Good morning,

After a long night of both my daughters waking up every half hour, I was not able to go out for a run this morning. :yawn: :grumble: I'm going to take today off of exercising and go out tomorrow morning.
It's so freaking cold here, I'm reading to jump off a bridge!!

Hopefully you are all well rested and are able to get out and run your butts off.

Good day all!

    What is your schedule like today? It is raining AGAIN! :noway: so i guess i will have to stay inside AGAIN for my run...and start building my Ark.....

    I was a carb-o-phob too, but I feel better now that I have a clear, concise list of what good carbs are....

    I did 4.5 miles last night, so tonight I'll do a cardio dvd.

    I hate it when the weather dictates my workouts!! :explode: If there's no lightning, I'd just go out & run. I have my "Lt. Dan" moments when it comes to the weather. :laugh:

    I am a fair weather runner too, although after running that 5K in a heavy rain while it was 50 degrees and beating my own personal time, I don't know how I can make anymore excuses!!

    Oh, good for you! I'm running a 10k on Memorial Day & REALLY want to do it under 1 hour. {{crossing fingers}} The best I've run a 10k was 62 minutes. :ohwell:

    Hi all. I'm gonna try to put in some time on my treadmill this afternoon. My little one was up at 5:00 this morning (I truly can sympathize M). I really wanted to just go on and work out then, but my treadmill wakes my other daughter and it was pouring rain here, too. Oh well. Best laid plans and all that.

    Love that you guys hold me so accountable. Happy Trails everybody!:flowerforyou:

    My oldest was vomiting again and my youngest just has a really bad cough and cold. They both spent the night crying. I wanted to cry too! :sad: It's very difficult to exercise when you haven't slept.
    Unfortunately, I'm eating a hell of a lot more than I should today. This is turning out to be a cheat day. lol When I'm tired, all I want to do is eat. Not sure why.

    Life happens and I'll just get back on the wagon tomorrow. I'm not going to sweat it or feel guilty about it. I know I'll be back to myself after a good nights sleep tonight.

    I'm so happy for all of you who do get to exercise today. You gals are rocking!!

    It sucks when the kids are sick.
    My 2 girls had pink eye at the same time then a week after that, they both had the flu and then hubby got it. It was horrible!!!

    Get well, get well soon, we wish you to get well!

    I gotta switch out some song out of my mp3. I have too many sleepers on there. I LOVE Sinatra, but "Strangers in the Night" is not exactly a *kitten*-kicker when running! :embarassed:

    Good morning

    My heart goes out to everyone who has a sick little one. Hope all the kiddos get better soon.

    Today is my rest/xt(cross training) day. Since I am painting my office today, I am going to skip my weight training. Rolling on paint is a work out for me!

    Enjoy the day
    -Kechie.

    Hello all!

    Sorry to hear about the sick kids. That's hard on everyone in the family!

    In other good news, I just wanted to say that I set a pace PR today. I ran about 3.5 miles at a 9.14 mph pace. That's fast for me. :embarassed: But I'm getting faster and hope to improve it more this summer!

    Hope all goes well today!
