Hot running (newish) Momma's thread...

[JLA]

we're free weekends in june.

i could host a "baby GTG" before that though - next tuesday afternoon or wednesday morning works well for me (although, i'm trying to redeem my mother's day pedicure - hopefully I'll know tomorrow when it is....)

We'd be in for that!

Us too, I think! (Assuming by "baby" you meant "mini," not "no toddlers, please!") A is in daycare Tues but we could do Weds am, assuming that jibes with pedicure timing. For the "big" gtg, maybe we aim for the first weekend in June?

jes, MCM is Oct 31, so a bit before Hamilton. I'm glad to hear I have a support group of fellow lunatics, but right now I'm tired just thinking about it!

On an unrelated note, DH is putting together A's Fisher Price farm downstairs, and it sounds like a freaking construction site down there. Seriously, what is with kids' toys that require an engineering degree and power tools?

[jes]

I think IG just meant that we could do it during the week when those of us on mat leave are free! I don't think she was excluding anyone

I think the first weekend of June is free, but I'll have to check with Joe about the Zoom schedule (I'm trying to shoot a few events this summer).

we'll try to get that pedicure apt. for tuesday then!

Let's say Wednesday May 25th - at my place. we have gymboree at 12:15 if Dexter is awake - so, i'll kick you out at 12 - again, if dexter is awake. i will supply coffee, but, i don't do very good at supplying baked goods, so, i can't guarantee much in the way of food.....you can arrive any time after 9.

Perfect! I have to get Alex home to nap by noonish anyway. I will bring the baked (not by me) goodies. Thanks for hosting, IG!

Am I the first lunatic for the fall? I am at the stage where finishing a marathon seems so difficult right now. I am looking forward to the me time that the runs will give me but I'm only up to an hour now and running another 3+ after that seems like a lot. And let's not mention the A goal I'm actually working towards.

Owen wants new parents?? That's a riot!

Jealous of your GTG.

[geobandito]

Race was fine; totally uneventful honestly. It was a PB on a half course (I am pretty sure I ran a 1:48 the last half of the marathon I BQd in), so I will say it is my half PB...1:49:35. It also showed me I have a faster marathon in me, which I kind of secretly knew.

Lightning, that's fantastic! Despite being so uneventful.

.... wanting to invite myself to the big baby/toddler M&G .... can supply baked goods.... just sayin' ...

[scrumhalfgirl]

Unfortunately, we have an appointment at CHEO next Wednesday morning, so I don't think we'll be able to make it. Next time! C's got the busiest schedule in the house!

You;re more than welcome to come....and Marg too if she's around. Hmmm... I should probably mention this to Joe at some point!

Yah, we need Hot Running Marg too! The more the merrier to help wrangle the older ones Oh, Amelia will help you find out if your basement is babyproofed in about 10 sec flat.

[AndyM]

Oh and congrats Lightning on the half! I did some quick math when you mentioned your PB goal of 1:50 and couldn't figure out how you qualified for Boston...me thinks you are pretty quick and probably do have a faster marathon (and half) in you...from someone who aspires to be that fast .

Woo hoo! *note to self, creep the HRM thread more often*

Come on by anytime! Do you have plans on Monday? We could do a playdate if you're free!

Lightning, how did 'sauga go?

I miss the GTA(ish) mommies and babies...should have another maniac baby gathering soon

Agreed!! Although I assume that since some of you are working now, we'll have to do an evening or weekend. I'm happy to host if you ladies and babies want to come over. What timing generally works for you ladies?

[pts]

Hmmm, I am free next wednesday I think. do I have time to get to Ottawa and back before daycare pick-up?

I am so inspired by you racers and planning-on-it racing mommas

This weekend I am going to try to run again, we will see how it goes! I have to do something to control my eating though, I am starving non-stop and just stuffing my face

Agreed +1. The summer gets crazy on the weekend, but if we all plan in advance I bet we could find a weekend date!

Kristi- want to do a 'toddler terror' playdate on a thursday sometime soon? We could head there or you could head here. Does T still nap in the pm?

He does still nap but we can work around it. If you want to come here one afternoon, we have a new inflatable bouncy castle for the backyard so the children can terrorize each other out there while we drink iced tea on the deck. Or we are happy to come there too depending on how you feel about travelling with the two little ones.

Me too (starving, not running!), and my portions are out of control. I have another 2 weeks before I really start to worry about it, though

Will send PM! Oh, and morning works well for us, if that does for you. Or, is that your gym time?

Evenings wouldn't work for us. June weekends are open for us so far, except for Father's day weekend.
