beskirted & manicured
RR - 10 miles or so with Sam and RP in the snow. We got a few inches last night. Time to break out the screw shoes, but they are the kind with the big heel drop, my old Adidas, that I haven't worn since...last winter.
TR - suddenly wanted to wash his sheep last night, we went downstairs to the washer and put a load in, then he was upset that he didn't get the sheep back dry and clean in 30 seconds.
FR - no idea for lunch, Swiss Chalet for dinner.

zorbs - I LOVE the tights!
5k - 21:32 FM - 3:27:40
RR - Just did 6 miles with the 10 miler training team. Worked in 7 repeats of 1 min. at 5k pace with 1 min. easy. Great workout! We'll probably do something else active as a family this afternoon like go for a hike or long run or something.
NRR - It'll be a nice Saturday around the house. Gotta pick up and spend some family time. We'll get the tree up sometime this weekend!
FR - We'll figure it out as we go along. Weekend's are freeform!
TR - B woke in a happy mood this morning. DH took her to the gym daycare so I've got a few quite minutes at home since I beat them home!

Quick post for me but bbl for personals.
RR - 12 miles
BR - Took a 2+ hour nap this am...just now waking up and I need to finish cleaning so I am glad he is up.
NRR - Doing the taste test at Gerber and then grocery shopping. Hoping he cooperates
FR - Forgot to plug-in the crockpot yesterday so our dinner was ruined...slick move! Ugh. Will try the soup again tomorrow once I grocery shop. No clue about tonight but I do know that wine is in order!
rg - B loved containers of things too. He likes to put things in and take stuff out.
shelby - I hope your race went well.
leela - I always have ideas about what I want to do over the weekend and end up bumming around and accomplishing nothing.
sara - I could never do time trials well, without race day magic, I always run slowly.
lee - perhaps it is time to explain to Jandro that fail is below 50%?
jen - had the food gone bad sitting all day without cooking?
~~~~~~~~
ugggh, DH is off to the office again while B and I nap, and he'll want a nap when he comes home, which means I have to take care of B by myself again. Then DH will be annoyed that we're not quiet enough.
Had a fantastic 10 miler this morning- felt awesome, and the sun came out halfway through the run.
leela- nice job on the training run! i wish i had a group to run with. i enjoy my solo long runs, but it would be nice to have the company from time to time! nice that you got some quiet time at home too! enjoy your weekend with the family.
Banshee- nope, same screen name as on RWOL. I'm Heather in "real life" if that helps Nice job on your run today, hope you're feeling better soon. That's cute about your older DD helping out so much. I hope they can get your grades straightened out soon. That is so frustrating!
leelee- hope you have a great 8 miler! glad that J is feeling better. it's so hard when they are sick. hope you guys have a great weekend.
jen- nice job on the run today! when's your next race? I'm thinking about a spring marathon, and a bunch of shorter races along the way...i really want to race ALOT in 2013. i've missed it. hope the taste test goes well- is it all kid/toddler food?
R is still napping...probably be up soon, then we have a bunch of errands to run- Target, Old Navy..
Back from my run - Gorgeous fall day. Went sleeveless with capris. Could have worn a skirt but never really got hot. I was slow, probably because I didn't eat anything yesterday but I enjoyed the run.
zorbs - I don't think the kid has gotten a single word wrong on a spelling test this year. Good thing he doesn't take after me. LOL on the sheep. Maybe he won't asked to have it washed for a while now.
RG - have fun getting the tree! That is one of my favorite activities! We get it from the local HS baseball team now so pick up is next Saturday. We still get to pick it as long as we are early.I have the same problem posting from my phone. It bugs me. You would think they would optimize sites like this for mobile devices these days.
Shelby - GREAT job on the race!! And congrats to your DH.
Leela - aren't quiet moments golden? Especially on the weekend?
Banshee - does Gem have any incentive for her chores? I was thinking of doing it with DS for a small allowance. I was thinking $2 per week of which half he has to put into savings. Maybe I'll start when he turns 7 which is next month.
Jen - total bummer on the crock pot! Totally something I would have done. Did you get that feeling when you walked into the house and didn't smell anything cooking?
leelee - Poor Jandro. Just tell him how proud you are of him and that you think he did very well! I don't give Gem anything for her chores. She saves all of the money she gets anyway. We pay for all of her wants and needs so long as she agrees that all the money from birthdays, Christmas, etc goes to her savings. She has a few hundred put away already not counting her savings bonds. I basically just explained that she's a big girl now and mommy needs help and she needs to learn to do these things so she can be a good grown up someday. She ate that right up!
Jen - That sounds like something I would do with the crockpot.
Patty - I did it on the treadmill and set it to my just slower than my current 5k PR (24:27) pace and then worked faster from there. I finished in 25 minutes flat. Ended up with 6 miles in 59:15 once I added in my 2 mile warm up and .9 mile cooldown.
Heather - Sorry I didn't recognize you! I don't post much anyway so that's probably why. I want to get back in the habit to keep me motivated over the winter!
Follow up for me: Got yesterday's workout done this morning. My scheduled 10 miles for today will happen tomorrow. My mom is going to watch the girls while I run two 5 mile loops around the lake in the park. I wanted to run trail but with all the hunters in the woods it just wouldn't be safe. DH ran a 5k this morning in 21:46 and got 2nd in his age group. I know he's really getting frustrated with not improving. His PR is low-21's and he just can't break into the 20's. I try to give him training tips but he just doesn't listen. He runs every run on the treadmill and at breakneck speed. I asked him to do Monday and Wednesday slower and outdoors, Tuesday and Thursday faster, with Friday off and then a weekend long run whichever day he can get it in. He just won't quit signing up for races though. He is doing another 5k AND a 10k tomorrow. I know if he would give his body a break and train with a purpose for 4-6 weeks he could easily get into the 20's or even 19's. GRRRRRR!
zorbs - Boo to DH being at the office today...does he have to work or is he just going in to get caught up/ahead? DH sometimes goes in when he doesn't have to just to get caught up. Hope the weather is better for his commute today. Hope your dinner out is great! Yes, I am sure the food was bad from sitting out not cooking for 10 hours...DH threw it all away before I got home...he felt bad. I partly blame him because I told him to stir it an hour after I left the house...he did...and still didn't realize it wasn't on...duh!
rg - Nice mileage...not sure how you fit it in...I am so greatful on the few weeks that I can get 40 miles...which is not very often. I am not training for anything right now either. Just trying to keep mileage in the 30-40mpw range. Have a great weekend and fun at the festival.
shelby - How did the race go?
leela - Yay for B being in a good mood and a few quiet moments alone at home. Enjoy the weekend.
Banshee - Sorry about DH's time for the 5K...hopefully he can figure out what he needs to improve on his own. Why men don't listen to us is beyond me. I almost didn't know who you were by your SN until I read your post...lol...I am easily confused
leelee - Nice job on the 8 miles. Poor DS on thinking 2 wrong is failing. At least he has high expectations but that is enough to drive you batty. Is he a perfectionist? Hopefully he can learn to be a little easier on himself. Glad J is feeling better!
