Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! (Page 11)

I did...   0.5 miles from the car to the movie entrance and back under the rain to see the movie spirit of the marathon...   

BOB.... and people think I'M weird???

hey BAAAAABS, I went swimming with Mr RKreuser, we discussed you and your techniques, threw them all out the window and I set a PR....KIDDING!!  he helped me using your advice...I swam....and I didn't have zoomers on 

WOOP! WOOP! Way to go Trix!!!!! 

Nice Trixie...  

woohoo!!!   So are zilla's boobies... hummm   Nice? 

I was in BT chat and they were discussing them...  a LOT...  so i got curious...   

Say hi if she is in town...  

 Nice run today trixie...

Ok Boobies aside..I NEEDS me a Training Plan.  Here's what I got:

1/2 Mary in 14 weeks (3 hrs)  May 4

Century Ride in 21 weeks (until Sunsets) June 21

Possible HIM in 24 weeks (8 Hrs) July 13

I have smaller races sprinkled in such as 5k's/10k's/ and Sprints..but these 3 are my 1st Half A races.

All my goals are just to finish under the allotted time limits

Now I suck at everything, but if I had to rank them with weakness first it would be:

Run

Bike

Swim

I guess I could grab a 20 week HIM Plan and switch out some swims in favor of some runs?  Any thoughts?

Last I saw he was advocating crappin' in the woods.

Did some one call a mentor? Trix, that's the first time I have ever heard anyone refer to their hamstrings as "sticks". Great run yesterday, are your legs a bit sore from thawing out?

What can I do for you Trix? I am here for you!!!! 

Hello...

 I don't know who Zilla is and I couldn't find a picture so I can't add to the boobies commetns:-)

My week was great until I ate 10+ oatmeal cookies today...maybe 15! Seriously.  Then I wonder why I can't lose weight. I'd been doing so good! Once I start I just keep going. I love the cheap oatmeal with frosty cookies! I just put the empty package in the garbarge and noticed that 2 cookies is 150 calories, 5 grams of fat...yikes1

I skipped my workouts today after spending the night out of town last minute Sat. Thus...today was my day off and tomorrow I will do my workout from today.

Bob - that's great you cut your commute! I hate commuting..I work from home sometimes and it's amazing how much differenc that 1 hour makes when you get it back.

Have a great week....

 My goal for the week: EAT Clean! No meltdowns with chocolate and oatmeal cookies!

 Tdog

Second week of Ironman training went well.   I am handling things well...    I decided not to get a coach since all the people I talked to wanted me to stop running ultras so I can concentrate in a real training program..    I said, NO...  I really enjoy doing ultras and I would like to integrate that with my IM training and of course they said NO.    So, I am integating them into my program,  I love running trails and the longer the better, so I guess I am doing this second IM on my own,  no coaching involved.. 

I met my goals for last week...   wohoo...

 This weeks goals...  Swim 10,000 yards

Bike at least 4 hours (trainer and spinning)

Run.... run the Woodside 50K on Saturday...  

What are you guys doing this week? 

I love oatmeal raison cookies myself!  I had a situation last friday nigh when i was shopping for my dinner party.  I stood in front of the cookie dough display for at least 3 minutes.  I even picked one of the packages up but put it back.  It was hard to leave it behind.  I was impressed with myself because just a couple of weeks ago I did get the package. 

What is everone doing this week?  I am going to start swimming again. Once last week really made me realize  I just can't stop and start swimming just because I did an IM last November.

Wow..you're stronger than me!!  Actually wife and I went out last night and restaurant was out of certain dessert so I opted for Cold Stone Creamery on way home..well they were closed.  A good sign right?  Now I am sitting here thinking about how to spend those calories I didn't use yesterday!  So, I can walk away...just not forever..YET.  Oh yeah...Lookke I did today..ALL before Noon:  (Oh well, those litle Icon Dudes didn't survive the C&P procedure).

14m 600.00 yards -----

1h 00m 16.00 miles -----

40m 3.48miles -----

Great job TIM!

Bob toots his own horn enough.. so I thought I would YANK a bit for him.  This is from his LOG.
Way to go B.O.B!!

Fixed that for you....Bob was the race Downhill?   Congrats,  an actual running award.

I wanted to show where he was compared to the other immortals.    He's even more impressive.
