Super Goofs End of Summer August thread

[jmasgat]

Happy Wednesday, Goofs! I had a great run/walk this morning. Not only did my knee not hurt--maybe I finally have the IT strap figured out--but I ran at a 9mpm pace! So it was 34 minutes and 3.27 miles. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my run on Friday will be just as successful.

Saw a great sunriseand also got a gift from my boss of candied orange peel from a littlle shop in Nice (for swapping cars with him for his vacation).

Hope the rest of everyone's day goes as well as this part of mine has!

Just 1.11 miles in 12:03 for me. My left shin tightened up big time, so I called it quits. So disappointing.

Hi Goofs,

Wednesday: 50 minutes strength training.

Have a great Thursday everyone!

DH, kids, dog and I took a walk last night. Maybe 30 minutes and no more than 1.5 miles. At the halfway mark, 5-yo DS declared it "too far" to walk home. Guess he wanted us to call a cab!

HI Goofs!

I have decided that my family is never going to get back into a routine. Sigh.

I am however getting my runs in! On a treadmill since my trails are FLOODED - the news people keep screaming that we are still in a level 4 drought but its hard to believe after the rains of the past few days. Have I mentioned how much I HATE treadmills?

Sunday: 4 in 42:11
Tuesday: 4.2 in 40:39
Wednesday 4.23 in 38:58 (one good thing about the treadmill - I get bored and go fast)

And I am off to run this morning as well. I will try to get the miles posted later today but its another insane day.

Today was a sad sad sad day. My baby went off to first grade. No more babies at home!

I had a two hour freedom ride that really helped heal my heart then a 3 mile run in 35 minutes. I did get new sneakers and so far so good. My nike chip is not working. I did buy another one but I am not sure how to attach it to a shoe that is not nike plus. Any ideas from the crafty?

Anyone else doing the human race on Sunday?

Wednesday- rode for 2 hours.

Good morning Goofs. I see you have all been fitfully carrying on without me. GREAT WORK!! Today is NOT last chance workout day as this week carries through to Sunday so keep on rolling Goofs and rack up the mileage.

Wednesday, I went for a 13 mile bike on HILLS and yes they are in caps for a reason. Yesterday I got in an 8 mile run to make up some of my missing miles for this week. Today is 5 after I take DS6 to school.

The kidlets have transitioned well. DS was really nervous on his first day but has discovered friends from last year and is making new ones daily. He has 2 girls that ask him special to play kickball on their team. How sweet!!! DD13 is hot into field hockey and had practice last night and tonight in the 85 degree heat.

The family has left for Texas and things are working back to normal for me. I have gained 5 pounds while they were here (DD did too and I now outweigh her by a whole 2 pounds) so I am diligently working on getting those 5 off. Tonight I am the driver for a minivan full of partiers, but at least I get to dance off some of those pounds!!! Late night for me and you will probably not see my smiling face again until Sunday morning!

Have a great weekend Goofs. I have Monday off too (now if I had only thought to take Sunday off, DOH) and then onto the normal scheduling again for Tuesday on. I hope everyone is well and keeping up with their workouts. I have no report from ArelysAdriana, Hockeygirl, UP Disney, ReAnSt, Floridagirl, Jimmduck and Disneyluv at all this week.

Another day, another 3.3 miles/34 minutes for me. I did one last run/walk session before I return to running next week. I am pleased to report that with the IT strap firmly in place, I had no problem with my knee.

To all the racers this weekend, GOOD LUCK!

I'm BACK....

The kids are back in school and I have my crazy life back!

Rode for 2 hours today- great jump lesson!

Ran 6 miles in 70 minutes on the treadmill- I don't think it is very accurate but my nike thing is not functioning so I'll take it. Watched Clean House during the run. Made my house seem so neat and organized compared to some of the featured homes- yuck!

Plan is to run the Human race this Sunday. Anyone else in?

 

[Cruella de mom]

hi Goofs-

Today was 6.0 in 58:54. It was a beautiful morning. I met up with the TNT group which was fun.

Off to football, softball and Hannah Montana tryouts...

Yes, hannah Montana tryouts. DD10 is a finalist for a bit part. Or so she thinks. Personally, I think it is a way to get me to pay for acting lessons but I figure she would learn the lesson better if we actually went and experienced it. They are repaving downtown Atlanta this weekend and having a HUGE football game there as well so the traffic should be horrendous.
sigh. The things we do to teach our children.

Saturday...30 mins bike/6.17 miles

Here we go again...rainy today with outer bands from Hurricane Gustuv and still watching TS Hanna as the latest model shows it headed right for Central Florida.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!! Anyone off for Labor Day? I'll be working but get holiday pay for it so its all good!

Good morning Goofs!!

Back as promised, bright and early Sunday morning!! Yes, Joanne, I am running the Human Race today sans Nike chip since mine will not work and I refuse to buy another because I never use it due to its inaccuracy. If they take the miles, they take them, if they don't oh well. I actually am running 9 so they can even have the bonus miles.

I updated the spreadsheet and then checked it and the miles/minutes did not save for some reason. I was using a different computer and will chalk it up to that instead of operator error (of course). I will try again tomorrow since this month will be OFFICIALLY OVER and we move to the falling over fall Goofs thread. Watch for it tomorrow!!!!

Have a GREAT DAY everyone. Oh and Mike, my power song is The Final Countdown!!!!!
