Hey there Cheetahs! I’m grumpy today. Nothing major, just TTOM and I’m tired… I’ll get over it.
And as Gayle points out – IT’S FRIDAY!!! It’s tough to be TOOO grumpy when it’s Friday!
Judy - Enjoy your run! I used to run the Canal toe path in DC that runs along the Potomac River when I lived there and enjoyed it very much!
Wendy – I hope Joey is feeling better and you can get in some gym time if you want it! That would be fun! I have SuperSets taped from Fit TV and a list of exercises from it. I’m thinking of trying it. Looks fun. I’ve heard it’s a bit light, but I would think if you really up the weights it would be a great workout.
Gayle – having been a single mom for a bit, I can sort of understand that feeling, but mine was a divorce that I wanted, so I knew what I was getting in to. I think you’re an incredibly strong woman, not to mention a wonderful mom, to be able to take such good care of your boys, and run marathons. I’m in awe of you.
Wendy Marie – I wear my runners ½ or 1 full size bigger than my regular shoes, especially after I lost several toenails from my shoes being too small and running down hill. So, it’s normal. And 40’s nothing to dread … I am enjoying my 40’s. (I’m 42). I’m smarter and more secure in myself, and I’m discovering things I never thought I would – like I CAN run 8 miles. That was an amazing idea when I learned it!
Carole – 6 minutes for DH? Wow! That’s great! And WONDERFUL news about John! I’m so glad he’s going to rehab and that he’s coming along! He remains in my prayers. I just got MM yesterday, so I’ll do it Sunday to get in a muscle workout before I leave for North Carolina Monday night to help my dad move in to the beach house.
Laurie – Sounds like a wonderful stretch!!! And I know the feeling of running late AGAIN!!! Hope you got there on time!
Jess – Ahh, sleeping in! I cannot wait until tomorrow to do that! I envy you! Sending good vibes to Greg. Every man I know whose undergone that was nervous, but they all came through okay.
Mattea- Have fun with PS upper body and let me know what you think! And yes, I know what you mean about the “it’s gotta be quicker this way…” Glad you are feeling good, though! How far had you meant to run?
Katie – I’m soo sorry to hear that you upper back is bothering you!! I’d return the shoes, too – too coincidental!
Cathy - Glad you enjoyed your run and I love the GS CT Timesaver (the superset one) premix. That seems to work me harder than the full version – I have no idea why.
Well, the mountain bike ride is out as we have some “weather” here from Hurricane Hector (I guess technically he’s a Typhoon as he’s in the Pacific) so we have wind and overcast skies. I don’t mind the overcast, but the wind and bikes and I just don’t mix well. *grins* I don’t like running in the wind either, and I’d like to give running a rest at least one more day, anyway. So, I’m thinking I’ll do Circuit Max and do only lower body with it. I have a lunch date with an old friend at 11:30, so I’d better get moving. With the girls going to school, I’ve been getting up earlier. Had you said to me back in May that I would think getting up at 5:45 was early, I’d have laughed. Now I do think that! I’d better find a job soon otherwise I’ll never be able to get up at 4:00AM again!
