Hey Kathy!
Enjoy RS today!! That one is one of my favorites too!!
I'm going for a run today. The weather is picture perfect, I'm psyched! I'm also going to do some abs before I head out. Not sure which one until I get down there and take a looky at what there is.
Beth: Did you do a shot of tequila before your belly dancing last night?? You go! I do NOT have the moves for that ... I actually have a belly dancing DVD (Kathy Smith) and I feel SO stiff and uncoordinated doing it. It just doesn't feel right to me. ....
Getting some new songs for my run! I'm excited!!!
BBL!

Good morning! Belly dancing sans tequila and..... it was a blast!!! I'm pretty sure I wasn't any good at it, but it was really fun! What I didn't think about was how much shoulders are involved! I thought I might doing myself some more damage at some points, but it feels fine this morning -- maybe I need more shoulder shimmying! 
It was a good crowd, too..... toward the beginning we were introducing ourselves and saying if we've ever belly danced before and why we're here. One woman said maybe she'll dance for her husband. Then the next woman, who was obviously her friend, said "maybe I'll dance for her husband too."
RS -- that was fun, Kathy! Hope you enjoyed..... when I was doing it I sure couldn't help but think of shock cardio and the "dancey" step that's going to be coming our way...... Enjoy your run, Chris -- I love it when the weather is that way for a run!!
Today was.... STS! Legs, that is...... I did disc 9 -- wow, the bonus work was different -- I think I couldn't find both of my gliding discs last time around so I gave up on it. I think I'm going to be feeling this -- my legs are already rubbery.
I will try to post a picture of my painting & the artist later today..... have a great day!!

Beth, that's awesome! Good for you on the belly dancing! LOL at the comments about that woman's husband! ... See, that's what I can't do, the shimmy with the shoulders. I feel so uncoordinated and stupid! Oh that'd be great to see your picture and the artist! So you did get it finally?
Great job on DISC 9!! I'm one STS leg workout behind you, I'm doing the 2nd one tomorrow.
I had a marvelous run! Felt great. I pushed it big time doing stair intervals, and then on the last 1/2 mi. or so, I ran FAST. Listening to Marilyn Manson singing:
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that were fed
So f*@# all your protests and
Put them to bed
Made me push it big time, Plus, and this may sound weird, but I was running along the sidewalk outside of the park, and there was a bunch of traffic coming out of the college. The thought of people seeing me made me want to run faster and harder. Is that not weird? I know, I'm a strange one!
Felt GREAT afterwards. Once again, I will say , there is no bigger "high" for me than running outside.
Oh yeah, for Abs I did LIC abs. Like the music with that one!
Going to go putter and call my mom..

Chris, I cannot shimmy fast -- I guess you probably have to work up to it! Did she start you out slowly -- just back and forth with each shoulder? That's how she had us do it.... even said "this is not a rib cage shimmy. You might have stuff on your chest that might move along with the shoulder shimmy, but it's the shoulders that are shimmying!" She was funny. Anyway, slowly, slowly, then double time, ok, I can handle that.... then double time again -- oh no! oh and now double again!
Not strange at all that having an audience makes you run faster -- I feel the same way! Glad you had a good one.
Don't have the painting yet! We'll get it eventually..... this is from the party:

Hi ladies. Crazy day at work...ugh!!
Chris, I love your run reports!! Very inspiring! I need to get out there and run. The weather is kind of getting icky here, though. Too funny about the Marilyn Manson song! I have some crazy music on my ipod. It's funny, Jameson and Ian seem to like all the stuff that was popular when I was a kid. We're sharing CD's. Kind of cool. Jameson laughed last night when I asked him if I could borrow his Bon Jovi CD to put on my ipod. DH just rolled his eyes. I definitely get the running faster when people are watching.
I did LIC today, but puttered out in the middle of the abs! The workout was great, though. I realized I haven't done a Cathe workout in probably months. Yikes! Not sure what I'll do tomorrow. I was actually able to do some of the staggered push ups on my toes.
Beth, wow, that painting is cool! Do you have a spot planned for it? Is that the artist? How fun!! That class sounds like a riot. Will you go back or was it a one-time thing? I bet the shot of tequila would have made it even more fun.
Kathy, I'm sure you had fun with RS!
Hottie, hope all is well...
Back to work...
Joanne
ETA...Oh, Chris, thanks for sharing the story about your enlarged lymph node. Ouch!! My old doctor did say the biopsy would be extremely uncomfortable and he wouldn't suggest it unless he thought it was really necessary. I'm fine with just a cat scan. I'm hoping they don't suggest a biopsy.

