OK, so here we go...I have to catch up tomorrow with everyone...

Help me stay honest, I think Tina is the only one that has checked in. And, she gets a 1 pound deduction for being the first:)

Must go...drinking with Tina and Fred...

Kathi said...

if i'm feeling up to it, i'll weigh tomorrow; i didn't last week at all; i think i have a fever on top of everything else, but i took two tylenol about 5 minutes ago

Noboyz said...

Kathi said...

OMG; SPADES...I haven't heard of or played since klassic kids...holy shit

GIRLS RULE AND BOYS DROOL!!!! WTG ladies...i'm just drunk on cold medicine stuff; Did I say I hate colds? WELL, I HATE COLDS

Stephanie said...

Wow, cards. Leigh Ann, you will have to teach me how to play spades when you get back. If you will remember, I don't know how to play anything, except Farkle, and of course we haven't played that since you all left...I got a cool Farkle towel after the run yesterday! Glad you all had some fun last night, and glad the girls won! Tina and Fred, I wish we could have couples drinks...

Kathi, dang it, I am sorry you are sick. Mostly everyone I talk to is sick here, with everything blooming. I hope you can get some rest.

Stephanie said...

Leigh Ann, for the ticker, I ran only 12 miles last week. It won't be much of anything from here to the goal date. I have read you should take 3-4 weeks to recover after a half marathon, and just be nice to yourself. I think I will do Pilates only this week and maybe walk a bit. Here's to REST!

It's also time to start shaving off all of those extra carbs I have been consuming, to compensate for the decrease in activity, lest they land permanently on my ass! :)

Kathi said...

Thanks, Steph; I was actually just "drunk" on my cough medicine; but at 2:00 this morning I couldn't take it anymore..called a cab to take me to Arco (mini mart/gas station, which by the way, gas is $3.85/gal...GASP) and got some Nyquil and Clariton, so I'm feeling a bit better; I'll probably have a sinus infection in a few days; but I'm on top of it..already emailed my doc and asked to get on antibiotics before it hits...OH; why do you need to recover so long after a 1/2 marathon? Is that cuz you have so much lactic(sp) acid in your muscles? I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about, so clue me in

LA, I'm down 2.4 I believe.

Leigh Ann said...

Way to go, Kathi on the weight loss! I hope you feel better soon.

Stephanie, yes, rest up!

Leigh Ann said...

I am up about a half of a pound...could be worse.

And yes, the girls rule!!!

Stephanie said...

Kathi, I am not sure why they recommend the 2-3 weeks, but they say a full month to 6 weeks, for a full marathon recovery, before you try to start running to train again. It is not good on your immune system; extended amounts of hard physical activity can actually be counterproductive and bring your immunity down...but yes, I am sure the musculoskeletal system needs recovery time, too. I am sore to the bone today...

Stephanie said...

I meant to add that I am sure the bones in my legs are sore partially from running on cobblestone in Nashville...anybody every try that? Fun stuff! Having a treadmill is definitely a luxury.

Leigh Ann said...

No doubt...I can't imagine running on that.

Anonymous said...

Ok... its morning... i have a headache and im gonna lay in bed all day. haha. Have a great SUNDAY everyone! Its gonna be a hot one here!! :o)
Tina

Kathi said...

IT'S ALREADY FRICKIN HOT AND IT'S NOT EVEN 10:00am YET

Shit, I can barely WALK on cobblestone, much less run on it

Leigh Ann said...

LOL...Tina!

Yes, it's going to be hot!!!

Kathi said...

LA, I'm sure I would've shown a little less weight, had I not fallen off the roof a couple days ago...so I'll check back when I'm done; I hate having a cold on top of falling off the roof; I just want to pull my hair out

Leigh Ann said...

Ugh...I know. I am falling off the roof myself, thankfully no cold, though.

Stephanie said...

I made the Sunday paper, albeit, I am a tiny speck on the list, but I am there nevertheless! I will cherish my medal. I thought it was funny...even the Kenyan who won the marathon said he could not finish at his goal time because the course was so hilly...still, he finished the marathon almost an hour before I finished the half! Pitiful!

Kathi said...

Oh, you did fine, Steph; darn those Kenyans...they always win marathons

Well, I do have a fever..it's only 101.7, but it's there; I just downed two tylenol; no wonder I feel like I got hit by a truck

Anonymous said...

I'm down half a pound. Can I count that?

Anonymous said...

Yes...Rima...every oz counts LOL WTG!

Leighann...I'm down 1 pound

Steph...take care of your body now and rest...the marthon ...WOW! :D

Tina...you cracked me up!!!!!!!!!!!

Marci...loved to hear about the family :) thanks for sharing!!!

Kathi...take care of you!!! glad the family was there for you!!

I'm wiped out!! Steve, my bro and I worked outside in the yard for 5 hours in this HEAT OMG!! We stayed hydrated...well I did anyway LOL...Leighann..do you mind dropping some ice cubes in your pool for me LOL...

Leighann....HUGS ...and HUGS and more HUGS...I know you have a full plate right now :( Let me know if there is something I can do...it seems the last 2 mons I had something going on pretty much everyday but now...things are thinning out and I am here if you need me to help out with anything, OK

Leigh Ann said...

Yes, Rima - WTG with the weight loss!

Brenda,
Thanks:)

Anonymous said...

Brenda you guys are crazy! What are you thinking being outside in this heat?

Stephanie said...

How bad was the heat, exactly?

Stephanie said...

Oh yes, Leigh Ann. How much longer do you have with your classes? I know it's coming up, but I am not sure on the dates.

Noboyz said...

Thanks Brenda!
I want to see some pics of your yard... I heard it is absolutely beautiful! :) please share.
Kathi, hopefully you are feeling better.
Steph, I posted on the last pages.. way to go! Congrats on that accomplishment.. :)
LA, let me know if you need me to do anything here... before you come.... can't wait to see all of ya'll... I know the girls are having a rough time... but hopefully they will adjust fast.
Hi Rima, Tina... Crystal... who else am I forgetting....

Cooking supper.... and yes, drinking a few little beers.... :)

Marci

Kathi said...

I'm feeling a little better, Marci; I don't so much feel like I've been hit by a truck now; my fever's down, that's probably why; drinking LOTS of fluids too; haven't had much of an appetite though

Noboyz said...

Kathi, keep drinking the fluids so you don't dehydrate....
I saw crystal's blog... it's absolutely wonderful! THe whole family together....
:)

won't hear from Leigh Ann and Brenda... they will be sloshed... LOL
me too..... not happy sloshing though... family issues.... :(

Marci

Leigh Ann said...

Rima,
We saw you at the pool - at the end of the heat wave. Brenda was very surprised to know that you lived by us.

Marci,
Brenda said she needs to do more yard work before pics:)
And, will be flying down for crawfish.

Kathi,
We are glad you feel better.

Stephanie,
The van said 104 degrees...but, no humidity.

Enjoy the picture:D

Leigh Ann said...

Oh yea,
Tina, are you still on the couch and BTY Paul has already started taking pics for the guys blog.

Brenda said to save May 11th...

Kathi said...

I am watching an awesome program on PBS, or I was; sounds like it's over...but it's called "Carrier"; and it's about life onboard the USS Nimitz; it's really cool; oh no; the second hour is starting; I think it's gonna be on until the first part of May.
