Javalina Jundred
No, I'm not doing a 100 miler this year, as much as I'd like to :) I'm so very excited because Olga is coming to Arizona again, yay! I think we'll have a blast crewing/pacing at Javalina Jundred. Now if only we can get Rob out here...
How hot is it? Crazy Hot! (this is Johnny. I think I wrote my post in a confusing way and/or people aren't reading it all the way. 91 degrees is not hot here; it's been over 100 almost every day for a couple of months now. I'm trying to say that our tap water runs at 91 degrees in the summer. I didn't think many people would know that.)
Congrats to ultrachick Nattie for being my 10,000th visitor. I'm so glad it wasn't a spammer or someone googling obscene phrases :)
I'm ready to get out and walk this weekend. I'm also starting to get my food groove on. Making healthier choices, and noticing the feeling of satisfaction that comes from a day of healthy eating.
And to mark the end of my recovery and beginning of training for OP50, I am throwing a "hello" party - to say hello to all those foods I couldn't eat for so long!

Yay! Eating healthy, ready to move. Good deal! When did the doc say you could run again?

I am excited, and I want to come for the party!!! I will bring pirogies and manty and pelmeni...

I wish I could attend the party and I wish I could be there for JJ100. I told Olga though that even if we held a fundraiser my wife probably would not let me go and we all know who is in charge of the household.

That's a great idea for a party. Enjoy!

What a great party idea. Perfect for your situation...and such a good excuse. Have fun on your walk. I'm jealous.

What a cute party idea!!!!
I would bring cheese dip!!

Yummy food! But I was thinking that y'all could join us in a remote party type thing. Olga can eat pirogis, Rob can eat a lot (like me;)) and anyone can just come over comment about their dish and how much they're enjoying the party! BTW Rob, if you guys are like us, then the kids are in charge of the household, right?

Sounds like you are definitely heading the right direction!

i'm in for the virtual shove-it-in-as-fast-as-you-can weekend party! :-) i'll be in charge of the ice cream department, thank you very much. your walking plans sound good. i'll join you in spirit, as i'm not sure my bummed knee will allow me to do much this weekend. (of course i'm still hoping...)

I've been scarfing down the ice cream since the surgery. I still have some problems with it (I'm lactose intolerant) but nowhere near the pain. So I grin and bear it. Bring on the Coldstone!!

I'm training to eat some ice cream! Wuhu! It might take months but I can do it.

I guess I should quit complaining about the heat here! We were blessed this morning w/65 degree weather - but it was POURING....We had been in the high 90s and hit the 100s over the last week.

Hi Angie. I for one, do not understand your heat as I suspect you don't understand my cold. It's all relative I suppose.
I liked your stop'n'pause moment that you scripted on my blog. Awesome! I love it. Thanks.

What a fun idea for a party.

Girl....count me in with chips and a dip that is soooo thick it doesnt drip, and sits in your stomach begging for more. Bet you can't eat just one!! And you shouldn't--a whole bag to celebrate!!
Woohoo....life is good!
Posted by: Lora | July 23, 2006 04:16 AM
I'll eat some queso and chips for you!

Yes, the kids are definitely in charge of the household.
