Friday I did 45 minutes cardio DVD since I had the beef broth crock pot soup to do. It takes several hours just to get the ingredients together. I let it cook during the night.

Saturday was SDO but I walked about a mile.

Sunday was 50 minutes  on the trail with Sunday Buddy. Then I walked a mile.

Today will be a track run and cardio DVD.

Happy runs, All! :::HUGS:::

Hi Ladies

Judy - Hi there, great weekend for you!

Carol - Congrats to your DD, how exciting!

Well, no run for me yesterday or this morning.  I plan on going after work, my Fusion class schedule has changed so no class on Mondays.  Brought my stuff to work and will shoot for 4-5 miles.

The reason I didn't run on Sunday was because my nearly 14 year old son broke his wrist the last 2 minutes of his soccer game and had to have surgery.  What an awful experience.  I was working the concession stand, which has a view of the game but I didn't see it happen.  In fact, I realized it was him rolling on the ground because of his bright green shoes but the games stops fairly frequently for 'hurt' players; I actually thought he'd gotten kicked in the groin or something.  Well, after my friend who's an RN went sprinting on the field, I knew it was serious.  I ran out and took one look at his arm .  Poor kid was so brave, braver than me who nearly passed out in the car.  My ex was there and was able to transport to the hospital.   The surgery was Sunday morning and it went really well, they ended up putting a pin in (initially thought he'd need a plate) and his growth plate is okay.  He came home yesterday afternoon.   All things considered, I am so thankful he was playing at home and we were both there.  Sometimes, when they play an away game, the coach takes them and we play in some really rural areas.  I realize how well liked my son is based on the kids that have checked on him, he's kind of quiet and doesn't socialize a whole lot outside of school, but so many of his friends called me, stopped by the hospital or friended me on FB to see how he's doing.   He should be back in school Wednesday.

With all that excitement, I barely remembered that....I got a new job!!!!  The manager and I played phone tag all day on Friday and we finally connected at 6pm that night.  Am turning in my resignation letter today, though I have to put in 4 weeks notice in order to get my cash out of PTO time.

Well, better scoot, gotta get my younger kids to school, they're with me and DS is at his Dad's, figured he could use some extra quiet time.

Morning!  Sorry for being MIA but much happened this weekend.  First, Hershey was sedated at the vet and died but was revived.  He is apparently very sensitive to the medication and I am glad the doctor found him blue instead of completely dead.  Since then, he is doing well and is back home.  Between the slight cold and Hershey's illness, my LR was affected and I only did 14 of my 22.  I felt exhausted from a sleepless night on Sunday so the LR was a bust.

I have 8 miles tonight and although I still feel a tad tired, I am not sure if it's just a case of the Mondays.

judyruns, nice workouts all weekend.  Enjoy the track and the DVD.

Carol, congrats to DD!  Congrats on the race.

LC Runs, sorry about your kid's surgery.  Hoping his wrist is better and that he is in less pain.  Ouch.  Congrats on the job!

Karen, that is scary!  Hope everything is OK.

Sue, shaking after weights is good!

Have a great day!

Dang ladies, there is A LOT going on around here!

Laura, congrats on the new job!!! And your poor son - I saw the pics on facebook and I don't know how you kept it together for that. The x-ray looked like it must have been so painful for him.

Carol, congrats to your DD!

Damaris, poor kitty! I'm glad they found Hershey in time and were able to save him. What an awful thing to go through. I'm glad he (and you) are doing better.

Marjorie, shaking my head at twin. And very sorry you have to deal with it.

Susan, nice job with the weights. We will definitely check on the bike, but I think racing negates a lot of warranty stuff. Amazingly, none of the components were damaged. They are worth more than the frame, so at least there's that. Apparently after they drove all the bikes and injured riders back to the start/finish, someone tried to steal DH's bike (for the parts, obviously, not the frame)! Guy said he thought it was his (right, it was the only Guru there). And it had stickers with DH's name on it! DH didn't feel like sticking around for the cops, so just told the guy "I should punch you in the throat right now" and walked off. Slowly. He doesn't have the scrawny build of most cyclists, so even injured, he could probably beat the crap out of them at least...but I'm very glad he just walked away.

Judy, hmm, I might have to make soup for dinner.

Interview for me today downtown at noon. Then as soon as I get home have to take DH to his appointment at urgent care for x-rays and such. He's still almost passing out sometimes when he stands up, so I told him he had to go to the doctor. Well-needed SRD from running here.

Karen--yes, if DH is still lightheaded he needs to be seen.  What a scumbag!!!!  Trying to steal DH's bike!!!  I would still pursue the frame warranty, but yes, the components are the $$$ parts.  Good luck with the interview!!

Damaris--glad the kitty made it.  My cat, Sam, has blown through a couple of his 9 lives too....  Still stressful..

Good morning ladies-

I got out for 5.5 miles this morning. I feel like I am finally beginning to regain some of my fitness after my slack summer. I wrote out my training plan for my December half, so it's time to get serious! My weight has crept up to 1/2 pound above my "acceptable" range, so I need to get that in control as well.

Karen - I'm glad your DH is getting himself checked out. I couldn't believe it, looking at that bike frame! Glad he wasn't seriously injured.

Lisa - I hope PT helps you see some improvement. I know it has to be SO frustrating that it's taking so long.

Laura - so sorry about your son's arm. The x-rays on FB look really painful. My DS2 has had 5 surgeries, so I know how nerve-racking it can be. Hope he recovers quickly.

Camille - I can't believe it's time for you to head back this way! Where did the summer go?

Judy - I love my crock pot! It is a life saver on the nights the boys have activities. I try not to resort to fast food too often.

Tessa - my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. I'm sorry things are so, so difficult.

Carol - congrats to your DD! Nice that you like her fiance. 

Crazysue - nice job on the tri over the weekend - especially with so many snafus beforehand!

Damaris - glad the vet was able to revive the kitty. 

Ginny - way to stick it out yesterday even when you didn't feel well. Hope you feel better as the day goes on; DH has been fighting a cold and felt pretty punk over the weekend.

Off to shower and run to the store. Tomorrow is DH's birthday and I don't even have a card for him, much less a gift. I am a bad wife! Have a good day-

Interview went really well. She told me she was planning on bringing people back for second interviews after their fall meeting in two weeks, but is thinking about doing it next week instead. Either way, she wants me to come back. We got along really well and I think I would enjoy working there. It went longer than anticipated though, so DH had to drive himself to the doctor. Depending on what they say, I may have to go pick him up later.

I don't know why, but I am now exhausted! I need to get to the grocery store but may try to squeeze in a quick nap first.

Cindy, glad you're starting to feel back to normal.

Marjorie, geez. Twin and dad need to grow up and act like adults!
