<p>Thanks, MOfWC! Grandma’s sounds good. Sorry, Sabaray, I anticipate no travel will be happening for me in April. Sigh…</p>
<p>Have fun in Kona, MOWC. :)</p>
<p>Safe travels and best wishes for a healthy successful race for GF!!! </p>
<p>Ocean walk trail today (about 7 miles)–went with friends who were visiting for the weekend. After the walk, we went to brunch and ordered a Bloody Mary with Kimchee juice. For the main course, I had eggs over papusa (a thick, handmade Salvadorian tortilla stuffed queso). It was incredibly delicious and filled with carbs. Didn’t eat anything for the rest of the day–just an apple.</p>
<p>Enjoy Kona, MOWC. Good luck to GF.</p>
<p>Good luck to the girlfriend at Kona, how great it is for her to follow her dreams. 4 bikes though, boggles the mind!</p>
<p>BB, another marathon suggestion. The Bayshore in Traverse City, Michigan. It’s over Memorial Day weekend so May not June but I hear races over a long weekend are rare. From what I hear a good BQ race. Beautiful course along the lake. Small race, fills up quickly <a href=“Redirecting...”>Redirecting...; Facebook page <a href=“http://www.bayshoremarathon.org”>http://www.bayshoremarathon.org</a> website </p>
<p>Kona, walks along the ocean…serious envy here! My 6 miles this morning resulted in my first-ever face plant. Well, first ever when I was running. Very glad I was wearing long pants but still have a nasty looking knee. </p>
<p>Ate WAY too many carbs over the weekend. Time to get back into the healthier eating mode. At least I didn’t have a twinkie. </p>
<p>I’ll second looking into that Traverse City race. Great place to spend a long weekend!</p>
<p>Oh no, Sabaray on the face plant?! Was that punishment for the carbs do you think??? 
I had my share of carbs too over the weekend- not bad on the quantity, but did eat too many carb based foods - pumpkin donut, 2 cupcakes (over the course of the weekend - 1/2 one night, 1/2 another…), skillet breakfast at home which included fried potatoes (and veggies and protein) and some thin crust pizza - but pizza none the less! </p>
<p>Rain expected this afternoon so have my gym bag with me at work. </p>
<p>Bayshore is a good one. I haven’t run it, but my daughter went to Interlochen for her last 2 years of high school, and I traveled up there a lot.</p>
<p>Sabaray- sorry you fell. That’s MY move!</p>
<p>Hi from Houston airport. </p>
<p>abasket, I was just bad all weekend. After the burger and beer, made spaghetti and meatballs for S. Of course I had to eat some too, even though I wasn’t hungry. Then Sunday, got a huge piece of pizza. Then I made tacos and of course I ate tortillas and rice on top of that! Scale was definitely up today so will need to think of some better menu items for this week. </p>
<p>We had beautiful weather this weekend - yesterday was nothing but a run for the dogs. They love going to the park.</p>
<p>Never fear, sabaray. I have the app for all of us!

<p>Haha - that’s a good one PG! 5 miles and I STILL have energy to go today! ;)</p>
<p>Speaking of energy. I read where a chocolate chip will produce energy to go 150 feet. So guess I need to pack ~100 to do my 5k
Would have to train to lift if i was to pack enough for a marathon= ~1000! </p>

<p>I hate faceplants. I’ve done four really good ones since I started walking, all that ended up with scrapes – one literally on my face! Two included turned ankles bad enough that I wasn’t sure how I’d hobble back. It’s so embarrassing! And, such a terrible feeling as it unfolds in slow motion. Hope you heal up fast.</p>

<p>I had a awkward slip on my last hike. Downhill, I stepped over a fallen tree with one leg. As I put my foot down on wet rock, it slipped out from under me. I ended up straddling the tree and trying to figure out how to get up!</p>
<p>My bike is in the shop getting its tire fixed and a tune up. I’m not happy with some of the gear shifting.</p>
<p>So I did a 5 mile power walk. It was good, but not as fun as biking.</p>
<p>Hope you get your bike back quickly, Nrdsb4! </p>
<p>iDad, no question that I felt like a total spaz. I’ve got skinned palms, a nice welt on my forehead and a beautiful scrape on my left knee that the dogs are very interested in. It’s also starting to stiffen up a bit. But hey! I have all my teeth! </p>
<p>Getting older isn’t for the faint of heart, I fear. </p>
<p>3.6 miles at the gym in the books - bye, bye cupcakes!!! 
</p>
<p>Sabaray, ouch!!! Hope you will heal like a dog (my gradnpa use to say that meaning fast and leaving no scars. </p>
<p>Heal quickly, Sabaray. Face plants aren’t fun. Did a gym workout today–45 minutes of cardio and some upper body work on a cable pulley machine.</p>
<p>Darn, that sounds painful Sabaray. Scrapes from those wipeouts hurt. Glad your teeth are okay :)</p>
<p>I had a very easy day–swung the kettlebell, did some squats, took a short walk, fought with the banana trees (their editing is nasty business). </p>
<p>Pilates from 6-7, then yoga 4:30-5:30 pm, came home and had dinner, then another yoga class 8:30-9:30. Note that a) I get my $ worth out of my Corepower membership and b) i get my cardio sidestepping doing actual cardio :-). </p>
