::: CHEETAHS ::: Sunday in the *new* den

Hey Girls.

Work was lame. Surprised? Didn't think so. :p

After my shift was over I trotted over to a treadmill and did ITread 26/30 mins. It's flat and fast. It's an awesome work out. Unfortunately I picked THE HOTTEST corner of the gym to run in! I was dying! I am surprised I was able to finish. I went to wipe sweat off the control panel of the TM at one point and accidentally knocked out the emergency stop button so my time/mileage is only an estimate. I did about 2.70 miles in about 27 minutes.

Off to take a nap now. Heading to mom's for DH's B'day dinner later on this afternoon but I'll certainly get back here before I leave.

TA TA!:D
 
Cathy...we did get some good air quality this morning!

Gloria...the smoke was not bad this morning. Pip is a cute name. My DH also has the "changing the mind often" issue!!

Dallas..how is your SIL today? WOW..4:30 AM til you got some sleep?? Enjoy your workout.

Christine...those two women would have driven me batty!!! Enjoy your bike ride.

Hi to Judy and Vilma!

Well the 6 miles turned into 10!! I have not run that far since Dec. We had some blue sky and felt so good that we just kept running. I know I went out way to fast so the last 2 miles I walked a bit on some of the uphills. The new shoes were great!!
 
I'm back.
I had a nice little 30 minute snooze and a late lunch. Now I'm brewin' up the java and will have plenty of time to catch up on personals before getting ready to head up to mom's for the evening.

Cathy: So what cardio didja' decide on for today? Thanks for creating the social group. I accepted the invite already.

Shelly: You bet I got my nap in! I'm no fool! LOL Sounds like you could use one yourself. Good job on Itread 17. I see even the most die-hard outdoor runners will hit the TM when the humidity is up. Smart move! Hope your long stretch at work goes by quickly.

Carole: I WISH the password email was in my junk/spam folder but it can't possibly be as my email doesn't have any such thing! LOL Great run today! Sounds like you had an awesome time.

Judy: Nice score at the sale! Did you give your DH and big hug and kiss for agreeing to your unexpected larger purchase? DS was absolutely fine with the exception of being tired. He didn't get up until after 8am *usually up by 7* and ASKED to go up for his nap early today. I couldn't believe my ears!:p

Gloria: Hope you are busy bangin' out a killer work out while I type this!;) Give Pip a snuggle for me. Too cute for words! I will post a pic of Joey in the Cheetahs social group one day soon. I just need to take a recent pic first. So what was your CAB of choice last night? I had a couple miller lights and a couple of mikes hard lemonades. Neither one is my fave but they were fine. On friday night I had 2 white chocolate martinis while Wii'ing with DH. YUMMY!

Christine: Yikes on that party! Those 2 women sound like real charmers! LOL Sorry you had to endure their antics. I guess it takes all kinds....Enjoy your relaxing day today. The BBQ was fun. Spent some time in the pool playing monkey in the middle. It was a constant game that must have been going on for HOURS! There were lots of people at the BBQ so people were just getting in and out of the pool/game as they wished. It was a lot of fun and very refreshing. I really went awry with my eating but that seems to be the story of my life these days and the scale is definately showing it. :mad:

So remember my not so wonderful lower body bell work out? Well, it may not have been what I had hoped for but man oh man did my tushy enjoy it! It's ON FIRE today!!!:D Gotta love it! My upper body is still a bit sore as well. It was never FIERCE DOMS but I've been feeling it.

Looks like that catches me up!
BBL~
 
Wendy - Good job on the run in the hot corner!! Phew, don't know if I could have done it. Your BBQ sounds like a lot more fun than mine. Oh well. It's over and I don't have to do that again for a while.

Carole - Oh, sounds like you have the same skies we do! Yay! Way to GO on the 10 miles. I'll bet that just felt fabulous!! Yeah, those women did drive me batty. That's why I like y'all - we don't judge each other that way. I feel sorry for them, though, because it must be horrible to be so worried about what others think. I mean, we all go through it a little, but wow!

Had a great little 30 mile ride! Decided to ride outside because there is a breeze and the skies are CLEAR! YIPEEE!!! It was sooo nice. I really enjoyed it. Got a new jersey, which I really like, so I was feeling styling too (well, as styling as you can get with goofy pants, a helmet and silly shoes. :p Enjoy!
 
