Cathy - Glad you're happy with your pedi. I don't have Classical Stretch. The massage was excellent. This guy was an athlete and he knew exactly where I needed him to massage. He also did some stretching and it felt so good. The best massage I've had. This was another deep tissue.
I have to run now. BBL for more.

Good Sunday morning, cheetahs 
Jackie :: best of luck in today’s race!!! That massage sounded heavenly. I did not schedule one this month because I spent a good bit on all that expensive makeup. I’m sure I will need one in September when school starts.
Wendy :: my sister has been talking for some time about getting the reduction done, too, but I don’t know what she’s decided. I see that you are very good about “inspiring” others. Workout DVDs, tattoos, tatas…*lol*
Shelly :: hope you enjoyed your rest day.
Gayle :: crackin’ up about the suspenders – yep, I need those, too.
Amy :: I completely agree about wings & fries & such. The less often you eat that stuff, the more it bothers you when you do indulge. Hope you had fun at the BBQ…I hear you about the hugs at school…you have to be so careful.
Carole :: it was the first time doing (part of) KM with the gloves…I use them occasionally for other KB workouts, but I would like to get heavier ones…*lol* about the hole-y shirts and shorts. I used to be terrible about getting rid of race t-shirts ~ they were like badges of honor. *lol*
Christine :: safe travels to NYC! Too cute about Jimmy’s butt wiggling at the prospect of a run. How is the HR today? I agree with Carole that it could be a number of things, not necessarily overtraining, but here is a link to the ACE site for other signs of it: http://www.acefitness.org/fitfacts/fitfacts_display.aspx?itemid=353
Judy :: a hill-less park with restroom access sounds like a great spot. Enjoy golf today.
Yesterday, I goofed. I decided to take a nap in the late afternoon and wound up sleeping all the way through (!), so no run. I suppose when that happens it’s a sign that the body needs its rest, but I was annoyed with myself nonetheless. I do feel well-rested today, though, so I’ll be sure to get in my run, KM drills, and some ab work later on. I want to get myself back in the habit of PM workouts b/c that’s what I usually have to do during the school year.
Something else happened yesterday when I went to the mall -- my sunglasses (Ray Ban$) were pinched by three little kids. No kidding. I was wearing a baseball hat, so I had them resting on the brim when I went into the mall. I took them off while in the fitting room of a fairly small store. When I dressed again and went to leave the store, I adjusted my baseball hat and I think, at that time, they might have flown off. The store was in chaos – a mom, her friend, and three of the unruliest kids I’ve ever seen had taken over the store. The kids, about ages 5-10, were running around, making tons of noise, and getting into everything. As I reached the store entrance, I realized the glasses were missing, so I combed the store and the fitting room – the glasses were nowhere to be found. I even asked, “Did anybody find sunglasses?” Neither the kids nor the mother responded. It was a small store, and I never actually set foot off the premises, so I’m certain they were “lost” in there. Not such a big deal if these were $10 Target glasses, but they were $130 polarized Ray Bans. x( DOHHHHHHHH!!!!! I guess that will teach me to be way more careful.

Good Morning!
Jackie: Good luck today!!!
Cathy: OMG, I am sooo sorry about the sunglasses girl!:-( Some how I have a feeling though that you will patiently wait and come Black Friday at 5am, you'll be in the closest sunglass store around to get yourself a great deal!:+ Oh yes, I am a great enabler!
OUCHEES! My legs are KILLING me girls! OMG! LOL After I posted yesterday morning the DOMS started to kickin in 10 fold. I could barely walk. Today it's still bad but I THINK a bit less then y'day. I have a run scheduled for tonight.....this should be interesting!
I am considering doing an upper body work out today too. It's not a part of my original plan but with the run not being until tonight I may get antsy. You know how a Catheite can be!}(

[font color=blueviolet size=+1]Good morning cheetahs[/font]
Jackie...Good Luck on the race!! The massage sounds wonderful.
Cathy...I have to say I have LOTS of race shirts. I agree that your body must have needed some rest as that is why you napped so long. So sorry about the sunglasses!! I get so annoyed when kids are running around without supervision in a store like that. Especially when they are accompanied by a parent!!
Wendy...was it a B&G premix that fried the legs?? Could make your run tonight interesting...
I am heading to one of our lakes for a 12 mile trail run. Then I should do some stretching...
Have a great day...

