<p>Hi everyone!  How did I get on here before you Paul?  I've been up for a while with the dogs after a really cruddy night of sleep - ugh!  Dd9 came in and woke me up at 3:30 to tell me she had a bad dream so I spent some time in her room and then finally back to my room.  Puppy decided he wanted to get up and play at 5am.  Oh well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I plan to run this morning after I help out at dd's school.  For those of you who have run Mt Washington the windchill there this morning is -16deg!  have a good day!</p>

<p>Good morning Sisu! Sounded like a rough night. Hope you get a nice run in later. How's Ringo doing? Sounds like a he feels right at home now.</p>
<p>No run for me today and I'm glad it's Friday. I'm working tomorrow though, but the rest of the weekend looks free for now.</p>
<p>-16? Damn, that's chilly!</p>

<p>Good morning.  Rest day for me today.  So far I've been really good about getting my workouts in this week.  It is freezing in my office so I have my coat on still.  Brrrr - I'm ready for summer to come back!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sisu - I hope you havea  better night tonight.  Interrupted sleep is so hard.  Have a good run later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suds - Yay for Friday!!!  I hope you have a good weekend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It as nice to see some folks back in here yesterday.  I lurked but didn't get a chance to post because this version of the site doesn't allow posting from smart phones.  supposedly they are going to fix that.</p>

<p>Good morning, y'all! Happy Friday!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been up for a couple of hours, the kids are up but Maxwell is dozing back off and Elise is playing a preschool computer game. I have a ton of stuff to do today, including errands with both kids in tow. I am not above bribery to make this happen smoothly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully some belly dancing and maybe some yoga later. I am going out tonight to have dinner with a girlfriend and some of her friends. Girls night, dinner and drinks. It will be my first real outing alone since Maxwell was born, not counting the grocery store.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gotta make with the lists before we go, before the coffee wears off and I lose my nerve.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day, everyone!</p>

<p>Good morning Andi, glad to see that you're back on track. Have a good day and stay warm!</p>
<p>Good morning LB! Enjoy the belly dancing later! Enjoy the night out tonight!</p>

<p>Good morning everyone!!!  Happy Friday.  I slept terribly last night.  I just couldn't shut my mind down.  I was awake at 2:30 and just laid there for hours.  I hate that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm just doing some stuff for my business today.  I am changing my business name, building a new website, and working on some marketing materials. I really need to get things moving and start making some money.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will run a little bit later this morning, and right after I get the kids from school we have a baseball game, which unfortunately starts too early for Ron to get home to.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Susan-Sorry about the crappy night's sleep. I feel your pain.  Have fun at school, and have a good run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Suds!  Any fun plans for the weekend?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi-Enjoy your rest day today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Aimee-Have fun with your girlfriends tonight!  That sounds great!</p>

 

[LadyBunny]

<p>I need to redo my website too, but the shopping cart program I want to use is really a pain to configure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DB kindly offered to take Elise and do the grocery shopping this afternoon, so I am skipping that and staying home and cleaning and whatnot. Maxwell has the sleepies today, he has dozed a good part of the morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm thinking about buying some of those shape up shoes that are supposed to work your muscles more when you walk. They are really ugly though.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[Fer]

<p>Aimee-I have wondered about those shoes, and if they really do any good.  They are pretty ugly, I agree.  I hope you are getting a lot done while DB and the little girl are out shopping.</p>

 

[Sisu]

<p>Hey everyone!  I never did get a run in today but I walked the dogs a few times.  My knee has been weird today but I think it's the treatment I had yesterday at PT.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>LB - nice to have some time to yourself at home!  Hope you enjoy it.  I don't know about the shape up shoes.  I'm always very skeptical about stuff that makes promises like that and I worry about how it affects the rest of your body (hips, knees, etc)  I've never tried them on but they look like they'd make you walk wrong.  As I said, I'm very skeptical and I'm probably looking at it like my chiro would <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"></p>
<p>Fer - I had that same kind of night last night.  I hate that feeling of not being able to sleep but being so tired.  I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.</p>
<p>Andi - good job on getting your workouts in this week!  I am hating this cold, too.  I bought a really warm funky sweater today and I'm still cold.  I want summer back, too!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Off to dance class with dd.  </p>

 

[LadyBunny]

<p>Susan, I think the idea behind them is they change the way you balance when you walk, thus making your muscles have to do a bit of correction. So yeah, in effect I think they make you walk wrong. My mom has some of the sketchers ones and she says they are pretty comfortable, and they do improve your posture just by nature of the way they make you stand. My mom is the clumiest person alive, and she hasn't fallen in them yet, so that says a lot to me. I do wonder about the effect on the rest of your body though, like you said. Going to get ready to go OUT! have a great night everyone. </p>
