Hello again fabulous cheetahbabes! I had an enjoyable 4 mile run when I got up!! It included 3 bootykickin hills and I kept up a nice steady pace Instead of muscle max next I've decided to do GS CT and give the old legs a break! Tomorrow will be GSBSB and 30 minutes on the elliptical. Thursday will be a very easy 3 mile run and yoga and Friday just a good stretch :7 :7
Carole- "Am I really resting"? ..... WHAT! Do you Doubt me?;-)
LOL, I'm afraid you know me too well. All I did yesterday was some abs.... that's sort of resting isn't it? I hope things are going better for you today! A new iClimb should pick up your spirit!!!
Gayle- I love your story of how you started running!!! It is so touching and inspiring Are any of your sons getting into running as well?
Jackie- I bet you'll be awesome in your upcoming 10k!! I'd say play it by ear and see how you feel. If you're not racing again til July it certainly isn't going to hurt you to take some days off!!
SunnyD- I'd say you may want to find a good 12 step program for
itrainaholics;-) just say NO.... step away from the computer!!!
I'm a fine one to talk!!! I have no self control in this area myself!
Jess- wooohooo bikerbabe!!! Great workout for you!!! Why don't you look into some bike racing while you're getting your running legs back?
Wendy- That's an awesome rotation you have lined up!!! I really like the variety.
Christine- I'm so glad you like the purring cheetah.... I knew you'd go for it. I just love the authentic cheetah purring sound it makes!! All of the BBC workouts use a fullsize step with 3-4 risers under it. Actually, I'd be VERY surprised if I took 1st place next Sat even in the old lady 50+ category. There's this super athletic 50 something lady who comes up from Phoenix each year to compete in this race and her times are mindboggling!!! So if she shows up the best I can hope for is second.... oh well!
Kristi- That's one good thing about living in the high country desert.... don't have to deal with those nasty ticks!!! You have my sympathy! Have a great girl's weekend getaway!! After your race performance you deserve to relax and have a great time!
Okay, I've chatted enough.... time to go do those drop sets of push ups!!!

Hey there, cheetahs
Just finished a 3 mile run, the drills from KM, and abs & stretch from PH. Feel great! Am even enjoying the DOMS in my tris from CST yesterday. Yowzas! Tony got me good.
Sunny :: LOL with you about just going outside and running w/out a clue. I sorta did that, too, when I decided to run (see below for short novel) – was clodhoppin’ around in clunky cross-trainers for a bit…I need to go on leg attack, too…iTrains seem to be the one thing I have been able to resist. Who knows for how much longer. LOL
Wendy :: didja get your yoga DVD??…I am waiting on a few deliveries myself. …Thanks for the info – I am somewhat relieved to hear that, and it does make sense. Yes, I am usually working in the lean rep range…hope you enjoyed tonight’s dinner with MIL.
Jess :: wow, that’s a late practice ~ glad you’re having fun with it.
Carole :: we missed you yesterday…sorry you were feeling down.
Shelly :: yes! This winter I seem to have developed an aversion to running out in the cold, and maybe even more so, the dark. It's great to be getting back out there - I've missed it. Enjoy your night off!
Gayle :: is that PC of yours behaving?….Honest to God, as soon as I got to your post about wanting to put your foot through your screen, my internet crapped out on me. Grr!
Jackie :: I know – it’s hard to believe it is already May. I’m glad for the running weather. Hmm, now you’ve got me intrigued about this Sharon person. LOL
Kristi :: glad you found that tick. My dad has Lyme disease, so our family has become pretty vigilant. Hope DD made out OK at the ENT.
Christine :: I rec’d BBC for my b’day from my parents, and my dad said delivery was pretty slow… I’m jealous of your purring cheetah!…But I’ve got my own…Apparently, there is a black panther on the loose in South Jersey. No kidding.
Enjoyed hearing how everyone fell into running…For me, it was my uncle…It’s funny – I played sports throughout HS but *hated* running…When I was 21, my uncle in Germany was killed just a few weeks before I was scheduled to go visit him for the summer…it was a sudden death, and the whole family was devastated and in shock…my aunt (his wife) was in especially bad shape… It was just the two of us in the house, and I felt like I had to be strong for her…I’d sob myself to sleep at night and do my best to keep it together during the day…Every day, I’d escape on his bike and ride like hell for hours, until every muscle screamed, around the streets of my dad’s hometown…somehow it was therapeutic…At the end of the summer, when I came back home to the States, I felt like I still needed that outlet…but bike riding was not an option – I no longer had a bike at that time, and besides, biking the congested, pedestrian-unfriendly streets of South Jersey is a death wish itself…Strangely, something – some voice from somewhere -- just told me to start running…And so I did…in my cross-training sneakers. (DOH! LOL) It was my way of working through grief. Initially, it was just about trying to punish my body as hard as I could to match the pain I felt inside. Sounds odd, I guess, but it’s truly how I felt. My neighbor at the time noticed me running after awhile (she was a runner, too) and she basically signed me up for a local 5K…Later, it became about more than mental and physical health, it became about challenging myself to do better, conquer new distances, and beat previous times… Now I don’t race too often – when I started running again last winter, it was after a hiatus of about 5-6 years and 50 lbs. (!) So, primarily I run now for the health & weight loss benefits, the stress release, the endorphins, and simply the chance to enjoy the outdoors. Whoo, that was long-winded. Heck, I’m an English teacher. Sometimes it’s hard to be brief. LOL
OK, time to settle in for the night. TTY in the morning!

Evening ladies!
Gayle - Did you get Yahoo figured out? How frustrating! Sounds like you have some tough HM coming up.
Wendy - Your revised rotation looks great!
Christine - Good workout today! WTG on getting your rotation together. I must check out May's workouts on iTrain.
Kristi - A girls weekend away sounds like fun. Hope you have lots of fun! Yuck on the ticks! Hope you got them all.
Jess - Nice bike ride. Glad you had nice weather for it.
Sunny - More iTrains? Do you have the annual membership or a la carte? They are fun. You are not alone. I have the new Slim Series Express coming soon I hope. Variety is the spice of life.
Shelly - Glad you had a good hilly run. Thanks for the advice on the days off. Will see how the ol' bod feels. I say give that super athlete a run for her money!
Cathy - Come on and get on the train! You will love them! Do you have any CIA workouts? That's who Sharon is with. Enjoyed your running history as well as everyone else.
Dancing With The Stars is on now. I think John will probably get to go home tonight but it should be Billy Ray.
Have a good night everyone!
Jackie
