Happy Saturday!
Got in 4 miles this morning-- out of desperation. Sick kid yesterday -- 102.5 -- finally got to bed to be woekn by projectile vomitting all over me and the bed -- ahhhhh the joys of motherhood. oh -- and hurt my back yesterday. Still hurting today but couldn't stand to skip another day -- definitely a sanity run!

Oh -- and Becky -- I have been burnt to a blister by soup out of the microwave. Popped and hit my on my face! Yep -- big giant blister on my face!

Kelynn- congrats on the healthy day! and thanks for your generosity. I used all 48 of your extra calories...and then some! send my your password -- I'll try to join Leash on the pastry police patrol. And mine is open for all to see -- bad choices and all!

Oh, that is NOT fun! Hope your little one is feeling better. The stomach flu is going around in my dd's school and I am NOT happy about that!! So far so good for my girls...

Good job getting it done!

Good Saturday morning!! Rainy here today. Glad I took advantage of the gorgeous weather and ran outside y'day! Hit the gym for 50 min AMT + 1,200 yard swim + some aquajogging w/ my buddy who has a foot injury. :frown: She's training for the AZ Rock n Roll marathon so hitting the pool hard like I did when I had my stress fractures. Glad to get it done early!!!

Have a great Saturday!!

Morning everyone! I've been up since 6:30, lame... I told myself last night that I was going to sleep in until at least 8, that didn't go so well. Oh well I'm pretty awake! I am going to be working on a powerpoint presentation for most of the day... probably go sit at a starbucks, I get too distracted at home. I hope you guys all have a beautiful day, we have vball tryouts allllll day tomorrow so I gotta get stuff done today.

Nice 4 miler Julie, running is therapy!

Glad you got a nice run in yesterday Jess, sounds like great weather.

Hope your 22 miler is going well becky or went well!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!!!!!

Here I am at starbucks procrastinating and changing my entire topic on my presentation which means I'll be heading to the library, whos idea was that?! Oh yea mine, I just didn't care about what I was doing so I changed it to something vball related which as you all know I'm obsessed with. And when I say obsessed I mean OBSESSED, I'm one of those people who doodles all over there notes, I have at least 5 volleyballs on every page.. I'm quite good at drawing them. haha

OK back to work... maybe.

~Leash :drinker: (thats coffee today)

Today was *THE ONE*
*THE ONE* I knew was out there
*THE ONE* I knew was waiting to ambush us
*THE ONE* where the aches started at mile 2
*THE ONE* where the aches graduated to pain by mile 5
*THE ONE* where I got physically ill at mile 10
*THE ONE* where pain transcended into something else entirely by mile 15
*THE ONE* where I got physically ill again from the pain at mile 18
*THE ONE* where we threw in the towel and said WTF ~ 21 is good enough, the program only had us scheduled for 20 anyway!
*THE ONE* where I came home and got sick for a 3rd time

it was NOT the one that messed with my head
it was NOT the one that made me question running 26.2 miles
it was NOT the one that defeated me
it was NOT the one that made me want to quit
it was NOT the one that made me freak out because it was so slow (4 hours)

so, all in all, it was still a great run! :bigsmile:

and as a bonus, I figured I should get on the scale again and sure enough, down another 3 pounds from yesterday! :laugh:

I have had my recovery drink, ice bath and hot shower
DH is taking me to Outback for dinner
I figure I should be into negative calories already so time to indulge

I'll be back tomorrow to catch up on everyone else
Have a great night! :flowerforyou:

Hey all-

Just back from our walk and picnic lunch- it was beautiful here today. It was perfect, except my BF brought a beer, but not a bottle opener, and cut his knuckle open trying to open his beer on a rock :laugh: So, other than a little blood, it was great. Plus, on the way home, we stopped at the puppy store and looked at Beagles. We're getting one from a breader, but I just like to look.

Out for Hibachi tonight for a family birthday dinner (not for me). Hibachi isn't that good without soy sauce, so I'm getting sushi instead (it's healthier, too) Although, I probably will (HAVE TO) indulge in a drink or 2 (or 3) in order to survive dinner ... oh the joys of family :huh: So, def. might be over on calories today... but that's ok- it's not often that we go out.

Will probably check back in later tonight.

Becky- Yikes! Sounds dramatic.... gold star to you for sticking out the run... you're my hero! :flowerforyou:

Leash- I used to get all my grading done at Starbucks when I taught 5th grade- even spilled coffee on a few spelling tests on occasion :noway: Enjoy your coffee, and I'm sure you'll do great on your presentation.

