Wk of Apr 29--WISH Walking/Running Club

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

I got my 3 mile run in....thought it was supposed to be a 5 today, but this week tapers off in anticipation of my race this weekend. Anyhow, I finished in 32:26 for a 10:49/mi pace. Not too bad overall.

Good luck to all those running the Pig or other races this weekend!

We never get to re-live our first races. However, we do it vicariously when we help others make it to their first races!

Hey guys....I haven't been on in awhile and just wanted to stop in and say hi. Training is going well....did my 4 mile walk today and some weight training afterwards. I only have 3 weeks left til my family weight loss competition is over and it looks like my best friend will win. So far I've lost 17 pds. and hopefully I can loose another 5 before it's over.

Well, I tried using an insert on one shoe. Feels weird, but it may be better. It could eb the fact hat I only did 30 min and did it very slowly. I'll go with teh insert helping, though.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I am in boring training for work...

But wanted to do a quick shout out to Lily and say Happy Anniversary!

 

[Big Vic]

Good evening everyone! Very busy day today.

XT’d last night. Upper body exercises. Ended the session with 10 burpees. They about killed me.

Tonight was 3.1 miles on the TM. Nothing significant to report.

Lily – Happy Anniversary!

Bill – Glad to hear you were able to get a run in.

Bekkiz – Glad to hear you and your fake running partner had a great run.

Cindy – Great pics!

Stephanie – You speedster, you!

Jackie – Way to go!.

Christa – Great run!

I know I missed some folks, and for that I apologize.

Y'all take care.

Hi Cam, Judy, and Carrie - you girls be good at the Minnie.

Ha Ha! Whereas I do not have to Ha!


Hi WISH Team!

Flying Pig WISH Team, Have a great event weekend. I look forward to the pics and reports.

Minnies, Oooooh we're almost there!

Thanks for the Anniversary WISHES, they are fun to receive.

Jeanne, thanks for saying I inspired you. Glad to be of service!

I have to focus on today, looking at that big picture (half marathon in Jan) is daunting.

One step at a time. You will do it and do it well! You've got enough time to get those steps in. I'm happy you are training with us.

It is fun to have so many new WISH Team members going along in the training with us and that we have kept many of our members. We are a great group aren't we.

Goin' to sleep now, no really, I am.

Hey all!

It's been an LTO kind of week. Tonight was the first time that DH and I got out to walk/run in awhile (longer than I'd care to admit!). But we got 2.25 in at 33:50.

Wanted to drop in and say GOOD LUCK to everyone going to the Minnie and the Flying Pig this weekend! Can't wait to hear all about the races!

 

[Optimator]

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to chime in with my support for everyone as they depart for their races. Enjoy yourselves (but be aware that Cam's bail fund for Kristi may not be enough to get 10 or 15 of you out of lock-up!).

Bill - Don't you just love the laws of inverse proportion? The smaller the kid, the larger the load. I was so excited when we got away without a car top carrier on our trip down last summer!

Training/tapering has been going just fine. The prospect of a LR of only 4 miles is a sweet thing sometimes.

Now if I could only get a little more sleep! Working the night shift, sleeping during the day is just fine except... We have a completely wacko robin that keeps trying to fly through the closed bedroom window. Every hour or so he (has to be a he with such a lousy sense of direction, right ladies?) gets back from a worm run or whatever and just beats himself silly trying to fly through the closed window.

I finally put a big tape "X" on the glass so the idiot could see something other than the reflection of trees and what does he do? Hits the glass next to the X. It did seem to slow him down a bit.

If nothing else, I guess I'm ready for a hurricane with the window taped up.

Good Morning Team:

I'm still tapering for the Pig next week. I did another 30 min SWOG in the pool yesterday. My legs are feeling good. I may run today as I have another training day with my princesses, DD6 and DD9 . As incentive/reward for their successful training, I thought maybe we could go to Baskin Robbins. It's 31 cent scoop night tonight.

Judy- did you hear me? It's 31 cent scoop night at Baskin Robbins. Am I still your friend now?

Ok, I just figured out where Krista and I are going to have dinner tonight! Does that count as carb loading??

Hope everyone's having a good week. I'm still tied to my office working on my proposal. I've got two more short runs this week before the Pig on Sunday. So, Denny, M'Lisse, Erica, Dave, Wendy, Dave, Diane, Susan, Cathy, and my lovely DW Krista.....are you guys ready to fly like Pigs this weekend?? Is anyone else just a little excited?!?!?!

You know, I had no idea exactly how many of us were doing the Minnie this weekend until I jumped on that thread and looked at the list. Between the Pig, Minnie, and other races, we should have a whole lot of race reports to catch up on next week. So much for a productive Monday morning at work.

Keep up the good work, everyone. Sorry I didn't get to do individual responses--I'll try to catch up on Friday. Talk to you guys later!

Steve

To all ya'll Flying Pigs: Go Team!!

Not much to report from me. Had a rest day yesterday--from running that it--the kids were little terrors; I'm so ready to leave on Friday! today will be an easy 3 miler, just trying to keep my legs loose.

