'Sup yo.
Rest day for me and it has been nice not waking up at WTF o 'thirty the past three days to run. That will change tomorrow of course but I will be ready to get back at it by then.
In other news, I should have my expense report for last year's taxes done and will know shortly thereafter if I owe or if them foo's owe me.
Up until now all big purchases have been on hold because you just never know how bad making a few extra strips of bacon will screw you up.
So then, what do you have going on for the start of the second week in February?
Good morning, all.
Rick, thank you for starting today's thread. Have a pleasant rest day.
School is scheduled to start late, at 10:00. It's very possible that it'll be closed. That would be nice. I'm on my way to the gym to use the TM. If school is closed, I'll do weights while I'm already there, instead of returning in the evening.
Happy effing Monday.
8 on the treadmill.

Seven weeks until I'll be able to run outside. *sob*
SRD. Which I guess is a misnomer, because I don't go by a schedule.
Taxes, ah yes. I am almost done getting things together for the CPA. Sooo close. Then we had a virus scare, and DH decided he needed to update my operating system. Which is fighting back. So, I'll get tax prep done .. sometime soon. Hopefully.

Forced RD (switching days). I have to give a class at NOVA law school tonight and I didn't sleep all weekend so chose to sleep.

Good morning, Happy Monday, and a hearty LOL to you all! Another week, another snowstorm. Although, this one isn't terrible as these things go. I do see more treadmill runs this week though. I've got 50 minutes of easy running to do today, and doing it on roads freshly covered in snow during rush hour ain't gonna happen, son.

5K for me on Saturday and then 4.1 miles at Lackland Air Force base on Sunday, followed by a 50-minute weight training circuit. It was cloudy when I ran, but the sun came out with a vengeance later that day, getting up to nearly 80 degrees.
Rest day for me today. Going to be in the 70s again today in San Antonio and very sunny. Right now at 7 a.m. it is nearly 60 degrees.
Happy Monday! February 9th is:
I have a short work week this week. I am off tomorrow, for my birthday (427 in dog years!) and then off on Friday and next Monday - Gail and I are taking a long weekend for our 30th anniversary and her birthday on the 15th. Also, on the 13th I have my annual 'birthday month' physical. Probably a good thing, cuz I need to get my feet checked - or something checked - cuz my feet around the toes have been tingling and cold a bit for about a week now - kinda like when part of you goes to sleep and then you get that 'tingling' as it comes awake again. Doesn't happen when I'm walking around our running, just when I'm at 'still life', very weird. Don't know if it is nerve related, diabetes-related (my mom had 'age-onset' diabetes in her late 60s), or what. Well, whatever it is, one thing I've learned over the years from having a 3-volume medical record, lol, is there is no sense in me crying about it.....I play the cards life deals me and I'll just do the best I can. Whatever this ends up to be, I'll deal with it and keep getting on with my life.

Are we there, yet?

So far so good for me at work today, which is nothing short of a miracle!
DaveP MI, bravo on the eight TM miles.
Little Blue, try to enjoy your SRD.
Phil, have a fun easy run.
Damaris, good luck teaching.
scottydawg, great job on the races.
Half Crazy K 2.0, have an awesome lifting session.
Zelanie, have an excellent eight-miler.
cjones1, fantastic four.
I did forty-five minutes on the TM. I'm up to three comfortable minutes of running before having to slow down for a minute to clear my nose and throat. I did five of those and felt wonderful. Tomorrow, I'll go for five-minute spurts. I also did weights for my upper body, calves, and shins.
What's amazing is that the pace at which I'm comfortably doing my intervals is my MP. I might actually do a sub-2:00 HM this May. Yay.
A friend invited me for late-morning tea. The place was within walking distance of the gym, so, I took a break to chill. I'll return in about an hour to do weights for the rest of my lower body and forty-five minutes on the AMT.
5 miles this AM...since I was off Friday it now feels like I lost two days at work and am now catching up - wtf....anyway, have a great day everyone!
