Thursday helps me prepare for the weekend because Friday is already too busy this week.

Post.

Good morning!  I lost a note again yesterday when I hit that mysterious key near the enter key that deletes everything.

I've done 30min 2x this week and am going to walk/run the half in Chickamauga this weekend. A runner from home is coming to do it as part of her 50th state quest and is hoping to win masters I think.  I just hope I finish the half by the time she finishes the full. : )  It's the 150th year of the Battle of Chattanooga and with Veteran's Day, there are special events, so it's a great year to be there.

Carol, good luck with the wedding stress. My son-in-law's mom caused a lot of stress up until the day before the wedding, partly because the venue wasn't in their town. It was dreadful the evening they arrived.  I suspect her husband had a talk with her because she changed overnight and was great the day before the wedding and at the wedding.  Maybe someone will do that for the MOG in your dau's. I'll bet it will be wonderful anyway.

Judy, I have stick arms, too. Just wish some of my belly fat would move to them. I use 5 lb weights, but only 2x/wk.

Marjorie, good luck with the hip.  I sure hope it cooperates.

Demaris and Gatsby, did I congratulate you?  Gatsby, I loved the pic of you and husband.

Karen, congrats to you, too. Amazing that you did that so soon after your speedy race. I'd say Hanson's worked for you.

Ginny, what a compliment for you to be asked to be in the tour!  You must do a great job every year. No one would think of asking me to do that-the decorating gene passed me by.  I'm sure it's a bit stressful but am guessing it'll be beautiful.

Lisa, along the line of decorating, as I'm trying to clean house for company, I've thought of you. One of my favorite quotes ever on this board is from you...something like...when you don't have time to clean, it's time to lower your standards.  : )  That's a philosophy I can buy into. : ) I have too much clutter.

Cindy, I hope the boys keep cooperating while hubby is gone.

Hi Laura, you're always a machine when it comes to working out.

Congrats, Tessa on pacing MM!

Gotta go clean the bathrooms...ugh.

Oh my gosh, worked with the trainer this morning at 6:30...he made me do things with my legs that shouldn't be!  They still feel like jello.  I feel pain coming tomorrow!  Still enjoy working with him.  Planning on running tomorrow.  I stil have a 10K and a Half to run in December, so I can't keep being a slacker.

Thank you Camille, I guess I do an okay job on the decorating and we have an older home, and they do like the older homes to be on the tour.  Ours was built in 1903.  It will be nice to have all my decorating done by the 1st of December, it just seems so odd to be decorating so early in November.

Judyruns...as usual , you never miss a workout.

Ginny

Hi ladies-

I'm reposting this from last night, in case folks missed it:

I'm sure some of you remember Kate, who used to post with us on RWOL. I just saw on FB that her dad passed away unexpectedly this morning. I thought you might want to keep her and her family in your thoughts.

I'm back from an easy 6 miles. I felt pretty good, considering how hard I ran yesterday. And the shins felt ok. Off now to take DS2 to the doctor for his annual checkup. BBL for personals.
