Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 3/17

Good morning all and Happy Friday!

Nice to sleep in this morning, although I did make a trip outside around 2:00 am....


Garance, how do people pay you on Amazon? is it like PayPal? I may set up an account there too, and see if any of the DVD's that didn't sell on Ebay will sell there. I went over to Amazon...they only use a credit card for your account, can't use checking account...does that confuse your credit card bill? seems like money going in and ot of there could get messy? I have that C J Box book on my "to request" list from the library. I hope they get the E-book version, so nice not to have to go there and pick up then return. Are we getting lazy or what?

Lori, if you get tired of watching TV when you run, and want an interval type workout, the Run Fit download is pretty good.

Josie, are you counting down the days? LOL I sure would be...

I am meeting my friend for breakfast at 9:00...then may have a conference call to do this afternoon.

, then Kylee to agility class at 6:30. Somewhere in there I need to clean the den. Papers all over need to be filed or shredded. I hate paper...it's everywhere around here.

Take care,

Hi Ladies,

I did not workout yesterday, my right knee was bothering me, but today it feel fine.
I will be doing my pure cardio workout when I get home; we are going to a club with another couple tonight to listen to Kim Waters. My DH love Jazz!

My co-worker Stacey finally took a day off. She has been sick all week sneezing and coughing and refuses to use a Kleenex. I was so grossed out yesterday  I have been taking Emergency’s and vitamins every day so that I would not catch it. So far it is working.

This weekend I plan to run Saturday (3.5 miles) and do my plyo cardio circuit and Sunday I’m running with a friend that I have not seen since the holidays. We are running from the Venice Beach Pier to the Santa Monica Pier (six mile round trip) and then going to breakfast.

Deb, you know that I’m counting the days We had a meeting yesterday where they announced that a woman from the academic personnel was leaving the end of June and I wanted to scream that I was leaving too. I will be giving my notice June 1st. I just want to give them 30 days, otherwise I will have to be part of the search for my replacement and I would also need to train them and I don’t want to do that.

Garance, thank you for the information regarding Amazon. I also love Game of Thrones and can’t wait for the series to start again. I have not read any of the books though.

Hi to Lori and Joan!

Josie

Hi Deb, Josie, and Lori--

This morning I did Cardio Leg Blast (56:18).

Deb, you buy things at Amazon with your credit card, but when you sell an item, the money goes directly into your checking account. You give them a routing number from your checks when you set up a seller's account.

Josie, that's very shrewd of you. I did something sort of like that when I chose last year to have my semester sabbatical gift in the fall instead of the spring. That way I did not have to be responsible for this awful new system for our majors involving a ton of paperwork because advising is always a fall responsibility. There was a big article on Game of Thrones in last week's Entertainment Weekly and it involves a ton of locations. Daenerys' story line is in Morocco, Jon Snow's in Iceland, etc. The dragons are not so cute anymore either. Have fun with the jazz!

I'm going to the new Tina Fey film and a Rural Lands dinner on Sunday. That's my weekend fun. Otherwise, it's cleaning, shopping, errands.

HI Ladies!

No run this morning. Needed to leave early for work so just not enough time. I plan on Xtrain Legs tonight or I may change my mind at the last minute and do Butts and guts!

Jose, I read your emails and you sound like me with your workouts. I only run on TM never outside though. Outside is harder so I try and compensate for it. Right now I am running at a 3.5 incline and I use 1lb ankle and wrist weights for a little more intensity. Love running on an incline.

Deb..I am going to look into those workouts you mention. They sound like something I would like.

Trying to finish up reading Game of Thrones (taking your advice Garance) so I can watch Season 1. Comcast has S1&2 On Demand. My son will be recording Season 3 so I'll have that when I am ready. The books are soooo long so it will be forever before I get to season 3!

DH workin late tonight and all day tomorrow. Nothing planned. So doing the usual..house work, errands and working out. Going to call a friend to possibly get together Saturday night. If not then I will be watching The Hobbit as I had to purchase it as soon as it was released this week.

Have a great weekend!!!!

Good morning,

NADAC (North American Dog Agility Council) agility trial with Keegan this morning, wish me luck! Last time he ran out of the ring on one of the runs...Bad Boy! LOL...

Josie, keep counting down!

Garance, I do have an account with Amazon where my credit card is linked and I buy things...when I tried to set up a seller account, the only thing they would let you do is use your existing credit card, or add another one...I guess I have to look further into it...do they charge you ( take some money off the selling price) for each item you sell? Kind of like the listing fee on Ebay?

Lori, here is the link to her downloadable workouts....I think the Run Fit one is the best..I downloaded the walking level one, and it is just OK...
WWW.fitisitcardio.com...I saw The Hobbit in IMAX format and it was amazing!

Off to get ready...I sure hope he cooperates today...dogs...gottal love 'em!

Good afternoon ladies!

Nice day here in New England dispite all the snow on the ground. We have so much snow here it is going to take forever for it to melt.

Did all out low low impact followed by tabatacise. I used firewalker bands for the first tabata. I read on these forums some were doing this so I tried it out. Loved it! I should have thought of using the band sooner. After this I immediately took Chester for a 3 mile walk. Figured I better do it right then. If not once I started to rest I knew I would not be moving later on!

Hope all went well at the dog council for you Deb. I can't imagine Chester doing this. He is like a bull and just plows thru things.

Garance how was the movie? I have seen the ads for it. One more week to go and we are done with xtrain. I am going to start STS but going to wait a couple of weeks. I want to catch up on some workouts that I have not done in a while. Funny how you kind of miss them!

Have a great night!
