Oktoberfest for Hukuna Matata!!!

[bunnyfoo]

Good morning everyone! I'm feeling much better today - my headache is gone, same with my sore throat. I still have the sniffles but I hope they'll be gone by the weekend! Thanks so much for the PD and the get well wishes! They really worked

Dave - I wasn't sure if the leaves changed colours where you are since you're further south than we are. Do you get snow? Erica sounds like me when I take a road trip - except my head seems to flop side to side and all over the place

Denise - How do nasal sprays work? I've heard a lot about them recently but I don't know anyone who's actually used one. Does the bottle spray water into one side of your nose? Where does it come out And does it make a big mess?

Margie - for your foot! I'm glad to hear it's getting better!

Connie - How are you and Jon doing?

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Vicki - you are describing a nasal rinse, sprays do not add enough moisture to drip back out (usually). I use a nasal rinse on a regular basis because it is so dry here. Glad that you are feeling better!

Denise - do you not eat any food on the plane, or just not eat what the airline might provide? We usually bring our own food, since the airline does not feed you anymore.

Connie - I will get totals posted to you as soon as I send this message - I promise!

It is warmer here today, the last few days have been beautiful but cool. I think I will start moving stuff (books and DVD's) into the basement.

Have a great day!

TEAM!


This fall weather is beautiful - and very colorful this year.

Yes, my foot & ankle gets some better every day - it's just that it was WAY swollen (HUGE), painful, and bruised. It still has a bit of swelling, pain, stinging, etc ... I am walking today without the brace. I think I will be okay for the race on Sunday

Sara will wrap my ankle-in this situation is it bad to take ibuprofen before a race?

Plan to get in an upper body workout at the gym tonight.

Connie & Jon

Glad you are feeling better, Vicky!

Later...

Well I mostly go to WDW or TX or PA on airplane rides which are 3 hours and under and I eat before I board the plane. I don’t want to put anything in my mouth while on the plane. I buy a bottle of water, after I pass security and drink that. My hands have touched the table, the seat back and some times the bathroom and their washing system in the bathroon doesn’t build a whole lot of confidence.. Generally, when I can’t eat that early (6:30) flight, I buy something in a wrapper and keep my fingers on the wrapper while I eat. If you only knew how many times I was sick the whole week of vacation and/or when I got back home – these small preventive measures have really made a difference.

I use the Afrin nasal spray not the rinse.. yuck. It can be habit forming but I only use it when I fly not any other time.

Haven’t been too naughty today as I had anticipated. I did have a moment today, somehow I got ink on my shirt where the “girls”are. I felt like that commercial where the stain talks to everyone over your own voice. I couldn’t stand it so at lunch I went and bought another shirt. Thank goodness Marshalls is on the way to where I can pick up lunch.

OK, back to clean up my desk before the end of the day……………

Margie, Keep healing up!
Dave, I love Mamoth Cave. When I was a kid we used to take "outdoor education" field trips to there. I wanted to be park ranger there when I wass 2nd grade.

As for me, I went for my first post-race run today. I did 3.25 miles at an 8:20 pace. And it felt comfortable. I have a 5k in 10 days so we'll have to see if I can up my 10k pace at that.

Best,
Jennifer

Popping in before I leave work. It's been too crazy in the office to stop in and my computer at home is still broken.

We are buying a car tonight...wish us luck!!

Connie - I'll send you my totals in the next couple of days.

HOPE YOU GUYS ARE ALL DOING GREAT!!!

Miss you!!

 

[Scott H]

Eva, good luck with the car.

Also if you promaraly use the computer for email and intrernet, take a look at the EPC, saw them at target for $299. Simple machine and I use one for travel nice and small and light, but if ya need some prcessing never mind that machine.

Might work on packing up for the trip next week, need to do a walk with Lynn and a really good long run on Sat, mow the lawn, fertilze for winter, set up gun safe, move stuff tpo the basement, change the oil adn fuel filter in the truck, will the list never end,

Hope t get outta work early today adn help a coworker with some concrete.

Later kids,

Good Morning Team!

As Scott posted, we are doing our exercise later when he gets home tonight! It should be a nice day. The dogs and I took it easy yesterday with just a 1.27 mile walk, of course, I got to do a few stair climbs - hauling DVD's to the basement, and doing laundry (washer and dryer in the basement). The weekend projects are mowing the lawn (for the last time this season maybe? We have turned off the sprinklers, so it is not getting any more water.), and "moving in" to the basement! Looks like Scott has a few others on the list.

Eva - good luck on the new car!

Denise - When we eat on the plane, it is usually a sandwich that is wrapped and we eat from the wrapper. But neither of us have too much trouble getting sick on the vacation, but sometimes when we get home. I always take an empty water bottle thru security and fill it up from a water fountain on the other side of security. I do not think the airlines provide enough water on the plane!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[wdw4us]

Thanks, Scott.

That was an expensive lunch. Went to Target and bought one of those EPC’s, a fab purple mouse and purple bag to hold it. We have been wanting a simple laptop to surf the net, email etc and this is perfect. I had no idea they existed. Had to take Nick for pants for the wedding and told him about it. Off we went, he’s got it at the house now, getting it set up and charging for me.

I can’t wait for this day to be over so I can play with it a bit. Darn I still have to clean the house but boy it will make life easier while on vacation, I’ll even be able to post my miles from Houston.

Thanks again!

