In Search of My Body vol.9 - I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

[goofyfan-12]

Sweet nibblets Paula! Very exciting. Do we get a pic?

Of course you will...

Paula yay for the bike!! I am getting in some quality couch time as well. Funny how Friday nights become worse than a week night when those long runs/rides loom!!

Tell me about it...

OK - food for today:

B - egg white and cheese sandwich on an english muffin
L - turkey sandwich w/ focaccia bread and small ceasar salad (catered lunch while at training session)
S - JC vitamin bar and watermelon
D - JC fish and chips
S - ice cream (a treat I know)

and lots of water!!!

Time to get back to the couch - 40 miles and one big hill on tap for tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!

I'm loving the food posts. I had a massive salad from Roly Poly - I'm not supposed to lift heavy things. Ryan had football assessment today and beat all of the kids in the 40. I don't think I've shared this, but he has been my rabbit. He will run in front of me, then piddle around until I catch him. He's not even 11 yet and is just a few inches shorter than me. What happened? ?

Kat, OMG 116, Good Luck tomorrow.

Paula, 40 miles, WOW!!! Good luck tomorrow as well.. Yay on the new bike!!!

EE, Sounds like you have a built in trainer!!!

Kelly, Glad you had a good night, Take two asprin as soon as you get up. Lots of water.

Getting ready for bed, I plan to be one with the DREADMILL tomorrow for 2 miles maybe 3 we will see how it goes.

Have a great night all!

Hey guys. Hanging out at home. Had a freak out moment early this morning. I thought I had a fever and it was just me being too hot in blankets <==half asleep.

 

[HockeyKat]

10 miles done! I did the run/walk intervals for the first 6 (1:27 I think?) and then walked the last 4, for a total of 2:30.

I actually felt great but that is exactly why I stopped. I wanted a nice slow and easy and didn't want to feel like crap and need too much recovery before next weekend. I feel good, now, although I think there is a nap in my future.

Also, umm, did I mention it was hot here? It was 83 when I got in my car at 6:05, humidity level around 75%. It was about 90 when we stopped, with a heat index just below 100. Heat index is now 112.


Paula, hope your ride went great!!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Bike ride is done! There were some nasty hills in there which totally sucked! I climbed all but one. George Thompson - I'll get you on another day. Victory will be mine.

It rained towards the end so I am off for a much needed shower and perhaps a nap.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

 

[HockeyKat]

Awesome Paula! Funny that we posted at the same time.

 

[adsrtw]

Yay on Paula's bike ride and Kat's run.

Hum, I wonder if the Amish celebrate birthdays?!?

I'm working on some trip planning. Making up a list of packing needs, reviewing counter service menus, and some rough touring plans. I can't wait!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Kat - glad the run went well! Great minds you know... Just satin

EE - take me with you!!!! Your trip us going to be a blast!

 

[adsrtw]

I would gladly take you Paula!

Ok, so I realized that I hadn't had breakfast yet, so I made my way to the grocery store salad bar and had an epiphany.

I just created an awesome lunch:
All kinds of veggies from the salad bar including red onion, green & red pepper, celery (lots cuz I love it), red cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, and califlower. I had shirataki and hummus at home. So I threw the veggies in the pan (staggered based on cooking needs) with a little apricot wine that I picked up on our mini-vaca with some garlic dash. I added 40 spice hummus by Tribe of Two Shieks and the shirataki. Yumminess. I added a few crushed almonds and cashews as a garnish. Color was bursting all over the plate. It was insanely good. Just wanted to share!

Let's just say I would be one wench of a mother. I would not care whether my child liked me. And they probably wouldn't. I believe in "no". I often say, "no - hmmm no and let me see no" to my nieces and nephews.

I say no all.the.time. Seriously. My kids get so frustrated because they'll start to ask me something and I'll cut them off with "NO. Just no". I love having the power

Nancy, hows that painting going,

Um. It's not yet. Other things going on instead. The boys leave tomorrow morning, so I'll start in earnest then.

My new bike has arrived!!!! I am going to get fitted next week and then let the transition begin.

Oh no, drunk posting!
......
Im pretty sure I can only see out of one eye so I will go to bed!

I'm loving the food posts.

Me too! Lots of yummy ideas being thrown around.

I actually felt great but that is exactly why I stopped. I wanted a nice slow and easy and didn't want to feel like crap and need too much recovery before next weekend.

Awesome. Exactly what you trained for!

George Thompson is goin' down. Make no mistake. You.will.own.him.

Hum, I wonder if the Amish celebrate birthdays?!?

Yes. I'm certain that they do!

I'm working on some trip planning. Making up a list of packing needs, reviewing counter service menus, and some rough touring plans. I can't wait!

<starts singing> on the road again....I just can't wait to be on the road again....

Awesome. Exactly what you trained for!

I don't think you are that kind of parent. I mean, umm, your eldest just CHOSE a military lifestyle.

Btw, my dad was totally like that with the NO cutoff.


Thanks!!


I just had a nice 2 hour nap and then am considering some grocery shopping...

 

[adsrtw]

The epitome of sexiness chiming in. I completely forgot about a classmates b-day party tonight, so I ran to the mall in goddess race shorts that are falling off of me and my beat up Eeyore shirt. Man I look hot. Stubble on my legs from Wednesday too.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I don't think you are that kind of parent. I mean, umm, your eldest just CHOSE a military lifestyle.

true, he did. But I am, without doubt, a parent who lives by the "because I said so" rule.

The epitome of sexiness chiming in.

 

[HockeyKat]

I went to Walmart in shorts falling off, so I was with you in spirit.

thanks. No big plans. Just a day of doing things because I wanted to, not because I felt obligated to. Drinking, natch. Out to dinner. No big deal.

bummer on the coffee- on many levels!
