Chris, Collin, and I really have no big plans this weekend - its weird! Not sure what we will do this morning - maybe some shopping? This afternoon Collin has a playdate with his girlfriend from school, no real plans for tonight. Tomorrow we are going to Winchester (about an hour drive) to do some shopping and go out to lunch.
I'm still not sure what workout I'm doing this morning... I think it needs to be something lower body. Maybe B&G - it's got lots of cardio-based moves, and I'm feeling like I need that with the non-running these days

I just walked to get a newspaper (about a mile round trip) and did some thinking. I have been sooooooooo bummed that I can't start my *official* race training program on Monday as planned. So here is what I decided...
I'm going to go ahead and start my program as planned, but just sub WALKING for RUNNING. That way I am still logging my miles, simulating the motion of running, and mentally I will feel SO much better knowing I am REALLY (sort of) starting my training as planned.
The program looks like this, and here is how I am going to change it up...
M stretch & stregthen / lifting (chest & back) and SM segment
T short, easy run / 3 mile walk
W speed work / IMAX or plyo, shoulders and stretch (pm)
T short, easy run / 3 mile walk, lower body and stretch (pm)
F off
S short, easy run / 3 mile walk, biceps, triceps, and stretch
S long run / long walk (5-6-7 miles, whatever is called for
What do you think?

Morning ladies
Katie good idea about your w/o rotation. Start slow and you will pick up in the next few weeks.
Kate enjoy the party.
I'm feeling better with this stupid cold but I'm still congested. I'm going to take some meds. Today I'll do some ellip and core work.

Woo hoo! Leaving for the beach in a couple of hours! Need to shower and finish loading up the car. Never worked out yesterday Ended up cleaning and packing and shopping Hopefully I can run on the beach tonight when it's cooler out. Do you think it'll be ok to run 3 days in a row (run/walk that is)? I'm so behind on my 5k training. I'm planning on running and doing body weight stuff-might take my BBC total body dvd too.
Katie, I think you're plan is great! You'll be ready for the half-no worries!
Kate, have fun at the American Girl event! My friend took her daughter to Chicago this weekend for the American Girl experience. I hope I can work on my tan this week although I'll never be darker than Darrin!
Hoping my sil takes her laptop so I can check-in once or twice this week. A week without my c&t girls is too long!
See ya!!

Klaudia, Have a great time at the beach!!!
Nina, Dang, it's hot in Florida!!!
"Easy 8miler" will never be in my vocab! You are AMAZING!!!

Wanna hear a Funny? I've been letting Julia wander around the kitchen without anything on her bottom so the yeast infection can dry out. She's peed more puddles on the floor than I can count but thus far I've avoided poop. All that changed this morning! I was putting dishes away and turned and looked at her. She had just done a HUGE pile on the kitchen floor! We're taking GINORMOUS! Like, she had been saving it all up just for that moment! DDs were LAUGHING THEIR HEADS OFF! It was quite funny.

Nina - I posted a sweet potato turkey loaf recipe a few days back. Or was it last week? I'll look for it and copy and paste for you.
Katie - So sorry for all that you are going through emotionally. Hang in there and it will get better although it may not always feel like it.
Kate - LOL about the poop! Hope her yeast is getting better. Did you find the gentian violet?
Klaudia - Have fun!! I'm totally jealous. I so want to go on vacation!
Hi Robin, Anne, Angie, Patti, Colleen, Steph!
Sorry I've been MIA. It's been so busy here. I've been staying to watch ds practice football because he asked. He's doing really well and enjoying himself. It does take up a lot of time though. He's on first string defense and excited about playing so it's all worth it. Anyway, did C&W last night. Not sure what's on tap for today. Eats today are clean so far. Next thing to do is plan Pomai's one year party. A Halloween theme! So excited!

Wow, slow weekend in here!
Yesterday was a very fun day - breakfast, lunch, and snack were on point. We went to Collin's girlfriend's house for a playdate, and we ended up having so much fun that they asked us to stay for dinner (which turned out to be burgers and fries). I did not say, "I'm sorry, I'm fat and I'm eating only salad's right now" but I guess I could have.
Today Chris and I are going to a town about an hour away to do some shopping. I am planning some step cardio this morning, and then lots of walking this afternoon!
BBL!
PS Kate that is HILARIOUS about JULIA!

Morning
Kate baby Julia can do no wrong.
Katie enjoy your shopping. What step did you do.
Lisa a halloween theme how exciting. Have the stores around your way selling halloween stuff yet?
Nina have you tried craig's list for jobs and your states Employment Security Commission. These are the places where I check in a couple times per week. The internet makes it harder to get jobs because everyone can see and apply for the postion, even people in another state. You have lots of experience so you get a job very soon.
Klaudia enjoy the sun shine.
My kids went to the store yesterday and came home with a orange tabbie kitten. Most orange tabs are males so I guess his name should not be Hazel. When does the testies drop in cats? I have to call a vet.

Hello from Muskegon! Got rained out on the beach a few hours ago so now we're all inside hanging out-lots of snacks and beverages. I've been pretty good so far-considering. I had to modify my running plan, omitting one day of week 4. Today I ran along the beach and all the way to this beautiful lighthouse with the waves crashing along the big rocks-awesome! Will do it again tomorrow Oh, and turns out the beach is across the street from the house and about 200 yards to the water! My calves and butt better be rockin' when we get home! Hoping for more beach time if the weather cooperates tomorrow and then some shopping, sightseeing, etc.
Robin, I took your beach advice and it worked! Congrats on the new member of the family!
Lisa, when is Pomai's birthday? Nevena's is October 27th and we had a Halloween party last year-the kids came in costumes, had pizza, then went out trick or treating with the dads while us moms hung out and passes out candy Came back for cake and ice cream. It was fun!
Katie, what a fun day you had! Darrin's been bugging me to have a drink and I'm trying to watch my calorie intake but don't want to be a party pooper either so I know what you mean about saying no.
Nina, wish we had some of your weather here! It was warm and windy earlier. Now it's windy and rainy Great run!
Ok, gotta get my buffalo chicken dip out of the oven!
TTYL!!
