Extreme Veteran 624 Spring TX | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Tomorrow is Friday!! Just wanting to wish every a GREAT weekend! Hoping to go to an arts festival along the waterway, get a 5K race in this weekend, and maybe a ride with my DH (if we can manage it with my son's baseball game the same day). The 5k is a trail run and we've had a lot of rain this week, so just waiting to sign up once I check the weather tomorrow. Kind of an odd race, as it starts at 4pm. Last year it was in the morning and they had crawfish nachos, which really didn't sound so good at 9am. I'm thinking that's the reason for the late start. I'm really disappointed that I waited to long to sign up for the tri I wanted to do the first weekend in May, as now it's sold out. I may get on the waitlist or sign up for the Mother's Day tri (mini-sprint) I did last year (which was my first). Last year a front blew through at about 3am and the water was REALLY rough. Might be fun to do it a again for comparison. Keep up the good work, everyone! And I'd hate to disband since I'm just getting to know everyone, and you are all such a supportive group!

I wanted to go riding tomorrow, but they are calling for thunderstorms.Morning everyone. I'm up early, ready to run, and it's raining outside again. And not just a little bit of rain. I was prepared to run in the drizzle, but not this downpour. My few days at home haven't really turned out like I planned. Oh well, I'm heading to Atlanta for a few days (and driving through this storm!), and will hopefully get a few runs in up there! Even though it is only Thursday, I wish everyone a good weekend! ok you are killin me with all the avatars changing ! I can't figure out who the hell you are for a second ! lol........... I think folks that change it alot are called "Serial avatar changers" lol sorry - my team lost the challenge! I tried to find "sexy brunette marshmallow" but that didn't come up. Ha ha ha. |

Master 1790 | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) maxmansmom - 2009-04-02 9:43 PM Offthegrid - 2009-04-02 9:03 PM OK, everyone, I need some opinions. I'm on STBX's cell phone plan. I get him a 17% discount, but regardless, he's going to cancel my $10 line. (while I pay the mortgage, taxes, utilities, health insurance, car loan & insurance, etc. etc. etc.) I'm reluctant to try to go without a cell phone, because there's no house phone here. I *might* consider Skype or something like that, though. I really want an iPhone, but I don't want to get one now because of the monthly cost. I'm reluctant to GET a regular cell phone plan, because I want that iPhone and I'd be under contract and would have to wait 2 years to get one. And I think if I get a pay-as-you-go phone, it'd add up to be a high monthly cost similar to the iPhone. I've been thinking on it for a week, and I'm still not sure what I want to do. Thoughts? Dh and I are cheap ! lol So we use cheap phones we got from ebay and then we pay as we go on verizon (like the cards at walmart only we do it automatic). We pay around 20$ per month and if we get too low, it will automaticlly add like $5.00. We had one phone that was given to us by a guy who could not get service (it's an older verizon flip phone, and dh got two more one for his mom and one for me for CHEAP on ebay). we also have car chargers as well. we have no plan, and dh loves it that way (of course we can't get cute ring tones, or fancy stuff.......but they call who I want when I want) how do you do the pay-as-you-go? At a Verizon store? Which plan do you have? There are some that are 0/day charge, but then 25 cents a minute. Others are $4/day, but then unlimited. I don't make a lot of calls, but I could see that adding up pretty quick... (the initial cost of the phone doesn't worry me, but the ongoing monthly expense.) |

Extreme Veteran 608 | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!! Does any of us have a race????? My hopes are to do a long run/walk or bike tomorrow after my first responders seminar at church, it shows you how to help others after a traggic event, it runs from 9-2 tomorrow. My plans today are to work for a few hours, clean house, and then do some sort of walk with the dog. I just signed up for a swim clinic that my first YMCA Tri coach is offering in May, that will at least get me going back to the pool...I haven't been since November because I hate seeing myself in my suit since I put on 15 lbs...I know its stupid, but it always bums me out...I'm working on that one. Have a great weekend!!!! |

So far I don't know what it's getting me: I'm slower and my breathing is out of synch so I'm getting more tired. I guess I need to stick with it for a while before I see any benefits :( |

I've gotten outside on it once but the roads were a bit wet so I couldn't really let it fly. Tomorrow's looking too windy for this bike. I'm not planning to use this bike for my first tri (too hilly) so I really should be putting my time in on the Allez. |
