Morning Folks!

I am up at my usual time today. YEAY! When DH got up for work I JUMPED out of bed to make sure I didn't roll over and go back to sleep. :p

My elbow is still pretty sore and not capable of lifting so bis and tris will unfortunately not get done today but it *IS* getting better atleast so that's good.

I will stick with my original plan today of playing around with the new step routines. Perhaps I will be able to figure them out after all! :7

Cathy: I am bad about not really looking into details of a race (like parking!) until the very last minute (as in tomorrow morning!:eek: ) but since you asked me I will see what info I can find and pass it on to you today at some point. :)

So what's everyone got on tap today for work outs? Doing anything else fun perhaps? DH is working so it's just me and the kiddo and the dog. I have to go foodshopping since I blew it off y'day. x( This does not make me happy but it's my own stinkin' fault! LOL I also need to do some laundry. I will be taking DS to my mom's later on as she will be watching him overnight for me for the race.

Alrighty, BBL!:)
 
Hi Wendy and everyone to follow!

No need, Wendy. I can look it up, too. I just thought maybe you were familiar with the area and has an insider tip. I'll check it out a little later...Sorry the elbow is still too sore to lift, but it sounds like it's on the mend...Fortunately, it's only going to go up to the low 70s today, so I will head out for a run at some point today. Maybe late morning, early afternoon as I'd like to do some of my work this morning and a run will be a nice brain de-fogger. :)

Hey Cathy.

Sorry I can't help with the parking. I don't go to Seaside so I will be just as clueless as you. LOL Your plan to run AFTER getting some work done is a good one. It's amazing what exercise can do for one's mental state. :)

Off to get more java!:9
 
Ummmm....well...er...ah...ummmm......

I don't know about that either. :eek:

I will check that out too though........PROMISE!:p
 
Morning cabbers

Boy are you two up early this morning! I'm up earlier than I truly want to be...Cody had basketball practice this morning. Can't wait for that kid to get his drivers license. Did I just say that???:eek: :7

I'm kinda grumpy this morning b/c Cody got me up and I didn't have time for java before heading out the door. The school is only 4 miles away....but it was a long 4 miles without coffee. I'm starting to chill out now. (as ms. grumpy takes another sip);)

I've been up bowling......it is addictive.:) Thanks Cathy...like I need another excuse to procrastinate my cleaning. Just kiddin'.:) Cam's gonna love this! Here's one for you now....

Cathy - Your posts truly make me smile too.:) I would very much mis this forum if it were here no more.:( I lost my internet for a couple of hours last night, and I was not liking that one little bit!}( You all are so neat to converse with and it is eerie sometimes how much we all have in common.
Yes, the LIS choreo is much easier IMO. I pretty much caught on to that by the end of the routine. I think the next time I do it, it will flow very well.
*lol* about the polaroid. I have never karaoke'd. I think everyone in america is probably thanking me for that.:7

Wendy - Glad to hear the elbow is better. Do you think it will affect you at all tomorrow?
I really don't have a lot on tap for today. I'm gonna to the KB new workout today in lieu of kenpoX. I have just a couple of loads of laundry, vacuuming and minor cleaning. It really shouldn't take long if I just get to it. Tonight we have the football banquet. I'm supposed to make a potato dish, but I really don't make potato dishes, b/c I don't like them. So, I'm bringin' a green bean casserole. I'm sure nobody will even notice.
Cam is still at Grma's and Cody wants to go there after practice, so I'm hoping for a kid free afternoon.;-)

Diana - OMG....I didn't realize you were sending all of those videos! Holy crap.....I've got a lot of new videos.

Thank you!!!!
Hope you are feeling well enough today to do a new Cathe.
I'm sending you a PM...

Laura & Nancy......have a great weekend.

Somebody stop me!!!

My credit card is smokin'! I gotta get off the main boards.....I just took the plunge and ordered Squeeze. That's alotta doh for a single workout, but all the comments about the DOMS sucked me in. I know most of you have it and like it so I thought WTF.:eek: :p Just what I need after getting all of these other new workouts. LOL!

A couple of days ago I also ordered some heel seats for my shoes to help with my heel spur or plantar fascitis or whatever it is that I have. All I know is that my heel hurts like crazy sometimes and a nice soft cushion in my shoes would definitley be a welcomed relief. I hope they work.

I'm here without kids.:) I need to finish some things off and get downstairs to workout before I waste this day away.

Angie
 
I'm back.

I've been doin' laundry and a bit of cleaning. I did my practice run of LIS (which went better then I expected but that very first move in combo 1 just kills me!) and just steam mopped my kitchen and bathroom floors!:7

It is such a gorgeous freakin' day out! I put DS down for his nap early today so he's due to get up in about 30 minutes. Perhaps we won't waste this weather and will get in a long over-due trip to the park this afternoon. :)

Angie: OMG no coffee!?!?! I feel for you girl! I am simply not human with out my coffee! YIKES, what a horror!}( I have no idea if the elbow will affect me tomorrow. It COULD force me to hold my one arm a bit differently depending on how my arm swing feels on the elbow but I don't think it will cause any real problems overall. Atleast I HOPE NOT!:eek: It's still not 100%. I wouldn't dare lift with it yet but it's DEFINATELY better then it was last night! So did you do the new KB work out? How did you like it? I think it's fabulous personally! :)

BBL!
 
