Surgery

So, Joe is having knee surgery next week. Our running schedule did him in apparently. :( he tore his meniscus and has some bone grinding thing of sorts that they have to go in and repair the tissue. They say there is a chance he can do a half in January, but definitely not the full. So, keep your fingers crossed. We'll be going no matter what. If anything, I'll run the half with the rest of you. I won't have anyone to train with for the full, so there is no way in heck I will get motivated enough to do those retarded long runs.
Hope ya'll are ok, and aren't slacking!

Lazy me...

Season's change....sunrise change...and now my morning run's are gone. :( So, now I'm lazy lazy lazy. I'm going to have to come up with a new schedule in order to get these runs in. I hate running in the dark.
pppbbbfffff

Cross-training and tea

Yesterday was awesome - we slept in after going to bed early (lots of sleep!) then hopped on the bikes to go house-hunting (for Will) and ended up in the saddle for 2 hours!! Granted, we weren't moving at blazing fast speeds, and we stopped every so often to check out a property, but it felt good to be moving for so long! It was great weather and my body was already sore from my run plus weight training the day before, but I really enjoyed it! Plus, it was good to know that we weren't further killing the planet by riding around in a car all day. :-) Yay Us!

Last point - at dinner yesterday Teresa mentioned that she quit drinking sodas in favor of green tea, and Ashlee said that her friend did the same thing...so that's all the reason I need to ditch my daily dose of Diet Pepsi in favor of green tea! Ha! Today will be Day 1 of the Tea Initiative. We'll see how long until I fall off the wagon!

Guilty As Charged

You're absolutely right, I HAVE NOT been running!! I am terrible. However, this week I really pushed myself to get back on track - today I ran 4 miles! Yay! It took a whopping 51 minutes, but whatever. I re-discovered the workout room in my neighborhood, and was happy to find that nobody uses it on Saturday afternoons. It was fun to run and watch all the kids play in the pool. If only Ashlee would bug me to run more often! You guys are letting me off too easy.

Guilty!

Jamie Lynn Ferguson, where are you? If you aren't bloggin', you clearly aren't runnin'!
