Extreme Veteran  968    Cape Coral, FL |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For BusinessI've been bad at my posting  I have been reading everything though and it looks like everyone is moving right along. I've been putting off getting in the water for no other reason than I'm lazy. Last week I did get 2 in but I was supposed to swim yesterday and failed. I still rode though. I need to get motivated again since I have a 70.3 coming up in April. On the bright side I am back on the run. Got in 30 minutes today and felt real good. Since I'm so injury prone I am going to cap my long runs at 6 miles for the half. When I get closer to the full in November I will look at my mileage and decide what to do then. I will probably cap that at 12+/- miles. I already told myself I am walking a good portion of it so I won't be let down when that happens. It's worth walking part of it knowing I will go into the race injury free. |

Regular 866 Central Coast, CA | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Mid-week check-in. Unfortunately I have not had time to follow up on the rest of the messages, work is keeping me too busy! Did some runs and a little biking over the weekend and during the start of the week. The end of this week will be running the Disneyland Star Wars "Rebel Challenge" 10k and half marathon plus walking the 5k with my wife. Three days of events and four days in the parks, my feet will be sore by the end of it! On Sunday I plan on riding the Disneyland railroad a couple of times around the park while wearing a bunch of finishers medals |

Thanks - Ryan If I had been in the Army, we'd have similar lives the last few years! :D Since I was not, I will just thank you for your service!!!! Thor & Jeff, Thanks for the food links! I will do my best to start planning out my food for the day, every day. I swam this morning!!! Felt great to get back in the water! I have a lot of work to do, but it'll come around fast.. My brother-in-law went with me, and does NOT swim well. I tried to get him a little more comfortable in the water, and he is optimistic about it. I ordered the Total Immersion DVD so that I can improve my TI swimming, and get him on the right path. Anyone else use Total Immersion? I love it! Edited by fifthcircle 2015-01-13 2:43 PM |

Extreme Veteran 2098 Alberta | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Just a public service announcement for those who want to try something a little different....
Here’s a whale of a story: An Icelandic brewery has created a beer made with smoked, salted and cured whale testicles as the perfect gift idea for men. After the successful launch of a beer made with milled whale bones and whale meat, Brewery Steðji said it’s currently concocting a sequel called Hvalur 2, this time made with whale testicles. Each batch of beer is infused with the flavors of one whole whale testicle, cured according to an old Icelandic tradition, lightly salted, then smoked, reported Icelandic news site Visir. The suds are also made with malted barley, hops and Icelandic water. Bottles of whale testicle beer will hit store shelves across the country January 23, the start of Thorri season, an Icelandic holiday season in which families tuck into traditional foods and delicacies that include rotten shark’s meat, boiled sheep’s head, ram’s testicles and pickled whale blubber. January 23 also marks Husband’s Day, when WAGS (wives and girlfriends) pamper the men in their lives with gifts. Amazingly, it’s not the first time beer has been made with gonads. In 2012, Colorado brewery Wynkoop Brewing Company launched a beer made with roasted bull testicles. Each brew of Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout was made with 3 BPB --- balls per barrel. |

Veteran 706 Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business First real workout of the year, sadly - an easy half hour run plus about an hour worth of strength training. Just getting back in the swing of things. Oh, and it is nice to workout in the middle of the day, especially when I finally quit my job. I had a major disagreement with my boss - he wanted me to work for free, and I though that four weeks without a paycheck and nothing but empty promises was more than enough "good cause." Can't say that I'm happy, but I'm not doing too badly - just taking it bit by bit - one step at a time. |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business Originally posted by Smiley9188 DQ, I haven't done a bio like the others but have given you my scoop, at least I think I have. Do you want more from me? I need to figure out how to also make a signature so you know who i am. Do you want anything specific listed in the signature to keep track of us? The thing that makes this page work is beer and relationships/frienndships. Posting a bio lets people get to know you better and the better they know you, the better able they will be to support you. As for the signature - it would be great if you put your first name or what you want people to call you. I also put sayings that motivate me. It's your page and your journey - basically its up to you. DQ |

With all you have gone through - all that matters Nancy Boy - is to get your to the starting line healthy. As for the IM - my advice is for you to ride ride ride ride. My coach had me do that and he got my fitness and stamina up to the point that I was able to train for IMMT without injury. You will do it! In the coming weeks - send me a message and I'll give you some of the info I have from my own training. If I can do it - so can you. |

I know it's a stressful time - but take the time to work on you. Send me a pic of a healthy breakfast tomorrow like we did back in the day. If we did it then - we can do it again! Onward my friend! |

If you stick in this group and support your fellow BDASers, I'll bring you a six pack of Downeast Cider from Boston the next time I head south. It's the best cider I've ever tasted! Deal? |

Extreme Veteran 1648 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business DQ! Your ride sounds way harder than mine. First bike of the season so I did a fairly easy 20 minute spin. I felt a lot better than I have in the past. Perhaps all of my mtn biking over the summer/ fall paid off a little. (My husband is trying to convince me we need fat bikes so we can ride in the snow.) So, I'm 2/4 as well. I also did a yoga class earlier- which truth be told was harder than the bike. But, I'm really trying to restrain to avoid an injury from early over exuberance. Alex, I'm sorry about your work situation! I hope you find something much better for you. As I was grocery shopping last night I was thinking it would be a funny challenge to post pictures of your grocery cart before check out - pushing for more veggies and less Doritos. |

