Oh yeah! How 'bout them Bruins!
 
I'm up late. Lots of beer and a just a little celebrating going on around these parts. 
I hope to get a workout in sometime today to burn those OH- calories.
 
Make it a good one.
Cheers
 
I'm pumped!

Good to see you Dan!!!
 
5 for me this morning.

cranegirl · Jun 16, 2011

Morning, Dan, morning Kath!!
 
Kath, are you on estby by chance??
 
It's been stormy here and promises to be a sweatbath today for the 6 I gotta go do right now. Been also in with the P90x (not doing it as much as the sherpa boy-just 3-4 times per week). Love the kempo and yoga. HATE plyometrics and arms. I am a pull up fail--can only do two without the chair.
 
I have to orient the new students today--this is not always my fave day mostly due to parents--I reallly need a vacation--but will deal.
 
Loved reading the "what are you grateful for" responses yesterday. Too many things to count, but today, I'm happy I can use my legs.
 
Oh, I got the NB minimus shoes for trail hiking. Started wearing them around the house and for a few runs. They are good, except for seams in some weird places. Comfy!
 
Have a great day, all!

Hey all!!
 
Dan you are too funny!!!
 
Hey Kath, how's the back after your chiro appt?
 
Hey Craney!!! I don't do traditional pull ups with P90x I use the bands because I feel like I get more out of it, I know if I used a bar I would maybe do 2 or 3!!
 
So got another 3 miles done last night. And again, felt just dandy! Loving this new development! No workout tonight but hoping to go a bit longer tomorrow!!!! And if at all possible, to wake up nice and early Sat for a good old long outdoor run!!
 
Ok folks hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

 I have an etsy page, but don't have anything posted right now. You can always check my blog s<a href="http:">herwoodinnpottery.blogspot.com</a> or or facebook or email me.
 
the last 1.5 months I've just been working on yarn bowls and salt & pepper shakers.
 
You looking for anything in particular? I have stuff around.

Elliptical + a made up on the fly leg workout + a little over a mile on the indoor track. Swim on tap for tomorrow.

Morning
 
Ended up with 9.25 at Hyland last night. The rain stopped after 2 miles, the sun came out and that equals a sweatfest. Throw in soaked trails and mud pits - that is just a hoot. Ended up running with a couple of the guys so it was a bit faster than I normally do.
 
 
I did not get my butt out of bed this morning to run and shred. I'll do 4-6 tonight and try to get in a w/o too.
 
Melis - I am pretty sure I could do ZERO unassisted pull ups

runningINnyc · Jun 16, 2011

Morning all! Got out for a sleazy 7 miles this morning, was feeling a little beat and then I remembered this was the 3rd run in less than 24 hrs. Uh yeah, that'll do it. 
 
Alexis - congrats on the weight loss!

BigGahoona · Jun 16, 2011

yah, when I first started P90X I could do ZERO unassisted pull ups and I worked my way up to FOUR. woo. I didn't care for plyo even though I think it's a good workout. I just didn't like all my fat jiggling around and slapping together. <img alt="sad.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130823219472613" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"> I didn't think much of the legs workout, it didn't seem hard enough. I liked Ab Ripper the best I think. Maybe because it was only 15 minutes long. <img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130823219472624" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">
 
3 hazy humid miles this morning. It was a pretty run.

mmoonptdeux · Jun 16, 2011

Hi all - 4 miles yesterday. I just have to keep reminding myself not to do anything stupid and things will come back soon enough. Also can't wait to get the clearance to get back to doing some serious strength training as well.
 
Nice job on the lb-loss, Theia, and nice "cruising speed" race in the Challenge, Maria!
 
Alrighty, better get to work - didn't take long for the folks to start piling stuff back up on me heh

clare · Jun 16, 2011

I had ever intention of getting up early this morning and running. And yet, it didn't happen. I think my body is telling me it needs a bit more rest. I guess that's ok.

gatorbob · Jun 16, 2011

Hey y'all. Nice work on the fitness so far!
 
I'm back in NJ after a few days in Vegas. The redeye was uneventful, but I didn't get much sleep. I just can't doze very well on planes. So I was wiped out when Ianded, and came straight home to bed. Now my sleep schedule is probably screwed up for a few days... 
 
No fitness so far today. And I might not get anything in. I got too much to catch up on. Oh well. I'll do something tomorrow...

The redeye always seems like a good idea/good use of time but it rarely turns out so. Every time I've flown one I've ended up in bed asleep for much of the day too. Welcome home!

Timr1 · Jun 16, 2011

It's a hot one out there today. 8 miles done it's 95. Yesterday we did 9 miles from the running store in 98 degree heat. 
 
Stay cool!

Hey Kath, how's the back after your chiro appt?

We must have posted at the same time. I didn't see this earlier.
 
Usually half hour to an hour afterwards I feel like I've been beaten. Sometimes I end up with thumb size bruises on either side of my spine. I usually feel better the next day.
 
He doesn't crack me. He moves me into different positions and has me push against him while he pushes against me, and with his free hand he feels around my spine, and when it feels right he shoves the vertibrae back in place. Last few times he's had to shove pretty much all of them around, and my sacrum (right? the triangle one at the bottom?) has been twisted.
 
Pffththt.
 
If I hadn't had such a bad experience with a blood draw yesterday (2 pokes in the left, 1 in the right, bruising, and I look like a druggie) he would have been able to talk me into prolo.
 
Anyway, 
 
Today it's somewhat better, but I have to go back tomorrow. Since he couldn't believe I wasn't in tears, he gave me his cell # so I can call him on non-office days (he only works MWF) so I won't have to wait when it gets like that.

A good thing is that running doesn't seem to aggravate it. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.
