Feeling very ignored around here---

Hey Linda-

Sorry I haven't popped in in a while, but this week I was on "vacation" from work but worked temp jobs all week. Nothing like throwing off a perfectly good schedule. No running, as I would have had to have been up at 4:30AM to get it done. I actually fell asleep in my recliner at 7:45 the other night-longer days at offices where things are vastly different from my own and it plum tuckers me out!!

But how is your training going for the Applefest? I have only 2 more weeks until the Palio, I am so excited to do my first half marathon. We are running 8 tomorrow, and then I am starting my new training schedule this week. T/Th/Sun running, W/F strength training.

Good for you with the spinning-its not my thing. FIL teaches it 2x week, he is a nut.

Keep up the good work-I'll try to stop in more often

Hey Linda. Don't ever feel ignored!! I may not be posting much but I do check in on you from time to time. You're getting pretty fast!!

Where did you go rafting? We went earlier this summer on the Kennebec and it was W-I-L-D like a once every 5 years ride down the river at 5300 cfs water!! Holy first ride down the river.... Hope you had a great time!!

 

[momof2minnies]

6 miles in 59:28 a 9:54 pace- it was great.

Thanks Veronica and Lisa

I am sore from rafting but feel good.It was the Deerfield river.We talked about the Kennebec but good thing we did not decide to do that because 2 of our guys bailed on us and it would have been impossible without them.

We now have new names for those guys that I can't say here!

Linda

Do you go rafting often or just once and a while when you can organize a group?

I'll always wanted to try it, but never seem to get on those trips when family and friends go.

Great job on the exercise, running, spin class. And it looks like you're seeing results too.

45 min spinning class today- gained 3 lbs but somehow feel really bloated.

Linda

 

[toystoryduo]

Great job on the spinning class, Linda!

 

[momof2minnies]

Thanks Tracy!

5 miles today in 49:14, a 9:50 pace.

Going to the Red Sox this weekend but have to fit 9 miles in- this is when training is a pain.

Pray for sun!

Linda

 

[momof2minnies]

20 min short walk today- really my day off.

Wt 164.6, wow that was all water, I can't believe it.

Linda

 

[momof2minnies]

163.4 today! Not sure what to do today- it is supposed to be a wash out here.

Maybe elliptical here at home for a change of pace.

Linda

 

[toystoryduo]

Great job on the weight loss, Linda!

The elliptical sounds like a great way to change up your workout today, especially since the weather isn't cooperating.

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

[momof2minnies]

Well all the hard work and it looks like I am pulling out of the race in 10 days.

I have been really sick, wicked chest cold and my 2 DDs were in a 3 car accident Tuesday so my focus is and should be elsewhere.We do not need to go to NH right now.

Thankfully everyone is OK, no injuries.

Will be starting to trian again for WDW real soon.

Linda

 

[VernRDH]

Linda-

Sorry to hear about your girls accident, glad everyone was okay.

Getting sick before the race was one of my biggest worries-thankfully I have managed to stay healthy. Sorry that you are going to miss Applefest, but better to rest and get geared up for Disney.

Hope everyone is feeling better soon.

And thanks for the good wishes! I am praying for swift feet and good weather!

 

[LAinSEA]

C'est terrible! I sure hope your DDs are OK. Sometimes the body aches don't show up until a day or two after an accident when the adrenaline has worn off. I can empathize about the cold. I hope it doesn't last you long.

Laurie

 

[VernRDH]

Linda-how are you doing? Feeling any better? Let us know how you are doing!

 

[momof2minnies]

Hi everyone! Have not done a thing, my race is tomorrow and I can't believe I won't be there.Still sick here, quite a few of us at work have it.It has been about 2 weeks, I have a MD appt NEXT Wed., what good will that do I ask?

Have a good one
Linda

 

[momof2minnies]

Well finally feeling a little better.This virus knocks me for a loop.Saw MD and he put me on meds.

Ran 3 miles today in 29:37, a 9:52 pace.I'll take it.

Cannot believe fall is here.Very nice today, going for a walk with a friend after lunch.

Can't wait to get back to spinning.

Linda

 

[LAinSEA]

Glad to read you're feeling better and surprised the doctor could give you anything for flu or colds (doctors can be reluctant to give even the anti-virals if you're not just coming down with the flu). Still I hope it takes care of you and gets you back to normal sooner.

I love fall here - not as pretty as back East, but still love those crisp cool sunny days. Great for getting out and walking.

Laurie

 

[momof2minnies]

Hi Laurie thanks for the support.I have a specific virus and hope this helps.Did not have a cold or the flu.

Ran 3 miles today in 29:06, a 9:42 pace.After that got on my bike for 4 miles in 20:16, it is a little humid out there today but nice.

Time for a shower, lunch then a walk with a friend.Oh yah groceries today too- yuk!

Linda
