Cathlete
Good mornin', cheetahs...

Back to wakin' up at the butt-crack o' dawn. I did Jari Love's Slim & Lean last night. Jury is still out on that one. First, I felt like I was "cheating" on Cathe. lol. Second, I was wiped in certain sections and completely unchallenged in others. I'm going to have to adjust & experiment w/ the weights. Lastly, is it me, or does she slightly remind anyone of a mellowed out Janice from the Muppets? I did like how they showed the moves being done at different angles w/ lots of different modifications and how the weights used were displayed at the beginning of each set. It made me think that it'd be cool if, in future workouts, Cathe would show (through computer technology) the muscle(s) being worked at the beginning of each exercise. I know she mentions what's being targeted, but I'd like to SEE it also.

If it's dry this afternoon, I definitely plan to get in a run after school and maybe try out one of the other new DVDs, Yoga Shakti. If it's raining again, I think I'm going with KPC.

Hi to all the cheetahs who follow...Hope you all have a great hump day! Off to get ready for another day of meetings and prep. Will stop in again later in the day.

Cathy :)
 
Hi Cathy,
I thought I heard someone else up at this butt-crack hour of dawn.

Hope your day goes well. Your workout yesterday sounded fun. Hope you get to run this afternoon. I love KPC, especially the drills & abs.

I'm planning to run 5 miles today and do abs from BC.


Hi to all Cheetahs checking in later,
Will write personals later in the day (...I hope!!)

Barb
:) :) :)
 
Cathy, better you than I being up at the butt crack o' dawn! Actually, it was still pretty dark when I got up and that was after 6 already so it was probably BEFORE the crack when you got up! LOL I hope you find that you like Slim and Lean! I don't recall who Janice is. Did you get my pm w/the link for that race?

Barb, hey girl! Enjoy your run! I've been out of the loop...have you had all of your parties yet and how did they go?

Carole, how is your nephew doing in rehab?

Christine, your trip to the east coast sounds fun. Enjoy it! Would love to see pics if possible!

Today will be f/b weights and my new running class. I decided to wait to begin my new rotation until monday. Nothing like procrastinating, huh? LOL :p

Have a great day ladies!
 
Good chilly morning, Cheetahs!! Wow, only 55 degrees when we headed out for our run, I was almost cold to start with!! It felt great though, did an 8 mile tempo run. I had a bit of DOMS in the glutes from KM y'day, I don't know what it is but that always gets me! Felt good to run though, it always seems to work out the sore muscles. I also did PUB y'day afternoon.

It was nice *only* doing 8 for my longer mid-week run this morning. Definitely loving the taper!!

Allison loved her first visit to preschool, she got to pick out her crayons, play w/ some of the toys, meet the kids, etc. She's ready to go back on Friday!

Not too much going on today. I'm sure Allison will think of something fun to do! We might be wearing jackets outside this morning, it still feels chilly! Gotta go get the girls up & ready for school! Have a great day!

Hugs,
 
Jess: Hey, I'm sure that cool/short run felt WONDERFUL! Glad u enjoyed it!:) So you are sending your youngest off to school soon? Are you going to get weepy? ;)
 
Good morning cheetahs

Cathy...yep..got my Garmin all charged up, just need to enter some info and then I will try it out this morning. I don't have any of the Jari workouts. I am looking forward to Cathes new ones though!

Wendy...what happened at your job?? Sorry you were so bummed out yesterday. I have not heard anything about John lately, I need to call me sister and see how things are going. Hope the new running class is fun...:)

Adri...I hope you get to run today!!

Katie...hope your DD has fun at preschool...and that your back continues to get better.

Jess..sorry about the bad weather yesterday. But you were busy with the kids!! Good 8 mile run today...yes, definitely enjoy your taper!!

Judy...so far the Garmin looks really cool! I'll use it today for my run. Good workout yesterday.

Elaine..it seems like everyrone loves their Garmins. Can't wait to try mine out. It'll be fun downloading all the info and looking at it...a GTG for us West Coasters is sounding more and more fun!

Susan...good workout yesterday. I really like L&G and doing the different premixes.

Barb...I used to always have good runs after legwork. I do most of the time now and did yesterday. I had backed off heavy legwork and now I feel I lost a bit of strength so I am building back up...

Christine...yes we missed you!! I haven't watched tennis...but Ilaris voice does remind me of Guillermo's from Janis's workouts. They say "scissors" exactly the same...:)..Like Elaine said, I thought you were at your Dad's...that is awful they had your DSL line down for so long...Looks like you got in some good workouts. I hope things go well at your Dads...and have fun running on the beach!!

Laura...I think you could do the half in 6 weeks, but beating your last time could be tough after being sick...

I'll be doing P90X Back & Biceps, abs and a 6 mile run with my Garmin!

Have a great day...:)
 
G'Morning Sekcy Cheetahs!!!
Today is shoulers, calves, abs and cardio. YES I'm jogging today!! But...Its shitty weather here again. Its cloudy and the weather dude said its ganna rain by like 5. So I may just go on the treadx( Hate weather. Whenever I don't jog (cuz its not a cardio day) its beautiful, and when I want to its sucky. My luck:+

Carol- I am also curious, how is everythign going in your nephews rehab? Your still in my prayers;-)

Ganna go get some b fast, but will be back in a few for more peronals and stuff. take care!

Sorry about the nasty weather Adri...I have run in the rain lots and sometimes it really is just no fun...

