Becky: Your running group sounds like so much fun! I'm sure you'll enjoy it, maybe even more than your Fleet Feet job. I'm sure you'll get sick of us peppering you with questions.
Helen: I love hearing about your adventures. I haven't been on a horse since I was probably 8 or so, and I can imagine the language I'd use now that I didn't know then! Congrats for adding a couple of halfs to your schedule.
Bill: Good job on the runs for everyone in the family. I wonder if Timmy is just trying to motivate Lynnda to move a bit quicker??
Allyson: I'm so glad you're making progress on C25K and enjoying the podcasts; they drive me a bit nutters. And I love the plan for the check & TM; I'm trying to convince DOOD that it could go toward another trip to Disney.
WWDave: Too bad about extra work, as it interferes with spending time with us or training, but I'm glad to hear your tendon is better!
Krista: It's so great to hear that you're feeling well & buying things. (It's called nesting, right?) I love the color combo of the bedding. It's such an exciting time, and I love hearing all the details.
Angie: 
on the work situation & on the frustrating run. I hope things get better soon.
Stacie: Another tankini fan here...if you can get me into a bathing suit.
Heather: It's good to hear from you--and to know you're keeping on track with your schedule!
Craig: Paris. I'm envious! But you deserve the time, as that academic schedule can really wear you down.
Carrie: Yea on the yoga! I know what you mean about coordination. My instructor kindly kept coming over to me to "guide me" into the correct positions.
Judy: WTG with the 3-miler. And
for doing those halfs. I liked reading how just getting to the start can be a challenge--so true! You SHOULD be proud.
Jen: That must be an awesome campsite! It just has to be warm in April because you really deserve it after this winter you've been having.
Maura: You're doing awesome on your training!
Definitely sign up for something, if for nothing more than to test your race-day strategies out before the Minnie. And I can't believe I'm about to say this to someone on another team,
but race miles count double for the challenge!
Z: Good news that you'll be back (relatively) soon & have a race scheduled. Another marker in the Goofy training. I also think it's great that you're making races a family event.
Kristi: on the job search. I know how challenging and frustrating it can be. I'm sorry to hear you're so burnt out at your current job, too, as that makes your job search even more stressful.
Liz: Core work. *Shudder.* But so necessary.
Kira G.: If it's any consolation, it's snowing in Pgh right now, so maybe you'll get some if it drifts the right way across the state. I'm glad you're having a good training week!
Martha: Good for you for not slacking while your trainer is away. One of the trainers at my club was saying the other day that he breaks up with clients who aren't motivated to work on their own. He'd love you!
As for me: Another day on the TM, etc., but the MOST IMPORTANT news is that last night DOOD tells me we're going away for a 4-day weekend to celebrate my 40th b-day in April...to WDW! He wanted to keep it a surprise but decided he should tell me just enough about it so I don't make other plans. He's making all the arrangements in secret, except for the flight, and just wants me to tell him if there's something special he should add to the mix. DOOD likes Disney all right, but not as much as I do, and he's usually happy to let my type-A-ness take over. So the fact he's planning this whole trip is the best part of the whole b-day celebration.
Oh, and I know exactly what you mean about having the guts to start the half marathon by yourself. For my first half at Disney in 2006, I talked my Mom into training and doing the half so I would have someone with me. We didn't run together, but we hung out before the race started and stayed together at the start. You should be very proud of yourself!
Only kidding - love you!). But I left my yoga bag/mat in the minivan. Which Chad has in Boston with him at work. Argh! This is the issue when you have 3 cars - you always leave what you "need" in another car! I think they have some community mats, if so I will use that. Otherwise, I will bike or something.
But such is the life in a control room. Time to move on. Way too burnt out!
to get better soon!
Gotta go to TECH practice at church, just wanted to share my good news with my TEAM 
I worked the road that goes up there backward and discovered that right where it meets the main highway that comes up from the valley was the 13 mile mark.
