Hello Happy Runners
Lets see if I can reply to yesterday's comments:
Gayle- How disappointed you and your Mom must have been yesterday at that poorly set up race. And the t-shirt on the kid was in bad taste.
Sarah- Your comments on Gayle race experience were so 'on the mark.' Everyone who chooses to be active should be applauded! And no tacky t-shirts accepted.
Carole- I was surprised to learn that you do legs before your run. I may try it. I can see how it might feel good, but perhaps I would do a flatter course on leg day?
I hope youe 20 mile run goes well ( shakes her head and doesn't understand running 20 miles ...yet)
Jes- The pancake recipe looks yummy.
Shelly- How far did you run with your new trail shoes? I don't have any races planned. So far I am just enjoying learning to run. I do set little goals for myself though.
Sarah- Nice time on the 5 K.
Laura- Are you healing form your infection?
Hi to Karenvictoria, Elaine, Pamela, Barb and Marcia and Mattea and Thomasina
Today is my weekly rest day and I will golf.

Hi! I'm fairly new to Cathe and the boards and hadn't noticed this check-in section before. I was wondering if Runners Check-In is an established group or if you might have room for a newcomer?

Great--thank you!! 
As I mentioned, I'm new to Cathe (started in April) but not new to running...though I *have* been on hiatus for a loooong time and now have some pounds to shed. At this point, I am working on slowly building up mileage & endurance. I used to run 5Ks - half-marathons and eventually would like to get back to that, but for the moment, my immediate goal is just to get fit again. I must say...even though I have only added Cathe's GS workouts to my repertoire in the past 3-4 weeks, I am already seeing a transformation in my body. And now, of course, I want all her DVDs.
Anyway, this morning I did a 30-minute run (call me Ms. Slowski @ an 11 min. mile) and I plan to do Muscle Max next.
Have a great run/workout, everyone! Enjoy this beautiful day~

welcome cathy!
judy, yeah I am still fighting this dang infection. I woke up this morning even more congested throughout my chest. My doctors out of town of course. Next best thing to dr. is mom, she had some antibiotics that I have used before so I am starting them today. I am afraid that if I wait until tuesday then I will be even worse. I probably will have to pass on tomorrows 5k, which is really ticking me off. I wanted to run it but, if I cant breath then I wont be able to push myself like I do on 5k's. BUMMER!
goodluck on your 20miles carole.
sarah your 5k time was great! wish I could come in at that time, one of these days!
gayle, people that treated your mom like that should be ashamed of themselves. Just like what I deal with my SIL always thinking she has to beat someone. It is done right nerve racking! people like that have a real problem with themselves. that mother isnt teaching her child good things either with that shirt thing and all. I always tell my son zachary that it isnt always about winning , Its because I love the sport of running.
goodluck elaine on your 10k! I havent done a 10K yet,maybe this year!!
talk with everyone later!

Hi Everyone
Quick check in to say Hello.
Did my long run today -- my last one before the race next weekend. I felt pretty good. Went 10 miles and it was like a rehearsal for the race. I did all my stuff before and after: slideboard, floorwork, abs and plan to do StretchX in about 6-8 hours. The temperature here shot up, after weeks of rain. So it was different running in shorts (but because I am whacko superstitious, I still wore my gloves -- good look for me don't you think? ) I added a little salt to the drink mix I'm carrying and I think that worked well.
GAYLE -- On the end part of the run, I imagined all of us putting Gayle's mom on our shoulders like she was a float in a parade to celebrate that she did the 5K and counter all the negative that occurred yesterday. Sarah's captured for me the awfulness of what happened. You did great -- your time sounds mighty good to me! And your mom can't be patted on the back enough for getting out there and doing her best.
SARAH -- Congrats on your race yesterday. I thought of you today when I ran and felt tired and thought "Right, I'm tired, because for me, this is a long run and I am supposed to be tired....." and it definitely helped.
ELAINE-- good luck today!! I can't wait to hear how it goes. Funny about your husband's approach to training. My DH (though he's great) has a different approach to exercise and weights as well. He's doing p90x Lean Rotation though this month and I see him being humbled in a good way. I can't wait to start those tapes on June 5, Mattea's bday...
JUDY-have fun golfing. I am in awe, too, of Carole's 20 miles.
SUPER CAROLE-have a great run today. Did you use your slideboard yesterday? The firm/laminate type one I have is a lot easier for me to use than the ones that roll up. You can really push off and get a nice leg extension.
CATHY-- welcome!!!
KAREN-- have a great run with your family today.
LAURA-- sorry tohear you are still feeling ill. I hope you can turn this around soon and feel back to yourself. If I'm remembering right, your mom is a nurse--so maybe the antibiotics will help.
SHELLY--how was your workout yesterday? I thought of you on the hills today! You are my hill inspiration.
MATTEA-- how are you feeling about your 5K? It's so great you're doing the race.
Hi to everyone else who will check in later. I won't be online much today. We're heading out to the pool and plant-flowers-in-window-boxes-MAX.
Have a great day!

