Wendy, I kinda get the feeling your a tad bit excited about your long weekend!:+ Have fun in Frantic City---remember that from the Flintstones......'Doc's a plumber, squawk!'
:+ :7
I'm heading out for 8k this bright and sunny morning. Hopefully I can get some yoga in after. My Elizabeth is turning 18 on Wednesday and her best friend is throwing her a surprise party. I've got to pick up a bunch of stuff for that, I'm thrilled to bits that her friend's are doing this for her. I'm savouring these days with my Girls at home, these year have flown by beyond belief.
I'll check in after my run.
Take Care

Good morning cheetahs
Wendy...this hip pain didn't seem to be "going" quickly. Glad to get it adjusted ASAP. Have a great time in a/c this weekend!!...
Sunny...I have done that iClimb...its a fun one. I should do some cleaning and laundry too as I have a short work day.
Cathy...I do agree that some pains just come out of nowhere. I knew I had not done anything that had specifically targeted my hip...so it was out of nowhere. Glad you back pain subsided. I am glad you are enjoying Squeeze. Yes we do like DOMS...
Jackie...yes, it is nice to have a Chiropractor for a nephew, his sister is a Physical Therapist! Sounds like your IFIT workout went well.
Susan...hope the Zoo and PF Changs was fun yesterday.
Shelly...so funny you mention feeling your age. That has so been on my mind lately. Such good news about your FIL...the hip pain was just a weird thing. It is the same side as my tight hammy and previous piriformis pain so I would figure it was maybe related. I have been taking it easy and not doing cardio everyday, just weights. It was immediately better after my nehpews adjustment. Hope you had a nice hilly run.
Laurie..sounds like a nice spa day yesterday. My hip is feeling much better......Enjoy your 8K today. very sweet your DD's friend are throwing her a 18th party...
Christine...good workout yesterday for you. Advil has been my friend lately too...
I am doing Bento's APX, but just the shoulder and tri work, abs and a 3-4 mile run.
Have a great day...

Good morning Cheetahs!
Susan - Hope you enjoyed the zoo trip with Mariah and shopping with friends. Love PF Chang's.
Shelly - Glad you got some much deserved sleep. Glad things are going well with FIL too. I know that's a relief for everyone. I never could get into KenpoX either. Guess it moved too slow for me or something. The iFIT programs are good if you don't mind your treadmill being guided. Of course, sometimes I will adjust because I have intermediate workouts and it's not enough for me. How was your run yesterday?
Laurie - How is the Wheetah today? Bike ride sounds amazing! Hope you enjoyed your 8K.
Christine - Those spinnerval workouts sound like real killers. I keep eyeing a spin bike but then I wonder where would I put it. I already have so much stuff. How's the neck today?
Wendy - Nice workout yesterday! How are you coming with the SS workouts this time around? Kids!! I can play with them and send them home with their parents. Have a fun trip to AC!
Sunny - I downloaded iStrength #9 the other night. Now I have to put it on my Zen. Glad to hear you like it.
Cathy - Did you enjoy your pizza? Glad you're enjoying the squeeze workouts.
Carole - You are surrounded by specialists! That's so nice. Enjoy your short work day and your workout.
I did SSE Cardio Sculpt, Hip Hop Abs Total Body Burn and Winsor Pilates Back. It was a fun and easy workout today.
I have a family reunion this weekend. My sisters from Detroit and Chicago should be home along with a host of other relatives. Should be fun.
TGIF!! Have a great day!

Good morning ladies,
I had WONDEFUL day yesterday. I got to spend the day at the zoo with my Allyson and 25 other kids and everyone had a great time. I then chowed on PF changs and had big piece of chocolate cake with fresh raspberries on top of it. It was worth every stinking calorie. I then did a little shopping at New york Inc. and got some great stuff 70% off. It was such a fun day. I really needed it. You really do have to laugh everyday to feel good. I always laugh the most when I am with my girlfriends. It is fun just to be silly
I am going to do ME today and then 30 minutes on the elliptical. My knee pain is so much better, but still am going to stay away from impact right now.
Wendy, have a great time this weekend and enjoy your rest day.
Laurie, I can't even imagine one of my daughters turning 18. I can't even cope with the fact that Mariah is turning 5.
Sunnydelite, Sounds like you are really excited about your bike accessory purchases. I am going to spin class tomorrow at the gym. I am looking forward to a different workout.
Carole, glad the hip is feeling better. I tell ya, I never had one injury in 15 years until this last year. I wonder if my body is trying to tell me something or if is just a fluke. I am hoping for the latter. That is great that you have a relative that is a chiro. I am loving mine.
Jackie, thanks! I did have a great time. I love the variety of your workouts. That does sound like a fun one. I have the Windsor pilates abs, but have not tried it yet. I am still obsessed with my Karen Voight one.
Well ladies, I am off to the chiro and then tea with my best friend Mary. I will be back later to check and see what's happening.
Cheers!
Susan

