Morning all....
If a person can die from exhaustion, I just might. I'm soooo tired. I had a hard time keeping my eyes open driving to work today. Last night we had to run some errands and I was freezing but I felt hot. I think I really hit a wall. So I was glad today is a rest day.
For those of you following my MIL stories, here's a little ditty for you....
First some facts...As you know, this vacation is a command performance We weren't asked if we wanted to go. We were told we were. MIL booked this villa for three weeks and we told her there is no way we can stay that long. We said one week, so she booked us for ten days. My husband has four children and he shares joint custody with his ex. They have a very adversarial relationship. The second youngest girl, Lauren, is 12. Lauren asked if she could stay the whole three weeks. DH said he'd think about it but decided it was not a good idea, for reasons which I'm sure you can figure out. But apparently MIL went ahead and changed Lauren's ticket without asking DH. So she has her coming back two weeks after us, when she comes back. Now, DH has to have written permission from the ex to take the children out of the country, otherwise he can be arrested for kidnapping. He has permission for ten days. Not three weeks. He told his mother to please change the ticket back. She starts yelling at him because there is a $200 charge for that. Well, she shouldn't have changed it in the first place! And now, the plane is full, so she can't change it back. DH is NOT happy.
Mel - Oh I'm glad to hear it's just a "boring" cyst. In this case, that's really good news! OMG! The in-laws story! That's just too much!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Why did they buy there in the first place????
Helen - Oh sorta good news on the furbaby. Yes, please do keep us posted.
Anne - Hey, I'm older then Sunny! I've got a few years on her! But if you are only as old as you feel.......I must be about 78 today. I need to sleeeeeep,,,,,,, What do you mean you can't keep up with me? I doubt that! I feel way under-trained at this point. As soon as I get back I am ramping up.
Jackie - How is it possible you have looked into my fantasies??? If only my MIL would walk in front of a bus. Ok, I know that was really mean, but I ain't feelin' any love for her today. She's being a real Piece Of Work.
Jodi - Work always gets in the way, doesn't it? We have to figure out a way to eliminate that.
Carrie - That's good advice you gave Jodi. I know if I tried to train after work, it just wouldn't happen. I literally went years trying to do it after work. That's why I have to just get up early and do it. Otherwise it would just never happen. But yeah, don't sit down Jodi. Just keep moving.
Susie - OMG nooooooo! That is incredibly sad....
Cam - Hey, that sounds like a great pace to me!!
Oh no! DS13! PD that he is fine, which I'm sure he probably is, but I'm glad Howard is going. Wow, that Howard IS a hero! Donating all that blood.
I can't find any 5Ks around here.
Pat - You are, as always, an inspiration. I don't FEEL old, but once in a while it dawn on me that I'm getting up there.
Christa - I know I'm scared!
Actually, when I am slug-like, it gets me going to think of you when I was in the Diary Aisle of Stop & Shop. I remember how excited I was when you finished and I thought "Man, I want to do that some day" and now I am on my way to doing it! I can't give up now!
Krista - Oh no! What was wrong with it? And more importantly, was the officer good-looking???
I love a man in uniform! Seriously though, I'm glad you're OK. That's scarey. And not in a Jafar kind of way.
and I must say....I think I'm the old lady in the group. I just turned 49 (yikes! I can't believe I'm saying that!) and I'm just now starting this walking/running thing preparing for the half in January. What have I gotten myself into!!!!
(There was no kicking butt icon so picture him kicking your butt while he's dancing 
) You've got a race & a half to train for. O.k. lecture over, I would also suggest not sitting down when you get home. I'm the same way, if I hit that sofa I never recover. Good luck! You can do it 
I was on such a roll through Sunday, then nothing. I didn't do my yoga & strength on Monday, or my wog yesterday. 
So when you want to skip training...think of "EQ" and I will throw Jafar in for good measure! 
to you about your kitty.
Now that my baby brother (who is 8 years younger than me) is 26 I may have to at least go up to 30...or maybe not. If I am going to fib about my age...why not go all out? 
) for about 20 minutes before the state trooper made it over and pushed me to the side of the road. The police stayed with me until Stephen came and about 20-25 minutes later a tow truck came and towed my car to the Saturn dealership. My hands are still shaking over 2 hours later!!!! 
I was scheduled to do a quick shoulder workout and then run four miles. The shoulder workout was great, but when I hit the roads at 2:15 this afternoon... not so great. My 4 miler instantly became 3 before I even set out and I ended up running 2.75 miles at about 9:55/mile pace. I did most of the run on the cross country trails here, so that's not the worst time in the world, but it was sheer struggle with the humidity. Since I once again slept through running in the morning and I have interviews scheduled all afternoon, it was really the only time to do it. DEFINATELY waking up earlier tomorrow morning!!
I actually wore out the first pair, never thought I'd do something like that. My final shoe choices ended up being ASICs and Brooks. I went with the Brooks. They felt good on the 4 mile run this morning. I'm still having some outer hip pain, I think from improper stretching so I'm running easy and doing more swimming. I hope it heals soon.