Hey everyone, no running today, but heavy cross training with turning out 17 horses, shoveling lots of poo and teaching 2 lessons. Then to my mom's to walk back and forth to the stream carrying water as she forgot and left the hose on and ran her well out of water. 8 horses drink a lot of water, and they really can't go without, so I have been hauling water all afternoon. Just wolfed down a roast beef sandwich without even tasting it, I was so hungry. Been a long time since breakfast (9 hours to be exact.). :ohwell: Husband has been out hunting all day and will probably be hungry when he gets home, but that's too bad. :bigsmile: He'll either have to take me out or "cook" (i.e., but pizza or Chinese).

Have a great night everyone! :flowerforyou:

VballLeash

Sounds like a darn good workout tabby!

Yea I was at starbucks for 3 hours kelynn and but ended up talking to a vb parent on the phone for an hour.

I haven't been able to do anything today except work on my project, I keep changing my idea so I did a whole presentation and then realized I hated it and started over, uhh... I'm in a lot of pain today due to all the sitting, I really can't take it anymore, I was an athlete and I consider myself to have a pretty high threshold for pain but when it never goes away I just can't take it... please keep me in your prayers that they can help me this week with my injection (still scared of that word).

I'm a thread hog today.

Girls... and guys if you're interested... I uploaded 2 pics to my profile of the birthmonth hair-do. They are blurry because we were in the car and I took them on my phone but you get the idea.

Hey kids,

Just in from Richmond...Best. Race. Ever. My time goal was 2:30, which is the qualifying time for the National Marathon in March...completely smashed it, and PR'ed in the process. So excited. Official time was 2:19:23! Can't believe it. What happened to the not-all-that-fast girl?

Made no attempt to log my food today, but I'm making sure to refuel and hydrate well.

Ready to drop now, so good night!

beckym71

Kelynn~ I the hair!

Leash~ sorry to hear you're hurting so much today :frown: I know the injection will help. I believe it will help! (((hugs)))

Jess~ I'm so glad to hear that you got in a pain free run! :happy:

Julie~ yuck! What a horrible way to wake up! :noway: Great job on getting the sanity run in! Thanks for reassuring me that I am NOT the only one who can burn their face with soup! We really must be *brothers from another mother!* or *sisters from another father* :laugh:

Shuntae~ woohoo!!!!! That is so awesome:bigsmile: ! Way to go! :drinker:

Tabby~ you make me miss the days of stall cleaning and water hauling! I think you can definitely have some Sam Adams tonite!

Back from dinner ~ holy mother of God! I just logged my calories ~ over 3000!!! just from dinner and one drink! I think I may have to do all Muscle Milk tomorrow because I was way over yesterday. I don't think I'll be over too much today, if at all, but still! UGH!

Talk with you tomorrow!

Thanks! Nice to be feeling like I'm getting over the darn injury! Hope dinner was yummy! Wow, where did you eat?? It was a close call for me tonight, just 17 leftover! I've been extra hungry the last couple days!

tabbydog

Haha, I had 400 calories left over tonight, and that was AFTER the Sam Adams! My weight is up, because I was over in cals yesterday and ate lots of sodium, but that's the way weekends are, and why I like having weigh in on Friday. :bigsmile:

Kelynn, love the hair! You're smokin'! :smokin:

Jess, glad you got a good run in. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't run. :flowerforyou:

Leash, the injection WILL help. I have known tons of people who have had different joints injected (which is what the SI is) and it helps in just about every case I have known. Not EVERY time, but almost every time, so I feel good that it will help you. It won't be *pleasant* but they do give you a local anesthetic first, so it won't be too bad, just keep thinking happy thoughts of feeling better and running in your head while they're doing it. :flowerforyou:

Becky, I feel like you today, ready to fall into a coma!

Shuntae, awesome time! Good job girl!! :drinker:

VballLeash

Thanks for all the well wishes, you guys really are the best...

Tabby- I'm glad to hear that you've heard of so many success stories, some people say no don't get the injection its just stopping the problem temporarily but they don't understand the pain I'm in, I get that too but if the pain stops I can do the necessary therapy to heal whatever the eff is wrong.. so thats for the reassurance Can I have those 400 calories? haha, nice job!

