Good Morning Cheetahville Saturday!

[gwd]

Good morning Cheetah babes!

I only have a couple of minutes before I have to get out the door this morning for the show but I wanted to let you all in on a little secret. The CT people want to sign the year lease on my pony on Tuesday….WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Okay, it’s not set in stone until that day but she was *perfect* the moment she stepped off the trailer. We left her there (which we ordinarily wouldn’t have done) and the kid had a lesson on her Thursday night and they fell in love with her.

I can’t put into words what a relief this is for me…I actually cried when I heard the news. I never wanted to consider a lease because I needed her SOLD and you never know what kind of condition they’re going to come back in when the year is up. However, this is a *very* reputable barn and I know the care and training is first rate, plus they offered a lease price that ended up being more than half what I would have taken for a purchase price. I just couldn’t turn that down. They’re so happy the trainer wants us to bring another load of ponies and horses on Tuesday for some of her other clients to try. This could end up being a really good thing…fingers are crossed!

I also wanted to thank everyone for their kind words regarding my little tirade on Thursday morning. You gals are the only ones that I can say anything to. I tend to keep everything inside in the real world because no one else understands the fitness *thing*. They think that it’s terrible how I “starve” myself and “kill” myself working out….*rolls eyes*. I can’t talk about any of my ups or downs because I just get that “look” from them. So, a great big “Thank You” to all of you ladies!!!! You really are the bestest as, I think it was Lorie, said! You have no idea how important having you guys here is to me.

My *tentative* plan for the next couple of days is to run on Sunday, 4DSKB/BC cardio and Legs Monday, and probably start BBC on Tues, then a run with my SO on Wed. It’ll be the first time we’ve been able to match schedules to run together. I’m going to try to catch up on personals but I’m a little tight on time. If not, I’ll see you guys tonight after the show.

Thanks again!

Sunny – WTG on your run yesterday! I’m in the same boat as you regarding the cold weather…I’m finding it hard to motivate myself to go outside and run. Perhaps some good cold weather gear will change my mind, too.

Lorie – Oh, dear! I’m sending you all the {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}} in the world. Has someone got a voodoo doll of you or something?!?! On the plus side that is the third *strike* so to speak. You should have nothing but good luck for awhile…goodness knows you are definitely overdue!

Lori – Wow, great run yesterday! You guys have really got me itching to get back out there…I so miss that wonderful feeling of completing a really good run!

Judy – Awesome run girl! Now that’s what I call multi-tasking! That’s some hectic day you had yesterday. I hope you had a great time with your guests last night.

Kristi – You make me feel like a slacker…I’ve only got one item of Christmas shopping out of the way. So glad to hear your DH is home safe and sound!

Carole – You and hubby (even with your “difficulties”) do beoooootiful work! Sounded like a great workout yesterday.

Christine – So, how ‘d you like your new Rykas yesterday? Have fun with the party today! BTW, I’d call that an exciting evening yesterday. Glad DH is finally home!

Shelly – Our very busy bee!!! I know what you mean about letting others get the better end of the deal. Next time put yourself first for a change, eh?! Try to get some time in there for you, dear! And thanks for the kick in the arse the other day…I needed that!

Wendy – I know I missed you but I’m wishing you a wonderful getaway this weekend!

Okay, gotta run. Love ya babes!

Hello lovely cheetahs,

wendi- thanks for getting us started. that is wonderful news re: the lease!! i know it will be a big relief for you. enjoy your workout today.

lorie- oh no...lol. when i wrote that i meant, 6 is his age. i have 2 sons. the oldest is 6 (will be 7 next month) and my baby is 2!

judy- i can understand dh's concern. my dh also shares the same concern. it's nice to know they care..;o)

Good morning!

Wendi - Big Congrats on leasing your pony! Your workout plan sounds great! Enjoy!


Sunny - Good job on your run! It is amazing how cold it seems to have gotten, all of a sudden! And even when it is 50 in the afternoon, it has been still feeling "cold"! I understand exactly how you feel about "losing the enjoyment" out of your running when training for your half! Several times I wanted to just stop "training" and adding mileage and just go back to my shorter runs for fun. I would cut back for a week or so...and then I would get the urge to go on. I think that helped me. Plus...as the others have said, when race day comes...it is sooo exciting and fun! I know it is tough to keep pushing ahead, especially with your little ones and clients, though! But you can do it! ((hugs)).

Yesterday I ran 6 miles and did SloMo CB&T. Today I think I may just do abs and nothing else. We are still under the weather!

BBL! Hi to everyone!

Linda

Good Morning Lovlies:)

Can you beleive that it is 9:00 and I am awake before DS? This is the latest he as ever slept in! What a lazy boy!

Im planning a run for today outside. I would like to do 10 miles but we will see what happens. The weather is a little chilly and there is a tiny bit of snow on the road but if I wait long enough it should be gone.

Wendi** Thats awesome news about your pony. I guess you are releived? I also know what you mean about the "cathe" world and the outside world. I don't even bother explaining it to people anymore. Have a good day!

Sunny** sounds like you have a good day planned.

Linda** We posted at the same time! Probably b/cit takes me forever to check in.I start checking in and get up a million stops! Good job on the workout yesterday.

I have to do some housework today and prepare for supper tonight.Ill chack back later!

