Andrea - We are not totally done painting. We will have to finish up when we go back to the cabin in a few weeks. We do love our lake place and it is wonderful to have someplace to get away from it all. I do wish that we had internet service up there but in some ways it is nice to get away from that as well.
Now that I am basically a day away from the race...I am getting nervous!
As for the gels...DH and I tried one last weekend to see if we could use what they have at the races and there is NO WAY I would ever try one again. This might be a bit gross but we decided it was like having a mouth full of snot!We use the Jelly Bean Sport things.
Thanks for all the support for my upcoming race. It is great to have everyone sending good wishes!
Thanks for posting this. We have been kind of afraid to try something new and hearing what others like really helps.
AFM - I have not been on because life is busy. Also, my exercising has been really limited this week. I have biked to work 1 day for 6 miles of biking, we had track & field at school for tons of walking around (I was a runner - aka - go get whatever anyone needs) and we are planning on a short walk tomorrow. DH and I have taken it pretty easy this week.
I am thinking we are ready for the half marathon. I have a great outfit picked out. Tonight I am going to give myself a pedicure (not cutting the nails though), use really good moisturizing lotion on my feet and legs and then paint my finger nails as well. I have hot pink polish to match the rest of my outfit! We will drive to Minneapolis tomorrow morning to pick up our race packets and then the race is at 7 AM on Sunday.
In some ways I am terrified! I mean, I just started running in January...what was I thinking? In other ways, I am feeling okay. We have trained hard and we have put in the miles so we should be able to finish.
Alright, this is super long because I was so far behind. Hope everyone is prepared for a great weekend!
Jen
Jen, you guys are going to rock that race. You are well prepared physically and mentally. It's totally normal to be nervous, but you are going to have so much fun and you will always remember this race because it is your first. I'm so excited for you!
As for the other stuff - I agree that it would be nice to go without internet for a while and take a break, but I would probably fall apart without my 'net. I'm so sad.
Gels can be hard to take, I agree. It's odd to have to chew something syrupy. But some flavors are much better than others.
I love that you'rematching your nails to your outfit. My family was laughing as I obsessed about what to wear for the Princess, but I just kept saying "the outfit matters! It's important!" It never ocurred to me to match my nails. Hmmm...
Good luck with getting your school year pulled together. After you complete that race, you'll feel like you can accomplish anything!

Hellooooo Rebels!
Good luck tomorrow on your Zooma Annapolis Half, Katie
and for your Team Ortho Minneapolis Half Marathon, Jen!
Hope you both have cool temps & low humidity!
I changed my profile picture so you can see what Bob and I look like all sweaty at the end of our first 10K!
Our time was ok...we weren't last! That is always my goal!
1:07:55 I expected to come in around 1:09 so I did better than I thought. Bob stuck with me the whole way and a couple runners he knows from work were at the race too. They were driving away when we were still about a half mile from the finish line and they yelled to us out the car window. That suxd!
I spent the last 1/2 mile telling Bob that being a good husband is better than finishing before those dorks. I didn't see their wives running with them and if they did, they'd probably leave their wives behind! I got me a good one!
It was a good flat course by the river in Harrisburg, PA but it was very hot and very humid. At the water stops, I took a sip from the cup then poured the rest down the back of my neck! Glad it is over now and we have our first qualifying finish time to submit for corral placement at the WDW Half!

Good for you Barb (and Silent Bob)!!
I knew you could do it! (And you do have you a good one.)
Now it just needs to cool down for Katie, and Jen needs confidence for her race.

Barb - Way to go on your race this weekend! I think your DH is the best!
Katie - Good Luck tomorrow! I know you will do great!
To Everyone - Thanks for all the support and wishes for a good race tomorrow. I am sure we will do fine. Our goal for this first one is to simply finish and be proud of our accomplishment. It is simply a bit overwhelming because this is such a huge event in Minnesota. I will be sure to check in tomorrow to let you know how it all went!
Night everyone!

Hope everything went well for you Jen and Katie!!
Way to be Barb and Silent Bob!!! Your are right you have yourself a REAL keeper!!! Maybe you can be inspiration to the other men and they will ask their wives to join them! Nothing like running with the best partner ever!
I got my 4 miles in!!!! 1h5m! I felt good during the whole walk! I even had enough energy to follow it up with cross fit! 3 sets of 10 push ups, 20 jump ropes, and 10 step-ups followed by a 400m jog holding a 5lb weight!!
As my long workouts get longer I'm going to have to move my cross fit to another day! Well I'm off to my sisters baby shower!!!

