First, gotta say:
go, Jackie, go! Look forward to your race report.
Last night’s run didn’t go as planned. I stayed a little later at work to prep for next week for myself and for one of my dept. colleagues whose husband is starting chemo for Stage III colon cancer on Monday. :-( When I got home, it was actually HOT out there, so I decided I’d eat some dinner first & then wait until about 6-ish for my run. Long story short: something didn’t sit right and the stomach cramps were such that I had to lie down. I figured it would pass shortly, and I’d get out there. But I ended up dozing off and didn’t wake up til 9:30 pm. x( I’m kinda disgruntled because it was such a beautiful day, and I was looking forward to getting out there, but on the other hand, I can double up the next two days and still get in all the scheduled workouts for the week. Since the mileage won’t get intense for awhile, it’s not a major deal.
Jackie …my HM is hard to compare to anything because it poured rain during most of the race. I did lose some toenails after that one. I suppose Sunny’s just been busy. Hopefully, everything’s OK. Let's hope those cabinets get done soon.
Wendy…YAY! Love the thread title.
...Glad Joey had a much better day…I never used to stop and walk through the stations---just made a mess of myself and/or choked :7…but the last couple of races I’ve done, I finally just slow to a walk til I’m done drinking…that way I actually take some in! *lol* Yesterday’s run (now today’s) called for 35 minutes. It’s interesting--Galloway’s plan measures by minutes during the week and by mileage for the long run. The Bingham book arrived last night (a day early, yay!), so I’ll take a look at his plan and do some tweaking…Your post about your grandma touched me b/c I felt the same about my Oma. She lived in Germany and passed when I was 12. There was this intense joy during visits but frequent separation, and then she was gone too soon. Sometimes I look at today's technology like the texting and webcams and I think it would have been so cool to have that back then. But I think that is why I still delight in snail mail letters and packages.
Wendi…wow! ^^^ 5s on the stellar performance!...my fingers are crossed that you’ll be happily moving in a new career direction, which is far more important than Chicago. There will be other GTGs, I’m sure!
Judy…your mention of the Quorn meatballs reminded me of my one cousin who takes a bunch of razzing for being vegetarian from the (literal) meatheads in the family…he hosted a gathering at his place this past winter and didn’t tell the guests til everyone was about to leave that the meatballs were tofu! I thought it was hilarious…Which rooms are you thinking of painting?
Dallas…smiling about your Poltergeist! Glad the quake wasn’t a big one. We had a small one about five years ago. I was teaching and it was like the floor “rippled.” Weird for those of us in areas unaccustomed to it.
Carole…Judy does have a dream workout room, doesn’t she?...so, what do you think of the Jump Snap? For some reason, I do not think this one will enable me, but heavy cheetah endorsement usually does me in.
Christine…you are just hilarious! I so look forward to meeting you in person. :7 …Kudos to DD15 on her belt placement! I feel the same about both the early bird thing and the need for downtime…Awww, that was a cute one from a normally zany (in a good way
) site. Nice job getting in a workout though you’re still not feeling 100%.
Shelly…SO glad the new realtor is a decent one, and you’re feeling better about it…my fingers’ll be crossed that the house sells soon for you…holy moly! That was quite the marathon session…How was The Mikado?...Oh definitely…I’ll enjoy my workouts---but it’s a break from the constant mental spinning I will gladly welcome! I’ve never carried a phone before—just my car keys. Then again, when I raced before, my phone was GIGANTIC! *lol*
Have a great day, ladies!!!
