I just realized I never did tallies last week. AND I thought I started a new thread late Sunday. Musta been the vodka tonics. Have a great week!

Ahhh Vodka will do that to you At least one of us had a great party Tallies are not important. We all know how much we ran/didn't run. Just a big thank you for keeping us going.
Mon .... 8.8K easy + painting walls ---> DONE
Tue ..... 10.1K easy + working in the back garden ---> DONE
Wed ... 12.85K easy + UB + painting door frames ---> Did the running. Door frames are done. Continued in the back garden.
Thu ..... 7K easy + LB + painting yesterday's dore frames again ---> painting is done, including the ones I'm supposed to do tomorrow. Thinking of repainting the doors as well. Things always snow ball when I'm doing this kind of stuff. Does that happen to you guys too? Anyways, also filled up the screw holes in my new french doors so I can paint them on the weekend. And I still haven't decided on the colour of the stairs. The walls are a light creamy colour. The sides of the stairs are creamy white. But how about the steps. They need some colour otherwise it'll look really bland. I'm thinking about a shade of taupe. Difficult to choose cause it has to go with the multicoloured floor tiles. Also sanded the doors and side windows early evening (before bed), dusted everything down and taped walls, windows and floor off with masking tape. I didn't run, but I'm tired!
Fri ...... 8.8K easy + UB + painting more door frames + sanding and priming french doors ---> Cleaned then painted the whole french door thing with primer. Couldn't go out for a run, cause the doors had to stay open and well, I'm not inviting any burglars by leaving, am I?
Sat .... 5K easy + painting yesterday's door frames again + 1st coat of paint for french doors ---> Learnt my lesson, so today I first went out for a very nice 8.8K easy run. Slightly longer then planned cause I wanted to make up a little for yesterday's missed run. Then (!) I painted the french doors, got the groceries and went to a nursery to buy some plants. .
Sun ... 3 hour long run + whatever I feel up to doing / want to be doing ---> 3:09:23 (25.24 kilometers) long run. Felt surprisingly "easy".
Total mileage: 65.8 kilometers. Not bad at all.

T - Ran 4
W- Went to beach (same as Monday. He's banned from the beach until Bayside is back)
T-20 min slideboarding (supposed to be done last night, but 2.5 yr old son uncooperative about falling asleep) 3 mi running barefoot on the sand. (Thanks to my sis and BIL who babysat while here on vaca)
F- 2.75 mi tm run, 25 min. yoga, 25 min strength/stretch (whoa, I got it all in)
S- 4 mi run
S - 30 min strength/stretch, 6.25 mi running

GOALS 2012: UNDECIDED
GOALS 2011: LIVE!!!
Thanks, Leslie. I was traveling and didn't finish posting my stuff for last week, but the after effects of the bike somersault are still keeping me from running.
Monday - up at 3:30 a.m. to fly to Chicago; all day in a conference; walked around Navy Pier in the evening
Tuesday - conference all day; walked a little at lunch; walked to Grant Park and back to Navy Pier area in the evening
Wednesday - rented a bike and took a leisurely ride along Lake Michigan - about 12 miles altogether, I think; tromped around Michigan Avenue in the afternoon; flew home in the evening
Thursday - errands and appointments in PA; hip still hurting too much to try running; almost 2 weeks of no running
Friday - back to NJ; kayaked 1-1/2 hours; walked from town to the boardwalk and back twice - still not up to running yet
Saturday - plan: kayak/run/walk in some combination; actual - joined the gym on the island for a month; swam for about 45 minutes at a quite leisurely pace; kayaked 1-1/2 hours
Sunday - plan: ditto Saturday; actual - ditto on the swimming, no kayaking
Really, really, really want to try to run tomorrow.

Well, some of us have a slight recollection . . . .
oh yeah. I was supposed to remember something. now, what was it??
hee. this reminds me of a bugs bunny episode. ..the one where the wolf's wife tells him to go shoot something for dinner and he keeps forgetting what he's after..."now, what was I chasing, an orangutan, a Mongoose, a hippopotamus,..no, no, no, wasn't a hippopotamus"...and Bugs says, "was it a Rabbit?"
ok, this week. there's no reason to rush into these things.
similar to Nono, a cut back week.
Actual
9.26 miles, 10:02 pace. yard work, & later reverse planks, assorted bridges, a few other things to combat lazy glutes.
totals... 24.7 miles running, 14 min. biking, 12 min. stooopid ellipticalling, 2 1/2 hrs. strength training.
thanks Leslie!
Dutchie, I love your week! did you pick a color for the stairs?
