::: CHEETAHS - Wednesday:::

[kristi]

Susan – Good luck with the 5 miles! You are doing a great job increasing your mileage. Do you have a rotation in mind or are you winging it? How many days/week do you run?

Wendy – Sorry to hear you have been under the weather. I’m glad you are starting to feel better. I’ve never tried Airborne before, but I’ve always thought about it. Maybe I should pick some up. Enjoy your nap. I’m jealous, I want one too!! :) :)

Jackie – You are one fast cheetah to keep the runner’s pace while doing the itreads. I hope to one day be able to do that. Which itreads are your favorites?

Amy – Resting your hip makes a lot sense. It is better most times to err on the side of caution to avoid a more serious injury. Enjoy your rest day!

Shelly – Have a great interval run!

Carole – Enjoy your day today! Glad to hear your quads are doing better.

Christine – Where are you?

Wendi – You sound very busy at work. Try to take care of your ribs while doing your riding marathon. Good luck in your job search.

I should be back after my lunch/workout. Talk at ya later!

Hi there Cheetahs!

FINALLY back at work! Between DH being hospitalized and me being sick, I was gone almost a week. Feels weird to be back. On the bright side – I have not gained back the weight I lost, yet. And my appetite is way down. On the down side – I have not worked out since Sunday. I’m hoping to get a short Spinervals and a 30 minute Yoga session in this afternoon over lunch. I have the Eoin Finn Yoga for Happiness and I’m dying to try it! I watched parts of it yesterday. And you gals can keep your Joeys and Bryans – I think Eoin is absolutely adorable!! I know I’m going to enjoy his yoga classes. :+

Shelly - I wanted to apologize to you. I was joking with you when I responded to your flu vs Lower GI Bug. I re-read my message and it did not sound that way. I appreciate all of your advice and your corrections. You’re a wonderful lady, and I don’t want you thinking I’m miffed – nor do I want you to be miffed at me. I value you way too much! Great job on the 20 miler! And great that DH gave you a foot massage!

Kristi - Hope your run with Chelsea happens! Enjoy your 3 miler and hopefully cooler temps!

Wendi – Horses? You ride horses? I’m jealous! I haven’t been on horseback in ages! I hope your rib feels better – be careful because you can crack a rib sneezing.

Wendy – Your Uncle sounds like a wonderful man! How sweet of him to do that! Hope you’re feeling better. My stomach is still a bit sensitive, but I’m feeling better.

Carole – sorry to hear you’re sore after your run, but it does feel good to push, doesn’t it? I’m so tempted to do maybe a 2 miler today, but it’s going to be so hot at noon. I think I’ll stick to a Spinervals. I’ll run tomorrow AM.

Amy – Good idea to rest the hip! Happy Hump Day to you too!

Jackie – I like iTread 13 Sprints! That one is fun!

Susan – I love that your DD7 did GS with you! How cute! Glad Imax 2 took the blues away – what a great workout! Enjoy your run! Hopefully you’ll get it in before it gets too hot!

Jimmy is getting neutered tomorrow. I would not NOT get him neutered, but I’m so nervous about him going under the knife. Poor guy. He’ll come into the office with me on Friday, and then I’ll have the weekend to get him through the trauma. I’m a nervous wreck over this…

Just wanted to share with you a story I heard on the news today. I thought it was pretty inspirational. Yesterday a 29 year old woman who has down syndrome swam across Lake Tahoe. It took her six hours. She did it to raise awareness of Down Syndrome.

For those of you who don't know Tahoe - it's a big COLD lake nestled around 5000 feet. Quite an accomplishment for anyone, let along someone who is considered mentally and physically challenged. Makes my half marathon coming up in 2 weeks seem a bit more doable... Enjoy!

5 miles DONE!!!! It wasn't even that bad. I am now going to do the kickmax leg conditioning drills and then call it a day:-) I am going out to lunch with my girlfriends for Indian food, YUM!!!

kristi, I am running 3-4 days a week. I do once short one, which is 3 miles, 2 4.5 milers and my long run which is only 5miles right now, but want to get that to 7 or 8 miles. My goal is to get in at least 15 miles in a week and hopefully 20 on most. I am combining that with endurance leg work like Butts and Gutts or legs and glutes and heavy upper body.

Christine, In one of Eoins dvd's, he has his dog doing downward dog. I think it is his first one, just called Eionn's power yoga. He IS adorable and says funny lighthearted things. I like the magically hips section.

Well ladies, I am off to do my leg work.

Wendy, thanks for the info:-)

Oh dear am I behind on personals today. :-(

I just finished my work out. I ended up doing GS shoulders and tricpes as well as Kick Butt Boot Camp's kickbox segment for a little cardio. I was going to do abs as well but I am now thinking I will save them for tmrw along with a run. }(

Gonna go do some housework and shower up. When I come back I will catch up with personals...I PROMISE!!!!!:-) :-) :-)

BTW, I am feeling better by the moment! Airborne is the freakin' bomb man!:7 NO NAP TODAY!!!!

