Well I got back and biceps banged out. Hoped for more but got a late start. Oh well. I'm just amazed I'm working out AT ALL this early in the morning! Tmrw I am going to shoot for a TM run before work. That means up at 4:30! YIKES! I hope I can pull it off again! 
Gotta go for now but I'll be back later girls!

Mornin' Girls,
I slept really good last night. I've already started laundry which is very early for me. I'm heading down for KPC in a few minutes. My legs are really sore this mornin. Walking down the stairs and sitting are not fun.
I might try to go for a run this afternoon. The temps should be in the upper 60's today which is perfect running weather for me. There is a cold front coming in this afternoon so I'll need to take lunch a little earlier than usual. If I can't get out of my office in time I can always give the treadmill a go.
Wendy-You are the early bird. Good luck getting up at 4:30 tomorrow. I would not be a very nice person if I had to get up that early.
Laura-sending more get well vibes to your DH!! I really want your 4 step plyo/pushup/core/plank torture class on DVD so I can try it at home.
Jaque-Glad your team is doing so well. I've been so busy lately I haven't been following the avs at all. Funny you mention missing having little ones around. I feel like my kids will always be here. My youngest is only 12 so I have a few years to go. I'm guessing my 20 and 18 year olds will move out in the next 2-3 years. My 18 yr old wants to wait to move out until he finishes college which is fine with me.
Jen-I love the 4ds weight workouts. It took me a bit longer to get the hang of the step w/o's though. I'm also an Imax 3 fan and some complex choreography doesn't really bother me. I usually string the 2 cardio's together to make an hour long w/o.
Mornin Dee Dee, Shirl and Angie!

Good morning ladies !
I have quite a stuffy head this AM and was very tired last night so think I will skip the Cardio Kicks since I wouldn't be able to breathe. My plan is to get to work early so I can leave early and then if I am cleared up I may get in a cardio if my sinuses are opened !
Wendy - way to get a head start with your workouts. Don'tcha just love having them done early? I am awake a bit earlier than I get up, but am usually setting up my day in my mind so hang out in bed until my thoughts are organized. My DS gets up just after 5 so I could really hop outta bed and get an earlier start, but now with the chillier weather, not gonna happen!
Diana - Hope the DOMS go away today. I always feel like a nice run helps rid me of my leg & glute DOMS. Think the blood running through the sore muscles helps them heal quicker.
BBL to see what the rest of you are up to.

Hi Girls.
I got the remainder of CTX u/b done just in the knick of time before having to go get DS from school. It's such a relief to finally have it DONE! Tmrw is my early bird run. If I am lazy and don't want to get up then I will sleep in a bit and do B&G floor work and abs instead and save the run for Friday.
So I got Kettlebell Way Volume 2 in the mail today. I preordered in several months ago. I am excited to preview it later. I have decided that when I do the GRFS rotation starting on Sunday that I will sub out the weekly circuit work out for a full body bell work out. Perfect timing to receive a new kb vid, huh?
So I'm going out to dinner tonight with a friend of mine. Not the dork that blew me off last week. LOL Well, he won't say he blew me off but I would! Anyway, this is another friend of mine. We keep in touch but only get together about once a year for dinner. It should be a fun evening. He's always good for a few laughs. Quite the comedian. We are meeting at the Macaroni Grill by where my mom lives. It's kind of the half way point between us. Perhaps I should have done some cardio today to make room for the food! Ah well, just more motivation to get my arse outta bed at 4:30 tmrw morning!
Sunny: WOW, I had no idea your oldest was 8 already! What a big boy! So glad the play went well. Touching to hear that the grandmas welled up at the play. How nice. Enjoy your rest day! Hey, how was the food at your job???
Laura: Too funny about Hugh's GF and your DH. My DH had a dream recently that I told him that DS may not be his!!! So is your DOMS the good kind or the kind that makes ya feel sick? I love DOMS but when I'm sooo sore that I feel like crap then it's no fun. I hope you can get some lovin' tonight w/o getting sick! Load up on airborne before you hit the sheets! LOL
Jacque: Sorry about the stuffed up head. I hate that! I don't know how thrilled I'll be about going out in the cold at 5am tmrw morning to drive to the gym. I hate cold weather. I don't wanna get outta bed and I CERTAINLY don't wanna go out in it...ESPECIALLY in the dark! This is gonna take some MAJOR will power on my part!
Diana: Hope you were able to get in your run at lunch today. I'd love to see 60 degree weather right now!!! LOL, I will not be getting up with the intention of being social tmrw morning although I WILL be on the forums while drinking my java before I head out. As long as I don't have to use my voice to communicate, I'll be fine.
All caught up here. Now I gotta catch up on the dirty dishes in the sink!
BBL!

Hey everyone!
Light workout for me this morning...I did the Cardio Blast premix of LIC. I was absolutely exhausted this morning, so that's about all I had in me.
Wendy, have a blast tonight! You'll have to let us know what your new KB workout is like. I need some more enabling (Yeah, right!!)
Laura, sounds like a phantom cow to me....
Dee Dee, so glad your son did well last night! He must be very proud, too!
Jacque, sorry you're feeling like crap! Feel better soon! Nope, I'm not even thinkin' about it.
Diana, hope walking is a little easier for you tomorrow! I like the idea of putting the two step workouts together for a long one. Will definitely be trying that out.
Ugh, This has been the longest freakin' day. I can't wait to get out of here!! (Which is only about 40 more minutes...woo hoo!)
TTYL~

Hey ladies,
I did get that run in this afternoon. It was a leisurely run but I did have to stop and walk a few times to catch my breath. I think it's because I donated blood yesterday and it always takes me a couple days to really feel back to normal. As a matter of fact, I feel like laying my head down and taking a nap.
Dee Dee-high 5's to your son. It is so nice that both grandma's could be there for his debut
Jen-just a forewarning, you might want to learn the 4DS cardio's before making them one long w/o. It probably took me almost 90 minutes the first time I tried that since I didn't know choreography. Sounds like you love cardio as much as me.
Laura-sorry about the cow. I can't imagine having to deal with animals in the road all the time. That would make me crazy!
Jacque-hope you feel better soon!
Wendy-good job finishing up ctx ub. My legs are still killing me! Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Angie-where are yah girl??? I'm guessing you must be at work today.
Diana
