There's an App for that..........

I beat the DH home on Thursday so I thought what the heck I will get on the treadmill and get my interval running going and watch Corrie at the same time. He came home and asked I was going to join him and the dogs for a walk later. I thought sure since they are more like a stroll. 

Well who ever told my DH about the app called RunKeeper might want to hide.......this application "announces" the time, speed and distance I wonder if we are going for new land speeds! 

So we walked 3+ kms in less than 45 minutes and boy were my legs killing me at the office on Friday! I had some shin splints on the treadmill but worked through them, then my toes were some sore on the walk but I persevered through it all. 

I am glad for the company that we had on Saturday or we would have been off again! I didn't get much sleep on Saturday night since I woke up a few times with leg cramp (charlie horses) that I needed to walk off. 

So I decided that I would skip the treadmill on Sunday and let my body rest. Well the DH suggested another walk and I thought rather than do a loop, let's have a goal for our walk. Well my fave place to get my kale chips should be far enough for a walk let's head that way. We started off just after lunch and went on our way. We got to the store and found that it "seasonal" on Sundays so it was closed :( So we crossed the street and had some lunch and started on the trek back home. We stopped off at the grocer's on the last bit of the trip and I loaded up the back pack with stuff for some extra weight to add some more excercise to it all.

The app said that we did all 5+ kms in over an hour which was good since we were gone for over 2....love the pause button LOL
 
That takes us to last night…….I got home with a bit of a grump on and the DH told me that we had a friend called Nash stopping by to join us on the walk tonight. Oh what the heck I’ll go again.

Her long stride had us doing over 3.5 kms in just over 45 mins.....and she really enjoyed herself.  Mel tried to keep up since we firgured that she is the kind of dog who tries to keep pace with whomever she is with.

I am kind of glad for the break tonight with the second job so I can rest my knees LOL

Poon Pacer's of G'Town

Consists of me, the DH adn the girls LOL......

I was a little bummed when I got home after funding out that one forgot about it, the other stopped in to tell me she was bailing and the other one let me know via FB that she wasn't coming.

So I drowned my sorrows in some Diet Coke and watched some Big Bang Theory with the DH.  At this point it was 8 pm and so we laced on the shoes and went for a walk!  Poor Miss Mel Mel tried so hard to keep up with the quicker pace.

These are our results:

Balloons in the office!!!!!

HAPPY NATIONAL PAYROLL WEEK!!!!!!!  (For those of you in Canada)

Group on Saturday was great! Met some new Poon’ers and spread what knowledge I had and they seemed to enjoy themselves and the tasty treats I took along too.  As you can see I variety of stuff that I took that included chive & cheddar carbquick biscuits with the phase 2 tomato sauce; carbthin pancakes with walden farms syrup and the old standby of smaps.

 

I have started a “Poon Pacers of G’Town” walking group and I am hoping that they will want to start to run so I am going to do a 1:1 interval tonight to show them that it isn’t that hard.  I say that now LOL

Momma Tool ran her 5K over the weekend and she did it in less than 40 minutes so I guess there is hope for me!  I am proud of her and I am hoping that the next time we get together (December) that we can go for a jog together.

Happy Freddy Day!!!!!!

Well for those of you that know me, know that Fredy would kick Jason's butt any day including today so since 1991 September the 13th is actually Freddy's Day.......

I think I still have the 2010 one to watch, but getting the box set from my brother was the best!

Even though folks are posting this pic because it is Friday the 13th today my fave will always be Freddy.  I guess with both of their days falling on the same day, the only thing to do is watch Freddy vs. Jason tonight LOL







 

A series of new stuff......

This is post about stuff I haven't done in a while and even stuff I have never done before.

Yesterday I went back to church.  I was able to see my step mom and one of my step sisters and it always amazes that through social media we can still stay connected even though we physically haven't see in each other in years.  Both of these are something that I haven't done since Nikki and I were paired up as a service team so that should give you some idea of how long it has been!  I had prayed in the past trying to see which direction my life should be going and my thoughts about going back to church just seemed to be one more thing in my plate I didn't know if I could deal with it.  As I said, I prayed and next thing I know I had the missionaries knocking on my door.  So I decided to consider this a sign and followed up on it.  Well yesterday was a Stake Conference and this is when the chapels in the area get together and listen to an authority of the Church.  My heart was racing when I went in since it wasn't my usual chapel so I felt a little panicked when I walked in.  I did get there early enough to get myself and Nikki settled before it all began.  Nikki had a bit of doggy tummy so near the end she had to let her out.  Once the session was over, I had received numerous compliments on Nikki ranging from things like "I didn't know there was a dog there" to "she is so behaved that she could teach the Sunday School kids a thing or too" LOL  I was able to talk to my Bishop while I was there and he is looking forward to seeing me next week.  So far it is still a go.

Once I go back from Church the DH and I went for a loooong walk.  I "google'd" it and it is just shy of 4 km the route we took.  We stopped for lunch and this is the other "haven't done in a while" is got some chicken nuggets at McD's for lunch.  Mind you I had a side salad, but I am definitely paying for it today.  I hear Florida from group rolling around in my head again "garbage in, garbage out" and boy is my tummy sore!

And now for some thing new!!!!!!!  Ohio has talked me into the CIBC Run for the Cure on Oct 6th...... what is a 5 k run right?  That is the loop the DH and I walked and then some!!!!  So I guess I better get on the treadmill since I will need to get running at least some of it.  To quote Momma Tool "I don't care if the lights are turned off and everyone has gone home, I am going to finish the run!"
More details of the run are at http://www.runforthecure.com/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=1703

Welcome Back?????????

I know it has been a while but I have been able to figure out how to post to my blog more regularly on my phone WHEEEEE  So you might even get multiple postings from me know LOL

Things with Susanne are going well and we have started out to figure out some things that will help me make changes for the better in the new future.  We have figured out that I am the kind of gal that needs to make stuff fun in order to get it done.  She figures that is why I enjoy the horse industry so much.

The Dr Poon wagon had a flat for a bit, but that is now fixed and with Susanne’s help I should be more excited about it that I was before.  I have an appointment on Sep 19^th that I really need to keep.  It isn’t with Dr. Crystal since he is going to be on holidays so I will see what this guy is like.

The DH and I went on holidays to see family and attended the International Conference and it wasn’t the highlight of the trip for me.  Believe it or not…it was going to the stock yards in Fort Worth.  Here is a pic of me doing what I do best J Why didn't you guys tell me I was startng to get bat wings?!?!?!?!

Work is work. NN was terminated and has been replaced with Navy Wife.  She and I are hitting it off pretty good since she is in the SCA and she has a dog too J DoxyLover is more comfortable around her too than she was with NN.

So that is everything in a nut shell so I will talk again in a bit!
