Subject: RE: Iron Aardvark group - Closedgrahamclarke_6 - 2013-05-03 4:33 PM cheers - is the new Avatar a reflection of the Z2 training?!!!! ![Wink Wink](/discussion/jscripts/tiny_mce3.4b3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif) Gave me a good laugh, and partially true. I signed up to be a Mentor for the next few months for pure beginners looking to complete their first sprint, 5k, 10k, or whatever goal they set. I named it Todd's Tri Turtles because I wanted to encourage all to feel comfortable with their fitness level and speed. I am not fast but like the turtle I will get where I am going, no matter how long it takes and with Z2/3 it takes a while![Tongue out Tongue out](/discussion/jscripts/tiny_mce3.4b3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif) Also, I have had a really good past couple of days, Last night the family participated in our County's Relay for Life, in which I walked a mile with the family and then completed just shy of 7 miles non-stop mostly in Z3. This relay really makes me think of those who truly suffer and brings me back to realizing that my complaints, minor pains, and worries are basically foolish and petty. So many have died and suffered at the hands of cancer (wife lost her mother when she was 22 and before we were married) and it just makes me thank God that we are currently healthy. I felt good today so I went out this afternoon and put in an easy 17.31 mile ride, but did not get to go by HR becuase it was not reading properly (showed 242 at one point and I was not even breathing hard). Sorry for the Lengthy post and I hope everyone is having a great weekend as well. |
