Hey there Cheetah Babes!
Did a 5 mile trail run with a nice elevation gain this morning – about 1500 feet in 2.5 miles. It’s a wonderful up and then down run with some great fast single track that you can race over. It’s one of my favorite trails – through the redwoods with gorgeous views into the Valley and over the Bay.
DD14’s musical was fabulous! They have one kid who had the lead and stole the show – he’s such a great actor. But there were several good actors and it was just a fun time. DD14 did wonderfully, too! She told me that she wanted a lead role next year. Great to have aspirations! She’s at the cast party right now after helping the gang tear down the set.
Heather – Happy Palm Sunday to you, too. Sounds like you have a great workout plan! Why does a recovery week work for you? I find my recovery weeks a bit tougher than my others as I’m doing such different stuff, but I enjoy them.
Sunny – Whenever you get the urge for a puppy, just picture your house after a rambunctious dog runs through it chewing everything, and the urge will go away. Well, for most people. Not me.
Your cruise sounds heavenly!!! I’m so jealous! I’ve been thinking of jumping rope, too – it’s fabulous exercise. I may have to cave…
Wendy – Ever feel that the world is against your good eating habits? I think of life as a challenging dance between what we know we should do and what we really want to do. WAY TO GO with being almost done with the PT exam!! You’ll rock as a PT!
Gayle – you have SUCH will power? You still haven’t used that iCycle yet? I’m impressed. And GREAT JOB on being so close to goal!
Carole – I’m so glad to hear you’re getting so much closer to recovery! You’ve been a wonderful example of how to recover. Thanks!
Karen – I do tempo runs of 4 or 5 miles. Anything more and my legs are toast. Anything less and it doesn’t feel right.
Jackie – enjoy your rest day. I’m glad Carole’s advice worked for you! I find it usually does as long as you are confident and act like a boss dog.
Shelly – sounds like a really wonderful day you had yesterday! I know you’re careful and don’t do the crazy things the kids do around here on the twisty mountain roads, but I saw another accident this morning after our hike, so I worry. Such a mom, I know! Great job on the run! I must get me one of those foam rollers!
Linda – no word yet. She’s at a dog show this weekend, so I probably won’t hear until tomorrow. DH is very ready (or he’s tired of me talking about it all the time). We’ll see. Did you enjoy P90X? Good luck with the rotation! It sounds like a great time.
Kristi – Ah, a nice Catholic girl with Mass and everything. Sounds nice though. That was always my favorite part – the blessing of the palms. Good job on your run! Doesn’t that make you feel incredible to run further than you ever have?! Sounds like you’re right on target for a wonderful half!
Have a great evening everyone!