Good morning all! I guess everyone is busy with their holiday weekend plans.... I'll be celebrating by working. But that's okay, I've had a nice long stretch off. I got alot of yardwork and housecleaning accomplished yesterday also:7
Laurie- I got a kick out of your "wheetah" post yesterday. Sounds like you had a nice bike ride! Hope your run is just as good for you today. I bet your DD will be thrilled with the party and that is really sweet of her friend to do that.
Wendy- Have a fantastic time in A/C :7 :7 :7
SunnyD- Monster work out???? Whatever could you mean? ;-) I recently ordered the Squeeze workout and can't wait to try it!
Carole- Since you're running today I guess your hip is much better:7
That side of your body has been a real troublemaker for you recently!
I don't know about you but when the "age blues" get to me I get reassured when I see people in their 70s and even 80s running races or generally leading active healthy lives.
Jackie- My run yesterday went pretty well but it did kick my butt a little more than usual. I did do the last 2 miles faster but not quite at race pace.... I was satisfied with it though Sounds like you did have a fun mishmosh workout today! Have an awesome family reunion weekend!!!
Susan- I think your SF excursion yesterday was just the ticket for you!
Christine- A duathlon? Not likely I'm afraid. All of the new equipment and terminology with biking today has me quite intimidated!
I'll just stick to fun outdoor bike rides with my old Trek hybrid and indoor workouts on my stationary cycle. Hope your neck is feeling better today!
For today it'll be my all time favorite circuit workout... DM!!!
and later a little stepboxing. Then, a nap before work. I'll try to check back later!

Good Morning Cheetah babes!
*Dances around the room because it’s Friday before a THREE day weekend!!* Oh, I’m so ready for 3 days off. I’m taking my HRM to have the watch battery changed today, and then I’m going to bring the Jimmy dog back to the office with me in the afternoon because everyone wants to meet him, and we’re going to be out for the evening, so I don’t want to leave him all day AND half the night. He’s getting very affectionate. Just really wants to be loved on. So sweet. No workout for me today. It’s TTOM and I just could not drag myself out of bed to save my life. But man did I sleep well! Did not wake up once all night – I think that’s a record for me.
Wendy – have a fabulous weekend – don’t gamble too much!!
Laurie – how’d your 8k go? YOU have an 18 yo daughter? Wow! I’m with you – time flies. I cannot believe my baby is 14. Enjoy your girls!
Sunny – Oh, fun! I love bike shops! Guys running around in spandex with incredible legs… Oh, and I like the bikes, too. LOL. Can’t wait to hear the tales of you riding and being unable to unclip your foot. We all have at least one!
Carole – getting older sucks, doesn’t it? My neck is less stiff than it was yesterday. I knew exactly when it happened and debated stopping the workout, but I figured if I could do moves that did not bother it, I’d be fine. Enjoy your run!
Jackie – Spinervals are fun. I think you’d love them. If you have a bicycle, you can get a trainer that allows you to prop your back tire up on it and acts likes a spin bike and they fold down pretty small. I want two more – Totally Time Trial and Tough Love (Tough Love is 3 hours long – ouch!). Have fun at your family reunion! It sounds fun!
Susan – sounds like a wonderful day! How’s Mary doing?
Shelly – you crack me up! I don’t know all of the terminology either – I just have a good bike shop and they treat me well. :+ Have a blast with DM! Hope work this weekend is easy and fun.
Enjoy everyone!

Hello again Cheetahs Another good 8k run this morning...funny how it feels so different these days. Last year was baptism by fire training for a half, this year it's all about doing what I want to do, when I want to do it!
Sunny, sounds like you worked those hamstring but GOOD!!}(
Carole, I've had Amy Bento's APX for months now and only done the upper body part twice. I should give it a go as is. How do you like it?
Jackie, nice mish moshey workout there Girl Enjoy your family reunion!
Susan, that sounds like a wonderful day! Time with old girlfriends is one of my favourite things, so good for the soul. Funny I can remember Elizabeth's 5th birthday like it was yesterday I'm sure you can't imagine Mariah being 18 anymore than you can imagine being 45;-) :7
Shelly, glad I could make you smile I was thinking of doing Circuit Max tomorrow but I think you changed my mind...DM is so challenging and fun, I break a sweat during the warm up
Christine, enjoy your long weekend....hope TTOM doesn't hamper it. I've been thinking a lot about that lately, as much as I've wished for no periods I am in no hurry for menopause...I can't believe I'm actually a bit sentimental about my cycle...I think I'm losing it:+ I loved my run today, I've shaved a full 3 minutes off of this course in the last 4 weeks. The bike riding is really helping my leg strength and hill tolerance Sounds like Jimmy's doing a good job of filling the hole in your heart
I'm outta here ladies...have a great weekend!
HEY CATHY, YOU OUT THERE GIRL!!!
Take Care

Jackie..how fun, a family reunion!! I hope you have a great weekend. I got a new Pilates workout that I really should try out soon.
Susan...I will say I never had any bad injuries until 2 weeks after I turned 40. Then went a few years with nothing til about 3 years ago. I know I need to listen to my body a bit more if I want to survive getting into my 50's.....I am so glad your knee is better. ME is sure a fun one.
Sunny...I really need to try a few more of the different iTrains. I might have to venture there now...
Shelly...yes, the hip was much better right after the adjustment. I laugh about the aging thing. My sister and I always say that if we just keep on running, we might be able to place when we get into our 60's and 70's!!! Placing now really depends on who is there...have fun with DM.
Christine...I do hope Jimmy enjoys his social outing today......Good job on the full night of rest. I did that one night this week too, just cannot seem to repeat it! YES, getting older can suck big time! But, I will get over it...because, it can ALWAYS be worse. Glad your neck is feeling better.
Laurie...I really like Amy's APX. You do have to be an advanced exerciser I feel as some of the moves are kinda risky unless your muscles are ready and used to lifting, but I am a huge fan of something different...Isn't it fun to just run when you want and not really follow a training schedule. You are doing great!
No real holiday plans for us this weekend. Most likely we will be buying some paint for the living room, dining room and kitchen (they are all connected) to paint before we get to the laminate flooring that Costco will have on sale in July. The run and Amy were quite fun this morning. Now an afternoon for cleaning and laundry I think...
