Good morning!

It's bright and early. I am up and moving because I have a client coming to work out at 8:00 then another at 10:00 then my w/o ( PP, LB, 2x) then hitting the books ( CD-ROM, actually, LOL)

Randi: I have no idea if they can get a pic from Picture Trail, but I'm sure there must be a way to get one to them. I had my teenagers do it for me. You need to recruit some teenager person from somewhere, they always know how to do that stuff.

Cheryl: I sent you an email.

So, my DH is NOT coming on the trip with me now. He started a new job in May after retiring from the NYPD in April ( he actually works at the West Point Military Academy now if you have heard of it)but the problem is that he would need to take off three days as he works weekends for now. He doesn't get paid when he takes off. I booked the RT before he retired and didn't know where he would be working or what the circumstances would be. We were pretty used to having all the flexibility we needed. Anyway, right now we are playing catch up from my business closing and all so he really can't afford to take the time, plus, it wouldn't be a good thing for him to take three days off just yet as for how that would look. So, I asked around to see if anyone would just want to come and take the ride, have a free hotel room to stay at and maybe spend the weekend going to Atlantic City. So now, my cousin and his daughter are going to come. I am pretty close with them and I feel better with someone driving with me ( I am a baby about this, I admit. I am used to having DH drive everywhere with me when we do drive long distances). My cousin goes to A.C. all the time anyway, so it works out good. They will probably come use the gym on Saturday. I am just dissappointed that my DH won't be able to be there, although I would have left him alone for the most part anyway. But he would have liked to have met some of you and he already went to Cathe's gym with me for our own RT back in September and met her with me and wanted to go back. Oh well. :-(

Okay, going to pour more coffee. I will check back later when I take a study break...

Have a great day!
 
Good morning! Just got to work and am dragging...

Randi, they should be able to get a pic from your picture trail. Have you tried saving one and emailing it to them? All you have to do is have your cursor on the picture, use the "right click" on your mouse and a menu will pop up. Click on "save picture as" and save it to something, like My Documents. Then you should be able to email it to them.

Vicki, sorry to hear your DH isn't going on the RT with you but at least you found someone to come for the ride.

Tonight's workout is Imax 2 blasts only premix and S&H Chest & Back.

Okay, off to have my oatmeal and cup of coffee. Hopefully it wakes me up!

Have a good day everyone!
 
Good Morning RTers!

I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday, but Saturday's workout ended up being cleaning, lol. My house really needed it, so I didn't get to Imax 2 until yesterday. I felt great from having a rest, though, and it was a good workout. Cardio Fusion is on tap today :)

Randi -- I'll probably have to take a pic of me for the who's who book, since I'm always the one taking pictures, lol. So, if I get around to it, there'll be one, if not, I won't be in it, either.

Vicki -- Sorry to hear about the crummy work situation for your DH. I'm glad you found someone to come with you, though. I'm sure you'll have a great time either way :D

I hope you all have a great day!

Carol
 
Good Morning RTers!

Today I did ME upper body and abs and then ran 3 miles. Good workout!
No time for personals today. I am off to teach "summer fun" at the pre-school where I teach. It's a Dr.Seuss week and toay is the Cat in the Hat.:)

Gin
 
Good morning!

I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday, but I did manage to do BG, and am feelin it this morning}( Todays schedule says LIC#3.

I had a horrible dream last night- I drempt I missed my flight for the RT, and couldn't find my hotel room-LOL!:eek:

Randi-What Melissa said should work with saving your picture then e-mailing it. If you need some help let me know.

Vicki- Sorry your DH can't come, but I'm glad you were able to find some company to come with you:) Now get back to studying!

Melissa-Enjoy your workout!:)

Carol-I love CF! By the time I get to the last drill I am ready for it to be done!

Gin- great workout!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Michelle:)
 
Goodmorning everyone.

Randi, I'm as computerally challenged as you! I just bought a digital camera and figured out how to send a picture from it to the computer, but DD had to show me how to attach it to an email. I still haven't sent it. By the time I get around to it, later this week, I'll probably need a remedial lesson.

Vickie, I'm glad you found someone to share your drive and the room. Bummer your DH can't come, but he wouldn't have seen much of you anyway. I keep telling my DH he won't see me, but I don't think he believes me.

Carol, I did Cardio Fusion yesterday. I forgot how long and hard it is! I ended up skipping the last 2 drills. Have fun.

Gin, sounds like a fun day!

Michelle, scary dream. You weren't naked in it, were you? Whenever I have a dream like that, I'm naked too.

