I'm afraid to weigh myself on Wednesday, though - between retaining water in all my muscles (which will hopefully go away) and rewarding my efforts with a trip to Wendy's (plus ice cream), I'm not sure how the scale is going to be. Ah well! Have a great Monday! Congratulations!!! |

I'm just catching up on the thread....skinny jeans, high intensity workouts, first tris, half marathons...so much happening around here! Congrats! This weekend I spent A LOT of time in the pool. I took a Total Immersion swim workshop, great stuff! Now I just have to work on everything on my own, yikes! Unfortunately my acid reflux has returned |

Pro 3730 NorCal | Subject: RE: TEAM SKINNY 03/01/08 (March Madness) Forgot who asked about sports drinks, but NUUN are great.....it's a tablet you drop into your water bottle. I don't think there is any sugar in them, less than 5 calories a tablet and they taste good! I'm not a fan of the Cola flavor, it tastes like flat cola, which is ok. But keep in mind on long rides/runs, the bottles heat up.....drinking warm, flat, cola did not sit well on the taste-buds. I also use Infinit custom blend. The first time the blend was too strong for me so they changed my formula for FREE. Amazing customer service from this company!!!!

Elite 3020 Bay Area, CA | Subject: RE: TEAM SKINNY 03/01/08 (March Madness) Cead_Mille_Failte - 2008-03-17 7:53 AM Hi Everyone, So it's been 10 days since I got sick and I decided that though I'm still taking antibiotic the set is nearly over so it's time to stop lazying around. Weather is nice (not only not ranining but also quite sunny) so I made a brave decision to go running outside. Got properly dressed, got the right attitude: it's your first time outside so take it easy and just enjoy it- and off I went. OMG I thought I'm gonna die after 7minutes. My lungs felt as if somebody was shooting them with a nail gun- am I smoking 20 cigarettes a day in my sleep or what?. The whole "running" session lasted 20mins and it took me 26mins to WALK home so you can imagine my glacier pace. I know I've been sick and it was my very first time "running" outdoors but this was a disaster. My conclusion: if you think that running on a treadmill for 40mins or more means something you're wrong. Well, you just found out what we all do sooner or later. And no, it doesn't mean nothing, but working out NOT on a machine is just a lot different. You're usually using a lot more stabilizing muscles, overcoming more resistance, etc. If you haven't yet, put your treadmill on a 1% to 2% grade - you need that to mimic (somewhat) outdoor conditions. |

Another Nuun junky here - (but I like the cola flavor too)...it's nice to get the electrolytes without all the HFCS and other junk. |

| Veteran 240 | Subject: RE: TEAM SKINNY 03/01/08 (March Madness) Anyone know about Propel (made by Gatorade)? They had these powdered sachets that you can add to water. They were on sale as I was wanderign through the grocery store doing my food shopping, so I picked up a box. But some feedback would be nice before trying it :-) |

| Champion 9430 No excuses! | Subject: RE: TEAM SKINNY 03/01/08 (March Madness) Wow like a wayward child I have found my way back home. Life has been crazy and of course that means eating has been horrible. Me and the scale have not been talking so I need to jump back on there tomorrow and reconcile. Time to get back to accountability |

Any other questions and I am here to help. Skinny jeans on a guy........ewwwwwwwwwwwww!! Ceade: I smoke two packs a day and run 5 or 6 miles HTFU!! Ever since I found out what HTFU means I have wanted to use it...sorry Ceade. Your running will greatly improve once you get running outdoors and the Dreadmill will SUCK!!! |

| Champion 9430 No excuses! | Subject: RE: TEAM SKINNY 03/01/08 (March Madness) I'll second the Infinit. Great stuff and great customer service. I am just not a big fan of carrying my own in long stuff. Half iron worked fine with 3 bottles plus my aero bottle but my iron distance i picked up my extras half way and the bottles were 90+ degrees. Yuck! |

Ok, where the heck do you buy this NUUN stuff - it's like the new fad thing. Performance Bike also sells (usually cheaper than Nuun website, 'cause you can get shipping deals). |

Veteran 455 Limerick, Ireland | Subject: RE: TEAM SKINNY 03/01/08 (March Madness) Weather is absolutely fantastic today- blue skys with occasional clouds and warm Spring sun. So after my morning coffee I decided I'll try that running outdoors thing again. Went the same route again and the difference compared to yesterday was amazing. In my glacier pace I managed to run for 48mins. I had 4 short breaks for stretches during the run so the total time was 55mins. It felt good! I got home and did some core exercises and then had my well deserved breakfast. Other than that I'm freaking out about tomorrow weight reports because I know I'll be up but I know why. It's been the waiting week so last night after dinner I had a mini cheesecake, sesame sticks and yoghurt coated raisins- no comments. |
