Kim's maintenance rollercoaster. Wanna ride along? (all are welcome)

[corinnak]

Yeah, that cottage cheese is still sitting in the fridge. Don't think I'm brave enough.

Kim, just go and eat one bite - if you don't like it, you aren't any worse off than if you just let it expire in the fridge. In fact, you'll be better off cause you can throw it out and not have to do it after it's gotten all.....old. Do it - you'll be cool!

I'm looking forward to our easy jog through Epcot. I guess these Minnie races aren't famous for their ample characters, but we'll have to get pictures at the mile markers or something - do it up right, you know? I never seem to do the photos with mile markers.

I wrote a post in response to your HC 5K but then I lost it somehow. Anyhow, what an impressive time! I bet you sub-30 before I do. Has your hip settled down again?

 

[kimwim8]

Hey all. Thank you SO much! I know I'll be feeling your cheers from home.

Scott - I definitely would love to meet up with you guys for a few minutes. Heck, you guys will probably have eaten, showered and gotten back to Epcot before I finish the 5k. What time are you guys going to the Expo on Friday?

C - you trying peer pressure to get me to try cottage cheese? OK, it's working. I'll take it to work tomorrow and give it a shot.

Oh, and my hip is good. And I'm looking forward to a long, slow run tomorrow.

Kim~didn't your parents tell you not to fall into the peer pressure trap??? JUST SAY NO!!!! You won't be a geek for saying no I promise!! Have I lied to you before??
Sorry, I did the cottege cheese thing...didn't do a thing for me....don't get what the hype is all about....
Just think....you start off small with a few ounces of cottege cheese, then next thing you know you're sneaking out to get your fix of some lowfat veggie burgers and next thing you are jonesing for tofu!! I'm initiating an intervention before it gets out of hand!!!




ok...i feel better now. If you fall to the evil vices of the curdled cheese, you have no one to blame but yourself.



aren't ya glad i'm back?!

aren't ya glad i'm back?!

You're the best!



Just wanted to post a few pics of the daddy daughter dance from tonight. My little girl is just so grown up sometimes.

...and DD winning the hula hoop contest!

Just a quick post, as we're really busy today.

DRB (dear running buddy) and I set out for a long/slow run today at lunch. I forgot my Garmin in my gym bag, so we have no idea how far we went (went on a different path), but we ran for 50 minutes and then walked about 10 minutes back to the building. It was SUPER HOT out there today! Not sure how I'm gonna handle the summer heat and running at lunch, but today it was 77 degrees and it was HARD! Maybe once I'm transitioned into summer/hot running I'll be ok. Or I may have to switch back to early morning runs again.

So much for a quick post. Have a great weekend!

Hey Kim! Look at your DD! How cute! She look so grown up in those pics!

Tell me about the heat! Whew. First we were complaining it was too cold, now it's too hot! I know it's supposed to tip 80 today and I'm goigng to try to do 3 miles this afternoon! Maybe this will help us prep for the 5K at Disney!

Hope you guys have a great weekend!
Stacie

[traceycooper]

wow Kim i LOVE the pics of DD - she is sooo cute - you can see she looks like her mom too
well done on getting the run done, wish i had the chance to see if i could stand ANY heat!!!
spring/summer appears to be quite delayed for us this year

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys. We had a super busy weekend (too much to even type ) and I didn't run. I just kept busy and got lots of stuff done. Tonight is our one night this week (I believe) without a sports practice, so I'm going to have the kids try on all of their summer clothes and see where we stand. I might even tackle the kitchen cabinets (we need to get rid of stuff bad! I don't even know what's in 1/2 of them. ).

DRB and I ran today at lunch. We decided to run a loop instead of an out & back. Not the big loop we ran on Friday, but one that we thought was smaller/shorter. Turned out to be a 50 minute run, door to door. I did wear my Garmin today and it measured 4.55 miles in 50.11 minutes. We both felt good today, and the weather was only in the low 60's, so it was a great one!

Hope you all had a nice weekend and here's to a great week ahead.

 

[corinnak]

Kim - nice work on that loopy run! Look at you and your distance getting so long. Gotta love those low 60's, but I fear we will have nothing of the kind for the Minnie. It was 72 here today and I have to admit, I was a little uncomfortable! Yup - I'm getting out the pained, sweaty smilie for you.

 

[kimwim8]

Gotta admit...that smilie scares me.

 

[corinnak]

Sorry, Kim. I know it's not polite to scare a person in her own journal. How about this one?

 

[deekaypee]

Kim: Wow, what a busy weekend. No wonder you run at lunch--you have to. (And you have a really cool DRB.) Great time on your run, btw, and for 50 minutes!

 

[kmp1191]

She is so pretty! Her hair really has grown out!!
Tell her I said GREAT JOB ON THE HOOLA HOOP GIRL!!!

Great job on the running! (I was gonna say on the runs....but that just doesn't sound right.... )

Your busy weekend must have been like mine....I wish I hadn't typed it....I was tired from just reading back over it....couldn't believe I actually did it all! No wonder I'm sore!

Anyway, great job on the mileage and the time...you're kickin' it!! Hope your havin' fun with the summer clothes!!

Hope you all had a nice weekend and here's to a great week ahead.

Ummm...what are you doing there? Carb loading??

 

[postesf]

Hey Kim! Glad you had a productive weekend!

Great job on your run! That is awesome!!! After the Minnie I'm going to have to work on my speed. Too late to even try now. You're going to do awesome! Only 1 week and a few days! Are you packing yet?

Stacie

 

[kimwim8]

Ummm...what are you doing there? Carb loading??

suuuuuuuuuure. Nah, just practicing for the trip next week.

Stacie - I'm not officially packing yet, but I'm in the "thinking about what to pack" phase. I'm SO excited!!

Marie - thank you for the runs comment. You made my whole day!

Deb - yup, that there is the reason I run at lunch. I'm sure my co-workers just love it when I come back to my desk all red-faced. (let me clarify - I do shower, but my face remains red for probably a good hour after running )

Corinna - I understand. You're just showing me what drinking my sweat looks like. I appreciate your honesty. I think.