Member 3097 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business First, no whale testicle beer...ever. Second, two more workouts in the can for me. Nice run during meeting lunch break yesterday and another turn in the stationary bike this morning. Those out me at 15/400 on the year. Off to another day of meetings. |

| 462 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business back on the wagon with 6 miles today. treadmill due to ice, but it would have been really easy to blow it off since I was called in 2 hours early to deal with icy roads. Once we realized there weren't going to be many issues we were allowed to get our workouts in. I was really not wanting to run, but did anyway and I'm glad I did. First run with my now replaced 920 and so far so good. |

I would like to point out that our Governor owns Wynkoop. Not sure if there is a point here. Just was unaware of this particular claim to fame of his. |

| 107 , Connecticut | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business NAME: Colleen STORY: I joined a running group last April the month I stopped nursing my baby. This running group managed to inspire me to run all the way through December (amazing!). One of the women did a sprint triathlon last summer and I thought I could do it too! So after thinking about it, considering the costs, talking endlessly with the wonderful workers at the local bike store, considering the impact on (time away from) my family and the rewards of completing this journey I decided I'm IN! So I'm giving it a go. I expect to do 5 this year, minimum. I swam through high school and have been running for 9 months or so regularly. I've been to exactly 3 spin classes and haven't been on a real bike except for a morning vacation ride with my family in years. I don't own a bike (yet) and have lots of weird wonders about triathlons- like do I wear a sports bra to swim, what about sun screen? FAMILY STATUS: I've been married for 7 years, and I'm a stay at home mom to a 4.5 and 1.5 year old. I'm 37 years old. CURRENT TRAINING: At this point I'm just gently easing into the three sports. I'm hoping to stay injury free (I have nagging sports injuries) and am trying to build endurance and keep myself motivated. I suspect in February or March I'll start to do drills/exercises and officially start my training. 2014 RACES: I ran two 5k races last summer RACES PLANNED FOR 15: I'm doing an indoor triathlon THIS Saturday (10 minutes/30 minutes/ 20 minutes). It's my first ever triathlon, but for me it will feel like a mini-sprint since I will be slower than this in an outdoor race. I plan on competing in at least two Lake Terramuggus sprint triathlons, I plan on doing the women's only triathlon in Winding Trails in Farmington CT in September and I'll find another Sprint tri sometime this summer to complete my 5. BEER PREFERENCE: I used to drink wine and beer. A lot of it. Though I haven't been able to really handle drinking these days. Between losing weight and having/living with two young kids I'm just not loving drinking right now, though this summer I discovered vodka which I enjoyed on a hot summer sundays often. You can find me having a Long Trail occasionally though! |

Member 22 Katy, TX | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business NAME: Ryan STORY: I played college baseball, was active as a member of the military for 7 years, ran several half-marathons, a full marathon, and did number of sprint tris before having kids and going back to school part-time. I officially claim the title of being able to make an excuse for getting out of any workout which is what I am trying to get over. Want to get back into shape to be a better role model for my girls, as well as being able to enjoy the competition again. FAMILY STATUS: Married, 3.5 and 2 year old girls (aka Princesses!) CURRENT TRAINING: Started a 13 week sprint tri training program. Swim is by far my best event. Had foot surgery in December 14 so easing into the running. Have tri bike and trainer set up at home. Do some spin classes at local gym to mix it up. 2014 RACES: Race to Gain 20 Pounds - 1st Place Race to least number of Workouts in 2014 - 1st Place, 12 Race across back yard with 3 year old daughter - 2nd Place, I let her win RACES PLANNED FOR 15: Already signed up for Kemah Sprint Tri in April, Tejas Sprint in June, then probably one sprint a month the rest of the season in and around the Houston area. BEER PREFERENCE: Been really into double IPAs lately. Enjoy seasonals throughout the year from the local breweries. Try to stick to the craft beer in smaller quantities vs. mainstream lite beers in mass quantities. |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Open For Business This morning - I got in a swim (300 - baby steps - just like Kevin and his fruit beers) and some aqua jogging to reach 9 days in my 21 days challenge. I'm still tired from the national championship game and getting out of beer was a the hardest part of the workout. It must have built up some good Karma because my buddy who works in a brewery dropped off a case of beers that were just handing around the brewery. I live a charmed life... I'm hoping to get to bed by 8:30 tonight to get back on track. I'll get a bike ride tomorrow - it's gonna be in the mid 20's - balmy. This weekend, I will make a list of our names and user names to help us get to know each other. You can help by ending our posts with your name so people can get to know you better. We are off to a great start and I am loving all the support I'm seeing. Keep it up people! Speaking of keeping it up - you better be putting in the workouts Justin. If I have to drink coors light there aren't enough mounties to keep you safe |
