30's Weekend July 14/15- Where's Your Mojo?

cranegirl · Jul 14, 2007

Morning! 
I'm up incredibly early for a weekend--still struggling with sleep. I realized that when I went from CR to KR, that I also stopped posting the calendar and don't really know who is running what this weekend other than Theia and possibly Pacer and I would guess SR? 
I'll get the calendar back up in my signature when I find the link again! 
Although I don't do the LL family album or the BoBcam justice, here are some trip I thought I'd share: 
Hiking in the true tropical rain forest: Mt Wai'ale'ale <img alt="" src="http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa178/cranegirl_photo/MtWaleleele.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> 
South Shore of Kaua'i: <img alt="" src="http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa178/cranegirl_photo/AViewwithaRoom.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> 
North Shore of Kaua'i: <img alt="" src="http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa178/cranegirl_photo/NapaliCoast.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> 
Yeah, it's hard to be back, but I'm also glad for a bit less sun and humidity! 
Happy running today all...and remember if you can run fast, run pretty. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

Morning Melis! 
BEAUTIFUL photos! I'm having some trouble sleeping lately too. grf. 
I woke up feeling dehyrdated, but as soon as I take the edge of that I think a run might help so I'm off. No set distance for me, just one foot in front of the other 'til I'm done. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
No QOD from me. 
Great runs and weekends to all of you.

Great pics, crane! 
Up early thinking good thoughts for Theia on her Du. 
Also thinking grumpy thoughts about DS, who had a terrible night of sleeping last night. I love the kid dearly, but the howling at 1:30AM has got to stop. It's not night terrors or anything; he just wants Mommy. And DD was already camped out on our floor because she didn't want to sleep in her bed. 
Anyhow, <img alt="coffee2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/coffee2.gif"><img alt="coffee.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/coffee.gif"> then Spin class.

ScratchType1 · Jul 14, 2007

Good luck to Theia at the du. Do the du. 
I went out and did the short loop for my easy week long run. Shaved off about 2.5 minutes in time at the same feeling sort of easy pace from about 3 weeks ago. I also crossed over the 100 mile mark in the process. 
I don't watch Youtube at work. I've been with a 56K modem at home, but yesterday a high speed connection was put in. So of course I spent some time last evening looking at Youtube stuff. This one is a bit odd. <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=GMTuvnENPZk" target="_blank">http://youtube.com/watch?v=GMTuvnENPZk</a>

Spin class is out, because DS is awake but DH is not. Crap. Good thing this kid is cute, that's all I gotta say. 
Just thought I would keep you all posted because I know you really need to know all the minutiae of my life.

Nettie · Jul 14, 2007

I wanna know Diane!!!! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

cranegirl · Jul 14, 2007

You are too funny. Please let us know when you shower and/or brush your teeth. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
I'm out the door to run to some really great music SOMEONE sent me. Yea!

DrChris · Jul 14, 2007

Good run Jen! Great pics Melis. 
It is a good thing they are cute Diane. 
Running. Left ankle sore this morning. Does not appear to be a running injury, yet running makes it worse. Reminder to self to not do Tri's without more preparation. 
Leaving this part of paradise tomorrow. 
BTW, I fear we've become the RMAD thread. Maybe we need two threads - one for the IM stuff and one for a digest version of our day. Just a thought.

Morning gang. 
I'm up a bit early too waiting for the Verizon tech. to come swap out my Fios modem. It's one of those "he'll be there between 8 AM and 10:20 AM deals. I'm guess it'll be closer to 10:20 AM when he shows. 
Nothing planned for today. I will be doing the backyard camp out with DD1 tonight so I'll have to get cracking on the tent, fire pit etc. later in the day. 
Cool pictures Crane. I would love to get there again someday with the family. I'm just not sure the kids would survive the flight. 
Still no running for me. My leg feels better, not 100% though and I'm just not going to push it with marathon training on the horizon. 
Sorry you missed class Diane. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> 
Have a good run Jen! 
Hope the ankle feels better soon Chris. 
Nice job on the run Scratch. 
That's all from me for now. Have a great weekend everyone!

PacerChris · Jul 14, 2007

Agree - I can't keep up! 
Camping went fine - I even got some sleep!

