. Sighing. I asked directly if it was suicide to my father but he didn't know. I want to put the effin' laughing icon here - the elephants that sit in all our rooms.

Anyway, I'm just sad. I certainly didn't have an adult relationship with him. But our family was always together as a group - you know like 30 for Christmas. . Those days. His brother was just up and stopped in three weeks ago and I asked about him - he was just frustrated with him and their relationship.

I don't know where empathy and compassion is in this world. People aren't born wanting to check out of life. Why does no one seem to understand that?

Anyway, I could talk all night. I was just over on the CB where a poor mother is in a situation where her BIL is a pedophile yet her husband thinks it's okay to live on the same land as is M and F and pedophile brother.

And on other lovely news. The G8 and G20 are here momentarily. The first in cottage country. The second smack dab in downtown where it looks like the friggin' Indy. Fences are up everywhere. Close to one billion buckaroos for security alone! I know face to face time is important but these leaders need to get a Skype tutorial. Really. People are dying -struggling and one billion dollars for security alone.

Our PM - God love him - commissioned a fake lake for those who couldn't get up to cottage country. We are the land of REAL lakes. So many. We're on a lake. Four of the five Great Lakes make our border in Ontario. Wackos.

Fertilizer is missing. Bricks are hidden like Easter eggs. Pray for us.

Oh Lord - aren't I a bundle of fun? Death, pedophiles and missing fertilizer.
So sighing.

Where the he!! is Erika?

Send them Paula. Send them.

And the best news of all... MY DRYER IS WORKING!!

Hallelujah - Praise the Lord.

THAT DRYER. THAT KAT.

Kat, let me just share that when I worked in kindergarten - I COULDN'T even put those wooden puzzles together without a struggle.

LOOK at you!

Crunches - go me. Not!

Jo - training plan - I kinda do my own thing, but I am using the same format that we all used to train with for the princess last year. I just have more time, lol.

Kat, Paula, EE,

I have the change my outlook. I do have the book, I have had that book for months. I just have not read it yet.

Kat, I think I am going to try the 4 min run /1 min walk, but for some reason I thought that was Miles not Mins. DUH! I did better on the TM then I did outside, so back to the Treadmill for me.

Thank you ladies


Nancy, So sorry about your hand, umm tell the kids and DH, now they have to do the cooking and cleaning while you recover
I hope its not broken, feel better soon
