:::CHEETAHS::: IT'S MONDAY!!

Hiya Cheetahs!

Whew...the day got a little away from me! I didn't get to most of my to do list but I did get to the running store. I ended up having to get a pair of custom orthotics because of my &*^%#$ left foot (the right one is picture perfect, of course) and a pair of Brook's as they seemed to have the most arch support and were among the more reasonably priced. I did end up spending quite a bit more than I would have liked but if I don't like the orthotics I can return them within 60 days for a refund so I figured it couldn't hurt to try them.

Alrighty, let me go get my dinner together..."faux" souvlaki made with cod instead of chicken/beef and tzatziki sauce made with FF Greek yogurt. Can we say YUMMY :9 :9? BRB with personals.
 
Hey there!

Jackie – We must have got the rain today…that you got yesterday!
Good job this morning on your 4DS cardio and C&B! I really need to start doing pull-ups again. For some reason, I just kind of let those slide ;>)

Cathy – Thanks for the link to the nachos supreme…I mean Novice Supreme schedule ;>) I printed it off. It looks like a good one! I want to see Spirit of the Marathon….but I don’t know how I will see it. It isn’t and didn’t play here. Also, I have been looking for Run Fat Boy, Run….and it isn’t playing here, either :<( Your run last night sounded good…as well as 4DS!

Judy – Your run Saturday sounded wonderful! Did you enjoy your golf yesterday? How did DD’s race go?

Shelly – That would be so exciting to have a whole month off! I know it will be tough, getting ready to move and all….but at least you can kind of do it at your own speed :<) Good job on your 3 mile fast run yesterday!
Glad you had a better night at work! Hope you enjoyed your circuit and EXT!

Gloria – Good job on your run this morning! I know what you mean about always changing your mind if you say you are going to do a certain workout, or rotation!

Wendy – LOL….oops! Don’t mean to enable ;>) But seriously, I think they got a lot better as time went on. I truly think #7 is awesome! I don’t have PP. I am going to have to try to get that one soon! Good job on BBC!
Glad you had a good visit with your friend!

Christine – Wow! You did really good in your “placing”, too! That is so cool about the 95 year old man! I would truly consider him a “hero”, too! :>) Oh my gosh! I can’t believe you ran past Paul Newman and Joann W.!! How cool! I am so jealous about where you are!! ;>) But so happy for you, that you are!

Lorie – I figured you would do cardio! :>) Good job on the EXT and yoga! Enjoy your NROLW and your tiny bit (uh huh, yeah right!) of cardio ;>) Enjoy!

Wendi – Great job on your workout! I have NEVER been able to do the levitation holds! Good job!

Kath – Good job on beating the rain and getting in your run! It sounds great! Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your DD!
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe that beautician did that to your hair!

Carole – That was really nice of you to take food to Betty and visit. I am glad she is doing well! Hope you enjoyed your 4DS shoulders, abs, legs and EXT! When you take your Zyrtec, are you able to workout and /or run as usual? Or does it kind of slow you down?

I didn’t run or workout this morning and I am not going to tomorrow morning. We are having our bloodwork done at work in the morning and I am going to not workout until either tomorrow night or Wed. morn. When we had it done all of the other times, I worked out hard and ran beforehand. I think that messed up some of my results, soooo, I read that you should refrain from it for 48 hours. I will see what happens this time. Anyway…..

Have a good night everyone!

Gloria - Glad you had a nice run this morning! The schools in our area seem to have a tremendous amount of testing and, IMHO, I think it cuts into the instructional time far, far too much. The kids here in NY have "Regents" and, besides the fact that the teachers have to "teach to the test" it seems like it takes almost two weeks out of every school year, on top of their mid-terms and finals. I recently was able to see what an average HS freshman had for homework/coursework and it was stuff that I had done in 7th grade :eek:. This was in a private Catholic school so I'm not sure if that made any difference but I found it very disappointing.

Cathy - Awesome workout yesterday! I hope you enjoy your yoga tonight.

Kath - Glad you got your run in! Good for you for finally putting your foot down and leaving that hairdresser. I'm happy to hear that your hair has recuperated. Poor DD...those mock interviews would be tough for her in her current condition.

Shelly - Wow, busy bee! I hope you are able to put a sizeable dent in your to do list...I failed miserably at mine today lol! Aw, come on, are you saying that's not some twisted Shelly-type workout that you wouldn't have come up with yourself :p? Heehee, it actually equated to about a 10 miler ;).

Wendy - WTG with BBC! I should take your lead and try those...I'm not sure why I'm dragging my feet so much with those *shrugs*. I hope Charlie Brown did the trick for DS ;). I hope you get some good zzzzz's soon, you do sound a bit tired.

