No that's me in disguise.  My Doug keeps saying I need to race cross to improve my bike handling skills but what he doesn't realize is I make promotion videos for Pinarello on the side!!

Fantastic Goal!!!!!!

Guilty as charged and racing "Clyde" again this weekend both Sat & Sun.  Hope to continue to be a Soul Crusher!

Anyone ever use one of these? Its a swim parachute.

I think it has a few other uses as well.

yes!

My goal for the rest of the year is to stay healthy and enjoy my IM base training, I also need to improve my climbing before I go to Spain in December for my cycling holiday in Andalucia!

i know you've been injured and one of the top priorities for ironman is to make it to the start line as healthy as possible.  but you're about to embark on a journey that may put you in one of the most physically and exhausting states you've been in.. perhaps ever.  leverage every opportunity between now and then to put yourself in the best position possible come race day.

if your legs are ready to go, i'd suggest race that sprint this weekend.  race it, don't phone it in.  and then have a plan for the next day.  maybe this is a walk around the neighborhood, a 20 minute spin on the trainer, 1500m in the pool.  something easy but something that is gonna make your body say wtf are we doing here... we raced yesterday.  

you're gonna blink and 30 weeks is going to here.  noosa might be fun, but that's no the point right now.  lets go.

GOOD LUCK AT YOUR SPRINT,  DAVID!!!!

:-)  

good luck racing fools.   nada here.  aside from a decent race in florida i'd like to keep the weight off that i've lost. 

My goal is to survive running my 1/2 marathon on Nov 11.

As well, I am teaching a learn to run clinic through a local running store starting end of month. Their goal is to run a 5k on Dec 31. LOVE to get them motivated, and hope in turn it fires me up a bit. MY goal not only for the next twp months, but for this winter is to run. run,run,run.

lets talk baseball.......

Those two bay-area teams???? yoyo to say the least.

and Tony - How do the national skeep strasburg out of the lineup??

OK, the time for feeling sorry for myself is over and I'm looking forward to finishing this year on a high note. Lots of changes at home this last month and with the new school/work schedule I'm having a difficult time carving out me time.  And, all the house projects I had put on hold during IM training have come back to bite me, sucking up all my free time. Annoying.  I need to be more creative and get myself a treadmill.

Anyway... the one thing I'd still like to accomplish this year? Take that gun handling/shooting class.

They don't want to mess up his Tommyjon surgery.

Yesterday was a GREAT day to live in the Bay Area!!!  gotta love NorCal October Baseball!!!!

GO, Giants!!!  Go, A's!!! The font difference was intentional.

This weekend will be my last week of taper and I cannot wait for the marathon on the 21^st! Mostly
because I want to FINALLY stop running and give my feet a break (and call myself a marathoner, too). My feet have had lots of ups and downs the past month – the long runs are torture and my feet will hurt for days after, but the short runs are no problem. My goal was to really focus on recovery during this taper period – lots of icing on a water bottle, golf ball massages and strassburg sock. I’m allergic to NSAIDS so I can’t take any sort of anti-inflammatory. My taper volume has been pretty low so my head is all over the place. I hope I’m balancing between doing enough to keep fresh and not doing too much to get injured.

Rest of 2012 I want to get healthy and lose some weight (although I dont know how I will do that with not running and with the holidays!). I also want to get back in the pool and work on drills.

anyone can buy their way in.......

says the mom of a yankees fan......

Add me to the sitting around wondering what to do next group.  I have no solid plans, except to spend the next week touring New England.  I will regroup when I return.  Just trying to hold steady and get used to eating "winter rations". 

As for something to accomplish before the end of the year.........  I've got nothing.  Right now, I just need some rest.  Getting up at 4:45 am gets old really fast.  Here's something--I want to spend some time trail running just for the fun of it

YAWWWWWWNNNNNNN...... this fallacy again..

8 of our 27 rings came after steinbrenner bought the club from cbs

11 of the pennants as well. and of course you'll keep in mind that most of these were prior to the playoff expansion in 69 and 94, you know, when it was much more difficult to make the playoffs, unlike the scham of today's game. 

family has been a season ticket holder since cbs,

...so get your facts straight... and shove it.

and you never showed us fat linda pics... c'mon man... trev has been drooling over this for months.

Lots of interesting plans for the next few months.  I like reading everyone's goals!  

No one brought this up so I will.  LANCE.  I'm very disappointed.  Paul says I am the glass half full girl on too many things.  Boo-Hoo.  I wanted so much to have him be clean.  

Blah, blah blah blah blah, I'm sorry I can't hear over the pandemonium coming out of the bars along my little 24th street corridor!!!!  My Giants PREVAILED!!!    Buster is da MAN!

I know what you mean but this ankle tendonitis hasn't really gone yet and I'd feel like an idiot if I flared it up badly just to get through a mini-sprint.

Once Noosa's done all my focus will be on the IM and I'll be scheduling a few events along the way to push me. Also, I've been rostered on for a patrol at the beach now.