Sorry that I was MIA yesterday. Our internet connection, which is through the university where I work, was down yesterday for a scheduled maintenance and I had to survive without, it was tough, but I made it;-)
Laura-I second Karen's advice on Slow and Heavy and Sarah's advice on the diet for definition. Although, I'm using the Gym Styles right now and seeing some pretty awesome results. Hope you feel better soon!
Judy-Enjoy the rest day and nice job on the speedwork yesterday, that sounds like one tough run.
Karen-Here's to hoping you increase your mileage today! Yes, we will be 5King on the same day, so I'll join you across the finish line!
Carole-Thanks for the encouragement and the cake! However, I think everyone misunderstood my post, it's my first 5K "of the season" not first 5K ever. I ran a few of them last spring, but haven't had a chance for more until now that school has let out. Good luck on the 20 miles today, understands running 20 miles, but only "understands" with my mind, not by body--that is in no way ready, lol!
I like to mix up the leg work, but I usually find that my legs feel so warmed up by the run that I can lift better. Of course, my mileage is nowhere as high as yours, so that could explain it as well.:7
Jess-Nice job on MM (does that "MMmmm" stand for the pancakes as well?) Give your DD a high five for me on the biking!
Elaine-Results lady, results! Hope the race is awesome!
Cathy-Welcome!! The GS series are a particular fave of mine, for style and results And great run this morning! It's not slow, you're just training smart as too fast might get you injured and then where would you be?
ShellyC-New shoes are so great, aren't they? I have my eyes on some new Saucony's but haven't bitten the bullet yet. Thanks for the compliment on my posts and DH, I'll pass that along. DH was actually the one who got me into running. He's did track and cross-country for years and so loves running, I used to loathe it, but he has been nothing but encouraging and patient and now I love it too:7 Nice Gym Styling yesterday! I also did C&T and managed to increase a few of my weights. Also, thanks for the 5K encouragement, but I'm afraid it's a little misplaced (see my post to Carole:+ )
Gayle-Sorry about the crappy race experience. It's stuff like that which keeps people away from races--fitness, health, family, the last person across the finish line is just as important as the first, maybe more important because it was tougher for them and their still out there giving it their best. Makes me fume!!
Pamela-Hi and nice job on the the speedwork!
Sarah-Sweet time on the 5K! Let us know your placement when you find out! Also, thanks for your encouragement on the 5K, but see the above post to Carole to clear up the misunderstanding You are too sweet! But I'll still follow your solid advice!
Barb-I like the look, gloves and shorts, it's very Diane Keaton, lol;-) Glad everything went well, I'm glad you're racing the day before my b-day with me. I'll be thinking of you.
Hi to Thomasina, Amy, Christine, and Marcia when they check-in!
I'm feeling so excited about my race! It's only 1 week away so I'm trying to figure out the best way to spend this week rotation-wise. Yesterday after GS C&T DH and I went to the local track and I did a timed mile. 7:24!! I know it's not that fast, but for someone who used to hate running and walk some of the mile run in school, this is a huge accomplishment. It's the fastest that I've ever run a mile in (that I know of, lol) and I was so excited! We also some other speedwork on the track and today will be crossing training. A-jock's Turkey Day Mish Mosh I think. If you haven't done that one before it's a cardio monster!
Have a great day!

