I know i know..
I know I haven’t written anything even remotely entertaining lately. I know I haven’t visited enough blogs lately.
I’ve HEARD I whine about my shins too much. Whatever!!
But you see today? It was 15 degress outside AND sunny! So I just couldn’t. I couldn’t do it.
And now I think I will go for a run on my newly adjusted shins.

Try not to miss me.

Three words:
Active
Release
Therapy
Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go and stick my legs in a bucket of ice water.

 
 

CHI running March 29 2005

Filed under: Running — pamalamadingdong @ 7:44 pm

So I enjoyed our instruction on CHI running VERY much. It made SO much sense. He was VERY informative and easy to follow. I like the idea of effortless running…well who wouldn’t? He runs like liquid. Almost gliding over the pavement.
I have one problem…you know that muscle they tell you to use? The lower abdominal muscle? To level your pelvis with?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure I don’t have that one.

I think it’s spring. I think it’s finally here. Let’s all rejoice.
I ran last night…I wore a light weight long sleeve running shirt and I debated wearing my vest but opted for my jacket cause it seemed cool out. .5km into the run I was HOT! I took my jacket off! HURRAY! I totally could’ve worn capris, if mine weren’t worn out and need replacing.

there is a seminar on Chi running tonight for my group. But I don’t think I can make it as I have a stained glass class on Tuesdays…one possible solution. Show up for the seminar, in my running clothes, do it. And then RUN to my stained glass. In my running clothes. The running at the seminar is supposed to be pretty minimal…just some demonstration and then a little running. So I won’t be too sweaty. What do you think.
Option two is to make someone teach it to me on our wednesday run. There are some teachers in our group so it’s a possibility.

My parents are coming this weekend. It should be a lovely visit despite the fact that Feffie is not talking to them. I’m having to bribe her with brownies to get her to come out here. Well really doesn’t matter I could just send Chris in to drap her out of her apartment (laundry and all of course) and drive her here. She hasn’t a whole lot of choice in the situation. This brownie thing is more of a courtesy. heh.

Easter was lovely, the kids took forever to find their eggs. Brendan got up at 5:30am! And could not go back to sleep (this doesn’t even happen at Christmas). He wanted us to wake his brother. Ummm NO!
We sent him back to his room a million times to read or whatever. Finally at 7am I told him to play with lego until his brother woke up. And I think it took about 3 minutes of the plastic rattling to wake up the little guy.
Ugh!Sunday was a sleepy day.
Monday was a blur. Though it did end in a lovely run.
So do you like the new design? Thanks to Zoot for the design and Mark for the upgrade. You guys are the best.

 
 

Alive. March 26 2005

Filed under: General — pamalamadingdong @ 11:07 am

I’m alive…lots of running..mile hill this weekend. Ugh.
But in a good way.
Easter bunny has stocked (stalked?) up and all ready to go.
I filled 96 plastic eggs. NINETY SIX!!
I am such a moron..convinced i don’t have enough…my POOR deprived children.
Then I start filling..and counting.
ZOINKS!
My house isn’t big enough to hide them all..not to mention the foil chocolate eggs and the hollow sponge bobs!
AND the kinder surprise eggs.
HOPPY EASTER! (Original I know).
