Writebrained/JHouse4's 2009 - Newbies Unite Group FULL (Page 12)

Yuck!!! Spring can't get here soon enough!

jhouse4 - 2009-01-17 7:40 PM I just ate a horse shoe and had three uh, waters at D'arcy's with ABake. Talked races and other general riff raff. Weighed myself and I am still 7 lbs over race weight need to drop those before Tampa!

Yeah, you can't get horseshoes like that in Chicago.  Mine had onions and some kind of spicy stuff in the cheese sauce.  The humanity...

Oh no, take care of yourself and don't push too hard.

Nice run, I have a bit of asthma too.  Some days are more challenging than others.

gobluedds - 2009-01-18 5:00 PM Got in strength training (snow removal) running (a double) and a swim in today.  Now I'm wiped out.  Should be posting some bike p0rn tomorrow.  Can't wait to get him on the trainer.   Any thoughts on names?

Wait a second...WHAT DID YOU GET??? Did I miss where you said what bike you got?  If I did I am sorry but CONGRATS!!! Can't wait to see pictures!

That is awesome!  As I said earlier I really like mine so far so I hope you like yours just as much!  Happy you got such a deal!

Aweeeeeee!  Super Cool!   Enjoy.....  Post pix!

Got a nice ride in on the trainer and some weights.  Thanks to Writebrained for posting the link to Ironman Kona, that kept me entertained and motivated while on my spin-to-nowhere in my kitchen.

I found this good article about the origin of the horseshoe sandwich. I have to admit that even though I grew up in Springfield, I did not know how it got its somewhat strange name.

SweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeT!!!!!!

Very nice!

 Gotta love new stuff!  Looks great

So we went skiing today.  My knees are a bit achey this evening.  Even with the exercising I've been doing my legs still get tired.  Some extra water and a good night's rest should take care of it.

I was going to go for a run tomorrow morning before we head home.  But I forgot to pack a very important piece of clothing.  So I'll have to wait and do something after we get home.  There always seems to be something that I forget. 

Ski Report for anyone who cares:  This weather inversion was giving some unseasonal spring-like conditions.  The temp at the house (elev. ~2000ft) was 21F when we left.  At the top of the mountain (6300 ft) it was 45F.  We were shedding layers throughout the day.  We all had a good day.  Even the 4-yr old was skiing without a tether on the bunny hill.  Before we know it he'll be bombing down the slopes with me screaming behind to slow down.
