Bill - I knew there was a reason I liked you!

Jackie - Don't feel bad. We are all more than just a little afraid of Jodi. But the ironic part is that the real scary one is Sara. Just try to talk to her when she's running. Yikes!

Good Morning Everyone: I'm back from a whirlwind weekend at WDW. Wow, it was nonstop and crazy. I'm trying to catch up.

I just saw Sara's post. I want to send out all my love and best wishes. You take care of yourself, and I wish all the best on your CT scan.

And let us not forget the beer in mugs the size of a small child!

...and they give to-go cups for the beer too!

 

[Theta]

oops, forgot to mention, I got 5 miles in on the treadmill today. Thought I should put in a few miles in the next 22 days.

 

[jbucci]

Just officially got my reservations for dinner at Germany (how could I not after seeing the full menu). I tried to get lunch with a imagineer on Friday but it was filled so I'm looking for some other fun tour or something to do while DD6 is still at home and I'm a bit more "free"

I just got in my 20 miler- literally just walked upstairs off of the TM. It wasn't quite as fast as I had hoped but it wasn't bad either - of course I haven't tried to stand up from this chair yet... now off to shower and get DD from the bus.

I hope that's for your second mug (you lightweight).

Jen - Nice job on the 20 miler!

Mmmmmmmm........beerbabies.

Mmmmmmmm........beerbabies.

They better be at least beertoddlers for Mindy.

I forgot how them young whipper snappers can drink.

By the way, someone please take the beer away from me if you start to see my son cringe from embarrassment.

1. That's about the time to order another round!

2. Funny, but I don't need any ethanol assist making my daughters cringe from embarrassment. I thought DD13 was going to have a stroke the other week when I was checking out some sparkly gold tops at the mall to wear for the half.

Mike~ You aren't going for the lime green "jammies" look again this year? What is this world coming to? I look forward to seeing the spectacle that you'll be on Half Marathon Morn.

Do I need to make an ADR for the get together or am I able to crash the party and get my drink on? Let me know what time, that kind of stuff... I will surely be there.

Two days ago I didn't run on the TM, I stopped with just 3 miles on the elliptical. A day off from running was helpful. Last night I logged 5 miles in 49:18, not setting the world on fire, but my knee felt fine throughout. I was able to vary the pace from around 10 minute miles down to 8:15 for a while and things went well. Everything felt ok which is a good thing. Today there is no lasting soreness in the knee either.

I am looking forward to seeing all of you (even the lurkers) in WDW in just a few short weeks. Have a great (what is this?) Wednesday!

Jackie - Don't feel bad. We are all more than just a little afraid of Jodi. But the ironic part is that the real scary one is Sara. Just try to talk to her when she's running. Yikes!

You must have known I was sincere in my for you all when you decided to kick the sick girl when she's down. Not that I'd ever deny I'd completely ignore anyone who tried to talk to me during a race but I don't want it common knowledge with the lurkers who have never met me I'd give you the shirt off my back any other time but swear I'd never met you once we've crossed the timing mats. Nothing personal, just energy conservation!!

Dave - Also, I know you have a birthday coming up real soon so I'm sending out my birthday wishes in case I'm not around when the time comes! Glad you all had a magical time at WDW and GKTW.

Colleen - Congrats on the 5 miles

Jen - Awesome job on the 20 miler, especially on the TM

Mindy - Hoping the Candlelight Processional was wonderful

Jodi - So proud of you for instilling the joys of running in Spencer

Howard - Loads of for the knee!!

Bill - Since you're lurking, congrats on MCM and tell Lynnda I was drooling over the talk of pumpkin bread on FB Love the pics of Billy and Timmy!

Chester - Hoping your travels home from HI were uneventful. Congrats on Honolulu and to Tracy

3 hours of acupuncture to free my chi last night and I'm going back for another round tomorrow I'm guessing that's something only Jodi can fully appreciate Have a great week guys

 

[Optimator]

You must have known I was sincere in my for you all when you decided to kick the sick girl when she's down.

Sara - Love is a lot like Christmas goodies. You can only take so much sweet stuff before you need a little salty.

Wow, I should write cards for Hallmark!

Mike~ You aren't going for the lime green "jammies" look again this year?

Howard - Trust me, the PJ's are at the top of the packing list.

Good to hear the knee is behaving.

 

[Jodi]

Wow, I should write cards for Hallmark!

Funny, I've always thought this would be a good career for me.

 

[KeenHo]

Funny, I've always thought this would be a good career for me.

That or a Doula.

I managed 4 miles (9:30 pace?) on the treadmill and a free weight workout at the YMCA last night. Tonight will make 12 workouts at the gym in December and I'll have earned a cool long-sleeve t-shirt! The treadmill running has improved and it's given me a chance to feel how I run, heel-toe, balance, arm movement, etc. I can't wait to put it out on the pavement in WDW in a few weeks. I am not confident I'll break all land speed records there, but I hope to have a great run experience during the marathon.

Mike~ For the most part, the knee is behaving. No major issues or pain from the "frequent use" of it during the last couple of weeks.

Sara~

Have an awesome Thursday!!!

[KeenHo]

WOW... slow day. I guess everyone is busy...

I managed 3 miles in 28:21 on the treadmill at the YMCA last night. No time to do anything else. I was playing good husband running around for a Christmas gift at the mall for over an hour (with no luck).

It looks like we are expecting 6 - 10" of snow from this storm this weekend. Lovely. If you are going to be impacted by it, please be careful out there!

TGIF!!!

[Jodi]

WOW... slow day. I guess everyone is busy... Howard

We're gonna just let you monologue for a few days....have at it!!

 

[KeenHo]

Are you still be trying to figure out what a Doula is.

 

[Jodi]

Are you still be trying to figure out what a Doula is.

I think I would make a great Doula!! My ever-so-positive-pep talks would have a great calming effect on mom & baby both!

 

[Theta]

snow day!!!!!!!!!!!!
