Relentless Forward Motion (a.k.a. Running towards 40)

[deekaypee]

Awww, Amy, I just got through reading the weekly thread & I thought I'd pop over here & give you a treat or two:


It's the best I could do on such short notice. Remember that you're going to be at the Minnie surrounded by friends. And no matter what else happens, you're going to have a fun time! You're already a winner in my book!

Amy,

I'm sorry last week was such a tough week. I hope the week ahead is a much better one for you.

Hey girl. I hope your week is getting to be a bit more manageable. I know the feeling. And I'm sorry about the stomach issues. Hopefully they will clear up soon (or have already cleared up).

Hopefully our paths will cross at the 5k and we'll be able to meet finally! But if not, maybe we can plan a race sometime over the spring/summer around here.

I totally thought I posted already!

Amy...So sorry it's tough right now! We all have such crazy schedules! I don't know how you fit it all in. I'm jealous of your parents too!

I hope things improve for you. I think you may just be doing a little too much. I think your body needs to rest. But, that's just my opinion. You know your body and I know you'll be smart and do what you need to do!

Hang tough girl. It will get better.

I hope you are feeling better!

Stacie

Hi Amy,
A quick stop by to say hello! Are you loving this weather finally or what?

Have a good one,
Linda

Ok, ummmmmmmm....what's up with the penguins??

Hope you're feeling good, Amy. I saw some chit chat regarding foot pain on another journal. Hope you're all good now.

Hi guys

Just a quick update...I decided to take a few rest days this week as my body was exhibiting signs of over-training. I've backed off a bit...even got one of my classes covered to help take the pressure off. Also...the daily stress of getting my kids where they need to be has been lessened as my parents came home on Tuesday. Sometimes it's so hard trying to get everything done by yourself...but it makes us stronger...I think LOL!

Anyway....I did manage to get out for a 6 mile run today which was MUCH better than my 10 mile disaster on Monday! A few rest days can do wonders. I think if my little one doesn't mind tagging along I may also go to another instructor's pilates class tonight so I can get a good workout there myself before teaching later. And in between I'll catch most of my DD10's softball game which Dad is taking her to! yay!!!

So all in all I'm doing well...and REALLY excited to be heading to the Minnie in a few short weeks. I just hope my body continues to feel better and stronger!

Thanks for stopping by....

do I smell cookies????

OH....and Kim...Bingham (the penguin in my avatar) is our flat-stanley kinda' guy who goes to races LOL. He may join us at the Minnie for more photo opportunities. I won him in California...by beating SOMEBODY who shall remain nameless at a game on the pier! He's very photogenic isn't he?

Hi Amy,

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling much better! It sounds like those rest days really helped.

Have a great time at the softball game this evening!

I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better, that you're actively resting (rather than taking too-active of rest days), and you're spirits are up. I'm going to chalk things up to a stonker of a week, with all the demands & pressures building up. It's good to hear you're looking forward to the Minnie, and I'll be sorry to miss Bingham.

*sigh*

That's what happens when I try to be a stud muffin and "win a prize for the girl". I end up getting waxed at the water gun game (which I had a previous undefeated record).

And thank you for thinking I'm photogenic

Nuts. You guys are Nuts.

Swinging by your journal to send you good luck and PD for the Minnie. I hope you, Scott, and Bingham all have a great time. (That's pretty much a given, isn't it?)