Shuntae- You KILLED IT!!!!!!! Nice job girl, this is the stuff that keeps me going, seriously thanks for reminding me why I love running even though I forgot what its like haha... congrats :flowerforyou:

Becky- 3000 CALORIES!!! Well hell you earned it!... I'm sorry your run didn't go great but how many people do you know that can run 22 miles... um probably VERY few :bigsmile: Nice job!!!!

I don't appreciated how Ray checks out on weekends, so freaking rude, and wheres Tom? I think I remember him posting something vet related so I'll give him a break, come to think of it.. wheres bg, whats with the men in our club, slackers!!!! haha

Jess- As always great workouts... your also an inspiration but you know that :flowerforyou:

Kelynn- I'm about to stalk your food diary... ha!

Tryouts tomorrow... eeeekkkk

Hey everyone!

Wow you've all been busy.

First of all time to fess up - weighed in this morning and I've put on TWO POUNDS! AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH. Didn't think I was doing too badly this week. So swine it is for me! This week can you all kick my butt and 'encourage' me to go to running club on Tuesday and Thursday evening as I didn't manage it week just past and I don't really have an excuse other than being a tiny bit tired and VERY lazy! I did manage to get in 5.5miles very slowly yesterday, bit of a mental run for me as I've not been able to run past 4 since the half marathon a month ago. I'm a bit achey today, but I'm sure it will pass. Band practice this afternoon (must stay away from the tea and biscuits at break time).

Leash - So have you finished your project now? Hope you got through it ok. Can you remind me when your injection is scheduled for? I hope it helps with the pain so as you say you can do some therapy to get better.

Tabby - Wow! That sounds like a hard days work. You deserved your beer definitely!

Jess - Glad the run went well and you are pain free.

Becky - Your run sounds like quite a journey. Well done for not letting it get to you mentally. I'm sorry you were sick, hope you can figure it out so you don't have to go through that again. Don't worry about the dinner, I'm sure those muscles needed lots of food.

Shuntae - Wow! That is so speedy. WELL DONE!! Hope you've got a good rest and are not too sore today.

Kelynn - you are so pretty and your hair looks lovely. You've made me bite the bullet and book an appointment to get mine cut. I've got till the 2nd December to agonise about it!

Wendy - Happy Birthday! Hope you enjoyed your day.

Julie - Sorry about the sick kid, I hope everyone is better soon.

That reminds me, Dad is much better and will probably be back at work (he's a Headteacher) on Monday.

Whew - I think I've covered everyone. I'm sorry if I missed you, I love checking in here and seeing how everyone is doing. Here's to a swine free week next week!

Good morning :flowerforyou:

I broke another one of my weigh in rules this morning b/c I promised you guys I would weigh in this morning. Of course, I had already eaten breakfast when I remembered my promise. So, I broke the never weigh yourself after a meal rule. To my surprise, all 3 times my scale answered 171.8! That is down a little from last week.

Of course, I skipped my run this morning and am not planning to get it in today. I'm just not in the mood to head out now. Partly b/c I plan to run 4 days instead of 3 next week. That is a lot of running for me. Just knowing I have that much planned kills my motivation to head out today.

chat soon,
-Kechie.

iRun4wine

Shuntae- Way to rock it, girl :bigsmile: You rock! :drinker:

Had a little too much fun last night :drinker: I think I actually drank more calories than I ate :blushing: I NEVER do that- not a big drinker, but I guess I was just in the mood last night :laugh: Anyhow, back on track today. Doing some major cleaning and yard work before football comes on later.

Hope you all have a great day... I'll be re-hydrating

tabbydog

Got in a painful 4.7 miles this morning. Well, it was nice, a beautiful day out but painfully slow. I am not properly hydrated, and it is HOT out by November in VT standards. It is also deer season, so I had to wear something with red or organge so as not to get shot. All I had was a fleece vest (except for some wool hunting vests) so I was WAAAAAY over dressed. There was tons of traffic because of the "road hunters" and it is a bit unsettling to know that 9 out of 10 vehicles that go by the occupants are armed. I had to walk up part of a couple of big hills, and had to leap off the road to avoid being hit at one time. Sheesh. Anyway, it is done, but it wasn't pretty! I ran four days this week, and my legs were tired from yesterday. It is the first crappy run in a long time, so I won't whine. Plus, the sun was shining, and it is way to pretty out, and I was just happy to be out there!

