Wed 1/4 - Is it Friday Yet?

<p>Hey all!  Love the pics!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Kath -</strong> barfing?  Ouch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Brandy</strong> - nice workout chica.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I too had an awesome workout this am.  Scheduled for 80 minutes with tempo intervals - 6 x .5 miles at 7:17 pace with .25 recoveries. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Warmup: 3.1 miles (8:58 pace)</p>
<p>Intervals: 7:13, 7:15, 7:15, 7:16, 7:12 and 7:08</p>
<p>Cooldown: 2.1 (8:51 pace)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not too shabby.  My HR was in a really good place the whole time too.  Fun to finally start some workouts!!  This is my first one since I started base-building a few weeks ago.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD:</strong>  Not sure.  But frigid.  I live in Wisconsin.  It gets super cold and super windy.  Boo.  Today was not nearly as bad as yesterday though, so hopefully all of you east coasters will see a minor warm-up tomorrow.</p>

<p>Welcome back <strong>Timr!</strong>  Glad you had such a great trip.  I am bummed we weren't able to meet up this time,  but our trip was a total whirlwind (as I'm sure yours was too).  Congrats on no weight gain.  I didn't gain any either - we were so busy running around, we hardly had time to eat!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Shannon</strong> - cool pics!  We got to pet little stingrays in Atlanta last year - pretty cool stuff.  And the exhibits with the birds are pretty cool too.  I went once in jacksonville, florida with my sister and one of the birds landed on her.  She handled it quite well even though she is terrified of birds in close proximity.  Hee hee.  Daisy is hilarious too - love it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Maria</strong> - any Dillon updates?  <strong>Brandy</strong> - how is your mom?  Hope everyone is hanging in there + some.   </p>

<p>(((((((Dillon, Papa Pfieffer, Colleen, Brandy's Mama)))))))  Healthy vibes going out to them all too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong>, I was just thinking of you and what a difficult time you had when I saw your absolutely gorgeous Christmas card.  I am so glad you pulled through.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>BTW - when did you live in Wisco?  I think I missed that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Moe</strong> - I have a Sole mill and I really like it.  I highly recommend against getting a really cheap 'mill, no matter how tempting.  I did that the first time around and the damn thing kept dying on me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Me - </strong>I am STARVING today and feel like I could gnaw my arm off.  Danggit.  I know it happens when I start upping the training, but I need to drop some tonnage, which means NOT eating more.  Grrrrrr.</p>