LORI:)

to top off the craptacular week, i left my laptop cord at work. so my battery is dead and i can't recharge it. i am using df's computer right now but he has work to do and will probably be on it.

did butts and guts yesterday and am a little sore in the posterior area but not too bad. no workout for today. just football, football, football.

i will be thinking of my cheetahs and missing you all!!!

Good morning lovely cheetahs! Hope everyone is starting off their weekend well. I got some unexpected relief last night. Our patient census dropped (very unusual for a Friday nite) and I was able to stay home on call:-) Our staffing has been so bad that I haven't been able to do this for quite a while. Nice timing since DH and I are having a dinner party tonight and I've got tons to do.
I tried out my new workouts yesterday. Amy's ACSII was very very challenging to say the least..... so naturally I love it}( Warning about it... do not get this one if you are at all choreographically challenged. Very complex moves in this one. Kelly Coffee Meyer's Cardio Sculpting workout was fun. Definitely a sculpting workout and not one for a heavy weight day. The moves are easy to learn and as always I enjoy her style. Today I will be doing the upper body work from 4DS, no cardio today since tomorrow I'll be doing my last 20 mile run :7 :7 :7 before my marathon.

Lori- Very impressive running from you lately:o :-) 8.5 yesterday and maybe 10 today!!! Are you training for a half marathon? Have fun with your dinner party tonight. The one we are having we do every year. DH is an ex-marine and today is the Marine Corps birthday, so we have a steak and beer BBQ and everyone becomes a "marine" for the night. We give tattoos to everyone and generally have a blast.

Judy- Awesome job on your 10 miler!!!!! That's very encouraging that your hip didn't trouble you :7 :7 :7 So, you've made it into the killer spin class?}( Sounds like fun!!

Wendi- Great news about your pony getting leased!!!! It feels so good when a big mental stress has been lifted:7 :7 Now if you can only get that mare sold! I didn't know that your SO runs also.... how nice!!! I sure wish mine did..... sigh.

SunnyD- Awesome job on your latest run! It is getting to be challenging getting yourself out the door on these cold mornings, but it feels so GOOD afterwards! I think you'd enjoy Kelly's latest workout. Have fun at your DS's game. They look so darn cute playing at that age!!

Linda- I guess you're recovered from that latest bug! Nice job with your run yesterday!

Lorie- My thoughts are with you sweetie! I'm anxious to hear how you are doing!!! I agree with Wendi in that you are definitely due for some good news! It's bound to come your way.... I can feel it!!!

That's it for now! Hi to Carole, Christine (I'm impressed with your grocery trip!!!!) Kristi, Wendy (having fun in Baltimore) and anyone else I missed.

Hi Lorie!!! Posting the same time. Sending you positive vibes!!!!!
Watching football is very therapeutic for you IMHO:P
Take care!!
I love that word craptacular!

Lori - Enjoy your run! It is so hard to believe it is time for snow! Enjoy some quiet time, before DS wakes up!;-)

Lorie - Enjoy the football!! You poor thing! Hopefully, next week will be better! :7

Shelly - Glad you got to stay home "on call" last night! Good luck and have fun with your dinner party! I have previewed Amy's ASCII and both of Kelly's new ones. I am really anxious to try them! I am a tad worried about Amy's step one....but it looks like it will be really fun (once I learn the choreography!). Kelly's looks great and I love how energetic she comes across! I agree with you on her weight workout. This new one has a lot of different upper body moves that I am anxious to try. It would be good to put into a week with a heavier split!

Good morning cheetahs

Wendi...way cool about the pony!! I bet it is quite a relief and knowing you left her in a good place is nice. I'll keep my fingers crossed too. How nice you will be able to run with your SO. Thank you about the beautiful work my DH and I do. We still have a lot more to do here. I am very pleased about the floor...

Sunny...that makes complete sense about running for fun and not torture. Except for one tough marathon I really never looked at marathons or even the training as torture...I loved it! But not every runner feels that way, you do what is fun and makes you feel good. Did you check out some new shoes? Ennjoy your workout and let us know how DS does in his first BBall game!

Linda...good job with 6 miles and Slo-mo yesterday.

Lori...it is a nice feeling fixing up an older home. Ours has needed some fixing up for a long time! Good job on the 8.5 mile run yesterday. That could be nice that DS is sleeping in..:)...hope you can get out for your run today.

Lorie...B&G does seem to create that posterior DOMS. Enjoy football today...

Shelly...good job on finding the Montrails at a great price! What site was it? Let me know how you like the Hardrocks. I hear ya on Amy's ASC2...even in the warm up I was going WTH?? http://smilies.sofrayt.com/fsc/blab.gif[/img] We have gotten spoiled with Cathe as she breaks down all the moves. With this one I will be doing alot of rewinding I think. What is on the menu for the dinner party? Have fun with the 4DS upper body workout. One more 20 miler...:)

Christine...yes it sure does look like a busy weekend for you....:) ..Don't ya just love new shoes!! That was quite a sale at the new Safeway. Your DH's trip back sounds like my trip out to NJ with all the frigging delays! Did he make it home?

Judy..wow..you had a run like I did last sunday, going farther than originally thought!! Way to go on 10 miles!! The instructor sounds very fit. Now that spin instructor sounds tough.

I am planning on PUB Chest & Back, abs, floor legs from something and 30 min on my EXT.

Have a great day...:)
