Morning!
Heidi – I’m SO sorry for your loss. I hope the service goes well and her children are okay.
How sad that she won’t see her first grandchild. I love DQ, I worked there as a teenager. I have some fun memories of that place, lol.
Sherry – The scale is behaving so far this week. I’m maintaining the loss from last week but haven’t added to it. Gotta work it, I guess.
Gayle – I totally agree, I don’t know what’s going on….if it’s environmental, or something we’re eating that’s causing this wide spread disease. I pray they find a cure or at least a preventative measure that everyone can take. I’m sorry to hear about the other young man in your town, that’s very sad.
Oh, I’m listening to a new audio book called “Plain Truth” which is a fictional story of a young Amish girl who gives birth secretly and the lawyer who’s defending her. Quite interesting, I was listening to it on my long run last weekend. I was trying desperately to keep my mind off the humidity and heat!
Amelia – I think a week off from weights might actually be good for you! I see more definition after a no weight workout week (or very little weight workout week). I think it gives my body time to heal and my muscles look “fuller” for some reason. If you start up again next week, you’ll probably see strength gains or at least strength maintenance. It’s good to give your body some rest sometimes.
I didn’t believe this until I did a P90X rotation!
Connie – (((big hug))) You’re doing a good thing for yourself. Stop the mental beating up and think of all the good things in your life. We all slip, it’s a part of life. Now pick up, dust off, and come back strong!
Melissa – Great job on leg work yesterday! I am SO looking forward to the STS squat rack workout, I can’t wait! Your dinner sounded delicious…..yum! Did you get your new Oxygen yet? I was flipping through it quickly last night and there’s a section on quick healthy meals (tons of recipes). I also got my Clean Eating and Runner’s World so I’ll be busy this weekend, lol.
Hi to Belinda! I hope DS’s apartment search goes better this weekend. What a tough decision for you to have to make!
Well, I took a rest day today. I’m planning on doing my 18 mile long run tomorrow. The weather forecast is calling for 90+ degree humid days on both Saturday and Sunday. My plan is to get up extra early and be out on the path by 5:00 or 5:30 am. I’ll run until about 8:00 am and finish up on the treadmill. Guess it’s just going to be another one of those miserable runs, lol. This is the hard part of training for distance races during the summer, the heat and humidity.
