| cmpbllv: | I think I need to log a similar comment in my research log...free wireless+tired of digging = getting inspired about running instead of reading.
Hey, we're all entitled to a break on occasion! Unfortunately, I think I need to close my browser and declare mine over! Headed to any meets over the summer? We're tied up until Sep...sigh... |

| peggyd: | I didn't read any inspiring logs last night. :-)
I think I have more breaks than I need. Then I feel guilty. Then I feel bad about feeling guilty and I eat chocolate. That makes me feel worse. Oh well! The chocolate tastes yummy. No o' meets this summer. With the house thing going on, and Nadim scheduled for knee surgery (torn meniscus) on July 24th, and me not in great running shape either, it didn't make sense to go out to Wyoming. I'm hoping to do a full schedule in the falll, though. Hope to see you guys then. |

| ahall: | Humidity demotivates me. I'd never manage in D.C.! But I use the video/TV/treadmill crutch to get me going. Used to feel guillty ('Why don't I want to run outside? I should want to run outside.') ... but now I don't worry about it.
Hope the house hunting is going well! (and it is Kristin, not Andy, but I couldn't be bothered to switch users ...) |

| cmpbllv: | I'm also a fan of the chocolate plan. And there's a chocolate factory in Jon's hometown - yum!
I've been having a tough time staying motivated with not so many races and being busy elsewhere, but I'm pretty excited about linking up with the BAOC folks who run together Tues and Thurs. I think that's what I'm going to try and do when I get back to West Point - find a training partner to keep me going. It's summer, so maybe I can run with people who usually teach opposite schedules to mine...hmmm. Good luck with your house. We've only done that once, but it was quite an experience! What does Max think about moving? |

| peggyd: | Max is excited about moving (possibly because whenever he asks for some new toy, we say, not now, maybe when we get the new house ... boy is he in for a let-down). He will be getting a "big boy" bed (and he mentioned a bunk bed -- didn't know he even knew what that was!). Can you believe he's still in his crib? His room is too small for anything bigger. We could do a toddler bed but we'd rather not bother as long as he's fine with the crib, which he is. :-)
The humidity is ***awful***. I hate it. Just have to deal with it somehow (workouts early, when at least it's cooler; indoors; just dripping & living with it; or, my apparent favorite, taking another rest day...). |

| cmpbllv: | Oooh, the big bed! Go, Max! Anna had one of those beds that converted, so she had a toddler bed...until we needed the crib again, so we got her a big girl bed. It's a captain's bed, with drawers and another trundle bed underneath (we need the space), although that ended up so high that she's just sleeping in the trundle right now. She falls out on (very) rare occasion...just scares her though, doesn't seem to cause any lasting damage.
I'm not looking forward to returning to the humidity. I was actually cold in shorts and a t-shirt this morning (Bay Area)...and it'll cool down in time for Tapio and the rest of the BAOC crew to kill me off on the hills. Only thing keeping me from vegging out in front of the TV instead is knowing they'll be waiting! That, and I just got the schedule for my summer assignment - 6 to 6 every day for a month following cadets around in the woods. So much for the good training I've done this month! |

| peggyd: | Wow, does that sound like fun! (not...)
Max had to sleep with me in a big bed when we got a hotel for the Highlander last year and, bizarrely, they didn't have cribs. He fell out in the middle of the night. He was okay, but we both still remember it. Jon Torrance (in the other bed) probably does, too. |

| cmpbllv: | Nothing like hearing that "thud" (followed by the pathetic wail of a sleepy kid) - and amazing how parents can hear that thud from rooms away, deep in sleep!
;-) |

| Cristina: | I fell off of a top bunk once when I was a kid and my dad heard (and woke up to) the "thump" from the other side of the house. He came running, but somehow I had landed on my feet, so by the time he arrived I was already climbing back up! |
