Tinker Bell ½ Marathon Weekend ~ 2014 Check-in!

[longhorns2]

First run in 2 weeks last night!!! Only 30 minutes long but it felt really good! Gonna do 6 miles this weekend. Hopefully it feels just as good!

Good luck Kirstie!

I'm supposed to run 2-4 today, then go for my long run tomorrow morning. 12. But I'm in a funk today. It's one of those circular things- if I run, I know I'll feel better. But I don't feel like running. At all.

I took yesterday off, so today needs to get done. But I'm enjoying jammie day with my 18 mo old. I don't wanna do everything on my list.

Someone kick me in the wings please?

Giving Patty a kick in the tutu - go run. You'll be happy you did.

Unless you really need a jammie day with the baby because those are important too.

So ya, I'm really no help. Sorry.

LOL!

You know whats funny- it's my day off from work. I'm stupid and checked my work email this morning to see my boss scheduled a meeting for me on Tuesday with her. So... that's what has me in a tizzy. What could it be? what did I do? is this bad news? It's only 15 min- is that a good thing or a bad thing? If I was in trouble, wouldn't it be longer? But if I wasn't in trouble, she wouldn't have scheduled an official meeting? Did I get busted doing anything? (No, cause I didn't do anything! Or did I?) Damn- why did I read that email!



I'm slightly insane, I know. But honestly, THIS is what I am obsessing over and has put me in a funk (plus PMS doesn't help)

I need to run. Baby is napping in a few min and I'll get my tutu in gear. Thank you Sarah!

Tomorrow may not be the long one I hope for, but I'll get out there and start it anyway. I have a back up plan for Monday if Sat doesn't work, so I should still get the miles done.

 

[longhorns2]

Ran 3. Slow, but got it done and feel better for it!

Good for you.

Hope your meeting with the boss goes okay. That's a wee bit unnerving. Nothing like giving you something to worry...err...."think" about over the weekend.

Some days just getting the run finished, no matter the speed, is a HUGE accomplishment! Great job!

Big raise doesn't take much time for that.

 

[longhorns2]

Hahaha! Non profit. Fat chance!


Got 12 done. And didn't suck!

Awesome possum! Nicely done my friend!

Okay I guess it is my time to have the crud. All my chest and abdomen muscles are sore from retching.

No running for me this weekend, and no work. I have been off since wednesday. Stupid norovirus. I guess that is one of the drawbacks of working in a hospital.

I'm so sorry it got you. Feel better.

 

[longhorns2]

Boo! Feel better! My son is laying on the couch not feeling well. I'm staying as far from him as a mommy can. Which means I'm not very far. Lol. I sure hope the ick passes fast for everyone!

I'm pretty happy about my recovery after the long run yesterday. I had a busy day running around yesterday that might have helped. Compression too!

 

[kirstie101]

Hope you feel better soon Indygirl!

Long run on Saturday was 6 miles. Longest I've gone in almost 2 months so I was proud of myself for being able to do it! Felt pretty good too. Recovery seems good as well. Bummer now is rain all week this week so keeping my fingers crossed that the evenings are dry enough for me to sneek my short runs in.

Woot Woot!

Ran my furthest last night. 10 miles. Completed in 2:23. That puts me around 3:10 for the Tink!!!!!

Oh! And I'm down 18 pounds since I began training in late July.

Awesome on BOTH accomplishments! Great job!

 

[indygirl99]

Thanks guys for the well wishes.

Felt better this morning so got dressed to go out and run some. Went outside to find it raining and the front lawn and driveway a soggy mess. The wind had blown over our and our neighbors trash cans and all my neighbors trash and recycling was in MY yard and driveway. I got to clean it all up because he said it wasn't his. Of course the mail all had his name and address on it and I don't drink soda or eat take out pizza but okay I cleaned it up.

By this time I was soaked. Even dressed for running in the rain you can only stay so dry. Went back in the house, changed and grabbed the car keys before I could change my mind and went to the gym. Made it 30 mins and 2 miles before the heat of the gym forced me to stop. I really do hate running inside.

Now as I sit here typing the sun is shinning and the pretty white clouds mention no rain. But boy are they moving fast. The wind right now is pretty awesome. Where oh where is my weather now?

Jessica great job on the weight.

 

[longhorns2]

Rockstar! I'm chasing you- I'm around 16 lbs down since July. I think we are going to meet that 20 lbs loss by Tink goal! Woot woot!

Nice run too!

 

[longhorns2]

Indygirl- that's a win! I'd never go out or even think about going out in the rain. If its raining at the race I'll be crying but I will do it. But only for a race.

 

[kindakrazy2]

Nice job everyone. Seems like we all head a set back at about the same time - nicely done getting back out at it.

Indygirl - isn't this weather insane right now? Its snowing one minute, then blue skies, then wind storm, then thunder... I'm sure you're getting the same craziness we are.
