Hooray!! For Great Runs!!
| I don't have too much time to post, but I figured I'd try and squeeze it in before we take off for Sabetha for a wedding (yah...I know, we're still trying to figure out where Sabetha, KS is from us...around 112 miles according to Mapquest, and a quick hop away from Nebraska from the looks of it). But YAY! Things are finally getting better!! I am finally able to see through my bunk eye, swelling was down by this morning...my shins are doing much better...the cramps are going away (WHEE!!)...the car is still a sucky problem, but ya know I'm not letting myself worry about that right now...all in all, things are fabulous. We spent a great day in Lawrence yesterday, had a rockin 10 (ish) mile run this morning and a wonderful, tummy-filling breakfast with a handful of awesome RBFers after. Seriously...you kids rock. |
I've got too much to take do before we leave in an hour...so I'm cutting this short.
10 (ish) Miles...and I say 'ish' because I think I might have cut it short be a half mile or so...my Garmin was cutting in and out....but 10ish miles done in 2:02...12:14 pace...in like a gajillion degrees with 24397842% humidity. Okay, that's a lie...but it was hot. Reaaaaaaaaally stinkin' hot...the heat slowed down this speed queen (hah...we all know i'm the abominable slowman...get it? hah.)
So yah...that's the abridged version. I'll post the extended version, with photos, when I have time next week in Chicago.
Kevin, KT, A.Maria, Stephanie, Dice...it was WONDERFUL meeting all of you (except Dice...it was great seeing you, as always)...you guys all rock and anytime you're in Chicago, let me know :) ...hope to see you again soon!
Peace out, campers.

Nice Pace...mine was 12:12...i swear we are pace sisters. Sorry I wasn't able to run with you, but it was SOOO good to meet you. You are just as sweet and welcoming in person. Memo to all campers: Barb is good people.
That's AWESOME, Barb. I am glad that things are looking up. I can not wait for the pics from this weekend. I will be watching and waiting.
You have my deepest admiration for sticking it out in this heat. And I think that a gajillion degrees with 24397842% humidity really isn't too far off the mark! ;-)
Great job on the 10 miles Barbara!! And can't wait to hear the full story...! Have a safe trip home!
Weather was the same here...only more humid, if that's possible. let's hear more about that meetup!
That uh...humidity sounds brutal!!!
:-)
Rock on. Glad you had a good run!
So great to meet you, lady! Hoping for more Chicago-KC breakfasts in the future!
That's great. I'm glad things are perking up!
So...what was the eye deal?? Just allergy or stye or red hot poker?
PS I am a slowpoke too - glad to know that there are more than just one of us out there!! Just check out my post for last night!
Great job with the run!!!! Hope you had a nice trip.
Sounds like you toughed it out through the heat and humidity. Good job!
Stay tuned...
Yeah! I'm so glad that things are going well. Great run.
Excellent running, Barb! Even when it's a gajillion degrees, you're rocking!
Hey there,
A little while back I wrote a post about your blog on ThisNext.com (check it out at http://blog.thisnext.com/blog/we-cant-resist.html). ThisNext just started a month-long private beta and I'd love to extend to you an invitation to come use the site and make a list (we call it a shopcast) of your favorite products.
Clicking this link will get you into your account: http://www.thisnext.com/invitation/2581-6346-0295. It’s a one-time URL that’s only for you so it can’t be shared. The bottom of every page has a place for your comments… We’d love to know what you think!
Our shopcasting network is a place where people can recommend and discover great products and is built based on our philosophy, “Buy better to live better.” Shopcasts are lists of “favorites” that tell stories about how you do things and what you use. We want people to be able to answer online a question they ask all the time in the real world, “What do you use?”
We consider ourselves a layer in a blogger’s virtual identity:
-A way to keep products about which you’ve posted from getting buried
-A way to attract traffic by syndicating your voice to a large audience.
-In a few weeks, we’ll have finished a badge bloggers can run that plays shopcasts.
One small favor: We’re asking the bloggers that we invite to please NOT post about the project until our public launch in August. We’ll let you know when… We deeply appreciate being able to develop the most usable site we can before presenting it to the world.
Hope to see you around the ThisNext shopcasting neighborhood… please let us know how the site’s working for you… We’re still working on it!
Thanks,
Liz
P.S. Don’t hesitate to email me any questions! (lizbarker77@gmail.com)
