Late post for me. The drive home from the beef & beer fundraiser was a bit of a hike, so I'm wired.
Wendi :: Holy smokes, that was a speedy run! Great job!...I think Shelly has a great way of looking at the job change. Hey, and as scary as it is, remember we are with you all the way!!!
...Oh, I *love* the Koolaid man, and yay, I'm glad everybody else does, too.
How can you not be happy when you see him? :7 :7 :7 I did guzzle the stuff back in my day, too. Ahhh, what sugary goodness. Cracked up about you livin' on it til 24. What made you give it up?...Yeah, it was pretty hot out there this afternoon, but not as bad as it was before, so I can't complain.
Kath :: I usually let things roll, but I'll admit, it does get to me at times when I hear things like that being said about teachers. The funny thing to me is that I even have to listen to it from my own family members. *lol* Oh well. No happy hour for me this evening. Too many end-of-year events are happening with retirements, graduation, and so on. I am fading.
...That is good of you to be there for your brother. Sendin' some (((HUGS))) your way. This must be so difficult.
Wendy :: glad I didn't have to send Senor Julio up there in the early morning hours to make ya happy again. :7 I even threw in a classic 80s movie reference in my previous post!
...sounds like no need to cave on TT with AB workin' for you like it is. I imagine they are similar. I need to explore more of the TT site, though, because I can't see myself doing these same two workouts for the next 4 weeks...I felt the kettlebells-only approach did not work my arms as much as traditional weight training. My forearms, core, and legs seemed to respond most to the bells. I still need to figure out a way to work them in regularly.
WT :: I would *love* to make to Hawaii someday, but I'll pass on crashing the lurrrvefest. :7 Very happy and excited for you, though!...Oh OK, I get it about the testing. Your job sounds pretty fascinating. Sorry that the dissertation is a source of such agony. You really did get the shaft with that one. BTW, thanks for your email...I will respond this weekend.
Oh man, the London mary had to be awesome. Such a cool city!
Judy :: OK, you had some excitement this morning, ay?
Glad it wasn't too much trouble to chase it out...Great job being disciplined with the afternoon workouts. It can be hard to acclimate to new habits. Hope you had a great date night.
Shelly :: I have been relying a lot on the pony myself
, despite having had my haircut recently. I just get lazy. Why straighten it in this humidity?...Yeah, they were some surprisingly intense DOMS that crept in! I'm smiling at you in your kick-arse surroundings...good for you!!! It sounds like quite the spot.
Carole :: I wonder if you can watch any of the season 2 episodes on the Showtime site? If not, I saw you can download them on Amazon if you don't want to wait. :7 I'll confess, I downloaded the first book the series is based on. Won't be the same, I know, but it'll help feed the obsession somewhat.
Wow, up in the 100s!! And you use this swamp cooler thing???
Christine :: I'm impressed by all that you do on the "light" cardio days! Your plan for today was also INSANE. :7 I plan to visit the TT site this weekend to scope out some other workouts. I *love* this method of training, but as I posted to Wendy, I don't necessarily want to do the same two workouts for a whole month. Plus, I noticed that there a bunch more exercises being shown & explained than are listed in the actual workouts themselves. No, I felt good today. Tomorrow I'll probably be in pain again. :7
Jackie :: What an elegant workout room for an elegant lady! VERY nice! You have me wanting to dust off AC+ once more. I don't think I fared too well with that one. Which reminds me. The chinups today were on the pathetic side. :7 Enjoy your weekend with DBF.
Gloria :: our kids are generally very good kids, but I don't know what happened today during practice. They were not getting it. One colleague said it was the worst practice he remembers (in 25 years).
Glad you are all set to go for summer school. The advanced studies class sounds interesting. What will it involve?
Posh :: we miss you, too...happy b'day to DD...best of luck to you in Sunday's 5K. *lol* about going into debt paying yourself with those WW tips.
That would be me, too...Thanks so much for the offer re: the Accelerade, but I've unloaded it already. Much appreciated!
After school, I caught the Netherlands vs. France (European Championship soccer) game, dozed off for a bit, and then did TT Day B (incl. my extra triceps set) and then 20 min. of intervals outside. Whew! I think that might have been the first time my upper body was tired out on a run. All in all, a good workout. The beef & beer was fun. I was one number off a winning a "money tree." Darnit. One of my co-workers hit the 50/50: $310. Nice!
All righty, let me call it a night here. Off to bed! GN
