I stopped to fiddle with my MP3 this morning and thought of you while telling myself that I shouldn't be doing that!
And the display worked the entire time (or at least until I started the cooldown - then it went completely blank again!) I redid my entire playlist Sunday night so I had all new music this morning - made the run a lot more fun!
Mike - in full disclosure, it is my sister that wins ALL the time on the radio! She calls for anything and everything. In January alone she has won the Pink Mix Lounge tix, Justin Timberlake tix, VIP tix for the Deal Or No Deal Auditions, $50 Home Depot g.c., 4 Sunapee ski passes & a CD. (I think I am missing a couple things) I am just the recipient of the things she really doesn't want - or that she knows I *really* want.
She is really, really lucky when it comes to the radio call-in contests for some reason.
and Colleen and we were running through our 1st 3 miles through a dark EPCoT. The journey had begun.
and our other princess DD6 could spend the whole day at her daycare center (which she loves). DD9 and I had a great day. In the morning she stayed in her jammies reading Calvin and Hobbes and watched some TV while I worked on my grant. At lunchtime I asked her if she wanted to go to the gym with me. Her eyes lit up, and I said that I was going to SWOG and she could come swim with me. We bundled all up to walk the 10 min walk from the parking lot to the gym (it was brutally cold) and hopped in the pool. We had the best time. She got a noodle and a beach ball while I SWOGged. She would toss me the beach ball, and I would throw it back while swogging. She would swim beside me and circles around me while I swogged. We chatted, and she provided me water stops handing me my water bottle from the side of the pool. We had a great day. While walking back to the car she said, "Dad, I was really hoping that Mom would stay home with me on this snow day, but I'm really having a lot of fun with you." had a meltdown at home. Wow, what a difference a week makes. It was night and day, and we had a great time. I just wanted to make sure I gave you all the good news too instead of just sharing the bad. Thanks again for all your support.Don't those moments make it all worthwhile?
I also weighted in this morning 165, that is my lowest weight in years.....yahoooo
I need to go run, swim, bike or something this morning before work, but I am just so tired! I feel like I have slacked so much and I am worried it is going to mess me up training wise...even though I am really not training for anything. I haven't had time to run this week and only biked for 30 min on Monday.
to all the new people! THis place is great!
) This will be the first time that I actually have a chance at beating him but the way I see it, I lose either way.
Christa - I often feel the same way. I think i become amotivated when my workouts are not social. I cannot stand to workout alone!!! After bible study and mocha, I'm planning on forcing myself to ride the trainer (as opposed to doing anything of value outside) b/c it is cold and at least the tv can give me some company!! Really, all you need to do is schedule a big race of some sort or another and say that you are currently "tapering"
!
Pig, pig, pig, pig!!!!! You could do the Flying Pig Full Marathon with the WISH team! Colleen and Wendy are making our North Carolina contingent, and there's talk of them sharing a ride to Cincy.I think you are right about this. I am a VERY social runner! I am signed up for a 1/2 marathon in April, and excited about this b/c I am running with my sister. But...this just does not seem like a challenge for me. I need a marathon or tri or something. I do have the century, but it is in September.
I did get my butt into gear and run 4 miles today. I ave an 8:45 pace. Gotta get ready for work
I love my Garmin! Jen, I have to ask you a stupid question. Was it you sitting on the ground across from me the morning of the Half? I'm terrible with names (thus the name tags) and I met so many people in like 48 hours that weekend so please please please don't take it personally. 
I'm so glad you're coming to the Minnie. It was relatively warmer here this morning - 12 degrees! Whoo hooo! 
Who cares about the sissy clip. Are you there to impress people or work out? Who cares what they think! And don't make me come down there and give that Scott a piece of my mind, cause I don't have that much to spare. He better not be looking at you in disgust. It better be loving concern and he better whip up a really nice dinner tonight to make up for it. So there!
How incredibly sweet! I am so happy you had such a great time together. Those are the times to remember.
