Hahaha

You guys are never going to let me forget that, are you?

-Girls: Thought of you the whole way, especially Dee's promise...... Oh Beth....LOL

I'm not one to break one of Dee's promises - so, as promised - here are my pom poms

front side

 

Oh, so THOSE are your pom poms..... LOL - I had no idea what you were going to post. Probably because I wasn't exactly sure how to define "pom poms." I see you really DID mean it literally though! So........ Are those YOUR pom poms? As in - the ones you keep in your closet and break out for "special events" like cheering teammates on? LOL Great poms, btw!

Bethie... would you mind cheering for me?

brynn - 2007-11-11 3:17 PM Guys, I am not sure where to post my results--in this thread, or in the main thread? Also my foot has been hurting and I haven't been running as much (it is really making me mad and I have no idea what is going on because it is not consistent at all) so I am thinking I may need to adjust my goals? Not sure how I do that, if I decide that I need to. Swim: Goal 3000 yards, done 650: 21.6% (hoping to get swim in today, but not sure if that will happen or not) Run: Goal 60 miles, done 14: 23% (maybe I will get a quick run in today too) Trainer ride: Done! 100% complete Was at the Huskers game ALL DAY yesterday (seriously, Husker fans are insane and show up at 8 in the morning to tailgate) and so I had no time to get anything accomplished. Go Big Red!
Yes, post your weekly progress here. Beth, as the team captain, gets to compile them. (Then she'll post the completed spreadsheet on the main thread. I'll pick it up from there, and compile all the teams' info.) Revising your goals: You must file 3 copies of the request. Each must be notarized and signed by your boss, your doctor and at least two neighbors.... Alternatively, you can plead your case with me. With sufficient bribery, I might agree to modify your goals.

Now, do I have those notarized before or after my boss signs?  ROTFLMAO!

Ribbons? I've caught up to page 64, and have read from 84 on, but now I'm curious. Ribbons? Hot dates? Pom Poms?

Note to self, don't take a vacation from BT. You'll spend a week just trying to get caught up.


Here are the cliff notes:

Yanti had a hot date. Cat and Beth dressed her.

Yanti's new BF also helped by tying her up.

Later, he helped by untying her.

In the meantime, Hector had a race planned, and Dee said that if he ran really well, that Beth might show him her pom poms.

OK, you're up to speed now.... Um, more or less. LOL

1/2 Marathon Completed!!!!!!!!! 2:16:51 by my garmin

It was a perfect day for my first race, the sun was shining and there was a cool breeze. I realized as I started running that my pre-race meal was non-existent and that the taco's and cheese cake the night before were probably not a good idea. Good thing they were handing out gel's and water or it would have been otherwise painful. The first 8 miles were slow and easy at around and average of 9:30's roughly but the rest of the pace decreased after mile 8. After mile 8 my pace was in the 10 per mile and above, not so hot. Mile 10 thru 12 were really rough and I almost stopped to stretch but realized it would be more painful to do so, so I stuck it out to the 12 mile marker were I finally brought up the pace. So far i'm just a bit sore but otherwise ok. time to relax.

Before I forget, i thought you would enjoy this. As i was running i was thinking about our conversation, yes I had BT on the brain.

-Sparco: I tried to follow your advice but realized that I didn't do that well, it's obvious i will be able to take advantage of that advice with more training, but I did kick it up towards the end.

-Spokes: I know this is a regular Sunday run for you but it's nice to say that I came close to one of your runs.

-Girls: Thought of you the whole way, especially Dee's promise...... Oh Beth....LOL

-Somebody said somthing about pace booty about 30 pages back, yes I latched on to one and followed but there were so many that I kept changing, an un-decisive booty pacer is what I became...LMAO....However i finally caught the original booty and chased it to the finish line. I almost thanked her but I probably would have gotten slapped.

It's time for a nap as I am tired after a burrito and a couple of beers, but I think I'll take myself out later Thanks everyone for the motivation.



CONGRATULATIONS! That was a FANTASTIC run!

Great race! And look! Beth is waving her pom poms! LOL

tnickerson - 2007-11-11 12:12 PM I'm in good shape to hit goal, although I'm going to have to work to get the bike goal completed before I leave on vacation next Monday.
Yeah, I have the same issue. It looks like I'm on target -- BUT, I'll have to log some good biking milage this week, because I won't be able to do that during Thanksgiving. Cool - from the numbers being posted -- it looks like everyone has been working hard this month. Do you think Hector is running right now? (It's about 9 AM in CA....) Run, Hector, Run!


Yes we have worked hard! And people thought we were sitting here playing on twisnibbin all day. We MULTITASK! Wish I could figure out a way to rig my computer up to the trainer and treadmill.


Be careful what you ask for....

There was a group of overweight kids who watched a lot of TV and didn't exercise....

So someone came up with this idea to hook the TV set to a stationary bike. The TV was powered by the energy supplied by the bike. So the TV would only stay on while the kids were pedaling. If they stopped, the TV turned off.

Can you just imagine if they did that to us? We'd have to run and pedal to chat on BT? Ahhhh! My legs would give out.

Yeah, you gotta watch those cliff notes though. Sometimes, they kind of gloss over details (or miss them completely!).

I know a couple of BTers who have their bike trainer set up so they can be on BT and riding at the same time... something abut setting the keyboard up on the aero bars or something...

I think it would be so cool to be able to power appliances through the power generated on the treadmill or trainer.  Just think of all those training hours that could be put to good use...

Zipp - and congratulations on your race results too! Great job!

Thanks, Dee.  The strange thing is I thought last year that I went out fast. I remember getting a bad stitch in my side around the 4th mile and having to really work to keep up.  This year I felt like a lead weight all the way through...felt every little thing "wrong" with the run but had the better time (if 12 seconds count--I'll take them).  Looking over the schedule for next season which will include a half mary in mid March, a 10 K in early April, hopefully n OLY in June or July, HIM in Sept, 10 K in Oct, full mary next Nov.  Definitely suicide by running. Runner Bill will be selling LOTS of gear to this kid

Announcing the Twisnibbins Thread Freeze Competition!

In just 7 1/2 pages, this thread will probably freeze.

f you're trying to write a post, and the thread freezes.... What happens to your post? Does it fall into the black hole of BT?

And... any bets on who the unlucky poster will be?

PLACE YOUR BETS NOW!

(Personally, my vote is for Beth. Reasoning: 7 1/2 pages will probably happen tomorrow. I can't always BT from work. But you-know-who can. Therefore.....)

zipp1 - 2007-11-11 6:34 PM Congratulations, Hector on an awesome half mary!! YOU ROCK
Zipp - and congratulations on your race results too! Great job!

Thanks, Dee. The strange thing is I thought last year that I went out fast. I remember getting a bad stitch in my side around the 4th mile and having to really work to keep up. This year I felt like a lead weight all the way through...felt every little thing "wrong" with the run but had the better time (if 12 seconds count--I'll take them). Looking over the schedule for next season which will include a half mary in mid March, a 10 K in early April, hopefully n OLY in June or July, HIM in Sept, 10 K in Oct, full mary next Nov. Definitely suicide by running. Runner Bill will be selling LOTS of gear to this kid



I read your RR.

So.... if you ran this well while feeling like a lead weight, imagine how you would have done if you'd felt better!

I'm thinking lots of PRs will be coming your way soon!

Ambitious schedule for next year! I'm thinking that you like running! You'll have to keep us up to date as the season progresses!
