Incredibles will Bloom in May

[donac]

Dona-glad you had a nice birthday. I am undecided on the Nook or Kindle. I really like books-the smell, the feel of them. I use my library a lot, don't always buy books.

Lindsay-I posted on your journal but on your race!

I ran 4 miles today, weather was overcast and it sprinkled for the last mile. But that was the least of my worries. There is a fox that roams along the path I was running on. Another runner told me he came after her. I saw him, he came toward me, and I crossed the road. He didn't follow, but he sure was watching me pretty closely!! Then "the dance" started. I thought well my turnaround point is a convenience store, I will use their restroom. Go in, ask, kid says "we aint got one". So much for that idea. So I ran back home, perhaps a bit faster than I ordinarily would have Finished in 42:17, 10:34 avg pace. And there is a big "dip" in the middle. Going out is okay, since the incline in that direction is not too bad. Coming back, however, its killer. I managed to run up it 90% of the way. It has been one of the things I am trying to conquer.

No running again until Tuesday. Tomorrow we are having the family over for a cookout. Hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage and peppers. Potato salad, macaroni salad, deviled eggs. Brownies and chocolate chip cookies with ice cream for desert. All home made (except the ice cream). I spent all day today cooking. But I love doing it. I really enjoy cooking for a group, but I hate to cook dinner for the 3 of us each night.

Monday I get to relax!

I love books but I am terrible about returning them. I also love series and I also reread books. I does feel a little different but the convience is great. I know I never have to run out of books and can find the ones I want.

Congrats on the great run today.

I too love to cook for a crowd. I am starting to get used to cooking for only 2. I am okay if I am just making chops or burgers but am still running into problems when I make rice or pasta.

We aren't going to do much this weekend. Probably mow father in law's lawn tomorrow. Today we might see Shrek. Dh wanted to see it yesterday but I didn't want to eat popcorn the same day we went out to dinner. That will be our lunch for today. We never go to a late movie any more. Too expensive.

Have a great day everyone.

Veronica- I would be freaking out everytime I got near the area of the fox, you are brave. I know what you mean about the conquering of the hill. I have one good one right at the end of my run and most times I walk it except the one day I actually ran the whole thing. Not sure what came over me but I felt like rocky at the end. I havent ran the whole thing since but hope to do it again someday. Have a great cookout that food all sounds yummy.

Hi everyone. It's been busy, baseball, cub scouts, and work really do intefere with my dis time lately. I've been getting out 2-3 times a week to walk/run, and probably do 50-50, which really works for me. I'm going to sign up for my first 5k for june 16th, and looking forward to it. I'm also working on my eating again. I'm following ww, but not doing meetings, and want to get some weight off. I think if I lose some weight, I'll be able to run longer intervals too.

Its so hard to fit runs in when things are so busy so good job for you getting out 2-3/week. It will get easier and easier each time you do it. Good luck on the 5K race 6/16 is right around the corner. You will do great. I too am doing WW without meetings or online tools. Just me and my support group (wish boards). This has been the greatest thing Ive ever found and better yet its free! I think I saw you over at the BL challenge right?

The nook! How exciting what an awesome gift. We saw shrek last weekend and it was good although it was my least favorite. The kids enjoyed it. We skipped popcorn but then went next door after the movie to MC'D's since they had shrek toys in the happy meals. I ate a hamburger, 6 chicken nuggets, and a small fry. Should of just had the popcorn Yeah well that was old news and now Im back on track one slip up is ok every now and then right. Hope you enjoy your day.


We are going to 2 family cookouts today. I saved all my extra points for the week just in case. I am a sucker for my nana's potatoe salad but I am planning on taking only 1 small scoop. I stepped on the scale this morning and it went down so that motivates me even more to make good choices today. Hope you all enjoy this wonderful weekend and knowing that tomorrow is another day off!

Happy Memorial Day INCREDIBLES!

I have been reading your posts and enjoying all your accomplishments, just a little pressed for time with the start of the summer BL challenge this week.

I ran 4 miles today, weather was overcast and it sprinkled for the last mile. But that was the least of my worries. There is a fox that roams along the path I was running on. Another runner told me he came after her. I saw him, he came toward me, and I crossed the road. He didn't follow, but he sure was watching me pretty closely!! Then "the dance" started. I thought well my turnaround point is a convenience store, I will use their restroom. Go in, ask, kid says "we aint got one". So much for that idea.

Veronica, you may want to call your local animal control folks about that poor fox. It may have rabies or something because it shouldn't be so agressive. Be careful if you run that trail again.

Have a wonderful day INCREDIBLES. I will see you on the June thread.

I am over on the BL challenge too. I know if it wasn't for the BL challenges and the amazing people here, that I would probably weigh a hundred pounds more than I do right now. I lost my mom last june, and over the summer, I gained a bunch of weight, and it's been such an emotional year of ups and downs, and everyone here has been so helpful and given me so much support. I am really feeling ready to focus and lose this weight, and with her anniversary coming up, I'm focusing on the running, and am determined not to eat my way through the my emotions like I did last spring and summer. I've done ww many times, and know the program pretty well, and I stopped going to the meetings a while ago when I figured out I was getting more support here than I was at the meetings, and like you said, it's free. I'll be seeing you on the BL thread too.
