***CHEETAHS***Happy Friday, 9/8

Hello everyone!

I'm back. It has been a super busy day. I got my 6.5 mile run in with hubby. It was a little slow but good. I have eaten like a COW today. I went to Chevy's with a girlfriend and it has been downhill since.


Cathy, how did you like KM? I don't usually reach for this one and I am not sure why, it just never grabbed me.

Judy, I hope you enjoyed your run!

Carole, It sounds like you are really enjoying your gamin. It is fun to have a new toy.

Jennifer, where in California are you?

Wendy, I loved my jogging stroller when I had it. My girls really enjoyed it too. I never ran with it, I always walked. Sounds like you have found a running friend. It goes by so much faster having someone to talk to.

Laurie, sounds like a great yoga session. I love doing yoga! I need to fit it in more.

Jess, I am right there with you with weird periods. I have them every 21 days right not and it used to be every 30. It is a total bummer not knowing if it is come in 21 days or 3...UGH!!!
My husband needs to get the snip too. He is too chicken!

Elaine, how do you keep from getting bored for 20 mile runs. I am going to attempt a 10 miler on Sunday. I just can't imagine running 20. Is it boring? What do you use for motivation? How does your body feel afterwards? Sorry, to be so inquisitive I just am fascinated with you runners that run that long.

Christine, are you on vacation right now? I must have missed that conversation. Also, where in San jose do you live? I am right up the road in Pleasanton.

Laura, great job on your 3 miles. I know that feeling when the legs feel like lead.

Jess, I love Baron. I like is long and lean dvd as well.


Adri, I amazed that you do gymnastics for 3 hours and also do Cathe. You are one tough chick!

I hope I got everyone. If I didn't it because I have a food hangover.

Have a great evening everyone and I will talk to you tomorrow.

Cheers!
Susan
 
Good evening Cheetahs.

So I did ME upper body premix which includes the ab work this afternoon at nap time and then ran 5k with my friend in the park tonight.

We are planning to run the race course on sunday morning together. }( I wanted to take Joey out in the jogger but it wasn't put together in time today and if I try to take him on the course on Sunday I think I'll die! LOL I'll have to make time to run with him...I bought this thing, It would be nice if I used it now!:p
 
Hi Cheetahs,
I have read the posts but am too kaput for personals just now. Forgive me. I just survived KickMyASS!Max and am now ready to die. And here I thought I would do GS BSB afterward...ha ha ha ha! What a laugh. Off to the shower. I hope I can move tomorrow.

G'nite, all.
 
Thought I'd do one last check in for the night....

Adri, Sorry about the gymnastics class x( . How is school going? What grade are you in? Do your friends do gymnastics and/or workout too or are you out of the ordinary?

Susan, The only time I don't like running really long is when I am running the same route over and over. It's not really boredom, just major dread. Same thing when I run a really long out and back. Something about knowing that I have to turn around and cover the same ground again makes the distance seem longer and harder. As far as getting bored goes, I just don't, even when I run alone (which I've been doing for a couple of months now....I ditched my running partner (long story) My DH runs but we usually do not have a babysitter for our 5 year old DD.). Of course, I never run 20 miles when I am not training for a marathon so I suppose that is the thing that keeps it from being boring. It's a part of the big picture, has to be done. And you know what else? I love doing it!!! Wow! Now that was a long and drawn out answer to a simple question!!!

Christine, Yes, it is getting close for both of us! I went to the St. George website today and I felt what I think was a heart palpitation when I looked up in the corner where they have the countdown. 28 days for me, 29 for you!!! Really only one more hard workout week for me. I'll run 13 on Sunday then 20 the following Sunday then taper. When do you begin your taper?


I have to admit, I have KPC, tried it maybe twice and just could not get the hang of it. Is there a secret about how to do this workout or something??? Same with Rythmic Step.

Have a great night everyone. Talk to you tomorrow.
 
Hey Sekcy Cheetahs!!!
Just came home from the mall!!! Got some cool new stuff again. Pretty sweet:p Am Jogging first thing tomorrow morning. Around 7 probally. Can't wait!!! Its supposed to be beautiful out and...O #### now it won't. Bet the weather heard me again..LOL:p

Susan- Great job today with you run and with your DH! Keep it up;-) Don't worry too much about the food. A sekcy cheetah like you has to treat herself once in a while:7 Also, a 3 hour practice is the minimal we practice at gymnastics. The highest is 4.5 hours (was like this last year not sure yet this year) and regulary 4 hours MOn and Wed. Friday is just a get togather practice and go over our full routines and condition. Keep up your good work!

