Don't think that I'm that inspirational and doing core work.... I meant as in "Hello" to our core group of ladies.  :-)

Carol-so is MIL jealous of attention to new bride? that would be my guess. hope she doesn't pull some stunt to regain center stage.  will be tough but new son in law should have conversation with her to clearly spell out where his priorities lie and assure that she is still in them but that he won't get sucked into playing game to show where his priorities lie....they are with wife, then mom.  then just ignore it for what it is...attention getting childish behavior.  expect it too, that's the only way to ignore it really.

off to gym to burn calories in non-impact manner.

Lisa - I meant to ask what is "chicken shot'?  Interesting take on the MIL...agree  SIL needs to have a conversation with her...before DD does  as she really wants to - to figure out what is going on...SIL told DD, it will go much better if he does it ...oye....

Judy - Glad you were able to eat a good dinner!

Karen - I don't think I ever answered on the T25 - it is a series of w/o's from Sean T (Insanity & P90X guy) they are only 25 minutes - series of intervals/cardio/upper and lower body weight training.

Will get in at least 1 mile today - so far this streak has been fun.  Think I will do my T25 upper body w/o.  My lower body is pretty trashed right now...

Carol

Good morning!

Carol, your poor daughter. It's so rude of his mom to not speak to a holiday guest, esp a new family member Where are her basic manners?  Bad behavior is often best just ignored...but would be hard for me to do. Hope SIL has success.

Marjorie, I'm glad your "mandatory fun" is over. Being introverted, I always hated it. I'm sure pups will be happy to see you!

Lisa, his arm prob feels pretty good on the drip...sure he can drive.  (grin)   That's pretty sad about your knee-a lot to go thru to get no improvement.  What is chicken shot?  Steroids?

Laura, you are so good...doing planks.   I know they're good, but I hate planks.  IF I do core,  prefer exercises that are active. : )

Demaris, I forgot to congratulate you on the latest marathon! You are racking them up.

Sue, I hope your fog cleared up.  It's foggy here today.

Judy, I'm glad you're better.

I'm not sure what to do about my hip/groin. It's not bad enough to go to a doc for it.  It's just weird intermittent pains when I change positions at times - catches me by surprise.   Running doesn't hurt, but it doesn't seem to like hills...worse the day after them.  I ran in place on  a padded rug yesterday and may do that again.

And here I was thinking that when you said "hello core" you either went to an abs class that kicked your core muscles or you were finishing eating an apple.

Carol, not sure what your daughter's new MIL is thinking, but I hope her DH is realistic about his mother's behaviour. It sounds as if SIL will be a valuable ally.

"Chicken shot"? I know what Jello shots are. I don't think I've ever heard of a chicken shot. Chicken POX shot, maybe, but we're all past that I hope.

Lisa, think you are right, another MRI may be necessary. I'm sorry this recovery has been so long for you. And yes please tell D he is NOT to drive until the doctor clears him to do so, even though the school isn't that far. I'm sure some of the other parents would give DD rides home if they know the circumstances.

Laura, a snow day already? Wow. You are more conscientious than I am about planks.

Judy, hope they can get the car fixed for good. Glad you are back running!

Camille, good to see you. If the hip/groin issues continue you may want to see a doctor. How old are your shoes? That would be my first thought.

Marjorie, the pups will be so happy to see you!

Susan, good for you with the 6 miles.

4.6 this morning with RN. It is cold -- 36 at the McDonald's thermometer where we turn around -- and I was wearing a LS cotton shirt and a light jacket over it and got hot by the end. Better than shivering.

That gray cat is hanging around again. If she has an owner, I wish they would keep her inside. And put a collar on her.

Will be taking DH to radiation, then coming back and staining the legs of the table that I attached on Tuesday. Oh, and working, which I have started already.

Happy runs!

Hi everyone,

Still not posting or running.  My back is much better, but now I am afraid to do anything for fear it will start up again.  It has really been painful, I feel like an old woman!  I just need to bite the bullet and give it a try.

Lisa....I didn't realize you were having trouble with the knee again.  What happened?

Judy...sorry you were under the weather.  I see you are back at it again, that's good.

Camille...the tour went well.  They said the turnout wasn't very good this year, but I had 178 come through on Sunday and 130 on Monday.  Enough for me!  No, I don't think I will do it again.  Just a lot of work trying to keep the house so neat and the dogs and all.  I have to say though, our dogs were perfect both nights.  Beau got up a couple of times to greet some people, but for the most part they stayed on the ottoman by me and just ate up the adoration that they received!  Everyone loved the dogs!

Well I think I am going to do the 5K on Saturday instead of the 10K, still apprehensive, but I can always stop if I can't do it.  Weather is supposed to turn nasty tonight though, rain than ice than snow...lovely

called "chicken shot" since it's a gel made from the substance found in the combs of roosters.

do I sound desperate?

this is the original point of pain that has eased off but is now back to sharp pointy pain.