Hi Melissa.

This afternoon I'm hoping to do something cardio. Maybe RS or SB. Haven't decided yet. Have a great day.
 
Good morning everyone!

This morning I did MIC. It always seems about 2 hours long!
Randi, I was wondering the same thing on the picture. I going to give it a shot. Thanks for all the tips ladies.

Yesterday I drove 30 miles to the outlet center to be told the Nike store closed in Januaryx( So, I came back and went to Dicks and bought a couple of outfits that are passable. Everything was picked over and unorganized and I had a hard time finding mediums in anything. Oh well.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Kara
 
LOL, Robin! No, I wasn't naked, but I had forgot to pack any workout clothes:( So not only had I arrived there late, and unable to find my room, but I had forgotten to pack any workout clothes...it was just a horrible feeling;(
 
Hi ladies. Well I think I'm ready for the RT. I went to target and costco this weekend and bought a few tops and some cargo pants. I couldn't resist buying a pair of brown cargo pants. I'm sure everyone will be wearing them since Cathe's that she had on her blog seemed so popular. :) I just think they look so cute.

Workouts were good this weekend. I did GS Back and PowerMax on Saturday. Yesterday I did a L&G/KPC premix and this morning I walked with my neighbor. Eating was decent this weekend too. I am leaving for Florida on Thursday so I have a lot to do between now and then to get ready. Have a great day ladies.


Randi - awesome job on KPC. Yes you should be able to save a picture from your picturetrail. Or I bet if you just send Kathy S a link to it, she can get it for you from there.

Vicki - I am sorry your DH won't be able to come on the trip but at least you will have company for the drive. How long of a drive is that from where you are? I am nervous about driving from the airport to the hotel but I'm actually more nervous because I will have people in the car with me. :)

Melissa - Enjoy your Imax 2 and S&H!! I love your avatar by the way. Your photo is cute!

Carol - I always count house cleaning as a workout too. I get more cardio cleaning house than I do any tape!

Gin - Enjoy cat in the hat! That was always my favorite Dr. Seuss. :)

Michelle - Don't worry. I'll program your phone # into my cell phone and will guide you to the hotel room if I have to. I'll even come pick you up if you get lost on the way. :) Hmm workout clothes, ummm... I'll drive you to the mall if you forget them?? :)

Robin - your new photo is cute too!

Kara - total bummer about the Nike outlet!
 
Hi ladies! I'll try and come back for personals, but things are crazy here at work, so I only have a second to check in. I am leaving on vacation next week, so I have a lot to get done this week. :/ I plan on doing Imax 2 tonight. I have made a commitment to myself to work out every day this week. No rest until the weekend. I expect you all to keep me accountable too! ;) Gotta run... Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that your Monday workouts go great! :)
 
I will be doing Scrambled Eggs and B & G 's tonight for my workout.

Randi - great idea about taking a picture from your picture trail, I might be doing the same thing.

Michelle - I always dream weird dreams like that! Can you imagine getting to the RT with no workout clothes? YIKES!!

Tess - you are prepared with your clothes. I will be looking at Target and maybe Dunham's. I did look on-line at some sites, but they were either really ugly or $90 for a pair of workout pants. I will not pay that. It is too much.

Vicki - I e-mailed you back. I am glad that you got someone to take your husbands place on the trip. I will be flying by myself - something I have never done before. I have never gone anywhere by myself in 32 years. I at least have my hubby with me.

Only 25 days to go - the countdown is here!

Good morning roadtrippers! At least it's still morning here in Az!
I went out early this morning for my long run. If I don't make it out there by 0600 I can forget about it, just gets too dang HOT!
Anyway, I got in a very satisfying 12 miles. Next week I start my official training program for my second marathon (Las Vegas Dec2)

Jacque- I initially booked a flight on Friday but then changed it and it didn't really cost that much. You may want to look into it. There's lots of people coming in on Thursday so you'll have plenty of us to hang out with and have fun. I've done the wake up at 0230 bit to get to Sky Harbor and it's no fun! Whenever you come it'll be good to see ya! I plan on a trip down to Bisbee in Oct (which is in your basic area of the state) for the Bisbee Stair Climb... have you ever heard of it?

Randi- My goodness, ifyou can set up a picturetrail account you can e-mail your pic! It's actually much simpler. At the top of your e-mail page click on attachments and a separate window appears with a scroll bar on top. Your pics are usually stored under my documents and you can browse til you find one you like. Give it a try! If my poor old addled brain can handle it, anyone can!

