ood Morning Girls....even though it's Monday morning!!:confused: Actually, I'm not really bothered by going to work today. Maybe I am getting over the hump! LOL

A couple of funny things happened yesterday that I just HAVE to share....b/c I can't really tell anyone else.

I FINALLY convinced DH to do a Cathe workout with me. Actually, I didn't really leave him much of a choice. I was getting ready to go for a run and just before I left I said " when I get back we are going to do the Cathe workout I just downloaded" (It worked after) He wasn't to impressed but then I reminded him that I slept in a tent last year, and scooped up a salmon and he expects me to do the same this year....so he best put his sneaks on. I thought I was gonna die when we were working out. I try not to laugh but I can't help it. I thought we were going to be fine with the weight selection b/c you know...a man and a women would never use to same weight.....not in my house! We did CTX ( i did anyway) and he called it quits at the beginning of the shoulder workout. He said "don't you think this is a bit much" LOL He was dying! We ended up switching weights at the end b/c the 20's he was using was to heavy, so I gave him my 15's and used his 20's. When he got out of the shower yesterday evening he had trouble washing his hair then. Anyway, I think we both realized yesterday that he isn't in the best of shape anymore. He was ruining my workout b/c when I would be lifting or doing pushups, I would see him working like a dog from the corner of my eye and then I would bust a gut and have to stop what I was doing!!! Let's see how he feels when he wakes up.

Also...I took the dog with my on my run yesterday. Another one in the house not in the best of shape. They say Lab's are known for bouts of energy...not continous running. He did 10km though and he was actually a pleasure to run with. I never use to take him with me b/c when there were two dogs I couldn't leave one home or the other would have a fit.

One more thing...I think my running partner is going to drive me loonie. Ever since our marathon, that is all she wants to talk about...running and marathons. DH said she called yesterday while I was out for a run (she was at work and I don't know why he didn't answer the phone) and he said she let about 10,000 rings go in. Last week she called and was reading marathon stuff to me on the phone...seriously...do I look like I have the time to be read to? I don't have the time for that crap. She blows in here in the evenings or calls to see if I want to go for a run and i always tell her that when I am on call I don't go for a run in the evenings...she is just not getting it! I thought she called yesterday to see if I wanted to go for a run but she called again last night while we were at my inlaws for dinner so I have a feeling she is calling to tell me she signed up for the marathon I am doing in Oct month. Its like this marathon running monster as been created!

Ok...enough about me!

Wendy** I never did do the 1RM, probably why I didn't see any crazy results from the workouts. I just didn't have the time. And I still don't have the time. I kind of need help when it comes to that, cause I can lift heavy....just need to get it up to my shoulders. But then again, do I really want to lift heavy with legs? Cause you know whats gonna happen there! They will bulk up. Im not worried about being in the unemployment line...it will never come to that. They won't find anyone to do what I am doing now. Not everyone will cover 24 hours and only get paid for 12.

Diana** I think when the computer would go into hybernation mode, the download would stop. I managed to get CTX UB downloaded yesterday. I also tried L&G's but I don't know what happened to it. Its a super cheap way to get the workouts we want. I hope my new ones arrive this week.

Jacque** 2 days of walking would be to much! LOL One night was bad enough. DH slept 3 hours longer then me yesterday morning!:confused: But I got laundry done and some studying. I did a fair bit of studying yesterday. Really need to get the boring stuff over with. The next section is Nutrition and I am looking forward to that.

O.k...sorry so long! I will bbl!

Good Morning.

Rest day for me today or DH will have my head. :p

I have a little DOMS in my hams and my back from 1RM's y'day. Had to do deadlifts and didn't go heavy enough the first time so I re-did them and STILL didn't go heavy enough! :eek: Needless to say I ended doing lots of deadlifts! I may have to do the 1RM for this with my bowflex DB's. May not have enough weight for my BB to get it right. :rolleyes: Is STS going to force me to buy more weights for my BB before it's over or do you think I could just sub in DB's when the BB isn't heavy enough??

Dinner last night was good. The 2 glasses of wine I drank with it were EXCELLENT!:D

Jacque:: So what time did you finally finish up in the yard? Yeah, I'd say you probably earned a rest day from a work out for that one! ;) Any work out to be done for today or are you sore and exhausted from y'day? Wouldn't blame if ya were!

Lori:: Well if your running partner is turning into a marathon monster then it's YOU who created her so I don't feel badly for you! :p:D Too funny about DH doing CTX with you. I never worked out WITH my DH except to race with him that one time but he has done PUB and P90X on his own. Funny to hear him "b*tch" about it afterwards and then the next day when he can hardly move! :D

Diana:: I wrote back to you yesterday so check it out if you haven't already. :)

Laura:: I forget when I wrote to you last...fri or sat I imagine...you'll just have to go look for yourself!:p LOL Hope you had a good weekend! How's that rib??