Carole - You have such a big heart!!!! What a truly wonderful and generous thing you did for your friend's mom. I'm so sorry to hear of yet more bad news surrounding you and those you care about. IA about the Big C being everywhere. One of our clients was recently (Sept) diagnosed with ovarian cancer, has had surgery, is going through her second round of chemo and it still doesn't look good. She still comes out every weekend and rides her very lovely horse who loves her dearly. It's been a very rough winter ;(. Regarding my injury...had a very large horse rear and flip over on top of me at a horse show (not showing that day, just getting him in the ring to let him see the sights). I was actually on my feet before the EMT's got to me, I just couldn't straighten up lol! The vertebra burst into six nice little pieces...nice, huh? Regarding our jack@$$...we hate him more than you can know, probably because he's hurt each of us pretty good at one time or another. He trampled me about two years ago and broke two ribs, he's knocked his owner unconcious when he flipped over on her, etc. Wonderful animal.

Jackie - Oooh, enjoy those two hours of pure heaven...I'm so jealous, aaaaah! I hope you got some good zzzzz's. It seems like there are a bunch of us that could use some catching up in that department. Oh, fun workout for you today! Adding pull ups in after HIS C&B...wow!

Christine - I am so jealous of you right now! What an absolutely gorgeous race!!!! Congrats on your awesome finish! How inspiring that that 95 year old gentleman was able to accomplish that! You do have me thinking about maybe joining you for that one next year...maybe, just maybe? OMG, too funny about Paul and Joanne. LMAO at the mule comment!

Lorie - LMAO about the pet psychic...couldn't hurt as we do know that he has neurologic issues from time to time but I'm almost beginning to think that he uses that as an excuse to be bad. Wow, you're really getting some kick arse workouts in!

Linda - Wow, you have been logging some serious miles...wtg! Sorry they weren't your best runs, but at least you got something in, right? Nah, I have a cast iron stomach and I'm pretty drug resistant in most cases...except when the pharmacy overdoses me *rolls eyes*.

Judy - I hope you had a good time golfing this weekend. I was hoping to get to the driving range today but it's been pouring since daybreak. See post to Carole ^^^^ regarding my injury. I will say that losing all the weight and getting fit three years ago has made a tremendous difference with regards to any lingering pain.

HI Posh and Sunny!!! I hope you're both well and not *too* busy lol
;).

WOW, sorry for the novel guys! I promise I'll shut up now :p. I want to get to bed early tonight anyway as I know it's going to be another tough work week and don't want to start it already behind i the sleep department. Hasta manana chicas!
 
hey ladies,

no time for personals tonight. just wanted to check in and report my workout today tracey staehle's circuit zone. i am very disappointed with this workout IMO- definitely not an advanced workout. didn't get my heartrate up one stinkin' bit. i turned off the last 20 mins and did icycle 1, 20mins. had to do something to feel like i got some sort of workoutx(
please remind me to never, ever buy another "weight" workout from tracey.

i am anxiously awaiting her strikezone and have my fingers crossed it is a keeper.

christine- awesome race!!!!!

have a good night all:)
 
Hi Linda! You snuck in while I was posting my novel. Enjoy your unscheduled rest days. I know you'd rather be out there running but it probably is a good idea to lay off for just these two days. Hopefully all the results will come back picture perfect.
 
Sunny - Sorry to hear that Circuit Zone was a thumbs down for ya :(. Your's isn't the first less than stellar review I've read about that one. Can you bump up the weight and at least make it a good one to have for a "light" day? I hope Strikezone is a bit more challenging.
 
Hi there...

Quick report here. I ran with grace today to iTread #12 40 minutes and stayed on a bit longer to get in 5 miles in 47:30. (That is fast for me)

Linda- Thanks for asking about DD. They actually had several mini races out on the lake. It was an informal scrimmage. We did enjoy the day, but the kids were out on the water for 3 hours. I don't know how they made it without having to go to the bathroom!

Linda- good luck with the blood work. I would have a harder time giving up the caffeine!

Sunny- sorry about the crappy WO Are you sure you don't want to give NR a second chance? It is proving to be more of a challenge with heavier weights.

Christine- What a lovely weekend with DH!!!!!!

Wendi- Yikes your career is dangerous!

Shelly- So what did you get accomplished today?

Good evening Cheetahs!

Christine - Your post sounded so relaxed and pleased. Glad you're feeling good. No rain today. Lots of sunshine but the temp is dropping. Frost warning is out for tonight. How cool that you saw Paul and Joanne. Hobnobbing with the stars. :) Great about the 90 year old man winning the 5K.

Lorie - Great job with NROLW! Glad Eoinn makes you feel soooo goooood.

Wendy - How did shopping go with DS?

Gloria - Glad your run was good. I work for USPS. My official title is postmaster but right now I just help my manager out. So much more fun. I still have to deal with employees but I don't have to manage them. Hope you got some relaxing in.

Wendi - Hope the new shoes and orthotics help. Let's both try to catch up on some z's tonight. Maybe I can sleep through the night.

Linda - I have my pull up bar in the doorway hoping it will remind me to do them more often. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Good luck with the bloodwork tomorrow.

Sunny - Sorry Tracy's workout was a disappointment for you. I know to stay away.

Going to watch DWTS. Have a good night.

Jackie
