Ok folks, what's new and exciting?! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">
 
Skipped my run today because I had to get to work super early. Have to leave early for a doc appt. Crazy busy day ahead, just hoping I get out in time!
 
Amy I so wish I could reserve that bedroom for Labor Day weekend

KATH!!!!!!!! I want a bracelet, they are fabulous!! I will send you a message!
 
Ok, gotta run, sadly not literally though!!

Greetings all.
 
Meh.. I ended up doing a couple of errands for dad, and by the time I got home, took care of some stuff there, fed the dogs, showered, it was nearly 7pm. By then, core/abs were NOT on my mind. Food was. Alas, no core work for me, yet again. Grr.
 
5M will happen on the TM tonight, at least.
 
Not fun: Heading to the dentist in an hour. It's just for a cleaning, but still don't like going!

We seem to have some un-fun here! I am home with a sick little boy, so that's my not ful, but it does allow me to get onto this site so...silver lining.
 
I've been doing pretty well with running. 7 M on Saturday, which is the furthest I've done in quite some time, plus 3 Sunday and 4 this morning. Unfortunately, I've had really terrible tummy issues after I run. I think part of the problem is that it's only been about 5 weeks since I've been doing 20 or so miles/week.
 
Anyhow, nice to be able to pop in. Now I'm going to go back and read about 2 months worth of posts to see what I've missed!

Timr1 · Aug 16, 2011

Yeah! Welcome back D! 
 
Early morning interval run for me this morning. Managed 7.3 miles with 3 x 1600m @ 6:40 pace. Weather was cool and the company of some of my training buddies was good. Made it home in time to see my kiddos before they caught their busses to their schools. now, I'm tired...I need a nap.

Hi Diane!!
 
Good luck with the poking and prodding, boB. And I think katholeenie owes you an apology. Or at least a cookie.
 
Sleasy 3 M pre-work.

OK, thanks for asking. I was pissed at the ortho, who completly undersold the recovery. He said, and I quote, that I would "be playing tennis in two weeks." I could not do a push up for 2 months. He still wants to do the left hand, but I am not going to go ahead with it unless it gets much, much worse.

Hey everyone!
 
Nice workout Timr!
 
I had a fabulous run this morning despite very little and very interrupted sleep last night. But it was 58 degrees! Woot. 15 miles with the second half a good 20 secs per mile faster than the first half.

amichel · Aug 16, 2011

Morning all. First day of school for DD. DH left early this morning for a golf trip, so I had single mom duty. I managed to get everyone ready and delivered on time. Now I have a few hours of work before I pick her up from early dismissal and go out for lunch with another family from school. Then a major grocery trip to replace what we lost from the power outage. At least there are lots of back to school sales!
 
Oh, and minor fitnessing to report, chasing DS while he rode his bike. Man he's fast. Then I rode my own bike a bit too. First time I've been on a real bike (as opposed to a spin bike) in a very long time. Years probably!

Brandy · Aug 16, 2011

morning
 
busy day yesterday left me no time to check up with you peeps! 
 
I lifted on Sunday night and it was a trainwreck....I mean, I was a pile. It didn't help that the hard long run and the sun exposure caused a bit of a migraine that was still hanging around when we had our appt. I also had a new card, which means, new exercises/positions, etc which means youch. Sigh. I am still really sore today.
 
5 miles last night .. it was a beautiful night for a run
 
Tonight some light speedwork in preparation of the relay. I am runner Numero Uno! I get a total of 17.5 miles but the progression is very nice with the first one being my hardest at 7.7. My last one is only 3.4 and that is about when I'd be wanting to not run. Ha!
 
Good runs to everyone!

gatorbob · Aug 16, 2011

I could use a cookie. I haven't eaten anything but Jello in 36 hours. But it's almost time for the fun to start...

Runninlaw · Aug 16, 2011

I hope all goes well, bOb!

Auntie Moe · Aug 16, 2011

Good luck boB!
 
ok, so I like that we're back to one thread, except my complete lack of exercise (besides walking the dog for a half hour this morning) is so obvious now. Holy smokes peeps!
 
In other news...my results came back NORMAL!!!! thank goodness.

Timr1 · Aug 16, 2011

boB - good luck.
 
Moe - that's great news.

Brandy · Aug 16, 2011

woot woot MOE!!!!!

phdatc · Aug 16, 2011

Morning!
 
Swim this morning at a different Y than my usual. They have a much smaller facility, but the hours may be easier in my schedule. 
 
Then a hair cut... but geez the woman who does my hair loves to style it in unusual ways... currently I am sporting a faux-hawk!!! <img alt="rolleyes.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_131350898460414" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif">

 We need photo evidence of this rocking faux-hawk please. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">

Ailarie · Aug 16, 2011

Maureen - WOOHOO! Best news of the thread!
 
Bob - Uh.. I feel weird saying "good luck.". Hope things go as smooth as possible.
 
D - Sorry for the sick kiddo, but we are glad to see you back here!!
 
Tim - Wow.. that doc gave the understatement of the year. 
 
Meh for me. One small new cavity. No big deal, but what is more annoying is that three older fillings on back-to-back teeth are all breaking down and in need of replacement now. Ugh. My credit card company is going to be very happy with me in a few weeks. ><

duckgeek · Aug 16, 2011

Yay Moe!!
 
I'm in the same boat, Ailarie. I'm going to the dentist today for what I think is a cracked molar.
 
One week from right now I'll be getting my cast off. I. Can't. Wait.

clare · Aug 16, 2011

That's great news, Maureen! 
 
Ailarie, I'm due for a cleaning. I've been holding off but I really should get at it. And DH needs to go, too. He's been having some trouble with one of his molars. Lena also needs to go for her first cleaning but I'm dreading that. I really don't think she'll sit still long enough to let them do it. Eeek.
 
I took the girlies to the local exhibition last night. Lena found one of her daycare friends and so the mom took them on all sorts of rides. I took Evelyn around to see all the animals. She seemed really impressed, especially with the baby piggies and the sheep. 
 
I was supposed to run 8 this morning but when I got up it was spilling out and I just didn't feel like getting drenched. I'm gonna see if my sister will watch the girlies for me after work so I can get them done.
 
Good luck, Bob!
