    So...not sure i need to let the whole world know my business, but oh well.

    i have set a personal goal that needs to be met by June 2011.  IF said goal is reached, i am going to reward myself with a weekend with my fellow Chasers at Harrah's.  It was the only thing i could think of that if i did not get that reward, i would be sorely disappointed.  So please feel free to bug, nag, threaten, bully or whatever it might take to keep me on the straight and narrow. 

    So here we go!  WHOOT!!

    Happy 2011!!!

@Terry, i just got a new pair...have the blister to prove it...still breaking them in. i figure if i increase by three miles a month, i can get to 60 in time for the 2012 walk. i hope! Thanks for the encouragement!

Laura, first off, congrats on your Jan, Feb and March goals so far. I am so proud of what you are accomplishing. Keep it up for April as well. If you need a kick in the pants, we are here to do that for you!

The Susan G Komen walk is a fabulous cause and I think you can do it. You will be with so many other people that each day your 15 or 20 miles will go by like nothing. And if you do 3-4 miles now, it definately is a do-able goal for you. Hope you got great sneakers! Lots of luck and love coming your way!

Thus far i have met Jan, Feb and March goal and am still working on April's goal. ALSO, i am setting a new one, kinda of different.

i think i want to walk in the Susan G Komen walk next year..60 miles in three days (walking). SO i have a new goal to be albe to walk (at a continued brisk pace) 15 miles by the end of August. At present i do between 3 and 4. Does that seem like a do-able goal? Four months to get up to 15 miles? Hm...any thoughts, feedback..?

Laura, good for you! "You go girl"!!!

No more Love Threads for you girl! I like the flogging idea. Get on the bandwagon. Wednesday next week it is!! No slacking!! Love ya!!

laura_9's picture

Well i did not make Feb goal...thankfully only by a wee bit but still.

i should be publicly flogged.

However, since that went out in the 80's and is no longer the hip way to do things, i shall just buckle down and reach it by Wednesday of next week. That is a promise.

I know you are so close - you can do it girl, you can do it!!!

DottieK's picture

Judy d's picture

So you want high kicks and pom poms? Get moving and earn them!!! I REALLY want to meet you in AC and I do not handle disappointment well ;( Grrrrrr

laura_9's picture

Terry_4's picture

laura_9's picture

Laura, good to hear you are back on track. I just love how you identified each guy with a "love" interest. You are so right about all of them.

Started shopping for my trip - need some new clothes to bring. Feeling a little more accomplished. Your bad news? What happened?

Hopefully I will be at the same show with you and fellow chaser thissummer so hop to it :)

DottieK's picture

Glad to hear you are back on track! You'd better be!

laura_9's picture

oh! So sorry. i got so involved in Walter's beard, Ryan's voice. Randy's dimples, Tyler's feet, Seggie's dance moves, Don's baby face, Charlie's grinch solo, Jerome's split, Michael's eyes and Dave's groove that i forgot all about this discussion.

But i am doing well. Got off track for a day due to some bad personal news but i am back on goal and doing well. So far, so good!

How are you with the Bowlers US Open???

Terry_4's picture

No word from Laura yet - are you just "withering" away to nothing???

Terry_4's picture

Well, Laura - it has been almost a week since we last spoke. How are things going with you?
I am trying to get ready to go next week to the Professional Bowlers Tour US Open in New Brunswick, NJ (anyone know the area??). Haven't done a thing yet. Need to start thinking about packing and shopping and have totally been putting it off.

I plan on wearing a Straight No Chaser t-shirt during the PBA live TV event. Hopefully I can get a picture to post here on the site. Keep trying to show support where ever I go!

Let's give each other a "kick in the pants", because I really need it right about now!!

DottieK's picture

Laura, glad to hear about the shoveling! Let the imagine of (dark melted chocolate?) spur you on! (Among other things...lol)

DaisyKary's picture

You better not be slacking off!!
*soupnazivoice* No melted dark chocolate for you!!

Nicole A.'s picture

Pom poms, and high kicks, and turns? Oh my! I will be joining you in that, by the way. BUT FIRST YOU HAVE TO REACH YOUR GOAL SO WE CAN MEET IN AC!!!!

Oh my goodness. Why I just intimidating? #squee

laura_9's picture

LOL i dont care, i just dont want to say something too over the top...and i was thinking about melted dark chocolate and....well...you can guess the rest! LOL

Terry_4's picture

So sorry about the food reference on the Randy Love Thread - just got carried away!!

laura_9's picture

yes! this month is going well...so far! lol
spent four hours today shoveling ice and slush because our street and sidewalks were being flooded with the melting snow/icey rain. my arms still feel like jelly! LOL it was great exercise though and about 10 neighbors joined in so it was fun. We opened the storm drain (was covered with snow) and did the whole street. That stuff is HEAVY. Who needs the gym? Just shovel...and shovel...and shovel.!

Thank you for keeping tabs. I WANT TO GO TO AC! I have Pom Poms to bring and high kicks to do and tables to turn over and general ruckus and fun! YAYYYYY

Terry_4's picture

So, Laura, how goes the battle? Today was an extremely hard day, being stuck in the house all day long. We only got a few more inches of snow last night/today but the ice on top of it was brutal. Today was my one day off and I got absolutely nothing accomplished. Hope you are doing better?

laura_9's picture

that was hilarious!!!!

Terry_4's picture

Oh, PLEASE don't do that to us Judy - ha ha.
Everything is frozen around here.
Get 'em Laura - thanks Judy!

Judy d's picture

Roses are cold, violets are frozen. Get off your butt, there's no time for dozin'

If you start slacking off, I'll write more rhymes (N-O-O-O-O!!!)