HI everyone..
Today is Vic's work from home day. So, I haven't been able to get to the computer!! UGH!!
I got my workout done this afternoon. Loved it! Wish she would make another one of those. Is there one like this in shock cardio? Once I got the combos memorized, I have so enjoyed this DVD..
Beth: Nice painting..So, there is a RS like cardio coming? Yuppie!!! I just reread were you said that..Oh my! I know those STS legs are tough! I am still having a tough time with the wall squats. I don't think I am at 90 degrees. But, I sure feel it. So, I guess I am getting something out of it!
Chris: Glad you got a great run in today..It makes me run harder too when I know someone is watching. Keeps me from stopping too. HAHA And to answer you from yesterday, I am on week 4..Looking forward to next week's recovery!
Ok, Chris has baseball practice tonight. So, I need to get dinner going...Talk to you later..

Kathy, I just went and looked at the original announcement about Shock Cardio (from back in March ) and it lists two step DVDs. One description does sound like RS. Exciting! I got really excited about the new DVDs after reading all those descriptions again!! I wish they would film so we can get them! My DH can be a computer hog, too! Except he's not doing work - he's playing solitaire.
Time to go home...yea! Have a good night all.

Yes, my recollection was certainly that there would be a RS/SB sort of step in shock cardio -- thank you Joanne for confirming!!! I know -- I want these, too!! I hope the music is terrific!
Yes, that's the artist -- if you want to see a photo of the painting in full, it's www.gordonsmedt.com/welcome.html but I think it's interesting to see it with a person in the pic to give you perspective on how big it is. I sure hope it fits on our wall! We're hoping to put it on the wall you see right when you walk in the door (where all the shoes get left! I think we ought to pay him a little more so he can paint in some backpacks and shin guards, too!).
The belly dance class is a series for I don't know how long -- I'll keep going as much as I can get myself out on a monday night..... it was really tough sleeping last night -- I think it really gave me a second wind (more like a hurricane).
We were driving home from school and as the boys were chowing down disgusting candy I was telling them why candy is bad and how as adults you just can't get away with eating sugar like that and stay skinny. I said something like "look at Daddy, look at me." Travis said "you're skinny" and Dylan said "yeah, Mom, you just look round because your muscles are so big." Gotta love those kids!

Hey Girls!
The boys are doing flash cards ... it was kind of nice, but turned into a fight. Now they're doing reading... *sigh*
Beth: OMG, I love that painting! The painter looks like a cool dude, the kind you'd like to kick back a few beers with , or maybe smoke a few with!. That's neat that you'll go back to belly dancing. One of my friends belly dances. She's a hot ticket! She also acts in plays too. Oh I'm so glad you Kathy and Joanne agree about the running faster thing! maybe I'm not so weird!
Kathy: I'm sooo excited for Shock Cardio the more and more I hear about it! It's going to be awesome!! Wow..week 4! next week... rest! How are you liking it the second time around? I actually think I like it better (so far!).
Joanne: It's crazy how I feel when I run and afterwards. I should do it more, as often as I can. It puts me in an incredible mood! It's very cool how me and my boys like the same music too. I get excited when they like the bands I do, esp. the older bands. Like Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Bon Jovi!. My husband is into all of that classic rock too. HE's got a TON of music. ... LIC is a good Cathe to do after a stretch. LIC Abs moved so quick, didn't it? I look up and all of a sudden she's doing those jack knife thingies. I liked the bananas today, because I had on Yellow and felt like one!. Hope the CT Scan is all you need! I'm sure it will be! Does your lymph node hurt at all? Or is it just swollen? And you were JUST sick with something too, so it should be swollen , no? Now I remember finding this lump on one of the kids heads after they were sick. I freaked out! Turned out it was a lymph node. Weird things they are!
Better go ... the boys (alex and jake) are now going to "take a bath together". I'm afraid!!!

OMG, Beth, I love that your boys said that! Doesn't it make you feel great? I know it's not the same, but I had this patient call me "the short really small nurse". One of the nurse's aides said his nurse was Chris tonight, and that's what he replied. he got all his meds first!

Oh Beth!! How wonderful to hear that from the kids. I love it when mine tell me that..
Thanks Beth and Joanne...I am getting more excited about those STS cardio workouts now that I know this for sure. I think I now remember reading about the workouts that Joanne was talking about..

You know, not that I've done a lot of STS this second time 'round, but it does seem like it's less frantic than my memory (meso 1). Wish I could do more of it! I did make an appt. with the chiropractor, but won't get in 'til next Wednesday.
Yes, the painter dude.... he oozes cool, for sure. I wish we had been awake enough to have gone to his party. I think their house is very cool -- Travis has been there, and it's also written up on cnn. It's a straw bale house that's very nice looking.... someday, maybe I'll have to go pick up Travis or something.
Oh, one more belly dancing tip she gave us.... when you are sitting in your car at red light, you're in the perfect position to practice the shoulder shimmy -- your lower body cannot move, and your hands are in the right position. Do it, Chris!
Oh, yeah, meant to tell you.... I did hear briefly from Hottie, she's ok, but just so, and we haven't heard from her because of internet woes. Hi Hottie!
Is anyone reading this?! It's late, I know.....
