Extreme Veteran  652   |  Subject: RE: Left.Right.Repeat - CLoSED for the season - will reopen Jan 2013Congratulations Carolyn you did it! I was watching you all day yesterday. I hope you enjoyed yourself. Ann, I think I ordered 6 different wetsuits trying to find one that fits. (Thank goodness they had free shipping). Those measurements that the websites gives you are also all wrong, at least for me. I finally got one that fits and it works okay. Since they were full sleeves you should have seen me trying to determine which one fits the best. I bought my sleeveless in a store and I really think that is the best for you so you can try the different sizes on. |

Expert 925 Chicagoland | Subject: RE: Left.Right.Repeat - CLoSED for the season - will reopen Jan 2013 Originally posted by mav Marianne, hi! long time no see I have found a lake I can swim in that is 3 miles from my house. I have never tried to go there before because there is no "public access. But after driving around it I found a small gravel path which I can walk. I met a scuba diver who said the residents wont care if AI swim as long as I use the path. This is so awesome because there are very few boats and it is .5 miles long. The huge time suck of driving to swim is over!!!! I know, i know.. i'm back! That sounds ridiculously awesome! The lake I use is about 10-12 miles from my house and is 500 yards across, which I find perfect. 4 lengths, bam bam, 2000 yards done! How fun that it's so close. I bet if you go at 5-5:30, no boats and will be a most awesome swim! FUN! |

Expert 925 Chicagoland | Subject: RE: Left.Right.Repeat - CLoSED for the season - will reopen Jan 2013 Originally posted by avisser Hi Ann CB Have a great race! Pace yourself and stay on top of your nutrition. Have fun!! You are an incredible inspiration. I also can't imagine 54 mph on my bike. I brake when I hit 30. Welcome back Mav!! It's great to see people online again. Lou, keep on keepin on. You will only get stronger. I too hope Lena is out there. Maybe she is busy baking away. First big race is coming up for me. June 1st, Rev in CT. Oly distance with mega hills, by my standards. Did it for the first time last year in the pouring rain. So I figure I have to do better if I'm not braking all the time. I'm just worried about the cold water. It was pouring last year but the water was warm. We have had a cold spring here in the Northeast. I haven't even done an OWS yet. Trying to borrow a long sleeve wet suit. Mine is sleeveless. Brrrr! Be well every one! ann I *have* been baking hehe! My kids keep having birthdays, what can you do?? here is the latest couple ones Nikita's 7th birthday (have I posted this one before? i have been gone so long I can't remember!).. he wanted a Lego Ninjago cake:  This one I made for our post Chicago-marathon season end celebration with my running group:  This one was from a couple of weeks ago when my baby turned 4!

Expert 925 Chicagoland | Subject: RE: Left.Right.Repeat - CLoSED for the season - will reopen Jan 2013 Originally posted by elcaminobill Hello to all. I said last week or so that I signed up for Augusta 70.3. I also have a very good buddy that is signed up as well and is committed to me finishing in under 6 hours. He says that his goal is that even before his finish time, so we will see how that goes!
Little Caesar's Pizza! Most of the older people remember me saying that we were opening a Little Caesar's Pizza? Well it is open as of last Tuesday and it is going very well. If ever in south Mississippi, I will treat you to a Hot n Ready Deep Deep Dish! Really good recovery food!
I will try to be more active on the site. I have noticed that the conversations have been to serious with not sarcasim inserted. I have been falling down on my job! I promise to do better. Now, where is my little rushkie? First, congrats on getting the Little Ceasar's going! Hope it's a very long-lived and successful venture! Secondly, no sarcasm = bad. Agreed! No worries, I'm sure you will remedy the situation I'm now fully realizing how much I missed this group. |

My daughter is going back to school. good to hear things are going so great!!! Jealous about the bike! Pics? Don't know if you posted before and I missed while in lala land, but hey, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to repost pics of a new beauty ? Jealous on the IMAZ front, too! I decided against a HIM this year (too much time and money as a commitment) and I tell you, I am already itching to do one and get really sad when I see other people's plans! So i guess the bug was just sleeping, and now is waking up oh well, it's all good. I purposely made this a lighter year for me (still doing Chicago marathon, a tri and a couple half-marys) and will focus on running speed. I will see that 27 min 5K if it kills me! Next year, though, for sure I'll do a HIM. Hoping for a full Ironman within 3-4 years. ok, so, about them pics let me live through you |

Veteran 161 Long Island Gold member | Subject: RE: Left.Right.Repeat - CLoSED for the season - will reopen Jan i Hey Lena!! So good to see you. I'm beat at the moment so can't catchup much. Just baked 3 types of cookies, 2 double batches for my sister's son's HS grad party. It's like Christmas in June. Had to take a second rest day to get this baking done and will have to pull a double work out tomorrow. Has any one seen CB post since her HIM? Maybe I didn't go back far enough? This new site is messing me up. Where are the PMs?? I PM'd a coach and don't know if he replied. Hugs, ann |