Happy Sunday Ladies I'm so relieved to say that I actually got a good solid 8+ hours sleep last night...YIPEE!! My inner b!itch/brat was rearing it's sorry head way too much with fatigue and anxiety so it's nice to feel relatively calm today. What do you gals do when your mind races with directionless worry? I was skimming "The Secret" in the wee hours of Saturday morning and reference was made to the mind having a party at my expense, kinda hit the nail on the head for me. Oh, I bought the car and should get it next week. Not sure what my workout will be today, I'm thinking Circuit Max cardio, some upperbody work and abs.
Cathy, bummer Dude re your glassesx( Some people's kids hey...grrrrr... Congrats on the smaller pants size!
Jackie, we're there in spirit cheering you on for your race...GO JACKIE!!! Nothing like a good massage, my kids gave me a gift certificate for one for my birthday, I went a few weeks ago and it was such a crappy massage that I called and complained so I'm getting another one on Tuesday. The crappy one was from someone I used to work with. I should have left right away when he walked into the spa's lounge to get me and said "hey sexy" but I let it go because the guy is so socially awckward, the massage felt like one from first semester when I as in school. I'm really looking forward to Tuesday though
Wendy! What the heck did you do to get such a major dose of DOMS?
Carole, one of the men that lead our group for the half training last year had the coolest quilt. His wife had made it with all of the race shirts that he has accumulated over the years, I thought it was a fantastic idea. Enjoy your run on the lake today, sounds so peaceful and scenic. You will definitely earn that stretch!
Better get working out!

Wendy :: Er, uh, ahem, I already bought a new pair. I spoiled myself once I went w/ polarized lenses and cannot go back now. It really makes things look more crisp, and I just hate driving without them. Tonight's run should loosen up the DOMS nicely.
Carole :: enjoy your long trail run & stretch! I agree about the unsupervised kids. Most of my race shirts are pretty old, but I still have many of them. There were a few from favorite races that I wore until they literally shredded.
ETA: Hi Laurie! Glad you slept well. When my mind is really overworking itself, the things that relax me are: a good running, k'boxing, or yoga session, an escape to the movies or with a good book, some kind of pampering treat (maybe a pedi or massage), time with friends and family. I tend to gravitate toward people who are positive and upbeat. If you are around people who are full of angst and negativity, it can rub off. I also try to think positive, shake off the negative thoughts quickly (admittedly, I had some this week), laugh as much as possible, and remain grateful. I've read The Secret - interesting ideas. Basically, I do believe in karma and putting positive thoughts and actions out there...congrats on the new wheels!...and ick on the lousy massage. What a creep...I've seen those quilts, too. Good idea.

Good workout today, a little mishmosh of CircuitMax and LowMax. During the weight work of CM I inserted one of the blasts from LowMax. Fun! I'm doing a major de-clutter today, papers and accumulated junk. It's cool and sunny here so I'll get in MowMax as well
Cathy, I was nodding my head reading your post re the overworking mind. Thanks so much for your input, much appreciated
I ran on Friday and ended up with a nasty blister on the sole of my foot at the archx( It was quite bothersome while I was working out today, I usually just leave blisters alone but it's really annoying me. How do you Cheetahs deal with blisters? TIA

Hey guys!
I'm enjoying a large salad, getting mentally ready for a house full (or should I say yard full)! I'm having a cookout this afternoon. Making a large pork tenderloin, grilling fresh veggies from my garden (zucchini, onion, eggplant), oven-roasting my home-grown tomatoes, baked sweet potatoes, and I've already made a chocolate zucchini cake with chocolate frosting. Anybody HUNGRY???? lol
Today is a rest day for me. Much needed. S&H fried my legs the other day. Plus I'm tired. I had 'company' till 3am this morning! LOL I forget what it's like to be dating again....all these late nights! LOL
I've cleaned out, wiped down and taped off my extra bedroom, getting ready to paint it. My current project. lol
I'm DYING for a run! I haven't showered yet, so if I can find somebody to play with or watch my boys quick, I'm want to get outside for a nice run. But we'll see. That may very well NOT happen. Keeping my fingers crossed that my new TM belt arrives soon so that I can get that up and running again!