Alright...time to suck down the rest of my java and hit the showers! Eventhough I didn't WANT to rest today, it sure was nice to sleep in this morning! :)

Catch you girlies from work! BBL!
 
Good Morning Ladies,

Yesterday ended up being a rest day. No harm though, I worked out the past 7 days in a row! Not sure what I will be doing today...there's time for a run this morning or a longer cardio.

My day is packed, meetings from 9-10, 10-11, Jerod to Dentist, meetings 2-3, and 4-5. If I can swing it, I want to stop at the rec ctr and get my leg w/o in....not sure if that will happen. Depends on how long we take at the Dentist.

Bootcamp class starts tonight...love it. It's Monday and Thursday nights and I'm always sore after the first few sessions. A new pair of running shoes are in store and that should help.

We may break a heat temp today, it is supposed to be close to 100. Fortunately we don't see many of those temps, but there is heat front coming through and the temps will be higher than average this week.

Lori-Love that your DH tried to w/o with you. That's great!!! Hopefully he appreciates how strong and fit you are and realizes how hard you work.

Wendy-You can sub db's in place of the barbell in STS, Cathe mentions it a lot. To get the most out of STS you need to go as heavy as possible, especially with the 1RM's. When you print out the workout card it will have the weight you should be using. BTW, I pulled the trigger last night and Bob Harpers' DVD set should be shipping out today!:p

Jacque-were you able to finish the yard work? I would say that counts as an endurance workout, definitely.

Laura-How did you spend your weekend.....lazing by the pool I hope.

Time for me to get busy...Happy Monday Ladies!
 
Hey Girls!

Here alone!!! For the time being, but I will take what I can get!

My workout was shorter then I would have liked but it was to stuffy in my workout room, for some reason. I ended up doing BM2 abs, 4 miles on the TM and some leg work...not much though.

Wendy** Hey...hey! I didn't create the monster!!! She created herself! LOL She did a marathon in Jan that I didn't do....its all her doings! I think she as turned into a monster now b/c we both did it and now she as someone to listen to her!:eek: If I did it and hated it, she probably wouldn't be talking about it. I will give you an example. She quailified for the Boston this time...so she wants to do that one next year. I have another marathon in Oct, which is another Boston qualifier. If I quailify she thinks that we are both going together in April. I told her the other day that we were going to Fl next year for 2 weeks and I can't afford to go to TWO places in the same month! Geez! Anyway...when I told her that my sister had her tickets booked from april 10-26, I could tell it was cramping her style. She was like.."oh, so your not doing the Boston" I told her I wasn't b/c I was going on vaca! I might not even qualify who knows! She called the other day to tell me registration for Boston open on Oct 18th and our next marathon is Oct 17th. She really does not like this family trip! Its kind of a situation where I will have to do what she wants to do. She will scoop out the marathons and I will have to do them for all the reasons that she likes. Im not into travelling miles to run...I could do all the local ones first. She is likely to want to go to Europe next year...and Im not joking!

Diana** Glad to hear you enjoyed your rest day. Sounds like you have a day of meetings ahead of you! Hopefully your day will fly by...I am hoping for the same on my end! It is POURING here today so its just as well to work...I wouldn't be doing anything at home. DH told me I wasn't going to make a very good personal trainer b/c I was laughing at his limitations and trying to kill him!:eek:

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Diana:: Love it! You caved and ordered Bob's dvds! Awesome!!!! :D I wonder when we will get the dvds! I don't even know where they are being shipped out of?? Do you?? I worked out 7 days in a row too which is why DH would have had my head if I got up to work out this morning! :eek:
 
Hey Girls,

5 miles in the bag...woo hoo....getting back into the swing of this running bug. The sun was out but since I left the house at 6:30 it wasn't hot yet, perfect!

Wendy-Yep I caved...all your fault...well he is really cute! Not sure where they are coming from, but I don't expect mine until at least Saturday, or maybe even next week.

gotta run...don't want to be late for my first meeting!

bbl
 
Lori:: So I take it the marathon you just ran was not a boston qualifier cause I can't believe you would not have qualified with your time!

Hi Ladies,

The Dentist recommended Jerod have his wisdom teeth out, the oral surgeon wants to wait for 6mos to a year. I'm going to get a second opinion from the oral surgeon that took out DS2's wisdom teeth. I didn't care for this guy, he was older...the other guy is young and hip with the kids. He may be right that we need to wait, but I'm still getting a second opinion.

I'm heading to the gym for quads and abs....Bootcamp class tonight! Hope I can move tomorrow!

Laura-sorry to hear about your mom. Hope her sugery is successful. {{{HUGS}}}

Lori-funny about DH not thinking you will be good trainer....I'm sure he would never even ask your advice...nor take it from you.

Off to the gym...and back to work and more meetings!
