Yes hot as hades in my office too. I feel like I'm sweating constantly...at least it helps me lose weight :-p

Well I finally signed up for the Chicago Half-Marathon this September, and my hard-core training starts next week. Looking forward to it, but at the same time it will be a lot of hard work. At least I've enlisted Nicky to be my coach on some of my workouts where he times me :-)

Good luck with the move Poiteen!

Have fun with the training, Ginger. I am debating a half marathon myself. Although I may just do a 5k - I know I can actually run 5k without stopping or passing out, lol.

Morning all, time for coffee and toast. Boxes being picked up in an hour, and our cable, internet and phone being cut off soon too. So see you all in a few days!!

Have fun!! Try and sneak a coffee table into your stuff to be shipped so if it all turns up here...

Visa just arrived!

I've got a feeling this has been asked before but my head is all over the place at the moment, trying to throw everything into cardboard boxes. Do I need to take this enormous x-ray in my hand luggage? I don't think it'd fit in my bag without bending.

I took mine folded in half just in case cause I preferred to have it and not get asked for it than the other way around I didn't get asked for mine

I can't imagine even contemplating running in this weather Swimming is ok though

Hmm, ok! Perhaps I'll kinda roll it around the inside edge of the hand luggage so it's not proper bent, per se.

Just booked my flight for next Thursday. Sorry for the running commentary, excited! ><

Hahaha - I bet the next week will drag! I know it seemed to take forzever while I was waiting then when it was there it seemed like it had all happened so fast - I still can't quite believe that I made it here... it's crazy!

Just been out having the last meal!!! Fancy sausages and mash for me Went on the London eye for the first time, and pretty much caught the dusk setting in around 9. I have to admit, I got a bit weepy for the first time. Wandered along the south bank, watched some mad outdoor performance put on by the national theatre, but outside it, got a big red bus home.

Now have to do washing up, and will have to do some hoovering and cleaning either tonight or tomorrow. But by noon, gotta be on the way to Stanstead. xxx

P.S. Thank you so much Aly for saving my bacon. xxx

[Jeraly 4]

Aww hun - weepy is.. ok it's not normal... I figured I was normal with the mass hysteria that set in about two weeks (and then some) prior to my move

And you don't want me to save bacon for you - they only get the fake streaky stuff here

good friday morning everyone! :dance:

[no name 1]

I got called in for stupid $^@&@$(^@$&^!%# jury duty today - and have to report by 7:30 AM. I have ot leave my house by 6:15.

It's not right.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

hmmm, everyone I know in this town gets called for Jury Duty, yet I have never been called.

[*julez* 124]

I've been called for jury duty 3 time so far! I never get picked though. Its either been insurance cases, which I previously worked in insurance and one was an arson case ans since my dad is a retired fire fighter they said I'd know too much about fire. I always enjoy getting away from work for a few days.

Jury duty would be interesting if it wasn't such a pain in the butt with work and compensation.

I tend to run either early in the morning or in the evening when it isn't so blazin' hot. If not my workplace has a gym in the basement and I'll just run on the dreadmill or eliptical for a while...it's not much better as it isn't terribly well ventilated but at least I'm out of the direct sun.

Most 5K races are fun...there is an Elvis is Alive! 5K coming up here soon, where people dress as young fit/old fat Elvis or Priscilla.