Laurie :: I usually pop mine using a sterilized baby pin and then drain the liquid. A friend recently recommended Band Aid blister stick for prevention and said it works very well. I want to try it.
Gayle :: Mmm, sounds delish! Hope you get in your run. Sounds like things are going really well with the new guy ~ glad to hear it!
It is looking VERY dark and stormy here - I didn't know rain was in the forecast for the weekend. I guess if I have to cancel my run, I will kickbox instead.

Good afternoon Cheetahs!
Today is a rest day for me. My legs are also fried (Wendy!) from doing heavy weights after my run yesterday. ACTUALLY - it really is not rest day because DH and I are going bike riding! We are going to a trail.
DH and I had a late night out and had some drinks! Needless to say, I am tired now! You never sleep well after liquor. But we had a very romantic Date Night. Our work hours are so different that we never get to spend time together! So....Date Nights need to happen more often I guess!
Laurie - I hope your blister feels better soon! I get those from new dress up shoes usually, but not from running yet. Good luck!
Carole - Enjoy that trail run! Wow, good for you! You are awesome!
Gayle - Enjoy your cookout and company today! You are dating again, huh? Good for you! You are one beautiful Cheetah!
Jackie - Best of luck at your race today! Please post pics if you can! Enjoy!
Wendy: Enjoy that run tonight! I must do it in the morning, or else I will never do it. Hopefully your weather is cooler, as it is in Boston. Love this! Can wear a blanket at night now.
Shelly - Put those feet up and enjoy the rest day!
Christine - Enjoy NYC! You will have a blast!
Judy - Enjoy golfing today - hope the weather works out!
Cathy - Sorry about those sunglasses! Strange story! Wonder what really happened! Enjoy your day!
Hello to all Cheetahs! Take care!

Laurie...I have a good running friend that also did a quilt. She ran a marathon every month in 2000, and created a quit from the shirts. Nothing I would ever tackle.....The run was very nice and I used the foam roller instead of a stretch! Sounds like a great mish mosh of CM and LM. Like Cathy, I am a blister popper. I have used a blister prevention product that worked good, much like a fine powder.
Cathy..you have me laughing as you talk about old. My first race shirt was from 1978!!! So are you still thinking of Las Vegas in Dec? I think even my sister might go as she thinks she needs some away time...
Gayle...can we come over for dinner!!??...So dating and late nights.......
Amy...you are so right as late nights and a few drinks can really get to you. Nice you can get in some date nights with DH though. Enjoy your rest.
The trail run was very nice. We had some clouds an it was really cool. I even managed the whole run without any walk breaks!! I think my endurance is coming back...thank God..

Hi Cheetahs! We are back from a much needed vacation but I am still in that mind set. I was supposed to workout today but at 12:15 I am still in my PJs, catching up on laundry. Maybe tomorrow...
Cathy, It must be that I am a much bigger bi&*ch than you are because I would have stood in that store demanding that whoever had my glasses better give 'em back RIGHT NOW!!! Seriously, I probably would have made a scene over $130 glasses and would have embarrassed my kids terribly!! LOL!!!
Wendy, What gave you the ouchy DOMS in your legs? After a week of no exercise other than swimming I am sure I'll be feeling them myself tomorrow afternoon.
Carole, Where did your endurance go in the first place?
Hi Laurie, Amy and Jackie and anyone/everyone else!

Happy Sunday to the Cheetahs! You are all sounding fit and well
I got off work and went for a 5 mile lake trail run (Carole and I must be on the same wave length!) I've had my nap and refueld so I'm ready for more!! I think today will be LIC.
Jackie- You go girl!!!! You've become quite the racing fiend this summer. Can't wait for your race report:7
Cathy- How frustrating about the sunglassesx( I lose those things so often I never dare spring for the expensive ones! Actually that goes for a lot of things I'm afraid. I'd lose my head if it weren't attached to my bod! I hope you're able to get in your run today, if not.... have a great time kickboxing!
Wendy- I'm curious like Laurie- What did you do to get those intense leg DOMS? I confess I didn't backtrack to yesterdays postings.
Anyway, I bet once you start running things will loosen up.... go get em! And work that upper bod too}( }( }( }(
Carole- wooooohoooooo, our SuperCarole is back on track:7 :7 :7 :7
Fantastic job on the 12 miles!!!! You must be feelin good now
Laurie- Cover that nasty blister girl! Glad you got in a good nights rest and that you decided to buy the car.... good move. What do I do when the mind can't "shut down"? Happens alot to me... mostly from work. I deal in such a high tension environment it is difficult to turn if off sometimes. If I'm trying to sleep I'll read to refocus. If I'm awake.... a run of course!!!! No better therapy IMHO. I like your mishmosh circuit workout.
Gayle- Your cookout sounds very YUMMY :9 :9 We should have a cheetah GTG in your backyard I hope you can get your run in!
Amy- Sounds like a great weekend for you with your date night and today going for a bike ride!!! Do you or your DH ever bike competitively?
Time to get moving here. Later y'all!

