Good Morning!

I can guarantee you I will not be shedding a tear over the last day of summer school today! :)

I have no idea what I will be doing for a workout. Better go check out the dvds. Hope everyone has a nice morning! BBL!
 
Good morning Gloria and all of Cheetahville!

Sorry I was MIA after my shower yesterday...just didn't have time to check-in before heading off to bowling. Had an okay night...was throwing the ball very, very well but had some weird/bad breaks, but then again so did a bunch of people. The team did well I just wish we could get out of mid-pack.

So, my revised plans for today are a nice long run, probably 8-10 miles...how's that for a big window lol. Then I'll head off to spend a little time with my mother and grandmother in MA, probably coming home sometime Saturday, maybe Sunday, we'll see.

Let me stop ramblin' and get to runnin' before it gets too hot and humid. I'll be back afterward, promise!
 
Good morning cheetahs:) :) :) :) Slept well last nite and ready to get the most out of my stretch of days off. I'll start it with my first run outside since relocating to this city of brotherly love. I'm simply stepping right outside my apartment building and running along the boulevard by the river---it's pretty popular with walkers and runners. Don't know how far I'll go... I'll just go for as long as I feel :)

I did AllBodyCardio yesterday rather then MM... just wasn't in the mood for that. I'll figure out something for a second workout.
DH should be coming later:7 :7 :7 He's working out details on what to do with our dogs. His family is not equipped or capable of helping out much so I'm afraid we'll have to kennel them. I could bring them here for a day or so (they do allow dogs) but there is a ban on pitbulls (typical I'm afraid) Spanky is just a lovable goofball of a dog but you just can't get past people's prejudices against the breed.

Cathy- How was that core workout in RW? I haven't read that issue yet so I may check it out. 2 whole weeks?? Gonna make any fun trips?

Wendy- I like your plan of alternating other things with the AB for now. If you're not motivated you're unlikely to get an effective workout anyway. Sounds like you're gonna have a great July 4th weekend in AC!! I'll be working.... that's okay with me (holiday pay)

Gloria- Nice long work break for you after today? Have a fun workout of your choice!

Wendi- Nice alternate plan for you! Hope you have a great run and a safe happy trip to MA.



Gotta get the tush movin here.

Good morning, Gloria, Wendi, and all who follow~ http://www.kidcorral.ca/forum/images/smilies/hello.gif

Happy Friday!

The forecaster described it as "steamy" http://www.kidcorral.ca/forum/images/smilies/heat.gif out there this morning, so I opted for my run first (3 miles). Now I will follow up with a back & bi mish-mosh.

Have a fab Friday morning! BBL...

ETA: Shelly...Sorry to hear about the ban on pit bulls. That is unfair that some irresponsible owners ruin it for all...The core workout was decent. It uses the stability ball for most exercises and involved 2 sets of 15 reps of wall squats, decline pushups, planks, triceps dips, one-legged lunges (using the ball, this was tough for me), back extensions, crunches and oblique twists...No big trips planned; I will relax & do a little work before our next committee session...stay cool out there today!...Oh, I forgot to mention: I finally found some Cytomax when I went to buy my Camelbak at REI. Looking forward to trying it!

good morning, ladies! i still have that stoopid cold, so i have promised myself i am going to take it easy. i have a hair appointment today, but that's it for any activities.

wt-i am glad you added those books to your amazon list. i think you will be happy. i know, i will chant my personal mantra, "aruba, aruba, aruba..." i have something for you:

wendi-glad the horse show went well. i can't imagine how much work must go into those! here's something you needed:
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_20.gif
i would feel that way too if i found out cathe wasn't teaching. i hope she teaches the friday of the sugust rt as i specifically flew in thursday so i could take her class on friday!!!

wendy-your dh/ds-less weekend sounds great! enjoy whatever you decided to do!!!

judy-how did those doms do with golfing yesterday?

carole-i am glad the smoky run did not bother you. i have trouble running when it's really humid, so i can't imagine running in your conditions! i hope it gets better soon!

