Good Morning!
I'm sitting here debating on what cardio to do today. Definitely have some good DOMS in the chest and back already starting.
So, what should I do... Maybe one of Cathe's step workouts, or a run?! I'll only be able to run on the sidewalks and roads at the park if I do. The weather is cloudy, but warm (40's) with melting snow everywhere.
I need to finish up shopping for my family, and then start on greg this week. Cards and wrapping.
OMG, last night I got a phone call saying Alex's fundraiser stuff had come in and it was pick up night at the school's auditorium. could I be there in less than 20 minutes? I was soooo lame, I already had on my pajama's (black fleeece bottoms and a long sleeve tshirt). My hair was flat and I had no make up on. I threw on my winter coat, with sneakers, no socks, and flew out the door! At the time, i was like "whatever" , now I'm thinking I must have been pretty scary!
Kathy: RS, another goodie! Have fun!
Beth: That's crazy on getting duplicates from mary! Is it STS day for you today?...
STILL debating on my workout... thinking thinking thinking what I feel like doing...

Hey everyone! Chris, maybe you should hop in with Kathy and do RS! Although, I know I'm supposed to like that one, I don't think I do very much..... Well, if you run, be careful not to slip in that melting snow!!
I wouldn't worry about the run to the school last night -- I'll bet nobody noticed! Sounds like even though they are pj's to you, they wouldn't necessarily look like it to anyone else, and I'll bet you had a coat on over it the whole time, right?
Yes, STS for me again today -- chest, shoulders, bi -- the pushups --- oh, man, the pushups! Wow, there were a lot of them today. I think I could have gone heavier on the biceps, but on the other hand, my biceps always look a little strange anyway -- not sure i need them bigger.
Good work on xmas, Chris. I'm starting to feel a little panicked with not many days left of no boys with me. I don't think Larry and I are exchanging, though he sort of keeps asking, so he feels like he should do something. I don't know!
Travis has first day of basketball practice today, but get this -- I only found out about it yesterday. Isn't that kind of crazy? You'd think they'd give us more than one day notice.
Waves to Hottie and Joanne -- Joanne, I'm sure thinking about you. Hottie, did you make your hotel reservation for SD yet? I tried the other night -- not all that late even, and they said the desk was closed and they'd put me through to the 800 number. Well, I got put on hold there and was impatient, and also worried they wouldn't know about the special rate for Cathe, so I hung up. I've got to remember to do that one of these days. I noticed that registration is still open, so they haven't filled the 200 yet. Interesting.
Have a great day!

Kathy, nice picture! You guys all look terrific! We must have posted at the same time, because I did not see it earlier.
If you guys pm me your US mail address (Chris and Hottie, I'm pretty sure I have both of yours -- actually, Hottie, I may need it come to think of it), I'll send you our holiday card which I did in a big hurry over the weekend....

Good Afternoon!
So I did it, went for a run, and I didn't regret it! Knew I wouldnt'! I just sooo appreciate the outdoors when I run, it feels amazing, cloudy, sometimes drizzly, wet sidewalks and all! I ran 47 minutes. When I got home I did 10 Minute Pilates Solution: Abs and Flexibility (20 minutes). Not too shabby! I had taken off the shrink wrap, but don't remember doing this one before. It was pilates with a band. Pretty neat.
Kathy: That's an AWESOME picture of you and your family!!! Love it!! You all look great, perfect smiles! That's a professional picture? I almost thought it could be your house in front of the tree!?!?
Beth: Yes, those push ups. For some reason the second time around I tolerated them better. Not sure why. Maybe because I knew they were coming? Still was happy to see them go in Meso 2!!! ... Oh I hate last minute things like that! I feel like I missed something!... Oh, another girl on the Crazy Strong & Loving it check in is going to SD too! Her name is Wendy. That was the old Fitness Freak's rotation check in, remember? I told her about you and Hottie! She had said that the trip was only 20-30% full. Weird, huh? .. I wish I could go!
I do have your address, Beth (sent out something today), are you sure you have mine? Definitely if you guys want, send me your addresses! I'd love to send you a card too!!!
I need to go do stuff. I drive myself crazy with my planning and procrastinating!!!

I'll try to check in later but I ended up going into work super late so I could do the last week of Meso 3. Slanted risers were awesome and really just made the workout a ton better. I did IM2. But i've been gorging. Ugh, i know most of it was emotional stuff but I'm up 10lbs from the summer. 10lbs! Will be back to bitch later...erm, chat later. Oh and Beth -- I haven't decided what i'm doing for hotel stuff. My friend in La Jolla was over my house last night and some stuff came up so I may or may not have housing...I still have to think about Evee. And honest to god, if shit really hit the fan, we could drive down every morning. but I am so behind on Xmas piresents that I don't have time to think about it other than YAY! I'm going.
Ok, I'm going to alternate between microscope experiment that will aggravate my neck more and reviewing for a tutoring session later tonight.

Thanks ladies...
Chris: Yes, we had that photo done at Target studios. The photographer was great. We were in and out in about 15 minutes. Gotta love that!
Beth: I will pm my address to you. Oh do I remember all those pushups.
Hi Hottie...
Ok, I got my grocery shopping done and mailed some Christmas presents to my family. Now, I gotta get RS done..
Talk to you later..

Kathy, I got your pm, thanks! Chris, I do think I have your address in email somewhere, but if I don't, I'll let you know. Nice work on the run! It is so nice to be outdoors.... I'm not sure how the treadmill people do it -- even with cardio coach I think I'd get bored....
I don't think I dare look at the cookie thread....
Is it Wendy from Oregon or Washington? If so, she may have been on that 2008 RT with me.... I think there was a Wendy from the west coast. It is really strange that it's not very full! I wonder if they're going to keep doing them with such poor turnout. Sad! Wish you could come, too, Chris!!
Hottie, I forgot that you might have been staying with a friend. Hope you figure it out! Driving down each day would be a bummer......

Ugh, I lied. My stuff got contaminated. Ugh. Ugh. It's going to take a couple days to ramp this up again too but I don't want to do too much because Joe has time off next week. I guess I have time to prepare for my session later though. going to do some online shopping...assasin's creed II is on sale at amazon and I'm grabbing that for Joe. I got him Arkham Asylum as well so he should be set on ignoring me for a couple months.
Kathy -- you guys look great! i thought about getting one of those photos now that we have evee but we feel too silly.
Chris -- uhh, is that inappropriate attire for going out? I stopped putting on make up regularly when I was at Caltech...I hate to say that the culture there made you really feel bad if you put up an effort to look good. So, I often look like a bum. When I do look like the professional I used to be, I get weird looks in the lab and usually taunts. But its much better now than it was when I was an undergrad. Now I wish I had that body when I started freshman year. (or the waist at least.)
Beth -- pushups! I want to incorporate some kind of pushup challenge once i'm done STS. so my friend came over yesterday and told me she's considering leaving grad school. We talked a while about the decision and the main thing I really pushed was not to officially leave the program until she had a job lined up. She's 85% going to be there. I have another friend who used to be in the area as well. I also have to see what happens with Evee...if our friends are just going to come over and take care of her. Like, I'm sure they say they will but i'm afraid they actually won't walk her and just let her outside. Our yard is really small and she's really used to getting runs/walks on a daily basis. so, if I have to put her up into boarding maybe its cheaper to find a hotel that allows pets. Ah, too much to do. i've managed to buy someone's present in the meantime though....just a couple more people left to go....
