Barb!  Stop yacking!

I think you're actually starting to believe it!

been broughten?????

LOL!

:P 

Well... I don't have to shave my legs tonight, but I'm pretty exhausted all this training post count padding.  Wait, I did actually train today.  I should probably turn in.

Have a good one!

Okay. Your next assignment, darling, sweet, dear Beth... Go rent "Not Another Teen Movie" and enjoy all the mocking references to the teenie bopper flicks out there. It's a line from there. Okay...I'm taking the pooch out...then showering...then going to bed. I smell like a homeless person.

OMG

do I have to? ok, I will - but, just for you!

it won't be for a couple of weeks though (yeah, i don't have a dvd player in my apartment) - so, in the meantime bear (hmmmm or is it bare) with me

G'night Bill!

Fair enough. If you want, I can get you a copy...you know, for safekeeping and you can watch it whenever your little heart desires. I have my sources ya know!

I like to know people with 'sources'

thanks Barb! 

Been thinkin the same thing.   I've got quite a bunch of it as well.   I did the sugar wax thing once.  Loved the result, wasn't terribly fun getting done though!

Yes SESH -- you're not the only "shaver" in here.  Legs here regualrly during the bike season.   Yea -- I do it cause it's cool.   Guess that's what I get for learning to swim with a collegiate champion swimmer.... 

NOW if I could get fast in the water...... 

Go find someone who can do sugaring.   Not as painful as wax.   That's what I had done to my chest and back.  Took about 45 minutes.  While having hair yanked out by the roots isn't exactly fun, the only place the pain was really bad was on the center of my sternum, and they did that part after they'd been working on my for about 45 minutes and my back , my gut, and half my chest were already done (pain tolerance was starting to wain!

Go for it.... I LOVE the result!

I just got basically the same thing a couple weeks ago!   AWSOME -- I'm also on T-Mobile....

Core workout done this morning.  I'm in the 20 percentile on all four disciplines across the board. 

Let's go team!!

Nice work, Terry!  A good start goes a LONG LONG way to help in hitting the goals.

Also, so it doesn't get lost in all the post count padding intelligent discussion from last night, here is the BT interview with Tim DeBoom:

http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=1443

Our very own Barb snuck two questions in there and we learned she's a pre-race yacker.  Been there, done that, and it's really cool what Tim says about it.

My favorite part was this:

Q: What is your average HR during a training run versus a race?

A:  I don't use a Heart Monitor.  I know my body. 

Yes!  Non HRM users are vindicated!!!

It's a very cool interview and what it really got through to me was that these pros go through the same things that beginners do.  They just do it a lot faster and longer.  But when it comes to the mind games this sport plays on you, we're all in the same boat.

Morning Middles!  18 min run (half marathon taper), 1700 yd swim this morning...I think I'm on track...I guess I should go log my yards/minutes...

Hopefully a 1.75 hour bike commute tomorrow...

No please.  People won't know how to find me at races.  They'll be looking for someone that looks like my goofy avatars...

Morning!

Hope everyone is well

I AM going to leave work in time for a workout today!
