Blustery Day..

It is very nasty down here yesterday, today. The weather is just not good. Pouring down rain, lightening, winds up to 60mph,{yes 60} and very small hail. We are still under a tornado warning. So no training outside yesterday or today.I have to go to the gym.:(

The arm is better some what.I can type a bit better today,I go see the doctor tomorrow about this.It feels like a vise grip was being tightening down on my wrist and fingers.Today a dull ache.Weird. E worries that I may have caused some damage to it,since I have a high threshold to pain.Just like my knee.I tore the tissue in the knee and still waking on it,and nothing for pain.The doc was mad I was walking on it,and had nothing for pain. So I don't do much.Well I try not too.It does hurt to brush my hair.{it's really long}



Did you all get to see this picture??
This is Mike F. aka cp1999. He is out running in the weather in NY, was only able to put in a little over a mile, before he had to stop. To me that is inspiration,and dedication. You are awesome Mike!!!!

Team Voice news:
We found some orange shirts. I am not sure if I am going to like this one. E has friends in Miami that own a shop and we are going to talk to them about shirts. They also can put the logo on the shirts. If they can get us the shirts and the logo on them,They will be noted on the shirt. I have some other things I have to work out with the shirts before I put them out there.I am not sure if We are going to put them in Cafe press. I will find out,depends on the shop. Besides the shirt for running, what other type would everyone wear?? Input please. I know a lot of you read, and not say a word ,please let me know. :) As soon as the test shirt is done I will post a picture.

I am going,it is raining so hard I can not see my car in the driveway.

One Handed..

I was suppose to work today, but I didn't go in.I have A new issue with the body. Since last Monday I have been having pain in my right fore arm.It's not everyday,It was bothering me yesterday and this morning. I can hold a cup but I can not pick up paper,or hold a other things. I can't wear an ace wrap on my hand at work without permission. So I am going to the Doc's later in the week.I am hoping the pain goes away again so I can type!! One handed stinks!

I didn't train on Saturday after work.Work was so bad I was at the point I just wanted to leave.:( I will not work on that floor again!!!!!!{Hi Boss}

Since I was so stressed at work I had some chocolate covered pretzels, and chocolate peanuts. My close friend M had yelled at me about that saying I was blowing my points!! Well I added up the points and I had only for the day and the stress eating , 30 points.

JB I made the 0 point soup.2 thumbs up.It's awesome. We made it in a slow cooker and made enough to plan out the meals for the week and work.We eat a lot of fresh veggies, and raw ones. I just don't put it down when I blog,since it is 0 points but I will add it in so you can see the full menu. :) FJ is not running in the half.He hasn't been running since the Tot 13k. Small person has been running.Will not in the half, yes in the 5k. FJ has discovered girls. Need I say anymore.

Jog 3!!!

Some sad news today here in S florida.A runner was hit by a car and died.The driver left the scene.And another one was attacked on UM running the loop. This is why I won't go out alone.

Work was a bear today. :(
I will post my meals for today on Sunday, I did real well.I have to make this short.
No training yesterday, I just ran out of time.

Tonight after work, we went out and did the 3.5 miles. I started out speed walking and went 6 houses and I went in to a slow jog and just kept going. I did a steady 2 miles before i had to slow down to speed walk.I did the 2 miles in 27.54 minutes, walked a 1/2 mile and went back into the jog. I had to slow down again but I did it in 53: 42 minutes. I was jogging!!!! I really was jogging.Last year this time, I couldn't do that at all. :)

I can't believe it!!!
I will add you Kate.:)
Yes please look at the Grand Gatherings link I listed on yesterdays post and Maybe we all can get together and do that after the Half next year. All of us.I think there is 3 to choose from. I think that would be cool. I think it would be cool to do in October JB{hint}

OK I have to get to bed and get to work in the Am. I will try to say hi tomorrow!!!

2009 1/2 M Or Bust....

It is really warm here. 85-87 today. I had to close the windows and turn the air back on.
Yesterday evening E and I put in 3.5 miles in the early evening since we were unable to make it to a trail. The humidity it creeping back in and I had a real hard time controling my breathing in the beginning of it. I worked real hard to regain control,I had to slow down a bit but I did it. We did it in 53:55:62.That is going by E's watch. The Garimn has us a minute faster. So which one is right??

Big news..... We are registered for the 2009 Half Marathon in Disney.



I didn't purchase the chips. This is huge. It ask for time from a half or 10k race or higher.We did the TOT 13k and the time in there will put us in the 3rd wave. So I put down an estimated time of 3:00 hours. That is my goal. Mgreene all pushing you can give I will welcome it. Good ,bad ,ugly,I need it to guide me to get that time.

And if you do not register before the end of the month the fee is going up!!!

Mike Called me out yesterday. :)

I am just trying to give the incentive to get everyone in a 5k by next month.It does not have to be chipped.

And by next month you should be entering into your first 5k.{hint} Try to enter in one that is a chip race.
Jeff has added his Donald Duck and friends to help you get a visual.

Also a great big Welcome to Matt.He started a blog. Go over and say hi,and support another one of our Team Voice members. http://anotherdisney.blogspot.com/ I made a deal with Mat that I would go back to posting my meals,with points to help him stay on track if he would post his meals and points.

I worked on a different for yesterday and they had my favorite candies there.And they were trying really hard to get me to eat them. I would say no thanking I am on weight watchers and I am training for a half M.And then I would point out that that one piece would cost me 3 points. :)
And the day before we had a bridal shower for a fellow employee and the junk food was everywhere!!!! I did so well, I had nothing!!!!!!! I had to explain why again and now,everyone I work with on my floor is watching me like a hawk!!!! {laughing}
I have to say we had prepared all our meals when we shopping and it has helped a lot. The meats we seasoned,or marinated then put them in the freezer.Today we will be prepping what we take to work for the week. We make 2 point brownies. :) Thumbs up to Biggest Looser.That is where we got that idea. :)

Train for the last 2 days none.The gym closes early on the weekends and My left knee has been inflamed.I haven't had any of that for a while, now I do.I feel good today so maybe we will go here later,and get out there and walk.I will up date later.