Vickie- I'm sorry your DH can't make it but maybe it's for the best... he'd probably be a bit bored.

Melissa- Those IMAX2 blasts are fun! I frequently like to add them on.

Carol- Cardiofusion is one breaat toushy kicking workout! Have you ever tried the Mix&Match premix..... OMG!

Gin- I didn't know you were a runner! Great job on your 3miler today. Do you ever participate in races?

Michelle- Funny story about your dream! I think as the time grows nearer we're all going to be having some RT nightmares ;-)

Robine- BTW, I love your avatar pic!! Sounds like a fun workout day for you. RS and SB are classic fun (and sweaty) step w/os.

Kara- How frustrating to drive so far for nothingx( At least you did find some outfits that day.

Tess- I plan on a Target shopping foray myself for something appropriate. LOL about everyone wearing cargo pants. Cathe looks so cute in them, but then again she'd look good wearing a tarp!
Have a great Florida trip!!! Where are you going?

Liann- Vacation time almost!!! Have fun

Cheryl- I remember you're the karate champ! (Do I remember correctly?) Anyway, you have an awesome leg workout day planned!
What's your take on the pics from the Kickbox workout in the upcoming 4daysplit series?

Time to get moving again... in a bit I'll be doing a BBC workout..
Shoulders & Arms.
Later y'all

ShellyC,

You have a very good memory. Yes, I am the one who has a first degree black belt in karate. Cathe's pictures look awesome on the blog. The write up that Chris did on the filming makes them look even better. I hope she does some of the same stuff with us on the RT, that would be totally awesome!

You are the marathoner. Didn't you have a three day event or something that you have to run 60 miles? Or was that someone else who was training for a three day walk? Maybe that is Vicki I am thinking about.

I do remember that you amaze me with the distances that you can run!

Cheryl
 
Good Afternoon Ladies,

Today I did muscle endurance and plan to try to get in a light run this evening. I am waiting to the last minute for outfits to see how I am feeling. Definitely can't wait for the trip. I keep thinking I need to watch all the videos so that I can remember what she calls things. I have this nightmare that Cathe will use all kind of "inside" names for things that I forgot and be the only one standing stil for her routines. SIGH.

No time for nutritionals today but so looking forward to the RT...

RTP - I plan to leave my mom in charge of RTB. She actually bird sat him on Saturday while I did my bunny quest. I learned everything I know about nursing orphan animals from her, so I know she'll take good care of him. :) Who knows, he might even be flying by the time I get back!

I don't think I told you gals about my orphan bird. I found him in a parking lot, actually in the middle of a parking lot. My DH saw him right before I would have ran him over. We parked the car and moved him to a nearby tree. The little guy hopped after me as I walked away though and after looking for his nest, I didn't have the heart to leave him. He's been eating like a pig and growing. I hand feed him canned dog food believe it or not. That's what all the rescue sites recommended. Anyways, we think he is a Robin, so I've been calling him "RTB" (Robin the Bird) and calling Robin - "RTP" (Robin the Person) so we do not get them confused! ;)

This is the old picture. I'm going to get a new one tonight after his bath:

Cheryl: Um, I can say with all certainty that it's definitely not me training for anything that requires a 60 mile run!! haha. Yup, not me alright! I'll go read your email in a minute...

Dianne: My cousin should be able to take over the A-Team mission! He is a retired NYC Fire fighter, I think that is almost as good. Basically as long as he can dial the phone we should be okay!! (That was DH's job pretty much, right? I mean, we were going to make him feel more improtant in an emergency situation since he is now a retired PO, but My CUZ should be able to handle it. Actually, he has a bigger ego than my DH... )

OMG... I am going nuts from studying. I am literally trying to cram an entire course into 2 weeks here. I have noone to blame but myself. If I don't pass at least I know what to expect and I can take it again. I have to pay $95.00 to do that, but, I'll just have to forego shoe shopping for a spell, huh? ( I shudder at the thought. That thought alone is motivation to give it my best attempt.)Plus, I might have to be EXTRA nice to DH for a while so he doesn't say "I told you so" ;-)

Okay, enough of a break, back to the studying.
 
Vicki,

I didn't mean a 60 mile run. I meant doing a walk for three days. For instance, 20 miles per day. I remember someone posting that they were training for something like that.

I know you walk alot, so that's why I mentioned you. I don't think anyone can do a 60 mile run. Well, maybe in three days!

Good luck on Friday!