OK. I'm back from my 10K. I forgot to turn off my watch and didn't stick around for the results but my DH who was standing at the finish line says my time was 49:58 (8:02 pace). I'm happy enough about the time I guess but I never ever know when to kick it at the end. It's always too early or not soon enough. Today it was too early. I wear a HRM which helps with that problem but I got confused at the end because of the many turns on streets to the end.
I thought of you guys so much while I was running it and at one point I went through the list of all or your names in my head. One of the high points of my life is having my virtual running mates! I think the endorphins are still flowing because I've got the urge to say "I love you guys!!"

Good morning....GO CHEETAHS......RAH, RAH, RAH!!!! :7
Just back from a 12 mile run. I used my new trail shoes and it felt great! I technically wasn't on a trail, but it was a dirt road and not that well maintained in parts so it was a good test for them. I really felt the difference in how they "gripped" the surface.
Mattea- A 7:24 mile is "not that fast"???? Maybe according to you but to me that makes you queen cheetah of the day...make that the month! You're going to turn on a great 5k run next week I'll bet
Carole- another 20 miler (drops open jaw in amazement ) Do you plan on going over this amount before your 50 K run in July?
I'm so glad I made the decision to purchase trail shoes. They were well worth it.
Judy- Have a great golfing day. That sport intimidates me...It seems to require alot of skill and coordination.
Karen- best of luck on your long run today!!
Cathy-- Welcome, welcome We love having new running nuts to chat with! You sound like you're on a very sensible program right now. Nothing wrong with taking it slow and easy, that's what ultimately works the best. I'm very curious as to your USer ID name--May I ask what it means. My DH and I collect guns and go shooting alot.. that's why I ask.
Laura- I'm so sorry you're still sick. It's hard to cancel a race but it's probably the smart thing to do. I would caution you about the antibiotics though. Most URIs (upper resp infection) are viral caused, you could actually be doing more harm than good, especially taking someone elses prescription. (Sorry for the lecture, I'm an RN and I can't help it!)
Elaine-- 10K today.......WOOHOOOOO...you'll leave em in the dust for sure!
Barb- Wow, I've never been anyone's inspiration before! Especially on those &%@*&%$#@ hills!!! 10 miles today...keep up the good work!
Well, got to do some clean max now....having some family over for a BBQ tonight. I hope to fit in some KPC this afternoon.
Hello Pamela,Wendy,Gayle,Sarah,Jess,Marcia,Thomasina and any other fantastic cheetah I may have missed.

Welcome, Cathy!! I'm new to posting here too but love it!! I've only been running a couple yrs now but have gotten hooked & just love it. I've only been doing Muscle Max for a couple mos now & just recently got Pyramid upper/lower body & KickMax to add in for some variety. I *heart* Cathe DVD's!! She totally kicks butt! I'd love to get the GS series next, it's on my wish list! I want all of her DVD's too, wish I had the money for that!
Good job on getting in your run & hope you got MM done!
Hugs,

Carole- you rock!! How was the 20 miler today??? My longest run to date is 14 miles, but am hopefully going to be doing more than that this summer/ fall as I marathon train!!! (did I mention that I'm pretty sure I'm going to do a marathon in late Sept??) I'll be getting some tips/ advice from you if you don't mind!!!

Good afternoon!! I am calling it a rest day today. I'm going to do some Pilates & stretching but that's it. It was nice to sleep in til 7:15 this morning! I was going to run this morning but never heard from my running buddy & I'd rather do a run tomorrow (holiday) instead. That way I won't feel guilty for the food I'll eat when we have our family over for a cookout!! (although, I bought the Hebrew national 97% FF hot dogs for myself & whole wheat buns! ;-) )
Went to church & am chillin' out w/ my 2 older dd's this afternoon. We're going to paint our nails & have a fun *girls* afternoon while my wonderful dh is out mowing the lawn in 92 degree heat!!
Have a great day & WTG to everyone for getting in those great workouts!! My shoulders were feelin' it from MM y'day- love that!
Oh, and I got called tan & skinny today so feelin' good!

