Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 155)

Ack!  I'm so sorry that this has been dragging on and On and ON!

Two things pod:

1) I have created a core challenge that will start on Monday. 10 minutes a day of core for 100 days.  Would be fun to have any of you join me :)

2) I just signed up for the waitlist for Age Group Nationals, Oly.  Thanks for the help and encouragement with that.  So if I actually get in maybe I'll meet some of y'all there.

+1 

You have a while to figure out what'll work for the two of you.

I'll join you on the core challenge!  I know I've got abs of steel somewhere under the protective layering. 

Very cool you're on the wait list - I hope you get a spot, it would be great to have a Manatee Mayhem party at AG Nats! 

I need it too, but I fear commitment

Attention Stalkers (aka - live tracking testers)...

I'm heading out for a ride right now.  Check your MapMyRide App in 5 mins - click on "Live" from the home page, and you should see me riding. 

If you are at work - you can go to mapmyride.com and log in - then hover over "My Home" and then click on "My Friends" - from there, I think you click on my name - you will be directed to my dashboard, and if I'm riding - I think there will be a button you click on that will load the map and you can "watch" me ride... and see my stats - ALL LIVE!  

Hope some of you see this.  I really want some feedback on how well this works.  

Yay! 

I know, the commitment part is hard, but look at how wellyou guys have been jogoing.  If we have a group from the pod doing abs together, I bet that will make it easier. 

I try to just do it as part of my run cool down--just sneak em in.  If all elese fails, you can knock em out right before bed. Or, perhaps, in bed, for the, um, creative;)

That is forking awesome!  OK, I'm going to spend sometime this weekend getting myself all stalk-ready.  I'm a complete technology dork, but I might be able to snag a teenager to help me.

Not entirely.  HHH is southwest of Madison in Mount Horeb area and Blue Mounds State Park.  When I say west of Madison, I mean Middleton, Waunakee, etc.

I went ahead and set up a Manatee "community" on Google+.  I invited Chad, Chris and Jen to join since I am connected with them already.  

Anyone else, please feel free to join at https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109453443945893510526

I set it up as a private community but if you want to change it to public, just say so.  (ETA, privacy cannot be changed but we can always remove it and create a new one.)

I thought we could probably do the Google Hangouts in the community?  Still figuring out G+ though, to be honest.

More and more I swear we are twins separated at birth.

I tracked Skrat for a bit, but same, had a hiccup and he seemed to be stalled on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge...

TJ, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.  Sounds like he was an amazing guy.

I went for a run along the river tonight.  Fachmie.  Lovely run, but I think I swallowed 4 lbs of bugs.  I tell you, I didn't need a protein snack after this run!!

It says I need an invite?

Poo. I thought that you could request an invitation and I was hoping to use that as an end run around gathering up everyone's gmail addresses.

I'm in. I've been thinking of doing this anyway. The bike fit guy had me do a plank for him. After about 20 seconds, he said, "Okay. That's enough. I've seen what I need to." I think I growled at him, but I'm not sure. I need some core work.

Oh ok. I was only thinking of the routes. Haven't really ridden much off of them, but think what you're saying should be ok as my brother has been around there for a bit. So have seen some of the rides he's posted. For all the comments on the difficulty of the IMMoo course, it's interesting how easily it could be SO much harder.

Oh, ok. That sounds quite nice for you. Lots of hills, but shouldn't be frustrating with the size as you can often see them. I get over there at times, but mainly just around the NE part. Might explore some more as I'm looking for more routes. I'll head towards Lake Geneva and the surrounding area more often. It's interesting how things get noticeably bigger literally at the Wisconsin border.