Thanks for asking about my nephew. I was going to call my sister last night for an update, but I fell asleep! I will try and get some info today. I am hoping no news is good news...:)
 
Hey Wendy! Yes, I did enjoy the run this morning! I pushed Melissa a bit, she tends to not like to go under 9 min miles. She told me I was killin' her at one point! }(

Yes, Allison's first full morning of preschool is Friday from 9 - 11:15. She's soooo ready for it, she was so cute y'day. There's just 10 in her class & only 3 girls! I know the teachers well because my older dd's went there also, it's a great preschool. I probably will get a little weepy & she'll probably just run off w/ a Bye, Mom!! ;( Oh well, I have to admit that I'm looking forward to a couple hrs of alone time during the week!!! :)

Hugs,
 
Oh, bummer on the nasty weather, Adri! That's how it was here y'day. I'm glad for the nice weather today though, but it's still a bit chilly! I actually had to pull out light jackets for my dd's to wait for the bus this morning, it's still not even 60* yet!! I love it though, LOOOOVE fall weather!

So is tomorrow your first day of school?? How exciting! Do you have your first day of school outfit picked out?? ;-) I remember how important that was, lookin' good on the first day of school!!

Hugs,
 
Carole ~ You're gonna love your Garmin!! Did you get the 305?? I have the 201, but I love it. I've never used the HRM so I didn't really want that option. My friend Lea just ordered the 201 & she's excited to get it!

I'm gonna go nuts I think w/ the taper the next couple weeks. I know that I need to start taking it easier. That's very hard for me though!! ;-) So if you think I'm over-doing it just let me know!

I love legwork too, I think I'll do PLB today or tomorrow. I actually like running w/ a little bit of DOMS in the legs, I feel like it pushes me a bit to *feel* it more. Strange? Probably!! :p Let us know how the run went w/ the Garmin!

Hugs,
 
Hey- I was up at 4:30, does that count as the butt-crack?? :p Funny that you thought you were cheating on Cathe!! ;-) Have a good run or workout w/ KPC, that's on my wishlist still!!

Hugs,
 
Hiya Barb!! What's the countdown to the parties?? You're one busy Cheetah!! Enjoy your 5 mile & abs!!

Hugs,
 
I forgot to mention that w/ all of the busy traveling this weekend we went to see my Grandma (who has cancer) & Aunt Meg (who has a broken pelvis). Well, my Grandma got moved back to the nursing home (she was in the hospital for blood clots) & now she is right across the hall from Aunt Meg!! (they are SIL's, my Grandpa was Meg's brother..) Anyway... so they can eat together & be together for now. It's great for my Mom too, so that she can go visit them both at the same time. I'm thinking one of these days when I don't have anything else going on I'll take Allison there to visit during the day while the girls are at school. They just love it when we come to visit & I wish I were closer to help out more. If I leave when the bus does, we can make the hour & a half drive, visit for a while & stay for lunch & still make it back for when the girls get home from school. And with the new van, the trip will be a breeze since Allison can watch a DVD for the trip! BTW, did I mention how much I LOOOOVE my new van??? Anyway.... just a little update on that!! (feelin' a bit chatty this morning, can ya tell??)

Hugs,
 
Hey Cheetahs!
I'm back. Hada grab some b fast, so now I'll get in to personals.

Jess- Yea, I have my outfit out. Its these new jeans from Aeropostale that are ripped alittle at the knee and pockets and brown on the back. I'm wearing it w/ my Baby Phat top that has a cute hole at the top so you can see the cami under it. I'm also ganna wear a kaki belt and new white Baby Phat shoes. Your right. at mid school, the first day of schools outfit either makes or brakes the person. Its gotton worse at middle school:+

Carol- Hope everything is good. Still prayin;-) I still will run today, I don't care no more. Weather can't stop me}(

Katie-Did you DD start preschool today?!? Wow that must be exciting!!! I wish her luck!! O those were the day...NAPTIME;-)

Barb- Enjoy KPC today. Thats one of my favs too! I love kickboxing and would accually love to knock someone out:+ :7

Cathy- what workout is the Jari Love slim and lean? Is it a video or DVD and is it from Beachbody.com? I haven't heard of it but it sounds good! Hope you have a good time w/ KPC too!!!

Wendy- Hope you have a good time at your class! What is your new rotation for monday?

Thanks, Adri. Yes, she had breast cancer a few yrs ago but fought that off. Now she has advanced ovarian cancer that has spread to her bladder/ colon. They won't give her a date, but I don't think she'll be here to see Thanksgiving. She's still in good spirits though & I treasure the time spent w/ her.

Hugs,
 
I'll bet you'll look great on your first day! (said cute first, but didn't think you just wanted to look *cute*. :p ) I must be out of the loop now, I've never heard of Baby Phat! ;-) I'm sure that we'll be there w/ my dd's soon, my oldest is 7 but she's a tomboy & could care less what she wears! My 5yo is gonna be the fashion girl, she's always matching everything & loves to wear skirts/ skorts/ dresses!

Did you ever get your camera fixed? (I had read your post about it in the open discussion!) You need some first day of school pics!! I'm such a camera nut!!

Hugs,
 
OMG so she can't fight this one off??? Thats terrible Jess;( ;( I don't even know what to say that is just so sad. I bet she was a great person and loved you very much:)

(((((((HUGS))))))) to Jess!

I got an update on John:

John seems to be adjusting to rehab. The first few days, he wouldn't do anything. He was having stomach problems. Yesterday he worked out in rehab for 1 1/2 hours. The psychologist stayed with him the whole time and helped him work through issues. He is getting off a lot of the meds he was on, and we are seeing "the real John" emerge. It is hopeful!

Not John's Mom but my other sister that I run with has a daughter Amy that is a Physical Therapist and has been working with spinal patients in Colorado. She has taken a job here and moved back to Cal. She has been talking to John everyday and her and my sister will go down to see him next week.

Thank you all so much for your prayers...they are working...:)
