I'm sure there will be tons of pictures. Speaking of pictures, I probably should figure out what I'm going to wear, mother of the bride and all...
Have a safe trip and I know you will look great!!
I am going to sign myself up for the Insane Inflatable 5K. It just looks too fun. I may or may not also sign up for the Gritty Goddess again. Still thinking about it.
What is an insane inflatable 5K?
A 5K obstacle course of bouncy houses for big people!!! They are all over the country. The one in my area comes up in late March.0 -

Actually, I see Oberon21 in this quote... maybe older quotes before I changed don't change?
Ah maybe. I thought they were new posts because your name/avatar was oberon
I meant older as in seconds or days before I changed??
You are Oberon WAY back in 1034
I haven't come across any quotes tho.
And yay for running. You can do 7-10 miles for me. lol. If I were allowed, today is my 10 miler day. I'll have to settle for walking a few miles on the slow, uninclined treadmill (I'm allowed that and slow swimming as per my dr. )
I confess to being done one leg warmer that I made WAY too big so its a thigh high and is way bulky, but should be warm. Took me a week, Even wove in my ends. Now I have to start the second one. I think its awesome. If I figure out how to post pics I will.
I'm nursing a foot injury, plantar fasciitis that won't go away. I used to run about 25-30 miles a week, now I don't run at all. I have filled the cardio void with swimming, hitting the heavy bag, spinning, and HIIT, and of course, eating less to remain in maintenance (which is unfortunate)! But nothing takes the place of running, it was basically my church and psychiatrist's couch. I have been doing rehab and wearing shoe inserts, and have a follow up with a podiatrist in early March, so hopefully I will be back in time for spring.
I had a bad case in 2014. I got the injection in my foot, did a TON of stretching and wear inserts in my shoes and haven't had any problems since. I run anywhere between 0-50 miles per week. LOL
I signed up for three races today, including the Tucson marathon. I'm still just building endurance and mileage slowly. Two miles on a 2.5% incline today. I am excited. I also finally told SO that I'm doing it. He is fully on board as consultant and coach. Yay!!! First up, a five K next month. A 10 K in March (or early April, I have to look) and I'm looking over some halfs in the summer months. There is one called "bucket of blood" (YIKES).
That's awesome! I was crazy and signed up for five races (two halfs, 1 10K, 2 15K) this spring too and I am so excited and a bit freaked out as I really only started running in, what, October?
Is the "bucket of blood" one themed or something, or is it just terrifying?
You are going to love racing.
I hope so! I can't wait to run with that extra motivation from other people and a timing chip!

Searching for this now in Canada, because it sounds like a riot.0 -
Just found this!

(apparently you can't carry quotes over the pages, but to those ppl who commented on my photo) Yes it is R2-D2! My running partner wears leg warmers all the time and she keeps trying to get me to try them, and once I was told no more running she told me I had to make Star Wars themed leg warmers. I was going to do R2-D2 and C-3PO but I can't find gold yarn, so I'm doing the other one as BB-8.0

I looked into the foam ones, but apparently by the time they get to mid-canada they run out of foam. This year the reviews weren't that good.0 -

Oh, Canada is much closer for me than Vegas. Annual trips for the win!
ETA: well, not ALL of Canada. Toronto is close. Niagara Falls...0 -
That sounds great. After Vegas, a yearly meet up trip for all who can make it!0

I'll be celebrating by driving 500 miles to attend my daughter's spur of the moment wedding.
That's exciting! Only you don't look very excited...
Driving 500 miles is anything but exciting. (it was 515 from my driveway to Tamara's dorm at Mississippi State.)

They set up inflatables throughout the course and you have to climb through them and then run to the next one. I have never run one, but they are fun to watch...

I was up to 25 miles a week, as well as 10+ miles of walking as well (I live in a tiny town, so I don't drive anywhere) And so this inactivity thing just SUCKS.
I'm very scared that since I can't be as active as I was I'm going to regain all the weight I lost plus friends. Or I'm going to lose muscle tone, and be skinny flabby
Hi Myles! Are you north, south, east or west of Winterpeg? I'm in northwestern Ontario myself.
I'm sorry for your forced inactivity.
Hi Glinda, I'm just south of the Winterpeg, all my activities are in the city actually.
I'm a bit of a weirdo and when I hear Northwestern Ontario my mind goes to Atikoken. Am I close? lol.
and @Oberon21 nope, its a late 1970s style, but not vivid, I need to figure out how to get the pics on my phone on to here. (Finger crossed that worked)
Reminds me of R2D2.
Is that on purpose?
I thought it was Star Wars looking too, lol.0 -

I'm wearing a skirt and tights today and I'm considering not drinking anything so I don't have to bother with the bathroom. The tights are a PITA to take off.0
