RR: Did an 8 mile progression run this morning!  Yesterday was an easy 3. I'm feeling rested (at least my legs are) and ready for week 11 of marathon training! I think I have 39 miles on tap for this week, one of which is the big 18 miler!

NRR: Had a nice weekend visiting with friends and family in PA and the wedding was really nice. Big D and I felt old because we left at 11 right when all of our friends finally hit the dance floor but we were exhausted. Also, it was sooo cold up north! I am totally acclimated to living in the south and couldn't wait to get home. Anyway, back to the grind. I have to take my car to the shop this morning because it needs brakes. However, Big D's car is currently not working  so I'm hoping they will be able to finish it by the end of the day.

Morning Sassy! Glad you enjoyed the wedding, No worries about leaving early' I would have done the same thing!

RR: easy 8 this morning

NRR: bough my first ever car! A Mazda Tribute SUV. I am so excited. No time to pick it up from the dealership today, but I will do it tomorrow. Gas for it will be a bit expensive, since it's not great gas mileage, but I am not planning to drive it too, too much. I will mainly take the bus or my bicycle around town, and use the car mainly to visit DBF in Chicago and do little side trips on the weekend, so hope I won't spend too much money.

Have a great day everyone!

RR - SRD, but I'm doing Pilates and getting on the reformer for the first time in years. Hooray!

NRR - Sooooo, DH got home yesterday and told me the executive team at his company decided they want to send him to get his executive MBA. We feel it's an opportunity he can't pass up even though it will mean more time away from me and B over the 20 months or so of the program. So we are starting the process of looking at programs and figuring out the best fit for him and our family. One top executive MBA program, though, is Kenan-Flagler at UNC which isn't that far away and would be manageable. It's big news for our family, though a bit stressful to think about since he already travels so much. The 30s are definitely a difficult stage trying to balance career trajectory with small children.

Hope to be back later for personals!

Good morning, ladies!

RR: I didn't go to yoga last night.  I needed a break from physical activity after my weekend

Running 8 in a bit, and ST later. That's probably it until Saturday, unless I can get in some ST on this work trip.

NRR: Slept in again because I'm off work today. Getting cooler here, finally. I'm ready for fall. Working down in Utah the rest of the week.

Sassy -Nice job on the progression run! I hear you on needing to rest the legs. ..my quads were sore after the weekend.

PO - You are clearly feeling confident in your training to bump up your distances.  That's awesome!

Taylor - Congrats on the car! Is it brand new or new to you?

RLTW - I hope your tv gets fixed.

Leela -Tough decisions but it sounds like you all will be better set up in the future?

MA- Sorry about the night of bad sleep. Is it a growth spurt?

Good Morning Girls.

Happy Tuesday. Second to last Tuesday in this office. I’m feeling very melancholic and down today. I helped build this company from the bottom up. I made my boss rich. And he’s such a coward that didn’t even have the damn nerves to do this in person. My ego is severely bruised. Screw him.

TriR: Running 8 miles tonight. It seems a lot of us are running 8 today.

NtriR: trying to figure out what my next step is. I already got a physical, a mammo, blood work, etc I have to take advantage now that I still have insurance. I need to do some updates on Linkedin and start sharing/spreading news that I am available for work as of October 1^st.

Sassy, Great job on your progression run. I wish I had your cooler temps.

Po, What Oly are you doing? Good luck getting your grade back.

Taylor, yay for a new car!!!!

Leela, that’s very exciting about DH and executive MBA!!!

Ma, I hope little C can nap some today!

OWR, Enjoy your trip in UT.

Morning girls!

RR. 5.5 miles this morning including 1 mi w/u, 2x800, 4x400, 2x800, 1 mi c/d plus recovery jogging in between intervals. Pretty hard workout, especially since my goal was to do the last set of 800s faster then the first set!

NRR. Lots to do today at home- business related computer work! Plus need to go to the bank and run some other errands. Oh, L got stung by a bee on our hike yesterday! His whole eye swelled up, so sad! It's all better today, but he looked like he got in a boxing match yesterday, poor baby!

Sassy - Ugh..is that for your car or D's?  Sorry to hear that.. Cars are annoying like that.