Getting something to eat and then outside to do some gardening. Got to dig up the dahlias before they freeze and today is the perfect day to do it. Can't wait for tomorrow to go back to work so I can rest. :laugh:

Havve a great day everyone! :flowerforyou:

bgood14

well, since Leash is calling us out, i thought i should put in a post for the other half here please don't think we just leave you girls over the weekend only to return on monday. we just want you to feel like you're getting in a little "girls night out" time. that's important, right?

so, i convinced grandpa to come over and play with the kids yesterday afternoon (mommy was at work) so i could get in an easy 10K. changed up the route a little because i got tired of running head on into 20mph winds, but did get the miles logged. not an impressive week, by any means, but all part of the process of building back up.

so, big brother (sister ) does that count as a post for the weekend? (i'll be back later to make sure you're watching)

Happy Sunday!
Husband is home -- kid is well -- all is right in my world -- well, as right as it gets!
Got in 12 miles this morning -- they were unusually hard - but done! Then we packed up and went to york River State Park -- took a picnic and hiked for about 2.5 hours. Some much needed family time!

Kelynn -- you are absolutely gorgeous -- makes me want a new do!!! Oh and no worries about drinking your calories -- IT'S YOUR BIRTH MONTH!!!! Happy Birthmonth!:drinker:

Becky -- your run sounds -- well -- tough! Congrats on pushing through -- the meal sounds amazing!!!!

Tabbydog -- sorry to hear you had a bad run. You can hunt on sunday? In Va. you can't -- which is a good thing or I would NEVER see my DH!

Erika -- don't worry about the 2 pounds -- I'm sure it will leave as quickly as it arrived. We'll keep on you about running club -- tuesday right???

Leash -- hope you got your project done before you overloaded on caffeine!!!

bgood -- well well well....nice of you to show up!

Enjoy the rest of your evening!
Julie

tabbydog

Julie, In VT you can hunt Monday -Sunday for the 2 weeks (inclusive of 3 weekends) of rifle season, after is muzzleloader (1 week, 2 weekends) and prior is bow (3 weeks, 4 weekends). I haven't seen my husband since the beginning of bow season (first week of October).

Leash, you can have all of my leftover calories. 400 from yesterday and 165 from today. Funny how on the weekends I seem to lack time to eat. :bigsmile: Especially when the weather is good.

Tom, you get an A for effort. :laugh:

Happy Birthmonth Kelynn. Glad you are enjoying it. Personally, it has been a while since I have enjoyed to that extreme, but when you are in the mood, you have to go for it. ESPECIALLY in a birthmonth! :flowerforyou:

'Night all!

Back in town after a weekend on the road. No running, sort of OK on the diet, except there was this gluten-free bakery as part of this restaurant, so I had to try some of it, didn't I? It was research, really.

jessmomof3

The *boys* are checking in! :laugh: We didn't scare them away!

I've been on the go all day! Started off w/ ChaLean Extreme Burn Intervals... good quick total body workout. Church, then went to family spin w/ my dd. Although I found out that she's not old enough so she decided to go run on the track (that girl loves to run!) and I did the spin class and she came to hang out/ watch after she ran. Then went to my hubby's friends' house for our martial arts/ self defense type class. Ended up getting smashed in the nose/ face (accidentally of course, he felt AWFUL!) but I survived. Saw stars and think I might be a bit sore in the neck/ nose tomorrow!! I told him that I'd pay him back... :laugh:

Hope you all had a good one!

VballLeash

Wow I'm tired! Tryouts allllllll day. I picked my team and we are going to be kick *kitten*!! I'm super excited Sorry but I'm too tired to respond to everyone so put me in the swine club.... Have a great night all!

~Leash :drinker: :drinker:

iRun4wine

Hey all-

First off, thanks for the compliments on the new do... you girls make me blush :blushing:

Great night w/ family tonight. Didn't log because we were busy entertaining, but didn't go crazy, either. Only had 2 tacos- usually eat 9 (at least)4 :blushing:

Anyhow, busy day at work tomorrow- really, really wish it wasn't Sunday night right now :ohwell: This was my BF's 1 weekend off per month, so it's always tough to go back to work Monday knowing that we don't have a weekend off together for another month :ohwell:

Anyhow, I'm hitting the hay- didn't sleep well at all last night :yawn:

Edit: I didn't officially weigh-in this weekend until today. I weighed in after I had eaten breakfast though- and I was 159.2 - probably 158 and change before I ate, but that's alright- I'll go with 159.2 and the title of SWINE QUEEN.