Afternoon, cheetahs! :)

Judy :: Nice score @ the MacKenzie Childs sale. Smilin' at the image of you parking yourself on the stools. I must be living under a rock b/c I never heard of MC til now...I'm glad to hear that there has been some progress for your friend. Continued thoughts & good wishes.

Gloria :: sounds like you have great expectations for Pip, eh? ;) I am still just in awe of Wendi & her co-workers.

Wendy ::
Hey Girls. Work was lame. Surprised? Didn't think so. :p
I absolutely busted a gut on this one. Glad you were able to squeeze in a nap before the add'l festivities. Have fun!

Carole :: woo-hoo on adding an extra 4! Always a great feeling when you want to just keep going. Seeing blue skies again must have been so motivating!

Christine :: Well, it was my own fault for forgetting to charge the Garmin, but no harm done..Oh my, they do sound like a pair of shrews you had to endure...Great ride today! Clear skies, a breeze, and new gear--what more can a girl ask for?

I thought I was in a mosh mood, but I wound up doing KPC in full. It's been so long since I've done that one in full, it was refreshingly good.

Hope everyone's enjoying their Sunday!
 
PS...Anybody springing for the Premium Membership?

Uh, yeah. I am all over that, BUT I may wait a few weeks so any kinks get straightened out. Cancelled my WW online membership as of TODAY. :)
 
Hi cheetahs....Mike got a new addition for us:

His name is Bo and he is a black lab....:)

DH and I are making dinner. I will post personals either later tonight if I am up or in the morning.

I do have to add this though . . . YEAH CAROLE!!!!! New babies are the BEST!!!! He is handsome and labs are so nice. Our neighbor has one and he is such a good boy. Congratulations on the new addition. Pip has been sleeping forever!! I gave her her first bath today and she was very good. I had to do it in the sink since she is so small. :D
 
Oh, my goodness--what is going on here? It's like puppies are multiplying on this thread! :D

Carole :: Bo is too cute! Congratulations! How is Sadie reacting?

Gloria :: nice to see more pics of Pip and such lovely scenery.
 
Hey, I thought this was a thread for Cheetahs, not puppies LOL...just kidding!!! Awwwwwww!

Didn't get out of work until later than expected. Can you believe one of the clients came out to ride her two horses at 1:00?!?!?! WTH...it was only a refreshing 95 very, very humid degrees today :eek:! Sheesh!

However, I was a good girl and did get that KB mish mosh in. I started with 4DS KB and then did KPC 53 min premix (the one that goes warm up (omitted), intermediate drills, combo 1+2, high intensity drills). All I can say is WOWEEEEE!!!! Talk about a sweatfest :D.

I think tomorrow's going to be a "run for as long and as far as you can" kind of day. It feels like it's been ages since I ran last. It's supposed to be a little showery so that should be perfect as long as I leave the glasses home lol.

Gonna go grab some more seltzer and I'll e right back with personals. TTFN!
 
Hey, I just found something cool, but I'm sure you guys have already figured it out. If the thread has more than 10 replies you can choose to have the enitre thing appear in a seperate window rather than just following the reply. Kinda neat.

Cathy - Thanks for the invite...nice feature! You are a very wise woman to skip the run today. I think today was the worst, by far. It should be nice tomorrow though. Was I sending KPC vibes your way? Glad you had a great time with it. I forget how much I love that one. Premium mempership??? I haven't had too much time to check out all the new stuff here...guess I'll have to check it out.

Posh - WOW, quite the late party! Have you recovered yet, love? Hope you got some good sleep.

Wendy - Oh, poor Joey!!! Sending some sound sleeping {{{VIBES}}} his way. How awful for the little guy. Did you check your spam folder, as Cathy so brilliantly pointed out, for that password. That's where mine was hiding. WTG on your very hot run at the gym! Sorry work sucked x(. *ANOTHER* bday dinner??? Wow, I wanna celebrate bdays with you guys! Sounds like that BBQ was a good time, too! Glad your butt liked yesterday's creation.

Shelly - Hi there lady! Missed hearing from ya! Sorry that work has been tough and you're not sleeping well. It sounds like your bod could use some TLC, too. I guess you're right about the oversleeping, especially since I know sleep is going to be in short supply this coming week with a horse show and a (possible) mini-RT for the Friday class. I'm still on the fence for that one for so many reasons.

