Congrats!!   You did an awesome job once again, even if you did have to run a little more than planned!  That is pretty funny!  I'm sure the runner doesn't think so.  😎    But  you have another great weekend of running to be proud of!  And now......onto the roast pork!  I slept in a little bit today and am enjoying my first cup of coffee.  I plan to get a few cleaning things - laundry, dusting, and vacuuming/mopping floors - lots of mud everywhere thanks to the rain and a messy dog.  AND of course, today is elliptical day.  Wednesday I managed to get to 45 minutes, but on Friday I couldn't get past 38 minutes - my trainer said not to be discouraged - elliptical workouts are not "linear" and I won't be able to hit 45 minutes every time.   But I'm damn sure going to try to get there today.  Have a great rest of your day!! 

I have no doubt you will have a great run.  I hope it's a beautiful day weather-wise.   And I see you are spoiling those little kitties again!  Too cute!!  I think I will come to your house for dinner this weekend!  I'm a fan of both Chicken Curry and roast pork!  I think wifey should enjoy some gin WITH the pork!  I'm typically a beer girl but lately have come to appreciate a good Espresso Martini. 😎  Enjoy your weekend!   I'll be working Saturday but just found out I have Sunday off - very excited about that!   

I couldn't get into either  it was 4hrs till I got back in again.

A few people had that problem yesterday n couldn't get in fairyland there's something on the forum I've been told x

Nice run!!   You have done amazing after your injury.  Hoping I can get back to it before summer.  Still not doing good with it.  So back to the elliptical I go today.  I was worried that maybe the elliptical was making things worse, even though it doesn't hurt when I'm on it - but everything makes it ache - even sitting or driving so I guess it doesn't matter.  I just have to wait it out.  Today is cleaning day for me - I have been trying to keep up with the mud the dog brings in all week - it is quite the never-ending chore.  But today the temps are back down near freezing, and high winds, so hopefully that will help with the mud so I might enjoy almost 24 hours with a clean house.  😎  Summer will be a welcome treat this year.  Good luck this weekend!!  I know you will do awesome.  Hopefully no rain.

Wow!!   You have had a pretty fantastic weekend!!  Congrats on both runs.   I don't think I'd ever survive all the mud - I'd end up killing myself in some horrendous accident!  And what a great way to end today's race - strong competition and a hug at the end!  It's perfect. Definitely a lot to be proud of.  🎉🎉🎉

I actually had some pretty good sales both days - so I was  happy about that.  Most of the people who come are very nice - some require a lot more work than others - but as long as they treat me like I'm human, I'm good.  And the weather has warmed up nicely - it feels so good to ALMOST be able to wear short sleeves.  How was the Risotto?  I'm sure it was fabulous! 

I hope your week goes as well as your weekend.   I'm trying to get better on the elliptical, hoping in the end it will make me a stronger runner - we'll see!  Have a great start to your week. 

Muddy seems to be the word of the week!   I am sure both runs will be fabulous!  Just enjoy every minute.   The temps have warmed up nicely here (hence the mud!).  I spent all day yesterday cleaning - washed floors on my hands and knees.  Within 5 minutes of me being done my sweet little dog Annie had mud everywhere.   Not her fault....there is mud everywhere.  Just frustrating.  Risotto sounds yummy - I have never made it before but have to give it a try!  Please send some here!  😎  I am working both Saturday and Sunday - hopefully it will be busy.   Let me know how you do on your runs.  I will live vicariously through you for my running.  I miss it!

Hi!  Oh yes - I hate coming home to a dirty house - or cooking a  nice dinner in a dirty house.  The key to being a peace in my brain is to have things nice and clean.  It's not always easy to have all the closets, etc done at the same time.....it's a work in progress!  lol  Oh yes - you can smell Spring in the air!  It's pretty cold here today - still below freezing - but I think we will be following your trend a few days later - it's supposed to warm up to right around what you have right now.  (I think that's around 57F.)   Looking forward to it - but NOT to the mud my dog brings in!  lol 

Hi Andy!  Thanks for checking in - I love the chats!  I worked both Saturday and Sunday - and will be working again tomorrow to sub for one of the girls who just had surgery.  But that's okay - it's good to be out with people.  You have been doing so awesome with your running - you should NEVER sweat your times - they are all good - even the slower ones.   And yes, I know what you mean about the slow run feeling good.  Sometimes I think it somehow helps!   It sounds like you had a nice mix of things this weekend.   I have been back to a 7 day workout schedule alternating with strength one day and elliptical the next.   I have to say that doing the cardio again is very helpful for me - I have a love/hate relationship - not LOVING the elliptical but it's definitely helping.  I still can't go "all out" on the elliptical - hamstring feels it if I go too crazy - so trying to work hard enough to make some progress, but not too hard to aggravate the hamstring.  I just want to RUN!  Tonight I am going to sing with a new chorale group - excited but nervous!  Today I need to get some laundry done and some cleaning done around the house - amazing how just 2 days away makes a difference.  lol   I hope you have a great week of work.  I'm sure you'll fit a good run in there.    You are due for a visit to the cat house!  😎

Hi - you still had a good time for your 10k!  Congrats.  I am extremely jealous.  I keep telling myself that by doing the elliptical and strength training, I am helping myself to be a better runner when I can run again.....but I'm getting very impatient.   It's not looking good for me to run the Women's 5k at the end of May - but I'm not giving up hope.    I hope you're having a good week!