Hey girls

*lol* about the mopping Wendy!

It just got nice here too....it's been raining and dreary for the past few days. Hopefully this will stick around for tomorrow to make the 5th wheel winterizing easier.

Hope the yucks and the elbow cooperate tomorrow for you....I know you'll do just great!

I did get the KB workout in. For a KB workout, which I don't generally like, it was good. I don't like sidekicks though and I'm not sure why....just not my thing for some reason. I also didn't like the cool down/stretch music at all!:-( I think my favorite cool down music is in stepworks with the "how do I live without you" song.

Off to make the green bean casserole. I'll check back later tonight to see how everyone's day went.

Wendy :: I’m sure we’ll find something in the area…I have a nose for food! *lol*

Angie :: Thanks for the hangman game link…it’s cute…I’m gonna have to share that one with my students…This is even worse: http://www.addictinggames.com/pacxon.html Can’t wait to hear what you think of KB…enjoy your kid-free afternoon!! Time for mom to rock out!!!…I hope you do enjoy Squeeze…As I mentioned on that other thread, I just do my own lower body mishmoshes as add-ons…I love the leg work against the wall and the ab work…I think it gets the inner thigh like nothing else…I hope the heel inserts help. ETA: Your post snuck past me there. I'm not crazy about roundhouses - I never think I do them right, so I'm glad Cathe seems to avoid them, too. Maybe it'll grow on you more over time. I can't remember the cooldown music on that one.

Diana :: how are you feeling today? Are you all getting snow or is that just the mountain?

Laura :: I don't think you pop in on the weekends typically, but HEY, if you do. :)

I just ran 6.16 miles (gorgeous, gorgeous weather!!!) and am feelin’ UP!! Did the core work from KB…man, I http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/love/th_heart.gif it. This series just ROCKS. Also did the warmup and combo #1 from LIS…OK, you know I’m a step dunce http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/th_dunce.gif ...I picked up a *little* of it ~ well, the warmup was OK… the combo I need to practice. I get easily lost when she turns away from the step. But it’s cool. It looks fun and fresh, so in time, I’m sure I’ll get it.

Have a GREAT day!
 
Hi ladies,

We had Jerod's last football game this morning, which unfortunately they lost. We scored first but went downhill from there. The coach gave them a stern talking to at half time and we did great the second half but we lost by one touchdown. Jerod starts practice next week with the all-star team. They only selected 18 kids out 120 kids to play on the all-star team. We are very proud that Jerod has been selected. This is the 3rd year he's been selected.

Afterwards Jerod and I both went to the Dr. I have a nasty sinus infection which is exactly what I thought. I do not plan on working out today but might preview the new step w/o's. I try a new w/o but I just don't have the strength today.

We are having beautiful weather. The temps are in the low 70's, sunny and breezy. Overnight though it is supposed to start snowing. I don't expect too much, maybe an inch or two and it will melt on Monday anyway.

Wendy-I wish you the best of luck tomorrow. Don't forget to enjoy yourself while your out there running. You will be great. Hopefully the elbow pain will be gone by tomorrow.

Cathy-It's so awesome that you are going to support Wendy in her first HM!! I have no doubt you will pick up Cathe's choregraphy soon. I suggest watching the hard parts a couple of times before you try them in the w/o. Maybe stand on the front side of your step and follow along that way-so you're facing forward when she turns away from the step. Just so you can see the moves and follow along facing them instead of away from them until you get it. Does this make any sense at all. I do not think you are a step dunce either.
Nice run today, sounds like the weather was perfect.

Angie-Glad your package arrived. You might like the pilates tapes, they're worth a try. Of course, I will want your review of MIC. Trust me, this one starts out easy and then OH MY...I'm so happy when we finally get to the step portion. MIS is a great total body weight training w/o. And now you have Squeeze on the way...you go girl. You have plenty to keep you busy. Jerod doesn't start basketball until January, but yep he'll be playing.

Have a great weekend ladies,

Diana
 
Cathy,

DH said he thinks the main drag going into and out of Seaside is a road littered with eateries so it should be pretty easy to find something to our liking.

I have most of what I need for tomorrow ready to go...

I am getting nervous now...YIKES!

I wonder how long before the "What the heck was I thinking when I signed up for this!?!?" thoughts start parading through my head!:p

So you plan to be millin' around the area at noonish? I estimate being done between 12:30 and 1:00 so long as the race starts on time. If you will have your phone on you I will call you when I'm done if I can't find you reasonably quickly. I would tell you to look for my DH when you get there and just hang with him but you've never met him before so that's not gonna work now, will it? LOL :p
 
Angie: So how'd the casserole turn out?

Diana: In terms of having fun while I run, I plan to bring DH's Ipod so I can listen to tunes while I run. I just can't run for that long with out something to keep the mind occupied even though I'll be outside. If my friend were still going to be running with me I probably wouldn't bother with it cause we would chat instead. Oh well.
 
Oh, BTW....one question since I know Cathy and Diana have run one before....there SHOULD be port-a-potties or some other bathrooms available for use along the HM route, right???
 
Absolutely Wendy-they have port-a-potties scattered throughout the course. Theres probably a race website that would identify the mile markers where you could find them. Have fun..I can't wait to hear what you think of it when you're done.
