BT folks are in a class of their own.

We should start web site where people can get together to talk about working out and stuff!

I hear ya and just wanted to say, I enjoy reading your posts.

Now what are you doing for a workout tomorrow?

I hate spending time on the ouch.

That's a great idea!

I have been hitting some weights. Maybe we should talk about strength training. I have seen this program called Cross fit. Seems intersting... maybe we should discuss.

Enjoy reading many of your posts pman!  I'm with you on the legalization of weed.  It's been somewhat longer for me since I have stopped.  In fact, I think it goes back to when I was paying member of the Sierra Club (I have not always been as conservative as I am today).

Hey, we need to do something about getting you off the couch.  There are far too many endurance events in Colorado to not be thinking about an early season century or triathlon.  Let me know if you would like any suggestions.

It's been posted here before...... it's just one of my favorites.

You have NO idea.....

I have really been kicking myself because Fall was so spectacularly awesome for running and I have pretty much done none. I have been kicking some ideas around, but I really do not know what I'm doing this year. I will probably be going back to days and will probably sign up for another Boulder 70.3. But a friend is doing some trail series... 7 HM trail runs?... considering. Might join the wife at Ferrel's just to do something together. Wanted to do Triple Bypass again... lot's of "ideas"... not much committment. My schedule being up in the air is a small part of the problem though.

Hold on brb, gotta get a beer and some popcorn,,,,, it's a little early, but wth, it's the Holidays.

I've had too many discussions with my husband that start: "So, there's this thread on BT...".  It's kind of silly, really.

I wish that all of the discussions were as nice and respectful as what you said.  I hope that everyone can remember this when you (the global you)  want to reply with "What planet are you living on that you can think that?" (or similar)  Guess what, I actually believe what I am typing and I am living on Earth right here with ya.  Yes, there are different perspectives. 

I personally have learned a lot, although it mostly confirms that I am right    I only respond about 15% of the time since I am usually treated in this manner when I finally have the guts to try to say something. I am not a good debater and it's frustrating to be treated like I'm a ninny when I do try. 

So yes, party on good people and GO WORK OUT!

Whenever I tell mrs gearboy about whatever I am talking about on the BT boards, she asks "Don't they ever post anything about triathlon?"

Find 30 mins for a run or bike

Stealing this idea from another site but what about starting up a COJ Workout Challenge,,,, 30 minutes of some type of exercise a day as a goal till say 2/14/2012. Anyone know how to set up a challenge like this in BT?

PM - on the tri board we have a "30 runs in 30 days" challenge thread going.  The minimum run is 2 miles or 20 minutes.  It's been a good motivator for some folks.  I'm currently at 108 days of consecutive running and there's a guy on there who is right at 400 days, with quite a few other streaks going.

It only takes 20 minutes a day (if you stay at the minimum) and you'll be surprised how fast the miles pile up.

you could do it Tony...even if you are a flatlander!  Long rides where there is a lot of ascending and descending are easier than a long flat ride, imo.  It's slower...but easier.  If not TBP...Copper Triangle goes over 3-passess (Freemont, Tennessee, and Vail over about 80-miles.  Somewhat easier but just a scenic.

In the "Challenge Me" forum. I did one for Trainer Road. I'm in.

Triple Bypass really is an awesome ride. It's just cool. Just a long day in the sadle, but plenty of support. And here in the states, the grades are not steep, just long.

SQUIRREL!