christine-did you end up riding outside? like i said to carole, i have issues running in the hugh humidity here, i can't imagine what you guys have to go through. i am praying it all ends soon. i would be frustrataed about the picnic thing myself! especially when you made your numbers!!!

jackie-i used to use either the tennis ball or the foam roller, so i am sure the tennis ball did the same thing! hope you are feeling okay!

shelly-wtg on making a getting-to-work-PR! i know the feeling of oversleeping and then the adrenaline rush as you run to get ready!!! glad you made it on time!

gloria-so you are another eoin convert? i positively LOVE him!!! he doesn't take himself so seriously and i like that. i have all his dvds.

so, like i said, today will be another rest day in the hopes that i can really kick this cold! this is so frustrating!

Well we certainly have some nice visual aids today! :7

Does everyone have fun weekend plans?

Wendi- Have fun in MA with your family. How was the long run?

Shelly- sorry about having to kennel the pups. I hope they get some pampering or good play time while they are there.

Lori- Ugggh! It took me 9 holes to find my swing yesterday. I had a penalty stroke on EACH of the first 3 holes. Our course is quite difficult with numerous areas where the ball has to carry over water and swamps and avoid sand traps. I hope you cold goes away quickly.

Cathy- nice picture!

Today is NROL4W 4B plus HIIT. This evening, DH and I will do a 9 hole Friday night couples golf. It will be mainly social golf. Then DD arrives at midnight. It is likely the only weekend we will see her this summer.

Hiya ladies!

Quickie before I jump in the shower. I ended up right in the middle of my estimated mileage at 9 miles. I would have pushed for 10 but the phone rang and I was huffin and puffin too much at that time to hold the conversation and the run so I stopped short and took care of business. Oh well. Not screaming fast but I'm pretty happy with 1:23:10. My goal is to be able to finish my first HM somewhere right around 2 hrs so I'll keep at it }(.

Let me get cleaned up and then I'll try to get back for personals, honestly :p!
 
Good Morning Cheetah Babes.

I have alot on the agenda for today so I'm going to do personals now as I may not get back here for them later...

Judy: Yes, we will have to plan in advance for me to join DH in NY so that you and I can meet and hang out. I would like that!

Carole: I'm very glad you were a safe distance from the fire that started 3 miles away. I pray that you continue to be safe through this. Hope you enjoyed your DOMS y'day!

Christine: Still awaiting the final word on the 4th of July A/C trip. Have to see if we can get a room. So do you and DH have any fun plans for this weekend or for the upcoming holiday?

Jackie: Nice work out. Glad you enjoyed your new Kimberly vid. When will you be tackling the entire thing? I hear ya on the races. Sometimes ya just aren't feelin' it and that's perfectly fine. Go with what ya feel. If you force it, it won't be any fun.

Shelly: Sorry you overslept. Nice job still getting to work on time though! When I first started my silly job at the gym I was late cause I read the schedule wrong and didn't realize I was working that day until I got the "where are you?" phone call! Talk about embarrassing. I was already stressed out and actually started to cry when I hung up the phone that morning. :eek: It's nice to know that everyone is not staring at my DS thinking he's a horror show when he misbehaves. Sometimes he is so embarrassing that I just want to crawl in a hole and hide.x(

Gloria: So what you will do with your time now that summer school is ending? }(

Wendi: Don't you hate when you do everything right but the pins STILL won't go down!? DH and I pre-bowled the other night and I had a couple of shots like that. VERY frustrating. Over all I had a VERY good night though as did DH. We should take atleast a couple of games this week. YAY! Perhaps we will find our way out of the toilet yet!:p Nice long run this morning! A first HM at around 2 hours!? Great goal! My first was almost 2:30! Sorry you won't be able to work out with Cathe today.

Lorie: So whatcha' gettin' done to the do? Just a trim?

Cathy: Smart move getting the run in first since it's going to be a hot one. Enjoy workin' back and bi's today. I PM'd you the other day and haven't heard back...just wonderin' if ya got it. I know there was a snafu with one of them recently so ya might want to check it out!:)

Judy: Enjoy golf tonight. Have fun with DD here.

