Morning ladies! Race details? It went by so fast I feel like I didn't even really take it all in... (I can't believe I just said that, my 2.5 hours of running went by "so fast").
The course was beautiful, totally beautiful, and running with that many other people - young, old, fat, thin, in-between, slow, fast, etc. - was just amazing. And the spectators all throughout the course who were cheering you on was AWESOME! Random people were saying "C'mon Katie, you got this!" (my name was on my bib number) and I high-fived so many cute kids too!
At the very end of the race, I tried my damndest to speed up my last mile or two but I just couldn't. When I rounded the last corner and saw the finish I started sprinting and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Chris and Collin on the sidelines and I high-fived them as I whized by (it was pure luck that I came out to the right side where they were).
My official chip time was 2:22:32 which was exactly what I knew I was capable of, but I had really hoped for under 2:20. I have to keep reminding myself that I have been running for less than a year and have only ever run one other race - a 5k. So I am very proud of myself overall. This was my first half-marathon, but definitely not my last I am already online looking up dates for next year

Go, Katie, Go!
That is so awesome. I'm over the moon that you had a great time. I love running races, I need to do more of it next year.
Kate, why is your baby crying? I assume she's fine, just needs something, right?
Nurse Robin, sorry about the sick son. Has he had that high fever long?
Nina, I'm glad you had a nice weekend and your DH is home. Trail mix is good for you, remember?
Klaudia, thanks for the pic of those shoes! You rocked that dress, girl.
Colleen, are you feeling better today? I hope your allergies are getting under control.
Becky, your weekend sounds blissful. I would love to read in the sun, I guess I should have gone outside more yesterday. I did some stuff outside, but not much.
Hi Wendy and Lisa! I missed someone else, who is it? Angie! Are you babies better now? You're heading back to France today, right? I hope you have a good trip.
Well, my weekend was not so great. Remember my friend I visited in Portland last month? His dad passed away. Which we all knew as coming, he had cancer. But, still. Anyway, his Celebration of Life (they're Unitarian Universalist, so they don't call it a funeral) was yesterday. The service was lovely, but tough (his parents live where I live). And on Saturday I went to visit my parents and my dad was having an off day, so now I'm worried about him. He's probably fine, I just hope he didn't try to do too much yesterday since the weather was so nice. I talked to him last night and he sounded pretty good, so maybe he was just extra tired or something.
I have to go to the dentist this morning, oh joy. But I have tap tonight, so that will be fun.
I'll close this novel now...

Good Morning Everyone!
Today is day 1 of the November rotation. Power Hour was on the schedule but since I didn't have it, I subbed Jari Love's Slim & Lean. I was really proud of myself because I went heavier and I was able to keep up with all of those reps. It has probably been about a year since I did that workout. Quiet day at work today so I will enjoy it since the end of the week will be busy.
Anne, sorry about your friend's dad. Do you hate going to the dentist?
Kate, sorry about the knee. I use puzzle mats and that seems to help.
Becky, I am jealous of your weekend outside.
Katie, isn't it amazing how quickly the time goes. ^5 for completing it and let us know when you are going to do your next half marathon.
Robin, sorry about your son. I looked at bodyrock.tv and it looks great. Not sure when I will have a chance to try it.
Nina, sorry about the trail mix incident. I have never been a fan of trail mix. I usually pick out the pieces I like.
Angie, have a safe trip.
Hi Wendy & Lisa!
b: oatmeal w/ almonds
s: banana
l: turkey chili

d: salmon, asparagus, rice

Anne, Sorry abt the death. Never easy even when you're expecting it.
Baby crying because she slipped in her footie jammies on the hardwood floor!
Hope your dad is ok! My mom is having a hard time w/ her MS this past week. I should make her some food!
Hope the dentist goes good & have fun @ tap tonight!
Colleen, NO POWER HOUR?!?!?! I LOVE that wo! Glad you had a good WO!
Hope the work day is productive!
Good eats plan! I need to figure mineout!
UGH!!!! mY dog has some WICKED GAS!!!!!
oh, and the kittens are staying! Theyve made themselves right at home in the garage w/ Suzy. Guess I need to call around about getting them fixed. Cha-ching! But I do NOT want kittens having kittens having kittens. I'm slightly ornery about this!

Happy Monday!
So I really need to get myself on track-only 3 workouts last week and too many bad food choices. Not sure what my fitness goals are so I can't decide on a rotation. Ugh. Anyway, at least my house is clean and laundry is almost done-did it all yesterday Not sure what workout I'm going to do yet. All 3 girls have dance this afternoon so I have to figure out a portable dinner too-probably have to hit the grocery store.
Katie, you did awesome! Great job Your description makes me want to try and do another 5k-we have a Jingle Bell Run here next month
Kate, wasn't it awesome here this weekend?! The girls were outside ALL day yesterday! Sorry about your knee. Take it easy, ok? I hope Isabel feels better.
Becky, yard work is a great workout! What are you reading? That website has some cool workouts-may have to try one myself.
Robin, hope Cameron feels better soon. Thanks for the review!
Nina, did you make the beans? Can you send me some of your energy?
Anne, sorry your weekend didn't go well. A Celebration of Life sounds so much more uplifting than a funeral. I think it's only natural to worry about your parents, especially after going to that. Tap will definitely lift your spirits.
Colleen, I haven't done PH in a while-maybe I'll do that today Enjoy your quiet Monday!

i have had such anxiety all day i feel like i cannot calm down. life is such a whilrwind right now. i know if i sit back and just let it happen, moment by moment, it willl be fine. part of it is having dh home. i feel like it is someone else to run everything by, and that can be stressful. for example, there is an opening in swim class, another 2 week session, starting today. well, this is the last session until feb, so i want to jump on it, but it will disrupt evenings for 2 weeks (class is 6-6:45). it is fine when it is just me and the kids, but i do not know how dh will handle it. sigh. i make mountains out of molehills, no?
kate, how was the chiro? how is isabelle?
klaud, enjoy your wo. i did make the beans, with turkey sausage. everyone LOVED them. and the leftovers rock!
colleen, glad if today is a quiet day for you. i used to strip trail mix of what i liked, but now i like it all
anne, i am sorry for your weekend. i also find it hard to switch gears back into regular life after all that. enjoy tap, okay? and give yourself time to worry, and worry free time too.
robin, i am totally intrigued by your website. what is it? no time to look right now, but i will have to for sure. hope cameron feels better,
hi lisa, hi angie, hi wendy.
okay, must regroup, tidy up, and try to do some abs and legs. did swim for 35min this am before dr visit. he made some comment about having a very low bf %. how does he know if he did not check??? i dee the lbs i need to lose,not the muscle.

Hi ladies! Quick post. I have my hands full with an active baby! I just realized my 10% off coupon ends today for preordering STS Cardio, but I don't think I'm going to use it. I kept meaning to see what equipment I need for the workouts, but never got around to it. Insanity wo done. Need to shower. I will be back for personals. Working from home.
