    No running. Just another bootcamp class. Well in between our torture, I mean core exercises, we had to do sprints. Now my knee hurts!

    Good morning,

    Pouring rain here (again).
    I plan on getting on the elliptical or doing a DVD later after my daughter's doctor appointment. We find out today if her adenoids (not Altoids, thanks Tricia lol) are enlarged.


    Wish us luck!

    Good morning :flowerforyou:

    I ran 3 miles this morning in my new shorts. The same new shorts I am debating throwing in the trash after one wear. They weren't perfectly comfortable. I looked akward running and tugging at my inseam every 10 minutes!:grumble:

    Enjoy your walks, rests, and runs today.

    Take care of you knee Sherry!

    Glad you're enjoying the torture...um - plyometrics JD!

    I am going to come right back after I figure out my totals. I kicked serious Butt today and to start my morning I had a wonderful thing happen!!!:happy:
    When I did my pre run stretching and I bent over to touch my toes, I totally did it easily! :tongue:

    Mireille - good luck w/your daughters "altoids". :laugh:

    OK, I figured it out. I started with a quearter mile walk to warm up. Then I rean to the one mile mark (including the 1st quarter mile) and walked for about 5 houses then I ran the last 3.5 Miles without stopping!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :happy: :happy: :laugh: :laugh:
    I did all of that in 55 minutes!!!
    And before that I was touching my toes easily. This is a great Day!!!
    I hope you all have as wonderful day as I started mine out at and it isn't even 7AM yet!

    Kechiemc... Are those the shorts that look like a skirt? I have some of those but can't fit into them right now. Got them 40 pounds ago (thinner).

    Got in about 5.5 miles today. It was a great run. I have my race next week, so I'm starting to cut back a little before the big race!!!:bigsmile:

    Great job on your run today!

    Nah. They are pretty short shorts to me. Probably 5 inch inseam... :embarassed: Another reason I felt uncomfortable. I usually wear the girls basketball shorts that come all the way down to my knees. I have hips so I find the skorts make me look wider in that area.:grumble: I wish I had the courage to wear a skort though b/c they look so much cooler (temp wise) than shorts.

    I overheard one of the women telling her husband that I looked "incredible".:blushing: I felt sorry for her husband b/c in my house "she's cute. isn't she?" is my way of saying "stop staring at her!":laugh:

    Good Morning.
    Did 3.38 miles today. It was a bit cooler and windy so that was nice. I felt this run a bit though... it has been a week since I ran last. I need to develop more of a routine and not just run on my days off from work. Will try better this coming week. Now I am off to do yard work!

    We were just having a discussion yesterday with the girls at bootcamp about running in skorts. Apparently, according to running world (I think), it is the current trend. Running for me isn't pretty so I don't want to do it in a skirt.:laugh:

    OOPS! I just posted this in the MFP Fitness Challenge section, it was meant for this group:

    I'm going to run on the treadmill after work today, it's just too hot and humid here to do it outside. I have discovered the drawback to joining the gym at the local community college-- the smell! Oh my word!! See it is in the basement of an older auditorium and it doesn't have air conditioning-- just three strategically placed industrial-type fans.

    The stink in there after the football team works out is indescribable! Makes that whole argument about proper breathing technique fly right out the window. I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't puke.

    Maybe since it's Friday the team will have worked out during the day and the funk will have dissipated.

    I need that little bit of material for thigh separation. Running's painful enough without the inner-thigh rash. :noway:

    Hey everyone!! Happy Friday!!!

    Mireille - good luck with the 'altoids' today - let us know the outcome!!

    Skorts - not ready yet for the tennis look - but I am keeping an open mind!

    Rest day today - 6 miles tomorrow am in the gross heat and humidity - Shannon, I am so jealous of your temps!!

    Great runs everyone!!! Did we ever get an answer on who is running races this weekend? so far we have two for next weekend - Angie (99k!)and Emily (5K)....anyone else...I think Ann said she was running in one too, think it was this weekend.

    Shannon - decide on new shoes yet?

    Hi,

    Looks like my little girl will be needing surgery. :frown: The doctor said that her adenoids were significantly enlarged and that her sinus were also infected. So, we got her on antibiotics to clear the infection and he's referring us to a specialist.
    I guess I'll get more answers when we see the specialist.

    I'm sure it will be okay but ...she's my baby!

    So tonsils & adenoids will be removed??

    My friend's daughter just had that done, she was feeling fine after a couple days.

    So far just adenoids. My family doctor seemed not to know much about it so I guess I'll have to wait and get more details.

    It WILL be okay! It is worse on you than her!! I have been through SIX surgeries with my son - they never get easier but kids are amazing healers!!!!! AMAZING!! Adnoids is an easy day surgery.
    Hugs and Prayers for her and you!!

    My nephew had his out about 8 months ago. I'll ask my sister for the inside scoop.

    Thanks ladies!!
    At the end of the day, I'll do anything to help her breath easier. She sounds like a panting dog.
    It will also be nice to have her wake up in a good mood and well rested.
    Now, maybe my adenoids are enlarged too cuz I haven't slept in 5 years!!! lol

    HI all,
    Air still bad here so I ran on the treadmill 20 minutes walked 15. Tomorrow the running group goes out early and we plan to run 4 miles. I will do as much running as I can. I can go a long time (for me) if I keep a really slow pace. I think I'll work on distance before speed? What do you all think? If I run too fast I just run out of breath and have to walk anyway!

    Mirielle - my husband has sleep apnea and enlarged adnoids. He is on a sleep apnea machine which helps him alot. Prior to that he was a big time snorer and felt lousy during the day! Hang in there! It sounds like the treatment will really improve her quality of life!

    Definitely go for distance then speed. i just read a great article on this...you need to build up your base mileage staying in your target heart rate and then once you are at a good point., start working on speed. There are great articles for beginners on runnersworld.com...
