Kim's new and improved life journal!

[postesf]

Hi Kim!!! Thanks so much for checking out my journal! It really is encouraging to read other's experiences! I do want to ROCK the 5k!!! I did print out the Couch to 5K training program. I will probably try it. I just am not up to week 1 yet...

That is soooo funny about your MP3 player!

So, If I read it right, you are doing a 5K this coming weekend??? Good luck on that! I saw your Sept numbers... That is amazing!!! I think my legs would have already fallen off!!!

Have a great day!
Stacie

Wow Kim....good job getting out there to run! I was down in your neck o' the woods this weekend. It was pretty warm. I kind of got used to the fall temps...and summer made a nice comeback this weekend. But wow it was beautiful out there .

I can't believe your race is already here! Good luck with your last week of training!!! I hope the weather is super and you have a great experience!!!

And jumping in on the email thing....I just gave my DD access too and she is 10. She is very limited in what she can access...and I have a lot of control over what she sees. I also check it regularly .

Hey guys and welcome, Stacie!

Had a rough day. I went to the gym at lunch and jumped on the ol' TM (after stretching first). About 5 minutes in...I got BAD shin splints. I only ran 3/4 of a mile before having to walk at a pretty slow darn pace. I finished one mile and quit the TM. I stretched out good and did some arm & leg weights and some crunches. My right knee isn't feeling great tonight either. Hopefully it's all just related to the old sneakers.

I plan on walking at lunch tomorrow to hopefully stretch some more and take some stress off of my knee. No more TM for me this week. I'll try to go out running either Wed or Thursday at lunch outside.

Yes, my 5k is this Sunday. And my sister says she's definitely doing it with me. I appreciate your support, guys! I'm gonna get Jen out there running a 5k with me this fall, or at the LATEST, spring 08! (right, Jen? )

Hi Kim
hope the shine splints heal quickly - you need to be fit for Sunday
Have a great week

Hi Kim

Hope the knee and shin pains go away quickly for you...didn't you mention getting new shoes a while ago? And it's cool that your sis will be running with you this weekend...i bet you guys have a great time (NO COASTER RIDING while you are there...you are too far ahead already)

Have a great day!

Take care,
Beth

Hi Kim,

Sorry to hear about the shin splints and your knee. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Your 5K is so close! That's great that your sister will run it with you. We'll be cheering you both on from Ohio.

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

Hey all! I didn't make it to the journals last night, or online at all. Had lots of work I brought home.

I got in a nice 3 mile walk y'day at lunch. It was HOT outside, but I had no problems with my knee, so that's good.

I have sneakers on order since last week. I'm calling today to see if they're in. I need them bad!

Not too much else to report right now. Thanks so much for your continued support and for stopping by!

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Kim,

I am glad to hear that your knee is feeling better. Remember to baby it for the rest of the week. I hope you got all your work done last night, so you don't have to bring any home tonight.

Take care,
Beth

Hi Kim!!! Shin splits!!! Yuck!!!! I need to figure out some good stretches for my shins...

Glad to hear your knee is better!!!

That so exciting your sister will be doing the 5K w/ you!!! I'm hoping to get my Susan out there to do one me in the future!!! I hope you guys have a great time! I can't wait to hear how it goes!!! Good Luck!

Hey guys. No exercise today, but I did FINALLY get to my surgical consultation. And, according to the doctor - I'm a perfect candidate for the surgery. Unfortunately, I won't have the procedure until January (my choice) but at least I'm one step closer!

Beth - I refused to bring work hom tonight (after working through lunch ).

Oh, and shhhhhhh, don't tell the little ones...but only 6 weeks til we go to you-know-where!!

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Kim,
It is so good to hear that the consultation went well. I think you are smart to postpone it until after the holidays, as long as it is tolerable.

6Weeks!!!!

Have you looked at your milage!?! You only have 6 miles left to reach your goal. You will own this challenge.

Have a good one.
Beth

 

[AmyBeth68]

Hi Kim

I hope those new sneakers help. It's true that when any aches or pains start to show up during the runs first thing you need to do is change the shoes! Maybe you were able to get them today .

Glad that you got your consultation in. Sounds like you have a solid plan and hopefully it will take that pain away for you each month! Good idea to wait until January though...get through the crazy holiday season and your vacation (which is coming up VERY soon!).

Have a great day

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Kim,

How are the new shoes working? Any new aches and pains?

I hope you have a great Friday.

Take care,
Beth

How are the new shoes working? Any new aches and pains?

WISH I had 'em. I went last Thurs to order them & when I called y'day he said the order hadn't been placed til Monday. So, they aren't in yet. Guess I'll be doing more walking then running on Sunday. But that's ok.

YES, I'm within reach of my goal this month. It feels really good. If I had my new sneaks, I would have surpassed my goal, but at this point...reaching my goal is really good. I will probably do a walk tomorrow morning. No soccer. Then Sunday morning is the 5k.

Today is my baby's birthday. He's no baby anymore. He's SIX! Can't wait to get home tonight and give him his gifts.

40 days from today......and so far no sign of the kids having a clue. Don't know that I'll ever attempt a surprise trip again. It's KILLING me!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

 

[ScoJo15]

Happy birthday to your special one So cool that they are going to WDW and don't know it! i'd never be able to keep it a secret...nice work!!

Shame on the shoe place for not getting in the sneaks in a timely manner. Would have been nice to have them for your race this weekend.

Speaking of that....GOOD LUCK!!!! Have a BLAST out there Sunday, enjoy the race with your sister

Have a good weekend!

 

[kmp1191]

And just think, after tomorrow, you'll only have 3 miles left on your goal!!! Kick butt girl!!! I'm so proud of you!!

ree-ree

 

[AmyBeth68]

Hi Kim

Happy Belated B'day to your little guy .

GOOD LUCK tomorrow in the race! The weather is going to be so perfect . That's always a good sign. Too bad about your running shoes though . Have a super time out there with your sister. Just enjoy the experience!!!

Hope your weekend is going great. Give us a race report when you get a chance.

 

[MIdanceMom]