Mike--Good luck this weekend. This is your first marathon, right? I've got butterflies for you! Hope you can get some sleep, what is it with those kamikaze birds????

carrie--good luck with the inserts

 

[Kristi1357]

Enjoy yourselves (but be aware that Cam's bail fund for Kristi may not be enough to get 10 or 15 of you out of lock-up!).

I wonder how that works...if the holder of the bail fund (Cam) is in the lock-up herself...

Dave - thanks for posting the Basking Robbins thing for today. We don't want to get in trouble with Judy! Did you do free pizza day at Pizza Hut yesterday? I slept through it and remembered it at about 10pm last night. Oops!

I'll be thinking of all our Flying Pigs!

Go Minnies, go Minnies!

I will check in next week.
I have a bazillion things to do before my flight tomorrow afternoon!

 

[KelNottAt]

Mike,
Where are you racing this weekend? Is it Frederick? Something in the back of my head makes me think so.

I'll be walking the half, and DH will be running the half. Maybe our paths will cross. We'll be the couple with two groggy, mopey teenagers looking for a place to nap while we're out on the course. (In order for us to get a parking space at HG stadium we'll have to drag the kids out of bed at 4:45 am. )

Good luck!
Kelley

Good morning TEAM!!!!! Yesterday was a stonker, made it a mile and then called it quits. I think it was a combo of the temp being 85 and wearing big heels to work (I know, I know ). I'm not too worried about the stonker though, as I know it was a fluke. I am SO ready for the Pig on Sunday! I can't believe it's this weekend. This past Sunday I was wondering what my lr was this weekend, then I remembered!

Minnie Runner's--Good luck everyone!!! Have a fabulous time, but not too fabulous of a time!!!! How long is everyone staying for Minnie? Stephen and I will be arriving in WDW on Friday (May 11) morning. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelley--Good luck on your half!! I cannot wait to see how you do. Pass the on to your DH.

Mike/Optimator--Rockin' robin, tweet, tweet, tweet. Rockin' robin, tweet, tweet, tweet. Ol' rockin' robin is really going to rock tonight. Good luck on your marathon!!!!!!!!!

Christa--Thinking about you. I'll be praying tomorrow.

Carrie--Thanks for asking about Shari. Still no word, obviously things move slower at that hospital. She is home, so at least she isn't bored out of her mind in a hospital room. Good luck with those inserts, I'm going to give mine another try after the Pig.

Lily--Congrats on 30 years!!!!!!!!!!! Try to keep those girls in line this weekend.

Stephen--I can TOTALLY do ice cream for dinner.

Bill--Stephen and I have already planned on getting a bigger vehicle when we have kids. I just don't think a Saturn Ion will be big enough! Plus if we have Hines and the baby both in the backseat, I know my baby will be covered in slobber and hair. Not that that won't happen anyway!

I know I missed people, I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great day everyone!!!

Dave - thanks for posting the Basking Robbins thing for today. We don't want to get in trouble with Judy! Did you do free pizza day at Pizza Hut yesterday? I slept through it and remembered it at about 10pm last night. Oops!

No, unfortunately I forgot all about the free Pizza thing. Oh well.

 

[Big Vic]

Good morning everyone!

Another busy day today. Interviews. I hate interviews.

To the Minnie participants - Hope you guys have a great time.

I've contacted my counterpart at the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The appropriate BOLO (Be On the Lookout) has been issued. Who's holding the bail fund again?

Mikey(Optimator) - Y'all got some weird wildlife up there.

Take care.

 

[wtpclc]

Steve - If it helps, I won't post my race report until Tue or Wed. You guys have a great time this weekend!

Krista - I'm keeping Shari in my prayers. I'm so glad she's home, but answers are nice. I'll be for you in spirit! There should be a ton of PD flying from Orlando to CIncinatti!

OptiMike - We'd better get working on that bail fund. Yikes! I can throw in my leftover toll money. (Don't ask how I'll get back to teh airport.)

BTW - It's official wear your running shoes to work week now. At least that's what I'm telling everyone. I can tell my muscles are not used to tipping the other way, so I want all the time possible to get used to this. Then, I'll get the semi-customs next week. (and need to get used to those.... )

 

[Honeibee]

Good morning racing team -

Today was a rest day, so I slept in a bit.

Well, this is it for me. I have to get thru this work day, a doctor's appointment this afternoon, then I am done! I've taken tomorrow off to make sure everything is ready at home, seeing as for the first time ever, Charlie is staying home to take care of the horses. I'm sure he'll do just fine. I got him trained.

I won't be back until late Wednesday night, so I won't be posting a trip report until probably the end of the week at best. I'm doing a solo day at Epcot and then the MK.

Dave - LOL! OK, got it! 31 cents Baskin Robbins! Thanks, friend!

Kristi - Come on! WHY do you guys keep this kind of stuff from me??? FREE PIZZA!? Yesterday???? Oh Kristi, I thought we were friends....

Vic - Does your counterpart the Orange County Sheriff's Office have their own handcuffs?

OK everyone. See a lot of you Friday and the rest of you next week!