Cathy- I love Kick my ASS Max!!! Yea it kicks my ass but I love it!! I really like the leg conditioning drills in this one, and really like the choregraphy in KPC. But love both!!! Keep it up. Tell me if your ass hurts tomorrow:p :+

Wendy- Wishing my sekcy cheetah a great race on sunday!!! Good luck girl:D:D

Elaine- school is going pretty good so far (only second day) Today was my first full day. Its pretty cool and all. I'm in pretty much almost all the same classes w/ most of my friends which is a bonus. OMG you watch the weather right (well DAH your a cheetah;-)) but you know that Dave Santoro weather guy? Well guess what.....He's OUR MATH TEACHER}( }( That was sooo funny. Everyone was askin him questions about the weather and stuff it was funny. So ANYWAY, I'm in 8th grade, my last year in middle school!! Next year is High School I can't wait!!! None of my friends from school do gymnastics or w/o. I guess I'm just out of the ordinary if thats a good thing;-)


See all you cheetahs tomorrow!!!! TGIF!

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry with your girlfriends.

Oh my gosh... I totally about spit my water out!! KickMyA**Max!! That is hilarious. I know, it will kick ya too! I don't think it's that difficult while doing it (of course I'm sweatin' like a fool by the end of the blasts!) but always feel it the next day!! Let us know how you feel tomorrow!

Hugs,
 
Oooh, we have a Chevy's!! We ate there for our anniversary, I love that place! My dh really loves their chips & salsa. I love their Chicken fajitas but they give you a TON of food!!

I like Baron's yoga too. He's not too *out there* like some yoga. I just like it for the stretch, I'm not into the whole *clear your mind* thing...

As for running longer distances, I don't mind them. We usually pick a different route each time which changes things up a bit. I also run w/ my friends or at least someone!! I don't think I've ever had to run over 10 miles on my own or I don't think I would enjoy it as much. I did my 21 miler last weekend since I'm marathon training. I know that there is a goal in mind & I *had* to do it. Most of our long training runs we just chat along & have a great time. It's like going out for coffee w/ your friends except we're out there running! We know LOTS of stuff about each other, we have plenty of time to chat!! :p And if you met me IRL you'd know that I don't shut up too often.... ;-) I can always find something to talk about!

I'm glad that I'm not the only one w/ weird periods. I talked to my Dr. about it when I skipped for so long before & he wasn't concerned about it. I've never been regular & he said as long as I have 1 or 2 a year I'm fine. I know I'm not pg & definitely won't be now!!

Hugs,
 
Adri ~ Enjoy your run/ jog tomorrow. I hope the weather is nice for you! I'm glad that school is going well for you. Sounds like you keep busy w/ your workouts & gymnastics!

Take care & get your rest. (I'm a Mom so I can tell ya that! LOL)

Hugs,
 
G'evening! Checking in again since I don't have to go to bed quite as early! I don't have to get up til 5:30 for our run, yeah!! Erin, Lea, & I are running. Lea is just running 8 w/ us again, she's doing so well w/ her half marathon training already! And then Erin & I will finish up 4 more for our 12. Melissa is running w/ her *team* (team in training). It looks like the weather will be nice.

Well, my dh survived his procedure. He is a bit sore tonight, but not too bad. He was feeling pretty decent until about 8 & then he didn't look so great. He said it just feels like someone kicked him in the balls! (I shouldn't laugh, but it was kinda funny!) I've been taking good care of him. ;-) Went & rented some movies & he's been relaxing in the Lazyboy.

OK, better get a few things done & head to bed before too long. I'll update after my run tomorrow!

Hugs,
 
Yeah, Elaine!! You're getting so close too! I feel the same way about running the same routes. We like to change things up, even just running it backwards, a different loop, etc. I don't like long out & back routes either, unless I'm not too motivated then I'll run 5 out just so I *have* to run 5 back to finish! :p

So... share your ditching your running buddy story!! ;-) I wish my running pals were a bit quicker, but I love them & the company so much that I don't mind running a bit slower. I try to run quicker at least once a week. But they have lots more experience, they've both run 4+ marathons. I'm still the rookie. ;-)

Have a great night!

Hugs,
 
Wendy ~ I'm glad that you have a friend to run with! Doesn't it make it so much more fun & go by so quickly? It is harder to run pushing the jogger, just so you know! Once I'm done marathon training, I'll get back to running w/ Allison more often. Only 2 more weeks to go.....

Hugs,
 
Hey Jess! Thanks for your very "mom like" words:D I bet your a great mom. I bet all you cheetahs who are moms are great! You all have very lucky kids;-)

Jess- Have a great time running tomorrow morning. You have my wishes and luck to you:)

TGIF!
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry with your girlfriends.
