Great threadstarter! Just what I needed today! Thank you. Laura, thanks for the treadmill tips. It'll be interesting. Ivevwalked on it before, but running will be a big change. Ouch on all the bills! Seems it always happens that way--everything at once. :-( I decided on a rest day today. I want to give my legs extra rest…

42 and I don't take any pain meds, esp not for anything related to running or working out. Occasionally if I have a headache that relaxing doesn't help, I take Depon (Tylenol). Sometimes if I push too hard, too long, in too much heat I get one of those headaches so I guess that's sort of running related but it's very rare,…

Hey again. I read back and saw Laura's post from yesterday. No, massage is not an option, but I do massage my calves sometimes, as needed. I've been giving it some thought. Things were great in the HR training and I need to get back to that, although I can pretty much tell now where I am on the HR scale without the…

Hey! Gym today: back muscle groups. Also had to do some errands today so that was it. But I'm tired and will likely be sore tomorrow! ;). Have a great weekend

Maureen, hope it goes great for your son! Marla, hard to believe it's time already! Good luck! I'm sure you'll get plenty of exercise. ;-) val, I really hope you get some permanent relief soon. Hope you're right that it was just coincidence. Enjoy your evening. Today was a problem. No school or tutor and threatening skies…

Hey there! another late and exhausted check-in from me. The good news is that there's no school tomorrow, yay! We're gonna skip the tutor too, but hopefully I'll have time for the gym anyway. Today I woke up sore from the gym. Somehow sore both front and back even though last workout was front only (?!?!?). So, since the…

Maureen, we're having iffy weather too, but it's about to become quite certain, with storms through the weekend. :( hope you get your run. Marla, enjoy your special Nia hour. Hope your head is better. I went to the gym for a front workout and the weather got stormy looking but I still got a very short run done afterwards.…

A little Tuesday humor ^ After not getting my workout yesterday, I ate way too much. Now that's two days in a row, so I'd better reel myself in. Will check back in later.

Hi all! Another weird day for me. Went out in running/gym clothes, looking quite sporty. After I dropped the kids at lessons, I realized I forgot something and ended up going downtown to my husbands office and meeting a business associate I've wanted to meet for a long time. I looked pretty out of place in my neon color…

Looks like life is having fun with some of us and our "plans". Hope everyone can find a way to laugh along with the Universe's little jokes it plays on us when we make "plans". Lol. I had one of those days. Planned (lol) to take kids to the beach park. Son didn't want. Decided on the National Gardens park downtown. Kids…

Probably going to have to tend to other areas that get neglected when I'm working out regularly. Will have to see if there's any time left over. Balance is so hard. Will check back later. Have a good one!

1. Check! 2. Check! 3. A. Check! 3. B. Fail still. :-( 4. Check! 5. Not exactly, but juice consumption is not breaking me any longer. 6. Idk. The weight is just not coming off. My calories have been good. Hoping for whoosh...again.

Hi again, from the laptop. Y'all might get a book, because I'm a great typist on a real keyboard (vs. iPad). haha! Maureen, thanks for all the threadstarters. It's good to plan rest days. I usually just wait and see. I know when I'm really "dreadin'" that it's time for a rest day, but I should probably plan rest days…

App problems still. Lots of sticking and crashing. Gonna get on laptop later for proper check in. Meanwhile, just to say, I did 5mi run and think I have a plan to help with my recent calf problems. Back later

Hi all! Technical difficulties here, logging from phone qhich is hard. Decided on rest day today except for walking. Very hot and humid here. :(

Crazy day today. iPad giving me trouble. Anyway ran to beach and back, about 5+ miles. Better check in tomorrow.

Oh val, I'm so sorry! I hope you all get straightened out very soon. Definitely pick rest over housework when you're sick. The trainer meetings sound like a nice change-up. Today we got rain right as I was walking the kids to the tutor. So I had to change plans from running to gym, but by the time I got the bus to the gym,…

1. Check! 2. Mostly check. Had Chinese takeout Friday when I also didn't workout, but it was a decent eating week. 3. A. Did well with running. 3. B. Total fail, just didn't have the energy & can't get into the routine of it. :( 4. Did well with the gym. 5. Not entirely, but juice intake is much much lower. 6. Hopeful! I…

Laura, hope your travel and work is going well. Maureen, hope your busy day is a good one and clean bills of health all around. Marla, I wish I knew where it all comes from! "Stuff" fairies! Lol. Have a nice dinner out. Today I bus/walk to the gym, did posterior workout and ran back a little over 5k. Things are still crazy…

Glad you had fun Marla. Living out of boxes can make it hard to see outside the box, right? Lol Maureen my husband said they got a dumping of rain in the DC area. He liked it because we don't get rain in Greece this time of year. Well DH is back. We are all ready to get back to normal for a little while. Today I cut the…

Shamefully lazy rest day today! Haha. Had Chinese food last night and might've overdone it, but every once in awhile shouldn't be too bad. Mainly just pacing the floor for DH. He leaves later and will arrive back home tomorrow. Marla, try to have some fun and "let your hair down". Life's supposed to be fun. :)

My eyes are shutting and in case I fall asleep and the kids run the house for the rest of the night, thought I'd check in: rest day, did grocery shopping with kids and hauled our shopping cart around the neighborhood and up the stairs home which was kind of a workout, lol. Anyway zzzzzzzz

Val, sorry about the terrible dental experience. :-( Gonna be quick bc bedtime for kiddos. I decided rest day today. Anything else would've been more negative than positive. Didn't take kids to tutor, just straight home. All I've done is feed my starving 4yo every 10min today (?!?!), laundry, some housework and…

Hay! I am so tired I can't see straight. It's finally catching up to me and I am d.o.n.e. Will have to catch up reading later, but checking in...did gym and 4miles today, running split by the gym workout. Was pooped. Come on Friday!!

Love the cat stories! Cats! Don't get me started, lol!

I agree with the heat being the culprit. We had a mini Spring heat wave last week and I could barely push out 3mi! I don't think there's anything you can do. For the first time in my life I was considering running on a treadmill...or getting some of those not-so-modest shorts. Thank God our normal weather returned over the…

I love today's threadstarter because I'm also a boredom eater. Food is also my top means of procrastinating something I don't want to do. Hey April, we know you're still out there plugging away. :-) Today I ran to gym and did posterior workout and then ran back and added in an extra half mile. I had time to do more and…

Another great threadstarter that makes me go, "ahhhhh". Laura, yesterday we cross posted (I type slow on the iPad). I hope you are feeling better. Maureen, hope you get a run in. Val, your husband sounds like mine, gets me bent out of shape, passes his bad mood to me, and then tries to sweeten me up without ever resolving…

Val you and I had similar days yesterday. After dealing with them all day, taking them to hike around and have ice cream, I treated myself to a nap and the kids "got" that I was a little sad about Mother's Day and drew me a card with pictures. My dad had talked to them on the phone and told them to take me to dinner, but…

Took kids for a walk around the hill and forests behind our house today.
