 2126    Baltimore, Maryland |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPENAndrew that cabin project looks SO GOOD! It's really coming along! Also, great training week! Sounds like a well earned rest week between that and all the landscaping! Mike, glad you made it to masters and sounds like you've had some great consistency overall! Did your daughter go to masters also? Sorry to hear about the seizing body, but glad it sounds like it's through the worst. Gretchen, I'm with Mike. Honestly, I would've called someone right away....though I really wish I was handy like you and could do all that stuff myself! I have zero confidence when it comes to projects b/c I'm always worried I'm going to screw something up and make it way worse. |

| 2126 Baltimore, Maryland | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN 9 days...single digits, eek! Yes, I am both excited and nervous. Luckily I have SO MUCH to do before it so it has been a nice distraction. Friday, my friend found a place that does pickup pickleball so we went to play. It was fun, we definitely got our butts handed to us a few times, and also got some chances to split up and play with other people. I'm still getting into the sport and need to learn some of the strategy behind it. We are going to do some lessons once I'm back and ready to play again  Saturday, I walked A LOT. My friend and I had brunch and then decided to walk to Fells Point, which was about 2 miles away. It was a really nice day, and it was great to see her b/c we haven't had a chance to hang out in a lonnng time. Ran some errands after that and then lounged on my couch. Stayed up late b/c the excursions for my cruise became available at midnight, so I wanted to make sure we got the things we wanted, which we did! Yesterday was productive yet lazy. I got my kitchen cleaned, did some laundry, and have started packing. My spare room is my staging area Should've gotten more done than I did, but that's what my weeks are for I guess... Did some stretching yesterday, but haven't done my PT in a couple days so am going to do that tonight after work. I've been really consistent with my neck stretches, and though I see a difference after I do them, haven't seen a long-term difference yet. But the short-term difference makes it worth it for sure! |

Expert 4921 Middle River, Maryland Silver member | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN @Nicole: yes mini-me made it and immediately slotted in with the fasties. We had a pretty good crowd - maybe 15-17 of us. We did a lot of all-out swims with lots of rest which worked fitness-wise but that's why I'm so beat up (and all the kick sets with fins). @Andrew: saw your long ride on Zwift via Strava...nicely done! Nailed all my workouts last week, now I have test week (eek!). |

Member 3143 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN Nicole--I think your surgery is the same day as my tattoo appointment (20th, right?)! Body modification twinsies! Handy is simply being willing to try. My philosophy is that the thing is broken already...I probably can't screw it up too much to make it THAT much more expensive to fix, so why not try? It may well turn out that I can fix something and then I'll have saved a bunch of money! For example, we had a lek in our yard about three months ago and the plumber cost $1400 to fix it. I spent $60 to fix this leak (plus time), and that includes buying all the parts twice due to my own error and purchasing an extra propane tank I didn't end up needing. (And yes, two leaks in three months probably means we are due for a new water line soon; a project for the spring, I hope). Andrew--cabin is looking pretty cool! Great training week too! Mike--thanks for the heads up about TP and the cycling program I can't remember the name of now...:P I'll check it out. I don't really care for Zwift because I hate monthly subscriptions and I really don't think the graphics for Zwift are all that special, but a free service (or, technically one I have already paid for with TP) might pass the sniff test around here. Taking a mulligan on marathon training week 1! Today I did my long run of 8.08 miles or 13km. Not sure how/why, but I somehow managed to buy the metric training plan, so all my long runs are going to be weird distances like this. The five weekday runs are all done by time, but the long run is by distance, which makes sense to me to make sure you ramp up to the proper distance by race day. As a slower runner, when the plan is by time only, the long runs don't end up being anything near the magic 20 miles. |

You mean the correct, sensible distances. I call it the funny math. Because I work with so many international folks and realize Americans are just ridiculous with our imperial system, I actually can function in the metric world, but it just cracks me up that I didn't even notice it was in metric.** **All of this applies to distances and weights only. When it comes to temperature, my brain is boggled by celsius! |