Ok, I'm done acting like a dork...BBL!:-)

[kristi]

I'm back from lunch. I only ran 2.5 miles, 1/2 mile with Chelsea outside and then 2 miles on the treadmill. I need to come up with a good time to run Chelsea. Running her during lunch and then jumping on the treadmill cuts into my actual workout time.

Christine - What an inspirational story! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Susan - My goals rank right up there with yours. I would love to put in at least 20 miles/week. Currently, I'm still in the 2-3 mile range maybe 3-4 days a week trying to build back up again. But I'm planning to up that a little every week. I'm beginning a new rotation on Monday and plan to start being consistent in my training again and my eating. By Christmas I hope to be able to run 8-10 miles comfortably once again. Then after Christmas begin my HM training for the Derby. I want to cut my time down by at least 20 minutes, which I know is doable since I had about 5 walking breaks. The first 5 miles of hills killed me, but I don't want that to happen next year.

Hello, Cheetahs! So, I came to work this morning and had this long post all ready to go. Then, it went into cyberspace and I lost it. Not soon after, someone came to work on my computer (some of my scoring programs for some of the tests I give were infected). He came in at 9 AM and left at 2 PM!!! It took forever (not to mention that my smiley central smileys were deleted!!!)!

So, I have not read anything above but wanted to post.

I was all stuffy last night and was hoping I wasn't coming down with a cold. Well, I woke up this morning with a cold and my chest is a bit rumbly. I managed to do iTread #2 and ran 60 minutes and logged 6.8 miles. I really felt like I was dragging, though. Anyway, I am thoroughly PI$$ED OFF that I am getting sick before my 5K! I went and bought Airborne and have been taking that and vitamin C. I am hoping to dodge it. I will probably take an unplanned rest day tomorrow, although I don't feel like it! x( I do think I might have a bit of a fever and I am feeling like poo. Poor, poor me! ;)

Anyway, sorry for my total self-absorption! I will try to read above and be back.

[kristi]

Lorie - Sorry you are not feeling well. Great job on the 6.8 miles!! Unfortunately there are a few other cheetahs that have been sick too. I hope it goes away before your 5K.

Wendy - I just wanted to add that your uncle sounds like a really nice guy to do that for the kids. What a big heart!

[jamarba]

Susan - What a workout for you today! How are the legs feeling? Hope you had a nice lunch with your friends. How's your friend coming with radiation?

Wendy - Glad you're feeling better and you were able to get your workout in. I think I've tried Airborne once.

Kristi - I really like iTread Sprints #13 & #19. Then there's iTread #21 Intervals. I also like any of the 40 or 45 minute ones.

Christine - Good to see you post. I'm sure you will get back on track with workouts. Nice that the weight has not come back yet. Sending good vibes to you and Jimmy tomorrow. Hope all goes well. Thanks for sharing that awesome story! We should be able to do anything.

Lorie - Great job on the 6.8 miles and not feelig well. Hope you feel better. Do take that rest day if you don't feel better.

It's almost time for me to call it a day. Can't believe the week is going so fast.

Have a good evening!

Jackie

Okay girls...I think I am finally able to do some personals...http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Happy/happy-thumbs-up-050.gif[/IMG]

Kristi: Nice run today. I'm sure you can't wait to get Chelsea to the point where she can run a longer distance with you. Keep up the training and I'm sure she'll be upping her mileage in no time.http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Winks/a-wink.gif[/IMG]

Wendi: I hope your rib feels better fast. Let us know if you manage a work out later. Hope it cools down soon by you!

Shelly: Okay, now what did all that jazz mean exactly: 800m at 10k race pace x 8??? I have no idea what that runner's linger translates to! LOL

Carole: I always TRY to work out if I am not running a fever. I figure if I would go to work with whatever is ailing me then I should try to work out with it as well. :-) How was your time with Barry today? }(

Christine: Glad you are feeling better. I hope your lunchtime work out went well. Did you enjoy Yoga for Happiness? Jimmy will be fine. Don't worry...I know-easier said then done. How's DH doing?

Lorie: Sending get well vibes your way! Hit that airborne hard girl and you should start to feel better pretty quickly! I used it and it worked like a charm!!!:-) 6.8 miles in an hour is pretty darn impressive for someone who is dragging!

Amy: Sending get better vibes to that hip!!! Hope it heals up fast!

Jackie: So it appears lots of you stretch using this foam roller doo-hickey-LOL...Is this something I should consider investing in?? I haven't done ITread 13 sprints in quite some time. I will begin using that one again post HM. I am trying to use #21 intervals on a weekly basis. I am seeing improvement after only doing it 3x!:+

Susan: Oh my gosh how cute that your dd did the work out with you with the 2# weights! I could see my son doing that in a few years!:7

Okay, it's time to get dinner going now...BBL to see what's going on around here!:-)

BFN!http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Happy/hi-103.gif[/IMG]
