Polly - it's so good to hear from you! I was looking forward to the Frosty Four as well - even though I haven't run at all since starting the P90X program - but we decided last night to get out of town this weekend... between health/stress issues with my Mom and work stuff for Dave - we just need a little breaky and this weekend is the only one that works in February!

I know we have another Sparker signed up to walk the Frosty Four - but I haven't heard from anyone else. I am sad to miss it - I've been doing it for 3 years now and I love the route and challenge...

We will plan a lunch soon - hopefully next week! Are there any days that work better for you? Let me know!

Spark On!

I'm still around and planning on running Frosty Four on Saturday. I've been running pretty well since the marathon so I'm kind of excited to see what kind of pace I can push for. I'd love to do lunch one of these days..I'm back to working everyday so my. Schedule is pretty open. Hope to see some sparkers on Saturday! Polly

OK Team - where is everyone?! LOL! It is SUPER quiet around here... I know with December we all get crazy busy with the holidays - and possibly a little struggling too... and it takes a bit to get back into a routine!

But - this is the end of January... soooo? Are you all still around? How are you doing? What are you working towards?

I know we have at least one Sparker signed up for the Frosty Four? Is anyone else signed up for that? It's in a week... I am planning on going but am a little nervous! I haven't gone on a run in weeks - and before that, it had been a month... I started doing the P90X program 3 weeks ago and it has kicked my butt! It's great - but I haven't really had the energy or time to add in extra cardio! Luckily, however, next week is what they call 'recovery' - so it is more cardio so I am hoping to fit in a couple of runs to see how it feels! I know I can walk the Frosty Four if need be... it would be great to see some Sparkers there!

OK - off for now... have a Baby Shower for a friend tomorrow, hopefully that run, and some family time on tap for tomorrow! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Spark On!

Lynessa,

So good to hear from you! Congrats on the job(s) - and good for you for not only sticking with schooling - but making sure you spend that time with the kiddos too! It's easy to see how easy it would be to let health and exercise get pushed to the side - but the more consistent you are with it - the more energy you will have to do the rest of life!

I started the Bootcamp too - It's a great motivation! I just started doing the P90X program too though and found this week that it was hard to get both programs done - I made it most days - but it was tricky!

Post when you can... we've missed hearing from you!

Spark On!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give an update. I found a job and have been working since December. My husband is also working again. I barely have time for school because I try to spend as much time with my kids as possible especially since I work about 10-12 hours a day.

I decided to join the 28 day bootcampe challenge by SP. I am excited! I am ready to be disciplined about working out-especially since I get asked at least once a day if I am pregnant. I actually cried one time because it bothered me-i then decided to do something about it.

Well, I will try to keep up with everyone to see how you are all doing!

YES!!!! You can do it Teri!!! I walked it my first time as well... was not even CONSIDERING being a runner - but I loved it! The second time I did it - my goal was to run most of it... and I did. I think that is gonna be my goal again this time around since I tend to wimp out in the colder months of Nov/Dec/Jan!? LOL?! I don't like it much either if it is too cold - but once you get moving - you warm up pretty fast!!!

How exciting! I hope you sign up! I will be there too and we'll cheer you on!!!

I am thinking about Walking the Frosty Four (I am not a runner, currently, I only walk about 3.6 - 3.7 miles per hour -- I can do faster if only 2 miles but 4 is alot,,,
working on increasing my speed for the Bloomsday run in May. --
just have to make up my mind about the Frosty Four AND see if I can tell how CRAPPY the weather will be, I don't like to walk in the FREEZING, when I can see my breath...

Hey Yakima... it is cold-ER... AGAIN!? I am so done with winter?! LOL!? It's pretty from inside - but man?! Enough already?!

I just started the P90X program today... yikes?! I could not do several parts of the workout - but I pressed on and hope to be able to do at least some of every rep by the end! LOL! My arms are sore... I have heard that by Fridays' DVD (which is a legs workout!) - I will REALLY be hurtin'!? Hopefully it will get me off this plateau though - and help me to lose some inches and sculpt a bit!

I am hoping to do the Frosty Four - I actually went out on a run last Thursday when it wasn't completely freezing and enjoyed it! I accidentally ran exactly 4 miles which I haven't done in months and months... I was pretty sore the next few days - but good to know I could do it! I did walk a few times for just a minute to catch my breath and rest a little... I've come to accept that this is how I go! Anyway - anyone else thinking of running the Frosty Four? Let me know!

Hope you are all sparkin' it up and sticking to your goals!

Getting ready to leave for Florida and running the Disney marathon next Sunday! What a way to start out the new year. Hope to see everyone around and working on their goals in the new year- anyone planning on running Frosty 4?