Cathy...I am a slowski too...trail runs and getting older can do that!!! Yes, Cathe is a HUGE addiction and I think I have all of her workouts except for the beginner ones she made last year or the year before...GS's are great and enjoy MuscleMax!
Laura...there will be other 5K's.....take care of yourself now, that is what is important!
Good job on your long run Barb!! I always wear a glove on my right hand...I always get teased about being a Michael Jackson fan, but the truth is I have allergies....and I think that is enough info!! No, I didn't use my slide yesterday, but I do plan too soon, because of you...
Mattea...sorry about your internet being down....as far as lifting before or after...it is just something you have to figure out. After could be easier for some people.....Hey..a 7:24 mile is awesome!!! I did A-Jocks Turkey Day Mish Mosh last Turkey Day, YEOW!!!!
Good job Shelley...glad the trail shoes felt good! I actually should get a couple of runs over 20 before the 50K, but not sure that will happen!
Elaine...http://bestsmileys.com/signs16/19.gif[/img] 8:02 is a great pace!! I know I think of everyone here alot during my long runs when it gets tough...an absolutely great bunch of Cheetahs!!!
Well my sister was a bit off with guessing the distance today. So we did 19 miles...http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/b0/pray.gif[/img] I know, a bit wimpy...http://planetsmilies.net/9449.gif[/img]

Mattea ~ a 7:24 mile IS fast!! That's great!! I just hit a 7 min mile for my 5K last week & it felt great! WTG on improving your speed. I think my mile for gym in HS was like 14 min or something terrible like that!! My motto used to be only run when chased!!
And my dd was so proud of herself, she was telling everyone that she biked for 3 1/2 miles! I'll give her another high five too!
Have a great day!
Hugs,

Good afternoon you lovely Cheetah ladies! I love that!
Things have been buts around here, so please forgive my absence. Went for a short 3 mile run yesterday just getting the ole bod used to running again - went faster though, so that was good. It felt great to be out again. Then I did some step and Billy Blanks Rock Solid Abs - interesting workout, but holy cow the bands kill! I ended up dropping them and using hand and ankle weights.
I've been doing so much Cathe, that I got to missing my goofy Tony, so I did Kenpo X and Plyo X back to back. Okay, quads are rather sore now, but it was a fun workout. Tomorrow is Chest, Shoulders and Arms, Ab Ripper X and a long run. Should be a wonderful day!
Elaine - you did fabulous! I think an 8 minute mile pace is wonderful. I'm still doing a 10 minute one.
Gayle - great job on your wacko 5k run! I've never heard of a 5k that doesn't allow walkers. I'm glad you mom took it in stride. Dunning on grass and ducking under bridges - sounds interesting!
Waves hello to everyone else. I have to run and get back to pretending I have a family *grins*. Enjoy your weekend ladies!

I'm back from my long run. Holy Crap it got hot here. I wanted to increse my milage today but since we got out of the house later than expected it was really starting to boil outside. I did manage to get in 10 good miles but with the heat I thought. No Way!!! It was like 1:00 by the time I got done the 10 miles. Like I said we got started out later . Usually I'm done by noon but we didn't even get to the trail runs until close to 11. I'm happy with 10.
Barb- Great job on the long run today. Enjoy the stretch and the taper.
Elaine- Fantastic time girl. You did great. I was thinking of you today.
Mattea- Your going to be just fine. Just pretend that Barb and I are running right next to you. We will be!!! What time does yours start. Mine is 8:00.
ShellyC, Jess, ( I think we had the same sun in the area), Christine, Judy, Laura and my Carole. Great workouts today and great running.
I have to say this is my first run in the heat. Like I said I began running in Nov and all of my outdoor runs thus far have been pretty good as far as the elements. I've done cold, wind and mild but never heat. Wow is that a whole new ball game. I ran the first three just fine and then I began to sip water for the next 7 after each mile. That really helped. I am really seeing that this is such an individual process each time you run and under what circumstances you run. I 'm figuring it out cheetah's.