Nikki - Great job with a walk AND cross training! You are doing super!!!
Alright, I would reply more but it is going to be a busy day. I have report cards that MUST be done before tomorrow and I have barely started them. I will give you all a brief update on the race.
We got to the race about 6:15 AM and I was stunned by all the runners (even though I knew it would be huge, I was still surprised). I was even more surprised when I saw that our area to line up was about 2 blocks back from the start line (this was based on the pace we were aiming for). The weather really was cooperating with us as it was a perfect temperature. There were points where it was really sunny and hot and other times where the skies were a bit cloudy and a slight breeze would come (loved this part). DH and I felt really good this morning and the first miles passed pretty quickly. We had planned on walking at mile 4...but didn't. We walked for a couple of moments to get drinks at mile 5 and then ran right away again. We planned on walking at mile 8...but didn't. Again, we walked for a minute or two to drink and have some jelly beans. At about mile 11 we caught up with Corinna (from the WISH / Team Ohana) and again, walked as we had drinks. Then we ran again. The end of the race is almost all uphill. There was one really steep hill where we power walked up part of it as our running was as slow as walking! I was so excited to see the flag for mile 13 and crossing the finish line was AMAZING!
Our time: 2 hours, 22 minutes and 30 seconds!
Our goal: 2 hours, 45 minutes (or more...we just were hoping for under 3 hours)
I am so proud of DH and totally proud of myself. I can't believe that we completed the race in such a great time!
On the way home, we were talking about registering for our next 1/2 marathon...we must be insane!
Alright, time to focus on the grades but I just wanted to share how happy I was. Here is one of the photos:

Jen - Congrats!!!! What an AMAZING race for you today. We are so proud of you. I hope my first half is as smooth sailing as yours.
Nikki - Nice job with walking and cross fit. I wish I could be motivated to do more after my run, but naps just seem like the thing to do.
Barb (and Bob) - Great job on the 10K. My first 10K is next weekend. My group is doing it as a training run. But I'm excited about getting officially timed and getting the t-shirt. It's the little things.
Katie and Andrea - Thanks for the suggestions on gels and beans and candies (oh my!). I did use Gu Chocolate Outrage on Saturday and it was delicious. Tastes just like chocolate pudding. Totally gave me energy. I just have to adjust the timing on when and how much going forward.
Gretchen - Yup it's still hot and humid here. Hope you found some cooler places to walk this weekend.
AFM, I did my 8 miles yesterday. It was tough but I got through it. It was totally mental. Just getting my mind to commit and know I could do it was the toughest part. During the last half mile my calves started to feel tight, but I was so committed to finish. Actually at the last minute the group decided to change part of the root, running right by my building at 7 miles. It was so hard not to just go inside into the AC. But I kept on plugging away. I NEVER would have done it without them. I came home immediately showered, and found that it took about 12 hours for my body temperature to come down. I had the AC on 60 and it just couldn't get cool enough for me. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me? Well today, my lower back hurts a little, probably because my posture suffered as I was pushing through that heat. But I did it and I'm proud. Next weekend is my first 10K, the NYC Mini 10K. Then 10 and 12 milers the following weekends. I should be well prepared for my half in October.
Enjoy what's left of the weekend Rebels!!!

Yeah Barb (and silent Bob). You did great!
Nikki - Good work doing those miles. Things are moving along; that's wonderful.
Hope you have a great time at your sister's shower.
Jen- wow, your smile says it all. You were terrific. It's amazing how training hard really pays off. That feeling of crossing the finish line is like none other.
Way to go
Jane - I do take quite some time to cool down when I've been walking in the hear for so long. It seems that while I'm walking it doesn't seem so bad; but boy do I perspire once I start to cool down. You are doing a great job with your training and it will all pay off in the end. You will do great in your October race.
AFM - I had a really good weekend. It was so nice to do our early morning walks and then come home to jump in the pool. I did lots of swimming as well (oh, I mean cross training
) It has cooled off a bit here in NJ today so, DH and I went out for a quick walk along the waterfront this evening too. It was really nice.
Have a great week Rebels!

OMG I just melted yesterday. It was in the 80 with 70+% humidity and not a cloud in sight yesterday. Great for swimming but not great for a half marathon, especially one with no shade for the last 5 miles. It was a struggle and I think my worst half marathon time yet. Would have been a beautiful course on a cooler day. Next year I am just doing the 10K.

Jen - You did awesome! You totally rocked the half and you should be proud of yourself. You will always remember that amazing, proud feeling of crossing the finishing line. You earned it. (Great picture by the way. You look so happy.)
Nikki - You go girl! Not only did you rock the 4 miles, you had the energy to cross train after!
Jane - Naps are always a good thing! As anyone who has ever raced can tell you, it's all about the bling!
You did great on your 8 miles yesterday! I remember as I was starting with my long walks I had a total mental breakdown. My body felt like it could keep going, but it was so bad in my head. It was really bad. I went to the boards and ROTEers gave me a big pep talk and basically talked me down. Encouragement like that is really invaluable.
Good for you for not stopping at 7 miles and heading home. That took dedication. Yes, I've found that it takes a while for my body to cool down after a hard walk/workout. A cool shower really helps.
You will most definitely rock the Wine & Dine!
Gretchen - Man, I'm so jealous that you have a pool! The mosquitos are so bad in our backyard that we can't go out there. It's barely tolerable to be in the front yard, but the back is a no-no. We would never get to swim if we had a pool. Although it might be worth it on those 98 degree days...
Katie - I'm so sorry the weather didn't break for your race. But I'm glad you survived and completed #21.
I'm so happy for all of us, we've all made huge strides in our goals. I'm very proud to be a part of this group. Every one of you rocks!

