Good Morning Everyone,
Dave: Good luck with your PandaEndurance.com website and your blog.
Lisa: I am one of those people who dont get enough sleep. Before I had kids I got 9 hours a night plus an occasional nap. Now on the 3 days I work I manage about 6 hours and the days I dont Im getting around 7-8. I feel like Im always tired. I have no problem falling asleep, but if I wake up in the middle of the night (or more likely am woken up by one of the kids) sometimes I just cant get back to sleep. Last night (this morning actually) I woke up at 3, tried for an hour to get back to sleep then finally got up and folded laundry, cleaned the house and started my day. Since I ran 18 miles yesterday I really should have been tired enough to sleep. Ill occasionally take Tylenol PM if I want to get an entire nights sleep, but it makes me so groggy the next day its not really worth it. Happy bday to DS and DH. It must have been such a weird day for you giving birth on 9/11. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and it made me terrified to be bringing a baby into the kind of world that people flew planes into buildings.
Amy: Sorry you missed your pilates. Your co-irker sounds as if he has some body image issues. You should probably agree with him and tell him he does look a bit flabby in the mid-section. Good job with your 31 minutes.
Debra: Congratulations I think, on your new job. Sounds like you are earning your pay. I hope it goes smoother soon. Its good that youve kept up with the running. Sounds as if you can use a stress reliever.
Howard: Good job on getting your LR in.
Mike: Great run on a hilly course. Im still so envious of your naps.
Kira: Hope youve gotten back to your running schedule. Its good to see your new ticker, only 3+ months, itll be here before you know it.
Tracey, Maria, Jeff, Jeanne, Beth, Vic and everyone else Ive missed: Hello, hope things are going well.
My LR yesterday was 18 miles. It was an incredible run. The running gods must have known I needed a good one, so now Im once more hooked on this running thing. I didnt get out of the house until noon, but the weather was only mid 70s with a nice breeze. I started out and the first ½ mile I noticed every little hurt. My knee hurt, my sock was rubbing, my back ached. I told myself that it was going to be a miserable run if I only thought about all that, so I started thinking about all the races Id like to do in the next couple years. The miles started to fly by. I was planning to do 3 loops around my house so that I could refill my water bottle each time by. I thought the first loop was around 7, but turned out to be 9.75 mi. That was actually great because it meant that I was already half way thru by the end of the first loop. I ran low on water, so stopped at a friends house to use their outside faucet. I feel like I kept on top of hydration and I made a point of having gels every 4 miles and pretzels and sports beans through out. I ended up with 18.1 miles in just under 3 hours. My legs were a bit sore when I finished, but I felt really good. I had time for a 10 minute cold soak before a quick shower than out to meet my DSs bus. No nap for me.
Have a great day everyone.
Cindy