When it comes to temperature, my brain is boggled by celsius! Same here, but the opposite. I get miles, feet and pounds, probably because lived in England a few years (and stones, they have stones over there) but I just don’t get Farenheit. I guess it’s easy to convert miles to km and vice versa, just multiply or divide, but is there an easy way to convert F to C? I don’t think so. |

Degrees C makes perfect sense, water frozen = 0, water boiling = 100. easy. But the conversion, F - 32 x 5/9 = C ? WTF, everytime I make a post complaining about temperature here, I have to get out the calculator so our american friends can understand. |

Though it's roughly take F, subtract 32 and multiply by ~.5. so I guess it's not horrible? After posting I saw Andrew already added this. I just google it each time. What people did before google i have no idea. Edited by nicole14e 2024-11-11 4:02 PM |

Member 3143 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN I remember sitting at a stoplight with my grandfather as a kid and he would convert the temp from C to F or vice versa and his goal was to do it in his head before it switched on the sign. I can do the math if I think about it hard, but generally I just try to remember that cold is below 4, comfortable is 16-25, hot is 30-40 and over 40 I don’t want to be around. |

Regular 1777 Auckland, North Island | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN I vote we go back in measuring things in corgis. Temperature can be frozen solid corgi, shivering corgi, happy corgi, panting corgi, dead corgi. |

Next you'll be saying I rode my bike for eleven Corgis or something. Leave it to someone from a society that uses factors of ten to measure distance instead of more intellectual, complex orders of magnitude like 12, 3, and more impressively, 5,280, to make that mistake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqfVE-fykk And why do you hate the Corgis??? Two of the five you mentioned are dead!!!! Now THIS is why I hang out with you people. |

That's a hill I'm prepared to die on. |

In work early this morning, have some not fun news to give my faculty this morning, then have a presentation to the department, so I'm a little stressed, but once I get through this, I'm mostly in the clear in terms of work. Hoping to get a bunch of stuff off my plate in the next week! No workout this morning b/c of the early day, but going to trivia tonight and will be walking before as much as possible. |

Member 3143 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN 75' of lifting this morning at the gym. Not sure why, but today felt like a really solid lift where I could see the progress I've made over the last few months. Big lift energy around here this morning. Maybe it was looking over and seeing the 20yo cut dude curling less than I was. I know comparison is supposed to be the thief of joy and all, but dude...ego boost! Later today, I have a 30' foundation run on the schedule. I must wait for my body to thaw out. It was 36F (2C) here overnight and I left the window cracked in my office. I'm a bit cold. :D This afternoon is supposed to be beautiful though--a perfect day for an afternoon run! |

Member 3143 Carbondale, Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN Early morning 30' Z2 run followed by a quick 2000 yds at the pool. Now I'm sleepy. Does anyone else get like that after swimming? I'm not physically tired, but I feel like I could curl up under the desk and take a nap (which is dumb, because I mostly work from home, so I could go to my bed!). |

Expert 4921 Middle River, Maryland Silver member | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN @Gretchen: depends on the water temperature and the how dark it is when I get home; we used to swim at like 4 PM a couple nights a week when my daughter was swimming club, and I slept like a cat those nights. And quick 2000 yards is something I've never written when describing something I've done. Test week has commenced for me...yesterday was a typical Tuesday workout but with less volume as a primer day, then a 20-minute (technically 18-minute as it's a measured route on Zwift) test, which I did surprisingly well at. I set all-time (!!!!) power records from 6 to 18 minutes, averaging 284 for the Oh Hill No FTP course in Zwift. Nailed the protocol perfectly with a slight negative split. Zwift came back with a 264 FTP. That hurt, and also proved my max HR is accurate in the low 150s on the bike. So now I have to work harder on my intervals coming up. Easy day tomorrow then a 500 TT in the pool Friday morning. |
