Must clarify--- sign up for MelR's ultra or Mel's link to tracking :rotfl:
:rotfl2: You have to ask? Me? 50 miles? I feel honored, but I meant the tracking. Excuse me, need to wipe the tears of laughter out of my eyes. ;)
 
I think MelR and Colleen have been bad influences this week I'm thinking "hey, if they can cut their LRs in half, I can, too! Why be so rigid"

Alright!!! I've actually totally decided i'm doing a modified hal higdon marthon for seniors (experienced runners, not runners w/ a certain hair color) program. It is only 8 weeks and most of hte time requires a LR of 10-12 miles. There is one 16 and one 20. His program is meant to get yor ready for the marathon w/ out racking up the high weekly mileage and thus reducing the risk of injury. I figure i get enough cardio and endurance training in anyway w/ the biking paddling and adv. racing.

Yes carrie, i wanted to know too. I have lots of space w/ walk out basement so... bring it on (or are you saving up your visit for next year's mean girls' half ironman?)
 
OMG! I'm gone for a bit and all FUN! breaks out. Sorry I missed the swollen DIS green squishies we become, weight limit on nose hair, gray hairs--won't go there but I do feel "guilty" when asked for driver license renewal I have no idea what the color is; my hairdresser keeps playing with it. :lmao: Oh well add this to the intimate discussions of farmers blow, chaffing and all else we have had as time goes and we are a FUN! group aren't we!
:teeth:
Mel, my thought is to keep the list...actually I often refer to it when my old brain forgets who is paired to the screen name. In January we could start over with all of us and carry it through another year maybe. That way there is not "sifting" and less work. I love the alpha list though really. Thread title, well hafta think on that too. I like what we use and then offering to others to join in if they want. Maybe we could go for "longest thread title award and work with ...Wk of ... WISH Walking/Running/Marathon/Half and all Events Club! Um, I forget what else you pondered. Thank you for sure for all the work you put in for us to have a place to go each week.

I'm on target this week for my steps. I was outside yesterday since it was such great weather, I just came home, changed and literally ran out the door to play in the neighborhood. I usually don't like to do this but it's desparate. Not sure how I'm going to get the steps tonight done. We've got way lots on the plate after work.

OT--Seems that the new car I bought has complicated the life of the dealer: :furious: New car saga...DH gets a call from the dealer yesterday that we need to come back ASAP b/c there is a problem with the paperwork and we need to bring $500 more! THEY made a mistake and offered us a $500 rebate that was not authorized. Hmmm, I did not find "ASAP" convenient yesterday since I was at work when he called me having a rough work day and Ted was at work scheduled for a long day at his place too. I don’t get how it’s my problem. I have a car; I have a signed loan agreement—for which I was approved before we left the dealer—they have our trade-in; we are going tonight to hear why it is my problem. I am not interested in paying extra money...sounds like the old "switcheroo" bait and switch to me. For the $$$ they want (they boast that they are the biggest Cobalt dealer in the US (not just the area), I think they can come up with something. I cannot believe that I am taking everything out of the car I started to make "mine," going to spend extra gas $ since they are clear across town from where we are, and give them hours of our time over an error they made for $500. I am planning on telling them they can have the car, return our trade-in and I will drive that back and forth to work until I decide to do something else. If they want to call off the deal for this, so be it. We have a dealer that is 2 miles (walking distance for me) and only went across town b/c DH does business with them from work. It just doesn't sound right.
:furious: :furious: :furious:

I know I will get in a good destressing TM workout tonight, but it will be late. I also have plans to get to "Diva Night" at the running store and I want/need to get there too. (Discounted ladies wear lots of things)

Looks like LRs this weekend are going to be cold. I hope the snow doesn't stick.
 

I thought the trial was over and I was just waiting on a decision, but it isn't. I just got a call from the Director of the Santuary to please come tomorrow. So I'll be driving upstate tomorrow. I'll have to leave the house at 5:30am. Thank goodness it's a XT day. I better go to bed at 6:00pm tonight!

Shoot. (only because I can't say anything stronger here although this particular occasion really calls for it.)

Please send all the :wizard: you can muster. I think we're going to need it.

:sad2:

I'm putting this out there so I don't get yelled at--- I may be postponing my LR tomorrow due to the weather.
Now, who would yell at you? :rolleyes1 :teeth:

I'm up to about 8 in the tracking myself. It's way too early to be this ditracted already. :blush:

Hey Judy! You got all your names entered yet? You couldn't possible be working with such huge news out today! ;)

For the scrapbookers out there - I track Scott and myself with messages to e-mail. They are cool to put in the book later.
 
MelR - I did actually follow the link and even converted 50K to miles. However, 30 miles struck me just as ridiculous and quickly left my brain. I almsot forgot about the mean girls race. Still don't see me making it, but it'd be a heck of a lot of fun if I lived through it.

Sorry, my laziness has me speaking in code today. Have you enetered the names for the people you want to track during the marathon yet? I thought you'd be al over that. ;) You've had other things on your mind today, though. :( SOrry the Misty ordeal is not gettign better. At least they get to hear from you now, though!
 
Wait! How are you guys doing all of this tracking stuff? You know the carriers of all your friends and relatives cell phones :confused3 Or are you just doing email?

Lily Ugh on the dealer. I had that very same problem once, but in my case they forgot to put in the sales tax. I argued with them for a while and then paid my dumb sales tax. But in your case, I would definitely return the car if they don't eat their own mistake.

Oh please. :rolleyes:

I did that HOURS ago!


:rotfl:
 
Sunny - You just need your friends' names. It goes to your cell phone. You send the link to yout friends and family if they want to track you.

Lily - We had a problem like that when we bought our house. Or lender called us a month later and told us she cold not sell our mortgage off, as we needed more insurance. I thought that sounded like her problem. My insurance agent told me that we asking for mor than the value of the house and that's illegal in MI. He said it happens all the time and most people just don' tfeel ilke fighting it and asked if he oculd fight it for us. He did. We won. Hope you get this worked out!

Kevin - You are right! Last year tracking was just at start, half and finish. Most of those did not work anyway. :rolleyes: Maybe they're adding more points so that if we only get 50%, we'll sitll end up better than last year. ;) I ws very glad that it was working better for the full.
 
So is the Live Tracking only available for cell phones?? I know people that don't get email or texting on their phones, but would like to receive the info on their regular email. Is this possible? Please tell me it is!!!!
