Good morning, cheetahs—
Whoo, I sorta feel like I’m skidding into the end of the week here…(more on that later).
Gloria—we are not off on Columbus, either, but we do get Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which is tomorrow. The timing is perfect, so I can get my stuff together before the trip. IA, the airport makes for some fascinating people-watchin’. Sounds like Pip is the perfect addition to the household.
Wendy—yes, they are an hour behind us. So, did your salsa lessons happen last night? If your knee is feeling really good, I think you could scratch the itch and get out there for a nice n’ easy run.
Wendi— I know what you mean about utilizing your time off. If you don’t get caught up (or even better, get ahead), it just means “hell to pay” later…That stinks that the infection isn’t clearing up. Why did the doc appt. take so long?…how do you feel today?...I had to snort at the line, “…and I saw Jonathan putting the moves on his sis last week.” Something comical about that…Actually, this is just how they are…they rally around people in good times and in bad. It's an awesome place to work!
Judy—oh, shucks—thank you. Linda’s socks sound like they might perfect for the PF-prone foot. Thank you for posting the recipe. I’ve saved it to try in the near future.
Christine—you had quite the revolving door Monday night, eh? You must be the most popular folks on the block—understandably so! J
Linda—How do the legs feel today?...I am lucky—and very grateful to have all this incredible support. I didn’t expect it, and I didn’t know I needed it, but wow, is it a wonderful feeling at a time in training when worries might have crept back in. The funny thing about it all is, my own sister and BIL have never asked once how training is going. *lol* Do you have a Fleet Feet near you? That is where I find the Balegas. The gift card is perfect—I’d already scheduled a massage for the weekend post-Chicago…Know exactly what you mean. When I did my 18 miler, that is when I started to get this sappy feeling—like wow, I can do this! Oh, I do want to get Spirit of the Marathon—thanks for the heads up!
Carole—So, you’ve figured out a plan for mom. How far away will she be from you now?...I am not usually nervous to fly, but for this time, I do feel some butterflies! I will bring the scrapbook. I want to read over some of the messages Saturday night…*lol* Ut oh, are we gonna get in trouble in Chicago? J I’m thinkin’ if the Evil Cs emerge, it could get ugly! Hey, I read the Silversmith has in-room massages! J
Shelly—awesome job pulling a run like that after those long shifts and just a nap. Wow! And your mileage is seriously gettin’ up there! I’ve been thinking it’s less likely that I would run Napa because if I do a second mary, I would want it to be more than a “to finish” program, and I would really want to work up a good base—and drop the last 20...It turned out to not be a normal workday, after all…I’m starting to forget what normal is. *lol*
Jackie—3” heels at 80? I bow down! I don’t think that will be a reality for me. Even after the marathon, I am going to try to wear flat shoes to work more often. As much as I love the look of a heel, I think my achilles and my bunion is better for it…Any Chicago recommendations? Sounds like you have had busy days in the office.
Karen—hope that calf behaves. Now might be a good time to invest in the foam roller. That’s a nice perk of being a homeschooler that you create the master schedule!
I decided to reschedule my runs to today and tomorrow. As of yesterday afternoon, I was still knee-deep in work that HAS to be done by the time I leave school today (since I’ll be out for two days). As Murphy’s law would dictate, anytime you have a monumental to-do list, you are bound to fight with temperamental copiers anduncooperative computers. *lol* Oh yes, it’s become comical. J
But part of the reason I am so busy lately is because of the TV Tech class I was assigned to do this year. This is the class that films the daily news show which is later broadcast in homeroom every afternoon. I really enjoy it, BUT the media guru who runs it FT has been out recovering from hip surgery that she had the second week of school, so after a super-fast crash course in learning how the studio operates, it’s been pretty much constant daily scrambling to prep for the show and maintain the Power Point slides that run all the time. Even with three teachers pitching in—during lunch or prep periods, basically whenever we can—it is hard for us to do this woman’s work because we are busy teaching all day. They did not get a sub for her. So anyway, with this coming on top of the normal workload and TL duties, it has just been putting me in “crunch mode” for a bit. It’s fine, it will settle quite a bit when she returns from leave, but for now, me poor scrambled brains are working OT just to try to keep everything straight. *lol* Hey, I might just STAY in Chicago. J
Have a kick-butt hump day!

Yes, I enjoyed Ripped and Chiseled. I admittedly cursed at Jari several times but that doesn't mean I didn't like the workout.