Okay, I'm all caught up...time for breakfast and then it's "off to the races"!:7
 
Thanks Lorie and Cathy....when I get up off the floor, I will get to personals...http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/f/spinface.gif[/img]
 
Did a mish-mosh of SS & PP for back & bi's. Did 3 exercises for each adn went heavy, taking no break between sets.

Carole ~ *lololol* :7 :7 :7 Yes, these boys give new meaning to the term "fantasy football."

Judy ~ the one I posted (Ronaldo) is Lorie's favorite. He looks good, but personally, he works my nerves. As Carole would say, he wins the whiny pee pants award. :) Have fun golfing.

Wendy ~ oh yeah, it's already quite brutal out there. Sunday I'll need to head out even earlier...I did get your PM this time--just forgot to write back. Will do...have fun at the track.

Cathy: You don't have to write back right away. I just wanted to make sure you got it. :) I let the dog out a couple of times this morning and already noticed it getting a bit on the steamy side. BLECH! LOL
 
Carole: No thanks needed. I'm always there to help!}( I almost fainted when I looked at the pics myself. OOH LA LA! :9
 
carole-yeah, i don't think dean REALLY knows why i enjoy watching football with him. i am absolutelly amazed at how good looking all the men are and i think they really have THE BEST bods of any athletes (i know cathy agrees). i think it also has something to do with a lot of them being europen. tall, dark, handsome, and hawt bods!!! maybe you can take up watching europen footie when the nfl isn't playing!

wendy-i am getting color and possibly a trim.

judy-glad you finally found your swing! i can not play golf to save my life! actually, i am much better with solitary sports like running. baseball, basketball, tennis, golf...anything that requires coordination and the ability to hit/catch is not my thing.

just to fan the fires even more:

Good morning cheetahs

Cathy...glad you got in a nice nap yesterday and still got to see the game. Very nice pics this morning...:D..."Steamy" today out there?? It feels a bit warm in here too...Good job with the 3 miles. Have fun with the back and bi mish mosh.

Gloria...we have had some fires over the years that have taken some bizarre turns in the wind, so you really are never sure about your safety. Glad the roller helped you. Good job with your run and yoga. Have a great last day of summer school!!

Wendi...enjoy that long run!

Shelly...wow! Way to go getting to work in record time!! How nice for the 5 days off. Good luck house hunting. So, you might go back to Cathe's gym as it is so close? I know you will try out those 100# dumbells!!! Yes, I think my lungs did fine wed during the run! Unfortunately to rain forecasted could be more thunderstorms. Enjoy your run outside today. Very sweet comment at the end of your post yesterday...:)

Lorie..I have been accused of being obsessed about exercise too...many times!! Sorry you were not feeling well. Thanks, I sure hope our conditions clear up soon too...

Wendy...thanks for your prayers...Enjoy your busy day!

Christine...I did actually see a chiro for about 5 years before my nephew became one...:)..but I do like my nephews way of adjusting the best. I think you know your own body well, and of you think you need to go to one, you will. Sounds like you got in a good 40 min ride in spite of the back. I think blood flow to the area as you work out is most likely good..:)

Jackie...I'd say to just experiment with P90X then next time you do it by adding a leg day, if it is too much you can just drop it out. The smoke was better yesterday as we saw some blue sky!! Sounds like a nice workout yesterday, glad you liked the new kickboxing one.

So it turns out the fire that started yesterday afternoon was caused by some wingnut who was out mowing his dry weeds!!!! OMG...were do these people come from..HELLO, there are fires out there!!!! Anyway, they arrested him and he will most likely get some kind of sentence.

I will be doing Upper Plus, Abs/core and a 3 mile run.

Have a great day...:)
 
OMG...you gals are crackin' me up!!! OOH LA LA is right :D.

I'm running late gettin to my mother's so I'll have to forego personals for now but should be able to catch up at her house.

Have a droolingly fabulous day ladies!
