Well, I'm going to get May started off!

It was beautiful yesterday; sunny and temps in the high 60's. Around 3:30, I looked around my department and realized that I was the only one in the entire area that was still there! And I'm an intern! Yeah right! So I snuck out as well, and went for a nice 6 mile run around Lake Union. I've been running that route regularly for almost a year, but I've NEVER seen so many people out; everyone and their grandmother seems to have gotten the bikes out this week! Which of course means that no one understood the pathway lane rules (that particular path has separate "wheels" and "heels" lanes, and then left and right within those lanes) and I almost got clocked by bikers several times.

Speaking of bikes, today is the first day of REI's big spring sale, so I'm going to go look for a bike for myself today or tomorrow. My $60 Target Magma that is held together by duct tape is no longer cutting it - I no longer even lock it up anymore, I just take off the parts that I want (mud flaps, lights, etc.) and hope that someone steals it. Alas, no takers yet. But, I'm hoping to pick up a nice 15% off commuter bike in the next few days! And we're going to look for a bike rack for the car so that we can take this show on the road - we picked up a K9 Bike Jogger for Jack a few weeks ago and are looking forward to taking him for some rides/runs in the mountains this summer. He LOVES to run next to the bike, because it FINALLY means that he doesn't have to slow down so that the puffing human can keep up!

I've also been dusting off the Disney recipes this week - off to go finish baking the Whispering Canyon Cafe Strawberry Banana Bread!

Happy Weekend, Warriors!

Happy May Day, or as we celebrate in the islands "Lei Day."

Princess #1's second triathlon in the morning. Low registration numbers, which is good, meaning she'll have better chance at winning the door prizes.

Great Aloha Friday everyone.

 

[Roxy]

do we still get to double our miles for april if we did a half and 10k ? I know we are not to double our times but was not sure about miles from races

HEY WARRIORS!

I know I was pretty absent as far as posting in april, but I did keep up with the spreadsheet. I am hoping to be around more in May. LTO in the form of an almost 2 year old!

I am planning to run a 5k in June, so I am using that for motivation to get my running mojo back.

One super positive thing is that I have lost almost 10 pounds since early April which puts me with in 20 pounds of my goal weight!!

I am off to Disney tomorrow for the day, for my birthday!! I am going to bring my garmin, I am curious to see how much we walk.

Cheers,
Amy

You can double your miles for any race that you have done. Yepper!!! (and like you said you can't double the time!)

I was at the beach this morning and it was NIICEE!! Funny as I forgot to put sunscreen on my feet. The tops got a little bit of sun and so I have flipflop outlines on them. haha
Then 30 min in the pool doing walk/run sprints and laps.

This was my view from my chair!!

Have a great Friday night everyone
Tracy

Oh Tracy that's such a lovely view! I'm getting a little bit jealous Great work doing the swim laps.

I went out today for 9.5miles, really want to keep a bit of distance up but it was harder than i expected! 88 mins of running 10 stretch. Did 40 mins core work yesterday and i can DEFINITELY feel it!

I'm considering a 10k in manchester in July- convinced my boyfriend to run it so just need to get it booked.

Aww Amy hope you have a wonderful birthday with lots of exciting pixie dust!

 

[dsnyfan21]

Happy Happy Birthday AMY!!!! Have a great time!!

Princess #1 did her second triathlon today.

 

[mkymsehi]

Middle & High Schools compete in milk carton boat races.

And finally...

Following the morning triathlon that Princess #1 did, I went out for a 1,000 meter swim, 14 mile bike ride, and 1 mile run.

Trying to learn how to run with jello legs.

10 to 12 miles in the morning with the marathon clinic. Picnic to follow.

 

[dsnyfan21]

Jeff: LOVE the photos!!! Looks like Princess #1 is following in her Daddy's footsteps! She looked like she was enjoying it. (you too of course!)

Made it out for 8 miles in the heat. Following that was the Honolulu Marathon Clinic's picnic. Good food, especially after a run.

 

[mkymsehi]

I almost forgot. My wife met President Obama's sister, Maya Sorento-Ng on Sunday at the children's theater production of "Goodnight Moon." Her and her daughter were in attendance.

I previously mentioned my wife's co-worker is Maya's best friend from college.

So, needless to say, my wife and younger daughter were quite excited from their brush with celebrity. I shook my head and asked, "Where's the picture?"

 

[dsnyfan21]

Good morning Warriors....

I had all intentions of doing 8 miles yesterday. When I woke up I was feeling "wierd", can't really explain it any other way. I did 3 instead as I was feeling a bit light headed. I was supposed to go out on my BIL boat and decided against it as being on a boat is the last place I wanted to be being a bit dizzy feeling. After I got back from the 3 miles and showered I was feeling a bit warm. I decided to take my temp and low and behold it was 100.4 so it was a day to stay home. I had no other symptoms just a fever. So to the recliner I went and camped out for the day. Took the advil about every 4-6 hours and drank so much fluids, kept the blanket on to try and sweat it out. Temp was pretty low last night and this morning its normal.
So, what did I have?? I have no idea, but hoping that whatever it was is gone now!!!

Jeff: Nice photos especially of the food!!! Looks like a good turnout!

Hey Warriors-

I'm finally posting my April times- it's 90 miles at about 15 hours. Does that sound right? I'm thinking 10 minute miles roughly.

Alas, my May has not started off so well. I've been sick since last Monday- mostly cold like symptoms with one truly horrible night of GI related issues. My brain is a little fuzzy from the cold meds I just took (thus my inability to translate miles into hours!) Emma had strep throat- we go for a followup appointment today. I'm going to ask her doctor what the heck I caught. Sure, I'm a little old for a pediatrician, but I'll threaten to cough on her if she doesn't cure me.

Hopefully I'll be running again soon! I'll stop wallowing in self-pity now...

Tracy- hope you just have a fever!! Take care!

Jeff- love your pictures and stories as always.

Amy- happy belated birthday!

Hi Warriors! Sorry I haven't posted since last week. I had a very busy weekend. Spent 7 hours in the car on Saturday to go to the family reunion.

Then on Sunday, I got up and did a last minute 5 mile race in the rain! Yay...double miles to begin May!

So after all that and a crazy day at work yesterday, I am finally able to post my April totals (sorry...Tracy). 92.15 miles / 16:01:50. I just love what the long bike rides do to my totals!

Speed work at the track scheduled for tonight!

Have a great week Warriors!
