GENERATING RESULTS 6

soup78 · September 2008

Okay, so I was reading gameset's entry on Tuesday to my SO (cuz I was laughing at the burning building part :laugh: )---

"I must say, i was not real keen on signing up for an event thing- but maybe that is waht i need- i am not a biker or a runner- (i woulkd not even run from a burning building) but what's to say i can't walk a race??"

and not a second later on comes a commercial for an annual marathon! :noway: Seriously, no joke! :laugh: We just looked at each other and said, "Guess we're doing a marathon!" :laugh: Notice I said WE, Yep, that's right- SUCKER!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: He's cool with it.....I'm just trying to find a walk/run marathon somewhere around 2-3 months from now....and then the moving situation comes up.....Where should we plan on being? Without TMI, the house we're currently renting just went up for sale. Our landlord told us it'd be on the market, but we never got a date as to when. Woke up Monday morning to see a For Sale sign in the front yard :huh: :noway: I won't get legal on you guys, but I know he won't be infringing upon our rights or privacy any time soon. Not to mention, my SO's career does have us moving anyway, there's just too many variables as to where we might be. We just thought since our 1 year lease was up last month and he agreed to go month-to-month, we wouldn't have to worry. That was dumb. :ohwell:

Back to fitness......so do you guys want to start training? I've never done anything like this, so i will need your support.:bigsmile:

Hey guys! Sorry I've been missing, but I have been without electricity since Sunday at 3 p.m. We had 75 mph wind gusts and we lost power and it has just come on again!

:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
:bigsmile: HOORAY!:bigsmile:
:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I haven't been exercising... and it's been difficult to eat well, but I've tried very hard! I have a ton of laundry and cleaning to catch up on. I probably won't check in again until the weekend!

I hope all of you are doing well!

Very weird:huh: ...I had posted earlier about training to run a Half Marathon. Well, I picked-up the mail, and I have a mailing from www.treamtraining.org! It seems to be a charity program that benefits The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. From what I understand, you can train for half marathon, marathon or triathalon while raising charitable funds. According to their flier, they are at leas 3 events scheduled in the Bay Area early 2009. I am going to attend the infomational meeting in San Jose on October 15th. (soonest listed) I am still going to train begining October as planned.

Soup: My gosh! Your situation sounds intense...I can see how you must be under unbelievable amounts of stress! Hang in there! And about the Marathon...ohhh that is so erie! I was on the Runner's World website this afternoon, and I found a guide for begininers http://www.runnersworld.com/channel/0,7119,s6-380-0-0-0,00.html?cm_re=HP-_-Homepage Channel-_-Channel.

I'm checking on walk/run marathons and the training to go with it. I've gotten the fliers in the mail from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society before I moved here. I'll have to check out their website. Oh, I checked runner's world and there's actually one in my small, po-dunk town - but it's a 5k run race the beginning of October.....bummer, too soon for me! :ohwell: Still looking though!

Well, my SO's parents are coming to visit for the weekend. They'll be here tonight til Sunday.....I love them, so much fun! SO and his dad are gonna play golf (I really want to go too, but I'll let them bond, I guess!) on Sat. morn while me and my future mother-in-law go get massages! :bigsmile: Fair trade, right?!:huh: :bigsmile: Even though we're having company, doesn't mean I will stray. Because of the massage, no alcohol today or Sat. Which also means I'll be drinking waaaay more water than my normal gallon(seriously, i drink tons of water). Well, gonna get started on a mini-cleaning spree now!

Happy Friday! :drinker: <

that's my water!

15 ten year olds???? You need to pamper yourself after that!

My goal this week is to get back on track... With the power outage last week, I didn't log my food, nor did I exercise much at all...

This week's goals...
Exercise 5x .... walking, dvds, pilates, or stationary bike
Log meals daily
Keep meals healthy... too much eating out last week since I couldn't cook at home
Drink water, water, and more water
