Good morning ladies..

Getting us started today..I am scheduled to do a 45 min interval run and a segment of Ab circuits...But, I think I will sub for the elliptical or a classic step workout...not sure yet.

Looks like rain here. So, we may not head to the pool today..I do have a few errands to run. Tomorrow afternoon we are headed to the inlaws in PA for the weekend..

Talk to you later..
 
Hey Kathy!...
Hey Girls!!

Crazy thing today, I think I may do MIC afterall! I may just be in the mood for it, afterall. It's still pretty damp/wet/drizzly out this morning (supposed to clear later), so a run is out (I like to run on the grass at the park, and don't want to soak my sneakers). So, yeah! I think MIC is going to happen today!!

:eek::eek:

Enjoy whatever you end up doing, Kathy, let us know.!!

BBL!!!
 
Hey, just finished HIS cardio. Another set of friends are coming into town today so I need to get into work soon so I can wrap up everything early. It was a good choice since I felt so sluggish this morning!

Kathy -- we keep on getting marine layers climbing up the mountains and falling but no rain. It would be nice to have a solid rain here...the water situation is pretty crazy. Enjoy your workout!

Chris -- I just read this really interesting article about running barefoot on grass and how that's supposed to be better for your feet! I'll have to see if I can find it and I'll send the link to you...
 
Hello Kathy, Chris, Hottie & all the rest of the gang here ;)


So far I have been headache free for 2 days yay!

Back to my workouts which were sorely missed - I'll be back on my Squeeze/Cardio rotation.

Yesterday I sent off my son on his way to Ft Lauderdale to start his cruise.

My oldest DD's boyfriend is back from combat in Iraq for a few days so she is spending all her time w/ him. Sadly he needs to return to his company next week. He does not want to go but must; the boy has seen things that no normal 19 yr old needs to see. My hubby actually spoke to him about the combat stress since he was also over there when he was active duty. It's not easy and before Sam came back home I pretty much told Chloe what to expect as far as his moods. They usually come back thrilled to be home but it's a big adjustment for them to come back to the 'world' (depression, not feeling like they belong etc etc).

So I've not been online at all much. Classes start for me next week.:):confused: Getting ready and stuff.

Yesterday we drove back to the community we will call home God willing next year since Chloe had not seen it - she was thrilled w/ the club house pool area and all the natural walking trails. We also spoke to the agent and we have started looking at what upgrades we want ( hardwood, granite yada, yada, yada) we are all so anxious to just do it already but waiting on Anthony's HS graduation next spring :::sigh:::

Anyhows I just wanted to let you all know I've been thinking of you all even though I'm not posting much at all - I have a feeling once school starts it will be even less :( since I also plan on getting a part time job to help pay for our tuitions and our move next spring/summer ugh.

Big Huggles to all :D

Oh geesh! I thought I posted after my workout today!!

MIC was NUTS! I got through the hi/lo (huffing and puffing and swearing! LOL), and for some reason the Step was TOUGH for me after all that hi/lo. I could NOT do the blasts at the end, I had to stop. I was already feeling like i was going to throw up, seriously!

Hottie
: HIS is a goodie! Love it!... have fun with your friends today (like I need to tell you, LOL!). Hmmmm ... that'd be interesting to read about running barefoot, but I'd be leary about it, not sure if I'd be stepping on sticks or stones or.... doggie-doo! :eek: LOL!

Vilma
: SOOOO glad to hear your head is better! What a relief for you! I was just today wondering if your son had left. Must have been a bittersweet thing, being happy for him, but missing him (and being jealous! LOL!). It blows my mind about what soldiers in Iraq go through and how they would feel coming back to this. It must have been good for him to talk to your DH about it. You go on those Squeeze workouts!!!! Let us know how it goes!

Spent a good part of the day at the Children's Museum with Jake today. He was so amused there. AND , we went to the library beforehand, and I picked up a new book, THE SHACK. I was able to read for 2 hours while he played!! COOL!!!

Hope you're doing ok, Joanne and Beth!!!