Shelly...I am feeling just a bit tired. The trail had some killer hills!! Good job on your 5 and then LIC later...wow!!!
Elaine...glad the vacation was good for you. I think due to my piriformis and low back issues a few months back, my running suffered. I gained weight (I am thinking the dreaded hormones!!), I had trouble getting in long runs. I have finally made the scale move and have been doing an interval run every week. So today as I finally made 12 hard miles without walking (I ran slow though), I think my endurance is returning...

Hi Shelly! My DH works for a company that has cabins in various places which were built long ago when the infrastructure for power plants were being built. Now they rent out the cabins to employees so that's where we spent the last week. The vacation consisted of reading by the side of the pool when I wasn't in it. The PF is still bugging me. It's much, much better than it was a few months ago but I have never in my life dealt with such a stubborn issue! I'm really beginning to feel sorry for myself. I am still under the care of a podiatrist and have another appointment in a few weeks so I'll then see what he has up his sleeve next....
Carole, I'm glad to hear the piriformis is better. I can totally relate to losing running endurance. At this point I feel like I'll be starting from scratch. Looks like I'll have to forgo Boston :-( . But will have a new goal when I am back running again.

Evening Cheetahs!
I didn't get to post after my race. Had to help DBF finish filing some things. I finished in 47:18. This was almost a minute faster than last time. The weather was much better today. A storm came through last night and cooled things off a bit. It was still 78 but the sun wasn't so bad this time. There was debris all over the streets from the storm but think everyone made it ok. I still didn't push myself that hard until the end when one of the race workers says " go and catch that guy up ahead of you." That gave me a little motivation to move it. Other than that, I just enjoyed the race. Will try and post pics later.
Cathy - Your baggy pants reminds me of my sis. She's dropped lots of weight but she's still wearing the big pants. I told her to get some pants that fit and show off that new body. Hope you find some nice things. Sorry to hear you lost your Ray Ban glasses. UGH!!
Wendy - Glad you're enjoying your DOMS so much. Hard work pays off in good soreness.
Gayle - Hope you enjoyed your quiet weekend.
Shelly - I can't believe you blew off a workout either. You must have been tired. As I read further, I see that you were revived and got in a good workout.
Carole - Went to Target yesterday and picked up another shirt on clearance for $3. Couldn't pass it up. The massage therapist said the next time I come, he could work more on my lower body and add some more stretches. I will definitely be requesting him. Glad your trail run was good.
Laurie - Glad you finally got a good night's sleep. They seem to be such a precious commodity these days. Sorry to hear about the crappy massage. If I'm paying my hard earned $$$, I want to leave there feeling like it was money well spent. If I could haven't gotten the guy yesterday to come home with me, I would have been really happy. But, he wouldn't go for it. Said something like his wife wouldn't be happy. Oh, well!
Amy - Hope you enjoyed your rest day!
Elaine - Glad you enjoyed your vacation.
I am tired. We went to a blues concert last night and I didn't get to bed until almost midnight. I'm ready to crash now. Will try to get the pics posted.

Grrrr! No work out today. x(
The upper body weight work got blown off in favor of shopping.
The run got rained out. ;(
An alternate form of indoor cardio got blown off due to a nap that left me groggy coupled w/ continued EXTREME DOMS in the quads and no work out partner to make me do it! :-(
I have HSTA sitting out waiting to be popped in the DVD player tomorrow after work. This one KILLS me but it's notably more difficult on the U/B then the L/B so my legs should be spared this time.
Oh, and btw, for those who asked...my SUPER DUPER INTENSE DOMS was brought on by none other then....*drum roll please*....B&G's Leg Blast Premix!!!!!}(
Until morning ladies!