Jess22 · Jul 14, 2007

Good morning friends! 
Count me as another person having trouble sleeping. I did not get up and run. Four hours of sleep...just couldn't do it. I'm hoping for later on tonight though. Crane Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing! Diane Sorry to hear that you aren't getting your spinning in. Maybe later? Jen Have a great run. Sometimes those are the best. Chris I hope your ankle gets better soon. Scratch Great job! That's awesome for you! Nettie Good morning! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> LLcamper Have fun tonight! 
Okay...In-laws are here and more family coming in later this morning. We're heading off to do lots of stuff this afternoon. Must.get.caffine.

Maples · Jul 14, 2007

Where's my mojo? Well it seems it's been missing for some time. I think he <img alt="" src="http://www.kurthanson.com/images/screenshots/0703/fat_bastard.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> 
might have stolen it. The fat bastard. How dare he!

Jess22 · Jul 14, 2007

Also... Best of luck to Theia, Pacer and SR...right???? Sorry if I missed anybody racing today. 
DH is frying bacon...smells great...

dob259 · Jul 14, 2007

Good morning everyone. 
Good Luck Theia. Crane those are nice pics. I've never been. Hopefully sometime in the future. 
I ran 5 yesterday. Today is an off day and there is plenty of yardwork to do. I don't have cool yardwork clothes like Roo. Oh well.

lgreenberg · Jul 14, 2007

Yay, the Verizon tech. dude just called to say he'll be here in 15 minutes!

spacedaisy · Jul 14, 2007

helloooooo, peeps! it's saturday, it's not too too early, but i'm still surprised to see so many of you weighing in already. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
i'm nursing some coffee and getting a mailing ready for a gallery. i'll hit the pavement soon before it gets too hot. lori, how's your uncle, sweetie? sending good well-wishes your way for him... theia, rock that du. lil miss oh-i-think-i'll-start-biking-too-and-see-if-i'm-any-good-at-it. <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> you should make an itinerary to try all the sports you haven't conquered yet. it would be fun to watch you power through them. 
yeeeeeah, melis! i love photos!!! tell us a little story about the trip? 
i just quoted you in our KR dictionary, dear jenny. heh. 
all the lovely rest of you, good morning good morning. happy trails to you all! 
ps - diane. what if you simply submit to being a curly-headed girl? i feel your pain. i do *not* have straight hair in the summer. but there might be worse things than having pirate hair...

McTortle · Jul 14, 2007

Happy Saturday All!! Melis. . .sigh. . .looks amazing. . . Theia Hope the DU is fabulous for you! Other racers Speedy thoughts to you all!! 
Had the best of intentions to come home and work out last night. Slightly derailed when DH took us to a restaurant instead of home (the dangers of carpooling. . .no control over where you end up. . .<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">). Had a fantastic meal and bottle of Pinot Noir, then ran through the rain to see Order of the Phoenix. Felt like we were 18 again. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> Best part is there's a dog show happening in Duluth right now and we cut through the parking lot with all the trailers/campers with the dogs. . . 
Today's DH's company party. Unlike mine where showing up early and leaving late is usually how we work it, his we show up late and leave really early. More time at home, then. 
We are also beer shopping today, and I'm writing up my curriculum for the class. . .Just sos you know. . .<img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> 
Hope everyone has lovely and safe Saturdays!!

Morning all - Already been up and raced today (time difference works sometimes), so good luck to others racing around today. I have a full report on my blog (follow the link below). 
Tonigh, there is a free concert in the Square right outside my apartment. It's World Music, but should be cool, and we'll be heading down to enjoy the evening. Can't say I have ever heard of the musicians, Konono No 1, Tarwater, and Cap Pas Cap - but should be fun. 
Have a great weekend everyone - Catch you soon, 
Liam

spacedaisy · Jul 14, 2007

HI, liam!

mykemp1971 · Jul 14, 2007

Have a good run Jen 
Nice pictures Melis looks like a perfect place. LL I meant to say something last night - but I like your new ink - I've been to that lighthouse a few times (in fact I've been to most of the OBX lighthouses). 
Runningwise - I managed 16 miles this morning at about 8:20 pace. I ran the first 7 pretty easy... then I did 30 mins of interval work... then I just hung in for a few miles until I finished up. The last two miles were more of the chugging along "I think I can - I think I can" variety. 
I'm off to Maryland now for a wedding... 
Oh, and shameless self promotion... I'm selling my Garmin 201 on ebay if anyone's interested.
