Hey all. Not too much to report, except a crazy weird day y'day. I worked, came home to the kids (were with MIL) and decided to bust open the Ballet Conditioning DVD and see what it's all about. I was able to complete all 50 minutes, but it was REALLY hard! I've certainly lost some of my ballet skills in the last 20 years. Great workout though, especially for the legs. But it also threw in abs and arm (well, shoulders mostly).

Anyway, when I finished, I grabbed a bottle of water and by the time I sat on the couch, extreme nausea overcame me. UGH. It was horrible. Lasted til about 11pm. I had to get DD9 to make both her and DS6 sandwiches for dinner. There was no way I was getting anywhere near food. DH came home around 8 and got the kids showered and to bed. I was just a blob. I had a piece of bread around 10:30 to try to settle my stomach, and I guess that helped. What a yucky night that was. I slept fine and woke up without the extreme nausea, just a mild case of it now.

I brought my running bag with me to work, but I don't know that I'm up for it today - unless I start feeling much better in a couple hours. Might just be taking the day easy and hopefully feel better tomorrow.

Well, it's about time. I've missed you and your snarkiness.

Hi Kim!

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well...might be a good idea to push the run off a day just to make sure you are all better first.

Hope you get to feeling better soon

Howdy! Glad to hear the ballet workout was good!!!

Sorry you were feeling bad after... I'm glad you are better today! Maybe skipping your run today might not be a bad idea...

Ballet Conditioning, huh? It sounds great, if a little too coordinated for people like me. But I like the idea of a full-body workout. What was most challenging for you?

OTOH, I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling unwell. Please, please take care of yourself. Get the rest & hydration you need and if you can run, great. If not, the road will be waiting for you tomorrow.

BITE YOUR TONGUE!!! Nope, nothing to report. That little surgery I had took care of that with 100% confidence!!

I'm happy to report I'm back to "normal" today. Went out for a 3 mile run in our beautiful, sunny 60 degree weather. (32 mins) Then came back to my desk (shhhhhhhhh) and ordered a bunch of new summer running clothes online!

DKP - the ballet DVD was a really great workout, if not a little too much to do before my 5k this weekend. The thigh work was intense. LOTS of squats (they call them plee-ays). My legs were still quite sore today when running, but I pushed through. It's a good sore, you know?

(they call them plee-ays)

LOL....I had this whole joke ready about ya'll comin' down here to pleay with the kids out yonder with uncle/daddy bubba....but then I decided against it..... don't want to offend anyone......

Hi Kim!

Great run, glad you're feeling better and you've got some new summer clothes on the way to boot! Looks like things are going great in your world :

So what's up with this 5k this weekend?? I missed seeing that you had signed up for one (sorry!)...is it over on the Jersey shore?? You are gonna totally ROCK it though, esp with all of the running you've been doing lately

Have a good day!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys! I was going to run again today but my stomach went on the fritz again. I'll run again tomorrow (hopefully) to get another one in before Sunday.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it or not. But I'm running a 5k in Sea Isle (near Wildwood, NJ). They have a marathon going on with a 1/2, 10k and 5k. I'm running with my work running buddy and swim-mom from the DIS.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm feeling good about it. I still have that dread in my stomach that I'll be the last one across the finish line. But hopefully it won't happen that way.

hmmmmmmm, come to think of it, maybe THAT'S what's wrong with my stomach this week.

 

[AmyBeth68]

Good luck Kim!!! Sounds like you're in great company for the race. I bet you guys pull a speedy finish time..just my prediction! And tell Swim-Mom that her miles count double...since she's on our challenge team over on the Events Thread .

You've been doing really really GREAT with you running . I'm very proud of you girl! Please get well soon so you can enjoy your race this weekend!

 

[AmyBeth68]

Oh wow Kim...just realized it's the Ocean Drive Marathon weekend . How cool...I wish it were closer b/c I'd drive down and run with you guys if I could. Oh well...too long of a drive I think . Have a great time...and give us a big report on Sunday .

You sure??? It's not that far. They're giving out medals for the 10th anniversary.....

But....if you ARE sure, let's plan on a 5k together at some point this year. Maybe 1/2 way between us?
