I keep looking for that big bottle of motivation in the grocery aisle but can't seem to locate it!

G'morning!

If you're doing 5ks you got all the moto you need.

Mtm
Have a good day

I've only done 2 and they are all about personal fitness goals...not about ability or speed or any of that stuff (SOMEBODY has to be willing to come in dead last!) It's more about these strict personal rules of "follow through" than actual desire to do it or motivation...
But thanks for saying!

How long did it take you to do the 5ks?

I get put in the run catagory even though I mostly walk with just a few intervals... Around 47 minutes both times. I'd like to shave 8 minutes but yesterday shaved 5 SECONDS only from my first attempt. And yes...dead last. But it was about DOING it and doing it for ME, so whatever!

Well I think thats still really good. Takes me an hour for 5 miles. But thats walking , not running.

Well i'm glad to see the rest of you finally woke up

hi Music
How did the concert go?

Well see? You are faster than me already...5 miles would probably take me about an hour and a quarter.

Good morning Betty. Show is going great. One more this afternoon then it is finished. I have an elementary concert Thursday but that is very low pressure compared to this.

Walking is the only excerise I enjoy.Had a personal trainer once at the gym and did great as long as I had her pushing me. But it got way to expensive . Couldn't afford it anymore. My niece is a PT and helps me out whenever she can though.

See all that hard work is paying off....Bravo!!!

Yea now i just wish the school board and administration would see that payoff as valuable.

Oh, I understand that!

I do not do public fitness...it's a very private thing to me. I'm a creature of habit and have to have very strict routines for fitness activities or I won't do them. Even going out for a fun run/walk is a big deal...it's at "off" times, in places I don't usually walk, and with groups of strangers...

I walk 2 mi daily and I have a small office that will NEVER have a guest bed because I've filled it with an elliptical and a weight bench. But I need to have what it takes for me to stay healthy and strong...a guest can stay at the hotel 2 minutes away :)

well maybe they will, or have you heard otherwise?

Thats a good one I should put stuff in the guest room too.Although my daughter has completly takin over both rooms ..so we couldn't fit a guest if we tried
Having 2 dogs really helps me with the walking ..they need their excerise too.
I am looking for some good DVDs for weights right now.

Definitely otherwise. All kinds of cuts being voted on right now. Final budget needs to be approved by June 11. I think I will be very glad to get out of this town for a few weeks vacation. I don't know if I will be able to stay in the schools i'm in again this year or if i'll even be teaching the same ages. Depending on decisions I may not be working with kids in extracurricular areas anymore. I will miss that and they will definitely miss that. If these decisions go the way they could this might be the last musical we do. I'm very upset about these decisions. I live in the community I teach in because I was willing to put my money where my mouth is. Apparently others are not. If the school district deteriorates the community deteriorates.

Carol I really hope they do the right right thing for you and the children.
Health Care and education are really being hit hard these days. The two things that should be improved the most and instead are being cut!
Lets hope everything will out
Keeping my fingers crossed

Thanks Betty. I hope so too.

It will be nice to have the energy to get back to exercising after this show is over. Maybe I'll even have some time to meet someone special. That would be really nice.
