Good Morning Cheetahs.
My gosh, I wish I knew where my early-bird ability went to! It appears to have "flown the coop"! ROTLMAO
Seriously though, it's tickin' me off that I am sleeping until 7:30-8:00 almost every chance I get. I don't like this and wish I knew why so I could fix it. x(
Well, laziness got the best of me y'day and I blew off the work out I was supposed to do after the race. Oh well. I guess it's not a big deal. Obviously, having slept in today, I will not be managing legs and yoga today like I had hoped. I'll figure something out though...
So our wonderful Carole and Shelly Cheetahs are in awesome (and warm) NV getting ready to race some big ones today and here I sit in cold, wet, snowy Jersey alone in the house with my dog and my son. GRRRRR. I love 'em but I hate being cooped up all day with them. I need to get a good work out in so I'm not climbing the walls later. Since I am beginning the X tmrw perhaps a good cardio is the best idea. I probably should be resting but that will drive me out of my mind today so it's not gonna happen. I don't feel like I've been overtraining though so I should be fine.
Cathy: How much of the white stuff did ya get? We got an inch or two. Not much but enough to make getting out with Joey a PIA so I won't do it unless it melts. Rock that work out today girl! Are you hitting the DM or braving the crappy weather? Oh those Itrains I got are the TM, not for outside. Next month I may cave and get an outdoor one. I DO intend to pick up a U/A outfit at some point though. I am actually CONSIDERING running a 5 mile race I found on December 29. It starts by the water. I'll DEFINATELY need U/A for that one if I do it!
Christine: You may or may not be gone by now so I don't know if you'll read this but HAVE A SAFE TRIP!
I guess I wasn't paying attn the day you mentioned what you were going to Chicago for so when you do check in, inquiring minds wanna know!?
:7
Judy: So do you think you'll race again?
Sunny: YAY!!!! I am sooo glad that you are even going to LET me email you about it! That's so darned cool! Perhaps whatever race we choose will offer a half and then you could do that if the full doesn't entice you! There may also be takers who won't race and just want to come for the social aspect. If that's the case, you could do that too! We haven't talked about it much but that would be a great reason for a Cheetah GTG even for those who don't want to run it! :+
Kristi: Eczema? Oh your poor little boy! DH has psoriasis and it drives him nuts at times. I can only imagine how unhappy your DS was last night. Do you have any medicated cream or anything to put on it when it acts up? I hope you got more then 2 hours of sleep last night. I can't believe your DD gets up so early! OMG! I would die! LOL Is she your alarm clock or do you get up before her?
Linda: Thanks for the nice words re: the 5k. I have to admit though that I didn't feel very accomplished afterwards. It was a bummer to cross the finish line and not be excited about your time. :-(
K, I think I'm all caught up. DS is complaining up there. We leave his door open a bit in the winter because of the heat situation upstairs so he can hear us when we get up and then he wants to come down! LOL
The problem with the heat is that the dopes who built this house put the furnace and hot water heater on the second floor. It's a cape cod so upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with only a super tiny hallway (more like a landing) in between them. On that landing, right between the 2 rooms in the "room" that houses the furnace and hot water heat. It gives off lots of heat as you can well imagine. If we leave the heat on in DS' room and close the door, it gets too hot between his baseboard and the heaters. If we turn the heat off in DS room and close the door, it gets too cold. So after playing aroudn with it for last couple of seasons, we've discovered that basically if we keep the heat in his room off and leave the door ajar then the heat from the hotwater heater and furnace are enough to keep his room at about 70 all winter. PIA but it works!
Ok, my novel is complete!
BBL.
