::::: CHEETAHS!!:::: Sunday May 18

[sunnydelite]

you guys have totally made my day:7 :7 glad to see so many of you trying TT and alwyn's programs, wooohooo! i definitely believe it will change the way you view working out. these workouts are hard and very effective.(although i can't comment yet on WS because that one is so new) yet take so little time that you will be able to fit in a serious workout without having to sacrifice hours out of your day.

cathy- i think with AB you will be able to do it with your training except for when you get to the last eight weeks of AB. as you will be doing weights 4 times a week and your mileage will be pretty high by then. i do think you could start it now and then like wendy switch programs as you get closer to your race. if you decided on AB let me know. also we are forming a alwyn check-in, so be sure to check us out! sorry about the rain today. with WSFL the cardio is very specific to the plan and he and mike both say do NOT change a thing about the workouts. so you may want to hold off on that one for now. oh btw- my friend (who was supposed to run with me today) canceled her wedding on 10/11 - so now i am toying with the idea of be able to come to chicago to cheer you on. i have to see how it would work out with dh's schedule. i will keep you posted!! no real need for JS any jump rope will do. i got JS because my space is limited and a real rope won't work it now with all of my other toys. also i have a few very tall clients and they are not able to use a real jump rope in the space either.

one more AB comment if you are on the fence about the results of this program check out skwigg's blog. skwiggblog.url (i hope that works).

gloria- thanks girl!!

Sunny...I run during the week alone so on the weekends company is nice. Glad you enjoyed your solitary run. So will you let some of your clients try JS? So you might come to Chicago????..

Gloria...well we got a break today ONLY 105!!! Don't ya just love new puppies!! I am a true fan of puppy breath.....My DH is also the social one...as he has the gift of gab!

Posh..http://www.wondercliparts.com/anniversary/graphics/anniversary_03.gif[/img]...Actually we used to have dry heat which I prefer. Nowadays it is a bit more humid which I don't like much. The trail this morning was good though and at least some shade. Yes the sis in Hawaii is the one that will run the 5K. I think we will go down the night before and stay with another friends son. So maybe dinner might work out.....I know I can get under a 10:00 pace for the 5K, but I sure would like to get closer to a 9:00 min pace (in my dreams!!)

Cathy...sorry about the rain storm ruining the run! I know some have done long distance on their TM's. Yeah the break today was 105 but more humid...There is of course more to the toe story but it goes way back which is why this was so funny and sooooo bad.....I hope the weather is better for you tomorrow.

My DH picked up some heavy weight plates at a garage sale awhile back. 4 25#'s, 2 10#'s and 2 5#'s...so we have been cleaning up the pates for painting and so I can finally use them!!! Here I come STS......PS...25# weight plates are heavy!!...http://www.langkawi.dk/smileys/w100.gif[/img]

Hello Cheetahs!

Cathy: I am sorry the weather was not so good for your run. You will undoubtably kick some butt tomorrow though! I have never heard of that book. If you find anything valuable, bring it on!

Carole: Puppies are a reason for celebration in my opinion. My DH never stops talking.

Posh: Funny you say that about the grass. Our maintenance person spends more time standing around talking than doing any work. I am happy that you had a nice time celebrating with your DH. Sounds like something Andy and I would do.

My friends who left at noon showed back up at around 5. They sat here and watched t.v. and chatted with me FOREVER! They just left. Andy and I are laid back, but jeesh! I do not like the feeling of having to entertain people when it is Sunday and I have stuff to do. While they were gone I ran 5 miles, took a shower, made dinner and ran some errands around town. I love these friends dearly, but I do not like people showing up unnanounced. Okay, I will try and write a "negative free" post from here on out. SERENTITY STARTS NOW!!!! Have a fantastic evening ladies!

Alrighty then….I didn’t get to do the Itread because people came over my house and my treadmill is the only workout item I don’t have in my *garage*. Sooooo, instead of bagging all of my workout I opted for 4D’s Premix 8 Kickbox AND upper body lazily thinking “chyeah, Cathe will be way easier than Grace”…NOT! Holy Toledo, me thinks Cathe borrowed Grace’s horns for this one! I was shakin’ in my Avia’s on this stuff…so I snapped a quick photo of my face (with the blackberry) to show ya’ll my TERROR of Cathe in this workout…LOL…um, never mind I don’t have ANY makeup on and I’m a sweat ball and this pic is really lousy, but seriously I just had to show ya’ll my face during this workout…um, and then ironically shortly after I snapped the photo and continued the workout, I hear Cathe say, “never mind what you look like, just gimmee some”….LMAO! I mean what more to you want lady?

Me REALLY thinks I’m going to LOVE the 4D’s! I finished with the CORE work and a nice stretch/foam roller and I am absolutely spent after that 2 hours or so!

Cathy – SORRY about your downpour! I like to run in the rain but thundershowers I know can be another story…I’ve had to run some of my long runs on the treadmill before…ughh….The farthest I think I’ve had to do was 15 miles!!! Um, I DID watch movie!! Oh, and I can get all 3 flavors of sharkies, I thought you were looking for berry and not the citrus…They’re based off Combie Road in Auburn (that’s not far from me) so me thinks this is why I can get all flavs. I can send some if you don’t find em.. Here’s a link to their site that tells what retailers carry them.

Sunny! You’re tempting me with that Warp Speed stuff!! LOL

Carole – THANK YOU for the Anniversary wishes! Ok, I’ll start looking around for some lodging in Sactown then…I’ll let you know. This would be good for me to be there on Saturday anyway since the packet pick-up is at the Fleet Feet downtown Sac anyway…I think. COOL that you’ll get the 10 min mile or better! This will make me try to run even faster so I won’t make youz guyz wait too long for me at the finish…LOL. You are gonna wait, right? LOL

Gloria – LOL about your SERENITY NOW stuff…I just love Seinfeld! Anyway, I know how you feel about constant visitors when you need to get stuff done. My SIL has been coming over a lot and sometimes I have soooo much to do and she just wants me to crack open some vino and put out the snacks! I can’t always do that! Oh well, don’t worry, it isn’t negative to vent a little here with the cheetahs about stuff like that…we know you care about your friends but sometimes a cheetah has to do what a cheetah has to do…lol

Oki Doki – DH just popped in and said, “whaddaya doin?” I says, “postin’ to the Cheetahs” and he says, "oh"..lol. …Me thinks he’s hungry! LOL. I have Lasagna in the oven but I best get my hiney in gear now for a shower as it will be time to make the salad. ( I don’t eat the lasagna though – yucky meat). Awe sheet, I can hardly raise my arms of this thing yeowch!

Have a good one friends!
