<p>Good morning!  I got up and ran 3 this morning.  I ended up missing a run last week because our weekend was just way too crazy to fit one in yesterday.  I did better than the last few weeks though.  I hope things settle down a bit when football and cheer end in a few weeks.</p>

<p>Hi everyone.  I hope you all had a good weekend.  Our weekend was good.  There was a little less going on than normal, so it was kind of nice.  I did not end up running yesterday, so hopefully I get a good run in today.  I had a headache and I'm just feeling really down.  I had asked my ex if he would please let the girls move down here to go to school and he could have them on all school breaks.  He said he would not consider it and to stop asking.  It just breaks my heart because I hate being away from them even as much as I am, and going back and forth is really difficult.  It just makes me so sad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi-Good job on getting your run in this morning.  I can totally relate to how hard it is to fit in run with all the activities going on.  Hopefully things settle down for you soon.</p>

<p>Good morning! Where is Sudsy this fine morning?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm trying to convince myself it will be a good day. We had a storm last night, and when I got up the internet was broken and my coffee maker wouldn't power on. Both have since been fixed, but that was not how I wanted to start my Monday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have an exciting day planned here. Elise wants to make a museum. Not go to one, make one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Belly dancing later if the children will cooperate.</p>

<p>Hi everyone</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi - good job getting out there this morning.  I imagine it's a challenge to fit those runs in with how busy you are with the kid's events.  </p>
<p>LB - no coffee maker on a Monday morning is not a good thing!  Glad you got it to work.  Have fun belly dancing!</p>
<p>(((Fer)))  I imagine that your ex not cooperating is really hard on all of you.  I hope you can find a solution that works for all of you.  Keep your chin up!  I hope a good run today helps you to feel a bit better.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got in a nice 5mi run today and felt pretty good.  I went to school to help out in ds's art class and that was fun.  I'm getting really antsy being at home and would love to find a part time job.  I just have no idea what I want to do and my schedule is so limited that I'm not sure how I could swing it.  I have no desire to go back to my previous profession so I'm just lost.  I dunno.  Back to cleaning.</p>

<p>Morning my running friends.  I got a short run in and some weights this morning.  I was tired but I got to rest on the way into the office since I carpool some days.  My legs have been feeling good and I am slowly I mean slowly increasing my weekly miles.  I only have another year or so to qualify for the Olympics in London so I better get on the ball.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi I always want to get good work out in on the weekend but some times I don't because of our schedules.  How is the new job?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jennifer we need to just take it one day at a time and make the best of it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>LB what kind of museum?  Are you going to dig up bones?  Make some art?  put a car in your living room?  Very exciting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Susan I hope you find something to do with your time.  How about since our group has faded and some have moved on.  We start a new social networking site based on working out.  There have been several that have started but non of them are great.  Ok it is on the table and you can run with it.  Remember it is my idea so I get 51%.  Who are we going to get to play us on the movie?  or another idea.  I still have my running purse idea and there are hundreds of other but Jennifer would might get mad if I mention them.</p>

 

[Ron]

<p>Hey Paul I am guessing you are still having computer problems?  Hope you are doing well.</p>

 

[LadyBunny]

<p>Ron, we are going to make art, of course. DB is going to finish painting the hallway this week so we can hang up artwork and pictures.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>these children are making me a little batty today. Maxwell is super clingy and i can't get anything done, and Elise will not stop asking questions. How come, Mama? But why?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>is it too early to start drinking?</p>

<p>Hello!  I went to a 6AM cycle class then to body pump after the kids went to school.  I needed the double workout after taking a few days off and eating too much at the 5 parties we went to this weekend.  My legs are a bit tired now.  I got my car appraised today from getting hit last week (it was parked at the time and I was grocery shopping). The shop was a bit shady so now I'm going to try to find somewhere else to get it fixed.  It was almost like something out of Saturday Night Live. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I saw Gaela and kids this weekend- she looks awesome as always. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sisu- I'm in your same shoes.  I need to find something part-time.  I'm spending a lot of time volunteering but it would be nice to make some money.</p>
<p>LB- enjoy your museum making today!  It sounds like something my crew would do.  I hope Maxwell settles down for you today.  Clingy babies = grumpy mama.</p>
<p>Fer- I hope everything works out for you soon.</p>
<p>Ron- I'm glad you had a slower weekend.</p>
<p>Sudsy!!  I hope your computer is okay!</p>
<p>Hi Andi!  Nice running this morning.</p>

<p>HAPPY MONDAY!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>UGH...pretty much what you would expect after a 4 day wkend! <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif" style="width:1px;height:1px;"> Wild children this mornign that turned into overtired cranky children by about 10:45am! Raining so we didnt get outside all day!! Never so happy to see some of the parents in all my life! <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif" style="width:1px;height:1px;">  decided to be easy on mysefl tonight and feed my children crap for supper and took them to mcd's..ds3 dropped his blue powerade drink in the car on the way home and then dumped his fries on the kitchen floor after we got home! Is it wine thirty yet???!!!! Have not ran in about a wk and not sure if I have the motivation to do so tonight!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi...good job getting those workouts/runs in!! WTG!<br>
LB...did you get wine yet?? <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif" style="width:1px;height:1px;"> hope the day got better! def a monday!<br>
Fer...hope you guys can get something figured out! ((HUGS))</p>
<p>Ron..arent you humorous today <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif" style="width:1px;height:1px;">!! If you make the olympics I"ll come cheer you on!! hope you had a great day!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>had a great 4day wkend! a couple fun nights with friends and some good time with my family! didnt get much accomplished around the house but that happens! OK I went back and read a little from last wk...I too am disapointed on how slow it is around here! I admit my posts have become quite a bit less frequent in the last 6months or so as well and prob because my running has been sparse and my time has been sparse..but Ron is right...you dont have to run to post and I have realized like Sisu that I need the motivation that this group game me to get my shoes back on and get my ass back out there! I really dont think I can do it with out you guys! I am not sure what the answer is....we move someplace else, we take the chance that we lose all the old peeps that still pop in on occassion but I wonder why it seems to be a good year or more since we have not any new members join us?? This forum (kickrunners) seems to be losing members left and right! I would just love to see some new peeps join in and hopefully we could get this group a little more hopping again!!</p>

<br><br><p>SB!!  We were at a Halloween party .....I wish I were in running shape for a race (although I do have an 8k in a few weeks and a 10k, but I don't have high hopes for a PR).  I hope tomorrow goes better.  What a day!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fans and equipment are FINALLY GONE!!!!  It's so quiet and peaceful.  The phone rang 4 times while I was home today and I didn't hear it once because of the noise.  11 long days (yes I was counting) of loud white noise is finally over (although they found another leak, but I won't go there).</p>