Sorry, now ya need to get a few USB flash drives, I like mine.

 

[wdw4us]

I'm home now using my new toy. Wouldn't want to write a book on this but it will get the job done.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Eva, good luck with the car shopping. Buy one that gets good gas miliage so you can come and visit all your WHIH buds.

Scott is good at finding bargins, he has a nose for them.

Margie good luck on the race, call us when you are done and let us knoe how it went.

Denise, sure wish you were going with us, but getting your little princess married off is important.

Everyone have a restful evening.

Good evening, or rather good morning everyone!

I'm just passing time at work till 530am comes and I can go home and sleep! I don't think I'll ever get used to going to bed when people are getting up for the day.

I've been reading through this whole thread trying to get to know all of my teammates a little bit!

Scott and Lynn I've come to the conclusion you two are together? DH & DW or DBF and DGF?

Scott - The basement looks great and I LOVE the popcorn machine! That is like my ultimate weakness...if I had one of those there would be popcorn popping every night!

Lynn - Wow 25 years?! I can't imagine staying in one place that long, but good for you and enjoying retired life! I'm jealous! We work 12 hours shifts so we are 2 on, 2 off, and every other 3 day weekend. I have one year left in my contract for the Communications Center and then I can move around to another position in the agency. My ultimate goal is Forensics!

Connie - I believe this is going to be my 10th post so I can finally PM you my miles and minutes! Although after reading what everyone is doing everyday I don't know how much I'm going to add to our team's total! All you crazy kids doing 8-10 miles a day! I hope to get there soon but I'm not there yet!

Oh and yes I will be doing the TOT run next Saturday! I have a question for all your veterans of races. This going to be my very first race EVER so I'm not quite sure what to eat or drink the day of. I don't want to eat too much and not be able to run, or eat too little and barely have any energy...or even what times to space the food out. Can anyone give me some tips?!

I took a rest day today because on Wed when I was running I actually managed to get my DBF out with me and we sprinted like the last 50 yards or so to see who could get there first and I think I twisted something in my knee.

Alright I'm off to go pm you Connie, I hope everyone has a great night, and day! Happy Saturday everyone!

[crunkyjens]

I almost forgot! I'd like to put the "Team Hakuna Matata" in my signature with the little running Simba. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

 

[windwalker]

Good morning team.

Jen I'm a racewalker, so I don't run at all. What is your average pace when you run? There a lot of runners, walkers and run/walkers at all the paces so you would have plenty of us to be with at the race.

There is a group of us that hang out over on the DisneyRunning.com Forum also.

I have a little 3K race this morning, the Halloween Hustle. I has a lot of racewalking talent show up so the competition will be stiff and the course has a killer hill, twice. They only have awards for the top 3 finishers so I have to hump it if I want hardware.

We arrive at Disney on monday afternoon and will be there till the 29th.

If you want our cell #s so we can meet up send me a PM.

Margie good luck in your race.

Connie heal well, ((((((((((Connie))))))))))

Have an awesome weekend y'all.

[Scott H]

Yep Denise the EPC is small and I type even more worser on it LOL, but for travel it is great.

Jen, yes Lynn and I are Married, 28 years, WOW. Do plan on getting together with your teammates at the TOT, we are at BWV and will be there 10/24 -11/1. We will also provide cell numbers via PM for anyone.

Just remember to lock you dialing pad so you don't call people at 0500, sorry Erica,

Got is a 9.65 mile run this morn felt good , nice sunrise, Basement is done so unpacking and other house work is in order for today, Will be on the road Monday and Tues, Presentation on Wed, and Thursday to Denver, Then WDW on Fri,

We have Rosie Finches at the bird bath,

Have a great day. Looking forward to TOT

Good Luck on your races.

 

[windwalker]

I did my 3K race and it was tough. It was grass and soft trail with a big flippin hill. You can't get a good pushoff on your toes on soft surface so it is much harder than road. My legs are mad at me right now. I did place second and got a nice trophy so not all bad.

Connie, todays miles were for you give me 25 miles and 10 hours and 6 miles and an hour and a half for you.

Off to work now.

Tired Panda

 

[Scott H]

Dave KEWL deal on the trophy, you da man.

Un packed boxes all day yesterday, after doing the maint on the truck, still more boxes to go.

Gotta pack today for WDW and my road trip.

Later kids

 

[bunnyfoo]

Good morning everyone! Just got back from my 5K! It was super chilly this morning - 2C or 35F. DF and I jogged over to the start just to keep warm. The course looped through downtown Toronto. It felt really short because it seemed like it was over before I started. Not sure exactly what time I finished because I didn't look at the time when I started and I forgot to stop my Garmin afterward. But I'm thinking maybe 33 minutes.

Dave - Congrats on your trophy!

Jen - To put the icon into your signature, you have to click on your "User CP" link. The click on the "Edit Signature" link. Then cut and paste this into your signature [ IMG]http://s244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/scotth5150/th_HM2-3.jpg[ /IMG] (take out the spaces that I put in before the IMG tags)

Scott - Our bank was giving those Asus mini PCs away during the summer if you signed up for one their accounts. I thought it was perfect for traveling!

Eva - Good luck with your new car purchase!

Well, I'm off to grab some breakfast! Have a great day everyone!

 

[windwalker]

Hi guys.

We are heading out at about 4am in the morning. Long drive to WDW but sure ready for a vacation.

Have a great week y'all, stay out of trouble.
