 |
|
This was Jeff's idea, and the tradition needs to be carried on here. On August 13th (this Sunday!  ), Heather will be running her first half-marathon! 
Jeff is going to be be doing a treadmill run. I'm doing a bike ride or another activity if weather doesn't permit outdoor exercise. Dean's walking.
Who else is in?

Alisa, thank you. Yes, the tradition must continue. I hope that with all the comotion lately that people have not forgotten about the challenge. Maybe Suzanne can use her "toy box" for as long as it takes Heather to run 13.1 miles!!! Suzanne, can you keep that toy box busy for.....oh, say 2 1/2 hours???  |

What time on Sunday? I'll put my treadmill to good use in solidarity with you, Heather! What a great idea this is - even Suzanne's toy box option sounds...entertaining...

Perhaps she has plug-in toys, with the extra-long cord...no need to change the batteries at any time. You can go until you drop from exhaustion or 'injury'....

To TRY to bring this thread back to it's original track!!!
 GO HEATHER, GO!!!!!!
I am going to try to get out and walk "with" you... I know you'll be running... but, I don't think I should get too carried away here.
Now... if I could get over to Suzanne's place, I wouldn't mind getting a little carried away...
Hey, I tried to get this thread back on track.... but, Suzanne is in here! That is very HARD to do under those circumstances!
Whatever... it's all Bobi's fault, anyway!

Just under one hour till race time....I hope everybody is getting ready. I had a breakfast of 2 raw egg yolks with 1Tbs of coconut oil, 3 oz raw beef, and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Coffee too, of course.

Hey, that's awesome Susanne. I just finished a while ago. I started at the same time, which would have been 9 am here. Not exactly what I'd call fun, but I finished all 13.1 miles. Glycogen??? Ha! Who needs it. Give me fat!!!!

Great job, Jessica. Thanks for joining us. Still waiting to hear the details of Suzannes's......umm, exercise. Maybe she's not "done" yet?

Ok, I'm getting a little worried about Suzanne....I saw her go into the White Rabbit's hole late last night.....haven't seen her since. I keep hearing this faint "buzzing" sound in the background, though.........

Considering the amount of time you spent down in the hole, you are fortunate.