Gloria - Oh, I like "Pip!" Besides, you *know* she'll end up being called Pippi or Pipsqueak, right lol? Those are too syllables ;). Did you check your spam for your password? We have Cathy to thank for that heads up. Beooootiful pics...can I come for a visit? Thanks, hon *blushing*...no, not wonderful, just feeling helpless at the moment :(.

Carole - Oh, what a nice surprise!!!! Did you have any idea that DH was bringing "company" home? Wooohoooo, on your 10 miler...must have felt wonderful!

Judy - Glad to hear your friend is holding his own. You all continue to be in my prayers. Oh, don't I wish we had had even a single drop of rain :(. It was 95* and *VERY* humid today. We joke that there's this giant bubble over our farm. It NEVER rains on that property. LMAO on that sale...sounds like it was a mad house! I had never heard of that store before. Nice score on those stools!

Dallas - I hope your SIL (and you!) are feeling a bit better...how scary! I couldn't even *imagine* beign able to do a workout if I had gone to bed at 4:30...wow! Hope those legs lossen up a bit for ya. Glad to hear that you enjoyed Dark Knight! I do want to see that at some point.

Christine - Wow, I would say you've had quite a busy week! It's no wonder you're feeling it a bit. Uhhh, quite the nice group of ladies at that party :(. Some people really make yu wonder, don't they? LOL, it's taking me a bit to figure out the most effiecient way to do personals in the new format. Great job on the bike ride today! I'm sure you're styling sweetie! BTW, I miss your wagging pooch, too.

Gonna sign off. I'm starting to feel the effects of my workout all of a sudden and I am getting T I R E D! Nightie night!
 
Vilma - Oh shoot, sorry I forgot to say "HI". Bad Wendi...where are my manners lol? Glad the night terrors resolved themselves. Must have been very unnerving for you. Glad to hear that you drop by to visit...this ie one amazing bunch of women, isn't it? I *HEART* this group.

BTW, have you guys gotten the "limit your smilies to 4 per post" error message. That just bites x(.

Good night for real this time ;).

Carole- What a beautiful puppy! Was this a surprise? I adore black labs, probably because of my black kitties! ? Congrats on 10 miles today!

Our friend is doing well today. We all went to see him tonight. He and his wife are celebrating their 23rd wedding anniversary today.

Wendy -a hot corner to run in sounds awful!

I did iTread #4 60 minutes today. I have been putting a fan on infront of the TM for added air.

Cathy- I laughed at your multiplying puppies observation. KPC is a favorite! I missed something. is ther a premium offer here for a pay memberchip? What does it do compare3d to the free option?


Where has sunny been?

Off to bed...

Sorry for not getting back. I never got that work out in nor a nap. I'm seriously dragging at this point. :( Yeah, my niece woke about a half hour after they left for the hospital. Two hours later I got her back to sleep. I have to admit, I enjoyed our bonding time. ;-) She's a momma's girl, so she doesn't let anyone hold her when dsil is around. :) Anyway, I got home about 4A and my kids woke up full of energy at 6:30A. I just couldn't get moving today. :(

As for the legs, they feel pretty good except for the chaffed areas. That's giving me more trouble than anything. UGH! I'll get back tomorrow.

Have a good night.

Dallas
 
hello

Hello Friends,

I’ll have to get used to the new forum! I was really dragging today! DH and I got the birthday party mess cleaned up and then just lounged around the rest of the day and watched Tombstone…. again (one of Dh’s favorites) lol…I must say, Kurt Russell is another to add to the hottaaay list…lol. I also did pop back over to my neighbor’s house to help her get a flight to Chicago booked. My toe is doing fine - the nail did crack and it is sore, but my nail person was able to fix it up a bit and I can run just fine thankfully. Our run Saturday was not very good due to smoky conditions but we’re going to try to get a good 8 to 9 in again on Tuesday am early since a bit of a breeze has come in again to clear some of the air. Anyhoo, DH has had a toothache and I’ve been helping him with that so my personals got put to the wayside…again! I’m sorry, there’s so much I want to chat with ya’ll about in response but here I am again after midnight and I must get to bed….hopefully tomorrow I can get in the time for personals…

Have a good one ya’ll!