Hi Rebels -
Checking in so I don't fall behind.
Gretchen - I think if the weather goes back to being that hot, I might be running towards your pool and stopping by for a swim.
But hey, at least we have this cool front in right now, giving us perfect weather for our walking and running.
Katie - Regardless of your time or weather, what a great accomplishment to finish your 21st. It'll surely be a race to remember for you because of the circumstances. And who knows, maybe they'll move it to a nice time of year and you can enjoy the pretty course another time.
Andrea - You are such a great cheerleader. I don't know how you do it.
Thanks to everyone for letting me know about their body temperatures. I was thinking that there was something seriously wrong with me. Yesterday was an off day, today is 45 minutes. The weather is perfect - cool and sunny. Tonight's run should be super enjoyable and perhaps I can see a time improvement.
Oh - one last thing. I booked my Universal hotel for the days after the Wine n Dine. So excited to go see Harry Potter. Haven't been to Uniersal in 10 years. So it's just another added excitement to my October trip.
Happy Running!

Jane - That's a great idea - Gretchen can host a Rebel Pool Party in her backyard!
I am a much better cheerleader than runner/walker. It's very easy for me to encourage and offer advice to others, but it is much harder to take my own advice! I'm trying to get better at it, though.
Ooh, you get to do something else fun after W&D! Let us know how HP is. I've never been to Universal. Our trips to the World are often so short that we don't have time to go off-site and do anything else.
Don't know if anyone else gets the emails from Runner's World, but I thought of you, Jane, when I saw this:
TRAINING: Stay Cool
Three ways to keep cool and comfortable on your next run in the heat. Maybe there's something you can try?

So when I look outside and see those people with the bright lime green shirts swimming in my pool I will know that the Rebels have arrived:rotfl2I admire you, Katie, for making it through that heat. You are truly a trooper.
Jane - It has really been nice these past few days, I agree. If you are ever running here in central NJ during another heat wave, please PM me and we'll see what we can do.
I wholeheartedly agree! You really take the time to respond to everyone and give such good helpful hints. Much appreciated. Jeez, even including those pool party invites
OK, I missed walking today. I worked on a SS project with my grandson. We had him after school. He chose to make Russian Tea Cakes for his presentation and report on Russia. He did a great job and they came out delicious. Yes, I did taste one (really, only one). He was so proud of them and I just could not say no when he served me one. Feeling a bit guilty now but at the time it was the right thing to do. I do plan on walking tomorrow - a 5m with cousin.

Gretchen- What i wouldn't give to have a pool to jump into on hot humid days! Luckily it has been mild here the past few days and PERFECT weather for walking!
Katie- Sorry your 1/2 was soooo hot and sunny!! Is the 10K course shadier?
Andrea- Thank you so much for your encouragement!
AFM- I was bad today! I did not get my workout in! Today was the day of the Spaghetti Dinner. It didn't go quite as planned (it rained and the ball games RIGHT NEXT to the place we were holding the dinner were canceled!) we did have 72 people show up so we made around $300. Even our intruder from earlier came and joined! It was so much fun to meet a WISHer! But I didn't get my walk in between making cookies last night until midnight, and then working the dinner until 9:30 tonight! Tomorrow I have a Cross-Fit outing planned! And a walk in the AM if I get up early enough!
Margie from team Hakuna Matata is going to do my long walk with me this weekend! It will be nice to have some company!!
Take care everyone! I'm off to wash the spaghetti sauce smell out of my hands!

Happy Wednesday Rebels!
Andrea - Thanks for the article. I found a lot of tips for running in the heat and humidity on the website. Gave me something to do while I'm bored here at work.
Gretchen - Good luck on your 5 miles today. I think doing a project with your grandson is a perfect excuse to not workout and yes, you had to have the tea cake. You'll walk it off in no time.
Nikki - Also another great reason to not have worked out. Glad you were able to raise some money at the spaghetti dinner. Enjoy your cross fit today and your new walking buddy this weekend!
AFM, weather here last night was so great again. Did an easy 3 miles. My best pace so far this running season. Improved by 8 seconds/mile on my pace. Wanted to go further but don't want to get injured. Supposed to rain today. I'm thinking about trying to find some sort of upper body workout to do. I'm taking suggestions.
