Good Morning Gals!

Not sure if anyone expected to see me here bright and early....but here I am!:) I'm enjoying my coffee right now, with ice on my eyes~ LOL I didn't sleep well and you can see it on my face so I have ice wrapped in a face cloth and I am switching it from eye to eye:eek: As much as I don't want to, I may have to put a little mascara on. I woke at 12:30, 2:30 and ever hour after until I called it quits at 5. DH is snoring away, I guess the hotel room light doesn't bother him.

We did a little bit of shopping yesterday but have to do more today (if I can walk) DD wanted some new bras...push up ones to be exact. I'm not exactly sure what she is suppose to be pushing up...but oh well. Anyway, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a bra for her and most of their bras were 2/39 or buy one get the 2nd half off. So I'm looking and looking and finally (cause I'm kinda in a hurry cause DH is waiting for me) I found some really nice bras. I didn't even look at the price:confused: I also had some lip glosses and makeup as well (5/$10) When she checks me in it comes to over $80! It didn't really take the wind out of my sails but when I got out in the truck I looked at the bras were $42.50 each! I don't think I have ever paid that much for one for me! But isn't that the normal parent thing to do? I just hope they fit cause I'm pretty sure I can't return them.

Last night we went out for dinner with all the couples that are here, there were 8 of us. All of the women are running today. We had a blast at dinner, laughed and laughed, it was a great time. Around 10'ish the girls came home and the guys stayed out. I think they managed to find themselves in a "ladies" bar.....dirt bags:rolleyes: I dont think they were there very long though! LOL I don't know what was wrong with my running partner last night but she wasn't in a very good mood. She doesn't sleep well, so I don't know if she was tired OR if her and her DH were in bit of a tiff OR they went to see her daughter , who has caused them a little grief over the years so I don't know if something happened there or not. But she was not herself at all. She was quiet and didn't laugh much and even on the way home she was always 5 steps ahead of us. I went to visit my BF in her hotel room and she is the one that brought up how quiet she was. She figures that she doesn't want to do the race today...I dunno! We will see what kind of mood she is in when we meet down in the lobby. If she is still quiet, then something definitly happened in her personal life.I have knowen her long enough to tell.

O.k..........

Jacque** Thanks for the good luck vibes! Now I will be thinking about you at the bottom of each hill and again at the top:) I can see the start and the finish of the race from my hotel room window! Its starts at a lighthouse and ends at an historic sight. From the light house, across the water, you can see the finish line, so the race is kind of a circle...minus the Atlantic ocean:) I think I would rather run it, then swim it~
Hope your life resumes to normal soon! I hate it when my day to day life is all over the place. I like having a schedule.

Diana** Thanks to you to! I have had lots of people tell me good luck so hopefully it will work. Im wondering if the girls legs will be as sore as mine were last year! So your gonna splurge on yourself? Good for you! I have a dental apt next Fri, I should probably remember that when I am shopping today:confused: Woo hoo...for Jerods team! DD had a v-ball tournament this weekend and they were doing really well with it. Yesterday morning it was cancelled b/c of the snow. She wasn't impressed!

Alright...I will shut up now. Expect me to be back in about 4.5 hours time. Im thinking about going to the awards ceremony cause I ditched it last year and I came 3rd in my age group! Didn't even know it! But it doesn't start until 12. I figured we would want to get a head start with shopping but come to think of it, the mall doesn't open until 12 anyway. I will see how well my time is and then go from there.

How'd you like my book!?

Morning Girls,

Today is spin class...which I'm really starting to like a lot. Most of the normal spin classes are in the morning at 5am and 6am or at lunch time. Once we start P90X I may sub in spinning for the cardio.

I need to go grocery shopping today and am not looking forward to it at all. All I need is some fruit but obviously need to take the rest of the family into consideration.

Lori-I'm guessing you've finished the race by now. Can't wait to hear how you did. I didn't know you came in third last year..that's great. I looked the race up on the internet last night and it's very small, 400 people.

I'm going to check FB to see if you posted anything there yet.

Good morning ladies !

