Hello all,
Checking in on my lunch break........
Belinda- LOL now that I know Lori has help in the form of a DH providing her with new running shoes, you chances of catching her have gotten a bit slimmer. wtg on the legs!
Deb- Welcome back. Sorry about your car. But maybe we can look at this from a positive angle (sorry, I haven't been around this thread long enough to know what your DS is like): he didn't call you during your vacation and ruin it (or maybe he did

) but most importantly, it sounds like he didn't get hurt. And, think of all the responsability lessons you are going to get out of this one! Besides, I think now he owes you big time! I hope that the wo got you going for the rest of the day.
Lori- Wow, your own private supply of snazy running shoes. That's awesome. I hope your work does slow down because it doesn't sound like you are not having much fun recently. At least for now the weather is nice enough you can keep running outside. wtg on disc 28 and the run.
Iris- I think vacas are the second best think to retirement (except that I'm too far from the later). I have a vacation to FL comming at the end of September during my break week between Meso 1 & 2. I can't wait. The light cardio rest week should be taken care of by walking all over Disney with DH, DS and DD. Enjoy the end of the season. And I still can't stop laughing about you describing living in the armpit! As for the "o" on my keyboard, I took the key out, blew on the stuff underneath really well (best would have been a can of compressed air), moved the parts I could to make sure everything was clean and even brushed it with a little brush I had. Popped the key back on and
voila! Actually, I was relieved that it seems it was just caught with dirt somehow. If it's the sensors underneath, you are stuck using a wireless/usb keyboard as you are or getting the whole keyboard replaced which is prohibitive on an old laptop unless it is still under waranty.
Amelia- Ooooh, 180 squats, now that is something to think about. I love leg days. I'm hoping for those shapely thighs by the end of STS. Nice job on shoulders and abb ripper.
Cookie- I wonder if the Troy person is my friend who clued me in to Cathe at work years ago. She's quite a fan as well and I think this was her third RT! But yeah, I think we got the area covered which is really funny considering that the thread covers the rest of the world a bit. I see one of your DS is moving to Asia. I have two brothers there. Where is he moving to?
Hi to Trish, Maudite and Gianna.
OK, I have to go back to work..... I didn't have time to do Disc 8 this morn, I am hoping to do it tonight or tomorrow morning. I got CTX yesterday though and previewed
Meaner legs (thanks Belinda) last night. I noticed it was short without the ab segment so I did that instead this morning without the calf wo part since mine is still a bit weird and I want to make sure I don't stress it out. And then, OMG I actually did an ab wo.

Everything is possible. I did the medicine ball STS segment which was only 10 mns. So that worked well.
Great rest of the day to everybody.
