CONGRATULATIONS!!! You got through it, and that is an incredible accomplishment in those kinds of conditions. Good for you.  Hope you had a nice post-race treat for yourself!

I know! The race directors ended up stopping the race early, so it's just as well I didn't get there in time. Although I would have gotten the medal at least.  I don't know if it was the 10 mile mark for the leaders, or the 10 mile mark for the friend of a friend, but from what I understand it was called before anyone finished the full (although there may have been 1/2 marathon finishers, I'm not positive about that).
I saw somewhere online this morning that Ike was considered a tropical depression - while it was dumping rain on St. Louis. That made me chuckle, a tropical anything in the middle of the country! By the afternoon it was gorgeous and sunny here, it moved through that quickly. There was a lot of road flooding, and the race was right by a river in bottom lands, so my guess is they had to stop it early because of flooding, rather than the deluge of rain still coming down.

I have been working out on the elliptical for 30 minutes at a time recently. I always do the aerobics trainer program, and I end up going 2.5 miles and burning 400 calories in one workout. Last week, I did this for 5 days in a row and stopped snacking in between meals. As a result, I have lost a complete dress size in the past week

^^^Wooow. That's AWESOME! Me next, me next!
I had skating practice for an hour today. Tomorrow, I'm determined to get re-acquainted with Mr. Elliptical.

Went for a bike ride. I'll do cardio for an hour then meet with my oh-so-hot trainer.

Good for you! I wish I could run a half marathon. I am training for my first one in January. I just can't seem to get past 7 miles. I get bored.
Ran 3 miles last night then sprints with trainer this AM.

30 minutes of racquetball (not so good) followed by an hour of heavy lifting in the weight room (very good!)

Stationary bike + weights. Home gym = no excuses.

2 mile run. Awesome weather today- yesterday and today it finally is starting to feel like fall is coming.

My very first advanced pilates class. I'll be feeling this one tomorrow.
Also, looking for advice...over the summer I was able to work out nearly every day and became the most toned I've ever been. With grad school starting up again, I haven't had nearly as much time. Does anyone have any advice for maintenance and staying toned with workouts only a few days a week?

60 laps. Toward the end of practice we did 30 x 50m with about 5 seconds rest between each. Very intense, but very cool.

Ran my regular neighborhood loop with my dog. It takes me up Sheridan Road (right near Lake Michigan), then across on Addison, past Wrigley Field, down and around and back to my apartment. When I jog it, I do feel really lucky to live in Chicago and get to jog past awesome things like the Lake and Wrigley.
I'm not really sure how long the loop is, but it takes me about 50 minutes.

I had my first yoga class today. Totally awesome. Then, I tried to run on the treadmill, but I broke out in hives.  I thought I could get away with it, but I know that I break out when I run. Sucks.

45 minutes of racquetball followed by a 45 minute full body burnout workout.
kchaptergphib- it has been a few years since I was in Chicago but as I remember there are several nice spots on the lake to run- some the nicest I have seen anywhere. I could never move from Texas, but Chicago is really awesome- probably my favorite city outside of Austin.