Did my MCC last night - it was fun . . . I have a hard time with the ones where you are planking and then get up and go back down. My bod just doesn't bend in half to get up quickly anymore. :confused: I enjoyed most of the drills though.

Don't remember what today is, recovery I think. Not sure if I'll do that or skip it this week since I need to catch up a bit. My rest days were earlier in the week. :(

Lori - I am guessing I was on the same vibes as you since I slept from about 10 to 1:30 and then woke. Went back to the bedroom and just as soon as I fell asleep I got a foot cramp at about 2:30 and that was then end of my sleep. TG I'm not running a race today since my sleep patterns have sucked lately. Can't wait to see how it went this year . . . with all your training I'm sure you'll get a better time. Hope your friend is OK today. WOWSERS girl, them are some expensive bras ! I'd probably do Target where they are $10 a piece and got some cute colors/patterns.

Diana - wish I had a place to spin that didn't cost a fortune around here. We have a local gym but the membership is quite high and I stopped going years ago. I have heard such great things about spinning classes. Good to hear you are enjoying it.

We are going to visit DS1 and family this afternoon for a BBQ. So happy the drive is short now ! :p

Enjoy the day !
 
Happy Sunday all!

I spent the entire day yesterday cleaning...I'm so happy it's done and feeling really good about the house right now. I also did my weekly shopping which is always a chore. And I got in MIP yesterday afternoon to finish out week one of month 2! It was a super productive day for me :D All because I didn't want to have to do a thing today ;)

Unfortunately, I'm in the midst of tackling another mountain of laundry. I colored my hair though, so that's good, and I've got a stew simmering which should be done just in time for the Pats game. I love Sundays.

Jacque: Enjoy your BBQ! I'm jealous...we have SNOW. This is the second one of the season already and it's still October. WTH??? This isn't a good sign of what's likely to come, is it.

Diana: I'm glad you're enjoying the spinning! I think it's a good idea to sub that in during P90X. I'm planning on subbing with Shaun because I can't stand Tony's cardio.

Lori: Been thinking of you today! Hope you enjoyed yourself, and I'm sure you did well. Can't wait to hear your report. Did you get DD's bras in Victoria's Secret? That's what theirs all go for :eek: I hate paying that much, and yet I haven't found any I like better. They do know how to get you.

Hi to Laura and hope Wendy recovered some of her losses today!

Will bbl~

Hi Girls!

Just a quick check in cause Im zonked! I have caught DH's cold! Atleast it waited until today!

My time was pretty much the same as last yr, the wind played a factor. I was 30 sec slower then last yr BUT my placings were better.
Last yr I was the 16th women, today I was the 6th. I was 3rd in my age group (same as last yr) and I was the 103rd person to cross, today I was the 71st.

Im on the phone now...bb in a bit!

Lori
 
Congratulations Lori. I've been popping back in here throughout the day to see your report. You did great. Make sure to take some ibuprofen for your sore and tired legs, get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids. I'm so happy for you, all that training did pay off!! Now, are your friends hating you for getting them into this race?:eek:

I'm heading to spin class in about 20 minutes and will be thinking of those hills you ran during my hills today.
 
Hi Girls!

Just popping in super quick to say hello. Had a fun weekend despite losing my $$. Ended up taking THREE rest days in a row from thurs thru sat. :eek: That being said, today was not escaping w/o a work out. I slept like crap last night, had a hang over this morning and was exhausted but I still made myself do something. Shaun was not happening (I'm crazy but I'm not stupid!LOL) so I chose to do the 51 minute timesaver premix of High Step Challenge. It fit the bill pretty nicely.

Tmrw I will be back to Insanity but not sure what to do. I only did the first 3 work outs of week 1. Should I repeat week 1, pick up with week 1 where I left off or just move on to week 2???

I also start my new job tmrw. EEK! Very nervous. Not sure when my work out will happen either cause I have a lot to do tmrw before work. Dare I try to do a Shaun work out BEFORE taking Joey to school!?!?!?!? :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Ah well, I'm babbling now...gotta shower up and get movin'. Lots left to do tonight!

Be back in the AM!
