Progress Report

Well I went out of town this weekend and I took my running equipment with me. And Thursday night I went swimming, Friday I thought about running at night...but I ate cake instead. Saturday I slept in since I was up so late on Friday night...and no running. So I brought two running outfits and did...zero running. This is not good.

I need to carry my little running journal with me or maybe we should go ahead and sign up for the race. Nothing is as motivating as actually knowing you HAVE to go.

Ok, so you'll be well rested for your next long run. It'll be great. I'm definately in for registering.

Are we still running here at the pond this Saturday?

I'm not sure how I will pull this off - the kids have a stake primary activity at Legacy at 10am. So I could race out there and hurry back or you guys could come out closer to me this time...Maleah could attend the activity with us. Course this only works if Mom or someone is willing to come out and watch the kids at mi casa. I need a nanny apparently...

If we come out there this week, can we start trading off or meeting at WRL sometimes?

How much is the registration? MB, are you in for signing up?

You don't need a nanny; you need a husband who will watch the kids while you exercise. As far as someone else watching your kids, you will have to call and ask yourself. I don't mind coming out there, but I do not plan on staying for the Primary activity. So, if Nadene needs a ride, I can't take her home if she stays for the Primary activity.

Can you register us for the Tyler Half and I will reimburse you?

Ummm.. so sat. is busy here in the Minyard house, too.. We've got a lot of stuff, so I'll just gracefully bow out of the group run this time.. But don't worry..
I'll BE BACK.

Jen if you are interested.. if the kid/running situation doesn't work out, and if I politely ask your dad to take my stroller to you.. would you like to borrow my cool stroller?

The Sabins June 10, 2008 at 10:46 AM  

Yeah...of course if I didn't have to meet everyone on their time schedule my DH would be available...like 9am when it's only 75 out instead of 7am. I figure I have to be considerate enough that both of us can exercise rather than just one of us. I will check on things for Sat and get back soon...

Thanks Nadene, that's very sweet! But I'm good; I can go to the gym to work out and the kids love it there. I was just trying to make things work for a group run...

Since I'm the one with issues for Saturday, you two could just get together and we can plan another week!

Oh, bummer. I still can't do sat. I'm going to do the cannery and then Devan has an activity with Maleah for Father's day. No biggie, do ya'll want to try for next saturday. Or would a diff. day work better, I'm willing to do evening runs if you guys are...
By the way is DH , Designated Husband? I've been wondering that for about a month...
oh and I would like to Run at wrl. I haven't ever been there.

I actually like evening runs so works for me...we could do a variety of different times and places to make things interesting.

DH = Dear Husband or I guess you could get creative if you get mad ;)
DD=Darling Daughter
DS=Dear Son

So, every other Friday I have off work. Since I am always going to have issues on Saturday mornings, would Friday mornings work better for group workouts? Nadene, I know you won't know Devan's schedule for a bit but just wanted to see what everyone thinks...

I can survive just fine running together less often, but I thought you two ladies wanted to try weekly.

I hate evening runs. They are hot (no cool evenings until October). I am usually a bit tired by the end of the day (old men tire earlier in the day.) And I am usually so wired from an evening run that I have trouble getting to sleep at a decent hour. However, I will consider an ocassional evening if that is the best we can do.

Early Friday mornings would be fine and I do not mind doing "Plain Old Town" or White Rock (of course our runs there would have to be to jog 1 or 2 miles and then turn around). Let me know if and when you would like to try again.

By the way, I did not know that Jeff was playing basketball only on Saturday mornings and could not alter his schedule for the one time a week you would run with a group. [;>{

I'm open the next 2 FRI am's (the 13th and the 20th)
Devan will start working 10pm-8am Tues.night-Fri.night.
So after the 22nd my schedule is open evenings (as long as we're back by 8:30 pm)
I can do later Monday and Saturday evenings.
For early runs.... I could do Fri and Sat. mornings at 9 with the stroller.

Sorry guys, I know it's wacko! If you 2 can work out a better run, I really won't feel left out. My schedule is just weird right now while DH is in training. He'll be on a set schedule Mid August!
