Before I go running (after work) I like to make sure I have a protein bar about an hour before. If I don't have any, I have a banana before I go out. I eat supper when I get home. I've had supper within an hour of going out running and regretted it. I was only doing a 5K run at the time, but I got cramps for eating before…

Just to let you know the race went great! I had a good breakfast and then a candy bar about an hour before (OK not the best choice but I forgot my protein bar!) My goal had been 35min, as I had been averaging 37-38 minutes leading into it with my training (after not running all winter). I did it in 29:53!!!

I've been running for a year now. My running days right now are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Simply because I have no time to run any of the other days. Fridays open up in another three weeks and I was thinking of adding that day in a running day as well. Lately I have been changing my route up when I go out.…

Things haven't been going well at work lately. I am starting to look for a new job as I can't stay there much longer. I didn't here back about the government job. The way things have been going at work is starting to effect me in other ways. I have no motivation to get anything done at any time at home. I also can't sleep.…

Hm. Realized I typed that wrong for my time. It was actually 29:53. He's here. (well not literally right now) We went to church together and then out to eat. It was nice to talk. He's picking me up at 9 tomorrow to spend some time together.

I didn't meet my goal....I passed my goal!!!! When I got to the finish line and could see the clock my jaw nearly hit the ground and I had a burst of energy, I did it in 29:43!!!! A new personal best!!!! I can't believe it!!!!!! Pictures soon. I need to get them off my phone.

Shirely - Outch!! Hope it heels quickly I did it!!! I set a goal of doing my race in 35 minutes, but haven't been coming close. Tonight I did it!! Hill and lights included that slowed me down! So excited!! It was such a perfect night for my last run before race day as well. Saturday is going to be sunny and a high of 19…

Bah. Didn't get my run in tonight. :( I wore one pair of my new shoes to work today. My shoes rubbed on the backs of my heels. Putting socks on rubs against them and they ache, I didn't want to try putting sneakers on and running. That means I only have ONE more chance to run before my race on Saturday. oh well. Coming off…

Run is next week. :smile: I've got one more week. Which is good. I got the washer and dryer so late today that I didn't get my laundry done in time. All my running clothes were in the wash. I need more!!! Had a lovely day today. At church we had our annual ladies spring banquet. We did a picnic type of banquet this year…

I will bring you some of the left over veggies from the ladies banquet at my church today. Sorry we ate all the fruit.

Jenny - No he won't. My race is Saturday, and he's coming Sunday night. Shirley - He's so cute!! Less then 10 days to race day! Yikes! I need to get out tonight. I ran Monday and had a great (slow) run. Tuesday something didn't feel right about it and I didn't. Wednesday's I have no time. Tonight I need to go! Beautifully…

Shirley - I saw it. I don't like it and won't be signing up for the "premium". The site is fine as it is. Miz - Training someone is always hard! You know how to do it, but to explain it to someone is so completely different! He's coming down to see me! We have a long weekend in two weeks (the same weekend as my race) and…

What a perfectly beautiful day!! It got up to 18 today! (64.5) I walked to church today in a short sleeved dress and NO jacket! It felt wonderful! It's supposed to be like this all week. I think spring has officially (and finally) arrived. It's perfect running weather all week. Which is good since my race is NEXT WEEK!…

What a beautiful spring day today! It's so nice to finally have nice weather. I got a short run in this morning and a brisk walk. (plus lots of walking while doing my errands since I walk everywhere for them) Next week the temperatures are supposed to get into the high teens! (That's into the 60s for those who use…

Love all these!!! I don't have co-workers stories to share as I don't HAVE co-workers. Of my two boses, one I've never seen actually eat (though I am sure he does) and the other eats a lot of pizza, thai food and McDonalds.

I'm not 100% sure of my blood type (I know I should know) but I certainly hope I am not Type B. I love chicken! (Provided I believed in eating this way that is)

I have to agree on this! I got a breakfast sandwich there once. All I could taste was salt. I never got the breakfast sandwich again.

Both Wendy's and Tim Hortons have all their nutritional information on their websites. I've gone on their sites to look up the nutritional info many times for Tim Hortons (I always seem to be within walking distance of one from my work. My bus stop where I get off is right by one. This morning the bus door opened right in…

I don't see the need to fast. We all have bad days/weeks when we are over. Just watch what you are having and move on. I know yesterday I was way over my calorie goal as I couldn't stop eating when I got home from work and the stuff falling from the sky (it wasn't rain) prevented me from going running. I'm regretting it…

Jenny - I didn't miss the bus, it was just bad bus timing and my connecting buses didn't line up. I won't have to worry about walking far in heels very much anymore. My boss asked me not to wear them as they ruin his natural hard wood floors. One issue - I have ONE pair of flats!! All my shoes are heels! I guess I need to…

We exchanged phone numbers. *blushes*. He also wanted my address to write me. He doesn't have a computer so it's hard for him to email or message over Facebook. I've been trying to get out running. It's hard to get back into the habit. I was lazy yesterday and didn't go. Saturday when I went out I did attempt my first…

In only my second run of the season (it was 3/4 running and 1/4 walking and slower then my normal space), I attacked my first hill and was about 3/4 of the way up it before I just couldn't push myself anymore.

Interview went well. It will be 4-6 weeks before I hear anything. For being interviewed and asked questions by three different people, I was surprisingly not nervous at all! I could tell there was a lot of people praying for me. Now it's just wait and see what happens. Even if I don't get, I am thankful for the experience.…

What an awesome weekend!!! I was up at the camp my church supports for the single's adult retreat. We were supposed to have it back in February, but it got postponed due to a blizzard. (With the winter we have had that wasn't a surprise!) It was such a good time. There was 23 people there, 14 guys and 9 ladies. It was a…

One of the jobs I applied for back in February was a government job. I applied knowing I would probably never hear from them. I heard from then today!!!! I have an interview on Tuesday for a government position!! So excited and nervous all in one!!!

Cadbury Cream Eggs.

Jenny - I fully understand how you feel. The night before I had to give up Reid, I hugged him tight and cried into his fur. It broke my heart to give him away but I knew I had to. Perhaps you can find him a new home close to you and you can maintain visitation rights. :smile: Ok I knew this snow has to be more then I have…

I can help you eat some of that. Especially the ones with the Cadbury Creme Eggs. oh the Smarties as well. I would say the only thing keeping me from buying Easter candy is the price, but well, I caved today. Paid more for one Cadbury Creme Egg then I normally would. However, I wish Easter was later then what it was! My…

Feels like I haven't been on here in a while and posted. I've been reading, I just haven't been posting. Mostly because I've been reading from my phone and don't want to type on my keypad on my phone to post on here. Work is going well. Traffic is back to busy again since spring break is over and the kids are back in…

And its raining!! There's been a lot of work getting the catch basins cleared but with the huge amount of snow we have, there is still going to be flooded streets. (Already saw on reported on Twitter) Just hopefully no ones basements! (like me since I have a basement apartment. They say they have never flooded, so…
