Jodi- I really enjoyed my running group so much last Saturday, and I'm looking forward about getting out there and running with them again. Don't be embarrassed about being at the back of the pack. Be happy with what you are doing, enjoy being with the group, and just do the best you can do. I hear you about conditioning to the roads though. I need to do that too. My shins are still feeling a little twinge this week that makes me a little concerned about my run with the group on Saturday.
Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I walked 3 miles on the treadmill last night in 40:11. I felt really good afterward, no knee pain!!! I was concerned my knee would hurt during the walk because it hurt a little during the day. I think the culprit was wearing heels all day. Wish me good luck tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to run 6 miles, this will be the first time I will run since March 12.
tomorrow! I'll be thinking about you. What time do you start? on your run! That is awesome. Do you like the Leslie Sansone DVD's? I've heard good things about her, but I've never done one before. I've heard they are quite the workout.
Granted, I'm not using it, but I still learned it!

It is amazing all the movement around. I didn't know the Pats cut Vinitari. I just figured he left in the free agent moves. It's amazing to me that the Colts got rid of Vanderjagt. I think the year before last he didn't miss a kick the entire regular season. I have to admit I was a HUGE Vanderjagt fan in the playoff game against the Steelers this year.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out with TO in Dallas. He just seems so toxic to a locker room.
aladdinsgirl said:Cam--When do you leave for Disney? Take lots of pictures to show us! I meant to tell you the other day, I was very impressed with your daughter. It just shows what a good upbringing she has had, to accept the punishment and then go on. Your son's play sounds wild and fun! Tell him to break a leg!!
Do you guys think I talk too much? Stephen told me last night that he saw my 15 page disseration from yesterday. I just tell him, "hello, what do you think my degree (broadcasting) is in?"
BUT (excuse the pun) if you imagine how the leg moves on that swivel, my swivel isn't working. It's like someone karate chopped it and misaligned it or something, because it just isn't right. I am really really hoping I can get out for a walk tomorrow, even if it is a very slow pace, and that I will be "all better" by the time I leave next Thursday night.
February was a tough month with the flu and that pretty much ended the training at that point and the races we were supposed to run in February and March but I am fully back and ready to go again. DH and I are training for 2 5K's in April. I think they're back to back week wise but I need to verify that. We are running at the Fort Worth Zoo (I want to run that one just to see the animals at 7 in the morning) and then one at a local University. I can't wait! 
Thinking of everyone who is sick here 
. Hope you all get well soon....and loads of pixie dust....Carrie, Sunny, Papa, Judy, Helen, Beth, Dana...and anyone else I forgot!!! Rest rest rest!!! . Well, not as difficult as usual. More toning, etc. Which was good....especially after yesterdays run was less than stellar. Tomorrow is REST day! We'll see if I can pull 3.5 miles out of my hat on Sunday. Still not sure how that is going to happen . Makes me wonder how 26.2 will EVER happen!!!! 
. Ouch! Sounds painful....don't hesitate to visit a doc if it doesn't feel better soon!!! 
. Also....back to running....GOOD LUCK on your run this weekend! 
. Here I've been upset that I don't have anyone to run with etc etc and my SIL.....of all people....has been training to run too! Then she goes on to tell me she's then training to run a 10K and possibly a 1/2 marathon in the fall! We were laughing...and giddy with excitement. Because we now have a running buddy! And it's great b/c I love her and she lives near me! Talk about lack of communication in my family! Wouldn't it have been hilarious if we ran into each other, literally, during the race! Anyway...I had to share b/c I'm on 
. We talked for an hour about running and training etc etc! Very very cool!

He is an Australian Sheperd. He'll be fine. He LOVES long walks. This was his first LONG walk in about a year. But he and I used to do 5 miles a day. And I used to take him to an area where he could chase the deer. He could NEVER get close, but he sure liked trying!
), but I will definitely come down and cheer you on! I was talking football at work the other day and someone suggested that the Steelers pick up TO. I was like, hello! Could you see TO with Cowher or Dan Rooney?? He can't even get along with Andy Reid. on Sunday. I can't wait to see your piggie pictures!!
How was your walk?
I am ready for this week to be over. It was a good week just really, really busy.
You better post some picts with those pig noses! to you for that. Don't be a stranger! That is the funniest thing I've ever heard. There is absolutely no way TO would fit in with the Steelers. That person didn't have a clue about what they were talking about. Come on - this is a team of unselfish players. Plaxico Burress couldn't even fit in with Cowher there would be absolutely no way TO could work for the Steelers.Drew Brees went to the Saints. Now, people are thinking the Saints won't get one of the top QBs in the draft. He's definitely a good one, but I guess there is the question about his arm injury at the end of last season. I always liked watching him when he was at Purdue. My father went to Purdue so I always kind of rooted for them - except when they are playing Michigan.
I made peace with the dreadmill and have been using it more often to decrease impact and stress on my foot. It's healing, but slowly. I haven't worn heels to work all week which has helped a lot, but still can't stand on our tile floors barefoot for very long. I've started the R/W plan from MFM to train up for the Minnie. I can't believe I scheduled these 3 major races and now I'm down to training for the last one I am surprised that Vinatieri moved...interested in hearing more about that. Oh, and I'm getting my resume together...I hear there's a commisioner job up for grabs and there's a meeting to discuss it in Orlando next week. Wonder if I could take some time off work... 
to Darcey, Kristi, MdmMim! for Sunny, Carrie and Cam! Hope you're all feeling better soon! I think Kaley is now like the name Kelly was when I was in school(I always had at least one Kelly in every class), only there's soooo many more ways to spell it.
