Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 12)

amy mutz - 2009-01-01 11:26 AM This is what my scale said to me this morning.

Mine said "GET OFF!!! YOU'RE SQUISHING ME!!!"

knee is much better. been icing it like crazy. and I would love to meet you for some coffee.

Happy New Year everyone!!  We went up the street to a friends' house and had a nice low key evening.  We ate, played games and we drank my homemade Sangria... yum!!

Well, it's a brand new year ...  did anyone make any Resolutions?  I try not to stratch myself too thin, so this year my resolution is to give up soda.  Of course training for my tri is on the list, but that's just a way of life right now... the soda thing is going to be a little tough. 

I also wanted to ask the group if any of you take any type of supplements.  I'm an Advocare distributor (so I can buy product at a discount) and take some of their products.  I love their Spark energy drink and a couple other items... but was wondering what others do for sports/health/weightloss enhancements.  Just curious!!

I rode my bike on the trainer this morning while my boys played.  It felt good to just go up there in my pjs and sneakers and pound out a few miles.  Really didn't even feel like work!

and will leave you with a famous quote that my dad used to always say when he coached me in basketball: I am not sure where it originated!? but sure it is not dads quote! SUCCESS ISNT SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENS - SUCCESS IS LEARNED - SUCCESS IS PRACTICED AND THEN IT IS SHARED.

I always loved that saying and hope that we will all do our parts in sharing our experiences. Happy New Years...and let the games begin! the tri game that is!

Happy New Year!  We enjoyed a relatively quiet New Year's Eve with family - lots of good food, beer and sake....probably a little too much sake.   I got in my first run of the year yesterday afternoon.  I went out the door thinking I would walk for an hour, but started a slow jog and ended up doing 3 miles.   My first swim will not be until Monday.  I should be able to get out for a short ride tomorrow or Sunday if the ice/slush dries up.

fabulous job Dan! three mile run is a great way to start the year! KIU!

When I remember to pop the vitamins it usually looks like: garlic, Omega 369, Glucosamine, B12, and a multi-v. We do have some Gu20, Nuun, Endurox and Whey protein in the house too but we usually go to those for bigger training days. I have always thought that I should be taking some Greens mix but have it in my mind that I would be holding my nose every time I take a sip... I should probably just buy some and try it.

Happy New Year everyone! Looks like lots of you got out today...I wanted to run (really no choice though as pools were closed and bike isn't on the trainer yet). The dog was a bit antsy, so I thought we would have a new years run together. We did a great little loop and ended at the doggy park where he had a little romp and I got to take advantage of what looked like an aid station- really just some dog-loving folks manning a table and doling out hot cocoa and treats for everyone and their dogs. Note to self- find more fitting image next time- (a) I am not blonde- tough for the asian folks- always comes out orange (b) Calgary weather today did not allow for singlet and shorts (c) my dog would be 6 ft (I believe that's the length of the leash) ahead and my arm fully extended, and mouth open shouting for him to slow down. It's always an adventure!

Hi everyone...I am having all kinds of computer issues while traveling...every time I get on the computer it has been crashing! every time I try to leave an inspire I get an error message. wanted you all to know why I have been MIA! hope you all are moving closer to those goals you set...time to get training...the new year is upon us! TRAIN WELL!

I guess I mean cheating because you don't really have two sleep cycles between workouts.  That seems to help me better -- to have a true "rest day".  But sometimes it just doesn't work out.

I do most of my training first thing in the morning too, although I'm trying to be more open to other times.  It just seems that when I plan to do something at lunchtime or after work, half the time it gets pre-empted by work!

In my case it gets pre-empted by family issues or just not feeling up to it. That's why I train in the morning where there are less excuses.

The threat of "wintery mix" is keeping me inside today. I'm about to hit the rollers.

I did 1.5 hrs and 24 miles on the rollers. Still hoping to get an outside ride this weekend.

Running tomorrow.

It's a bit of a chilly one today- just a couple of cm of fresh snow but temps are about -25C +windchill. I had a pretty good round in the pool today and will skip the run. Still waiting for hubby to locate the skewer so I can get my bike on the trainer. It's just supposed to be a one day cold spell so I am hopeful that I can get out for a run tomorrow.
