<p>Good Morning,</p>
<p>  I forgot to turn off the alarm today and then when I did turn it off, I realized I was to warm to go back to bed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[rant]</p>
<p>Found out last NIGHT, while at soccer practice that head coach of my daughters team, decided, on his own apparently, that the team would not be participating in the league sponsored team picture. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>WTF</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I understand some parents don't have the money or whatever to order the packages.  We like to order the packages since we can get trading cards that we then send out to the grandparents and family. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Instead one of the other mom's who takes some great pictures of the kids in action is going to take a team picture.  Of course in the email he said it would be done after the game.  Hello,  They are going to be sweaty and tired!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway,  I emailed him last night and said I didn't agree with the decision and that I wish that he had put it to a team vote.  It only takes a few minutes to get the picture done and anyone that is not getting any kind of individual pictures done or doesn't want to buy a team photo doesnt have to. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He is a great guy and we are good friends but from time to time he makes these dictator type decisions.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[/rant/]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, after today's game and pictures, I have to find 2 new pre-made gates for my fence and start prepping for the re-install. This is going to be interesting. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one everyone.</p>

<p>good morning. FB- hope you get some nice team pics.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry, Meri, but Ambien washed away my sleep troubles.  Heading out for a LONG run this morning.  I have been cranking out the miles as of lately.  I guess I am trying to make up for all the miles missed in Feb and March.  I had such lofty goals and they were tossed to the side when the weather took a turn for the worse or I got sick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyhow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We take delivery of a new king size mattress today.  Wooohooo!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>eric,</p>
<p>YOIKS! on the team pic controversy. Hope you're able to smooth that over with coach and families.</p>
<p>What kind of fencing/gates? Metal for chain link? Wood?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>meri,</p>
<p>I had a horrid night's sleep. about 52 wake-ups...not sure why.</p>
<p>Heck, there's not a toddler within MILES of me!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(It was probably the pizza I had for supper. oops)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>todd,</p>
<p>wow on the running mojo <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130234908810925"><img alt="icon_cheers.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130234908810924" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_cheers.gif" style="width:24px;height:24px;"></span> glad it came back, just in time for spring!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My mileage is teh sukk. It never was even 'average' compared to others; but this fall-winter has seen my miles go down, stress go up, eating control drifting, weight go up. *gak*</p>
<p>I continue to work out like a machine; but the jogging portion and EATING PORTIONS of my healthy lifestyle need to get back on track.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This morn, I've got functional fitness and then yoga.</p>
<p>This afternoon is supposed to be warm and sunny; so sis, BIL, and I will head back to the pond to do more chainsawing/hand sawing/brush hauling, yadda yadda.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Good morning!  My mileage is the suck lately, too.  I'm still running every day, but mostly the minimum.</p>

<p>Good morning everyone. I'll be off for the Beat Coach Pete 5k in a little while. Should be fun. Hopefully, I'm hoping I'm not DFL, but I'll have fun even if I am. I'm going with some folks from my running club.  Some of them are pretty speedy and will probably beat the coach.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm very happy the gov't isn't shutting down. I was very concerned for our military folks and those who live payday to payday. Phew!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FB - don't blame you for being upset on the pics.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meri - sorry to hear of another rough night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Todd - running mojo an a new mattress. YAY!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>WTPJ - you may not get many miles, but you sure are one active lady!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jebba - good morning. Maybe you need some of Todd's running mojo?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have good running mojo but my achilles gets cranky from time to time. If all goes well, I'll do a 10k next month.  I was hoping for a HM, but I'll take what I can get.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good weekend.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Home from soccer and pictures.  DD's team lost 2 - 0.  They played hard.  Just couldn't get any good shots on goal.    I think I over-reacted some to the team picture thing.  As I did more digging this morning I found a place on the web that can create the sports card we like and through another site we can sort of create the collage picture we usually get. I went ahead and did the solo shot through the league but next fall I will research it more and maybe try it externally.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did some pricing on building the gates and it looks like I will have to build my own.  Lowe's only has 4 ft wide gates and I need 5 ft wide.  So Lowes has a kit that you can buy that is a metal frame, add 2 2*4's and and however many slats you need and you then you just hang it.  It looks like that option will run me about 150 bucks to do.  But DD is sick so I had to bring her home without buying anything today.  So I guess I will just take down the old gate.  Figure out how much stuff I need and maybe buy it tomorrow morning and then after the Sunday game maybe start building it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Right now I just want to put up the hammock, open a few cold ones and relax but I know I need to get some work done.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one.</p>

<p>Good afternoon.  Did a 12 mile run this morning at Stone Mountain Park.  11 in the park and then 1 mile run from and to my car to get to the park to avoid paying vehicle entrance fees.   But after doing a good job of running (Stone Mountain is rolling hills) I undid almost everything going to breakfast and really pigged out to the point I was stuffed fatter than a turkey for Thanksgiving.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So to undo my food intake I'm going to have to eat light the rest of the day and maybe do some weights tonight to work off a few more calories.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Temps will be in the mid 80's today and tomorrow. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a nice weekend everyone.</p>
