I soooooo want to remodel my kitchen (currently turquoise tile and whitewashed oak...need I say more? Dead

) but the thought of being kitchenless for an extended period of time scares me. Maybe in the summer and plan to do everything on the grill. I could put the microwave in another room too. Either way I figure I'll gain 20 lbs during the process.

Sounds challenging, Ennay! At our old house, we decided to redo our only bathroom, because when you sat on the toilet, your knees hit the wall! We were without it for awhile. Fortunately, there was a Dunkin' Donuts down the street that was open 24 hours a day, so we would use the bathroom there. Our first son came two weeks early, and I remember DH scrambling to finish the project after taking me to the hospital! My mom was catching the first available flight, and he wanted the bathroom done for her. Good times! Clowning around

Haven't checked in for a while. Last week was about 31 miles -- first week in ages where I actually gained on the bunny instead of falling behind. Should have another 30+ week this week. A sense of urgency has crept in now that I have a big 10k race in 4 weeks. It's like I'm cramming for a test all over again! I did a calculation and figured I'll hit 2000km by the end of the year if I can average 26.6mpw the rest of the way this year. Do-able barring injury. The catch-up value for 1500 (33.9) is a little more out of reach.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

You can do it, Jeff! We engineers have to kick the bunny's butt! So you're not Globule now? I'm so confused...

I'm always Globule, but I've decided in nickname only.

I am just always right behind the little guy. Think I'll stick to the 1000 mile group as I am kicking his little furry tail. This group is definitely my challenge this year

Run like you are on fire! 5K goal 24:00 or less (PR 24:34) 10K goal 50:00 or less (PR 52:45) HM goal 1:55:00 or less (PR 2:03:02) Marathon Goal...Less than my PR (PR 4:33:23)

I'm still fighting to stay on the 1st page! 6 at the gym tonight. I missed my overall goal of 100 miles a month this month but I'm kinda proud that I still ran 71 miles in April even though I took 2 weeks off. I'm hoping to catch the bunny by the end of May.

Did a 10 K race today. Hey Ennay-I see you did a 10k too in almost the same time-way to go! I missed a PR by a few seconds but this was a much tougher course so I felt pretty good about it.

31.4 miles for me this week. This week I will lighten up, since I have a 5k race on Sunday I would like to do well in. Great job on the 10k races, guys!

Ran 16 today. I had promised a friend I would try to run as much of the 16 with her as I could, wasnt sure how my legs would be after the 10K yesterday. She ended up getting sick at 13 miles and we started walking back to my house where she was parked (at that point we were only about 1/2 mile from my house) and I decided to finish the 16. Feel pretty good.
