The "A" Team (Page 17)

mchally - 2010-04-03 2:17 PM I just took my little sister and cousin to see a noon showing of How to Train Your Dragon (PG) at a nearby theater, but we had to leave disappointed...It turns out that the theater is now only 21 and over. 

When I looked up the times it failed to mention that it was 21 and over. 

Seriously...a noon showing of a PG movie???

I guess when they remodeled they built bars in all the theaters.

brick94513 - 2010-04-04 1:02 PM We're getting close to the start of race season!  Does anyone have races this month?

I'l be racing in the Sea Otter XC race for sure.  I can't make my mind up if I want to travel to Vegas for the XTERRA Western Regional Championships.  No easing into the season if I decide on that one.  It will have competitors from across the US.

May will definately be busy.

That makes me feel better about my 11.5 mile run this morning.  I didn't realize it was even windy until I started heading back. Then I wasn't too happy that I left my outer layer by a fence about 2 miles into my run.  It wasn't raining and it wasn't 15 miles so I won't complain. Except my shoulders are starting to hurt on my long runs. That's pretty sad when I come home from a long run and the only part that hurts are the shoulders.

Happychick - 2010-04-04 1:42 AM After a very long night of trying to sleep through the dang neighbors barking dog, I managed to crush my goal of a 9 min/mile pace at my 10k race this morning! This was a very emotional race for me for several reasons...1)I was scheduled to do this one last year but didn't because my Mom passed away so I knew that doing it this year would be somewhat of a memorial race for me and 2)This is my last race here in Hawaii. I am so very happy about my time and did, in fact, spend a lot of the race thinking of my Mom!
Here is my RR for those interested (its short and sweet...at least MY version of short and sweet)!

kimk - 2010-04-04 9:41 AM I had the best day yesterday! The sweat training with Lauren and Tri Faster was tooooo much fun! We did a lecture first then onto the scale, into the pool for a 45 min swim...I so wish I could remember laps! I want to know how far I went! I felt great in the water. then onto the scale again (have I mentioned I hate the scale?) then Lauren did some math to figure out our sweat rate Mine is 1#/hour or 16 oz of fluid that I release during swimming, then into our bike clothes, I just wore my tri-suit the whole time, so onto the scale again, then on the bike for 1 1/2 hours keeping our HR in z2 and 3. 1.34 #/hour or 16oz/hour for the bike(Lauren lead a great class, gave pointers for while on the rd and also how to train more efficient on the trainer during the winter.  Then onto the scale again. transition to the run, on the scale then for a run it was supposed to be 40 min but we got a late start, I wasn't paying attention to my time and should have gone for a full 30 min but stopped at 28min! 2#/hr or 32oz for the run! I sweat a lot!!! Not that I didn't know this but didn't realize how much more I should be drinking.  It was a great training and I felt great through it all, makes me feel better for my longer races! Followed the training with great family time at the Bucks game!

That's weird about your shoulder. . . Do you scrunch them up when you run?  I try to make a conscious effort to keep my upper body, arms, and neck relaxed while I run.

Emmanem - 2010-04-04 9:55 PM I've got 2 5ks this month... but more importantly i just registered for my first triathlon!!!  very excited!

pdbman - 2010-04-04 10:03 PM
I have two this month.  A half mary on the 17th and my first tri on the 24th. I'm still wondering about the swim but its in a pool so I should be OK.

pdbman - 2010-04-04 10:26 PM Hasn't been the best Easter today.  I won't go into details but its been kind of a bummer. My wife and son are off to go visit a college that my son is considering so I'll be on my own tonight and tomorrow. I'm going to go find a DVD or something to relax before going to bed.  Have a fun evening and we'll chat in the morning.

D001 - 2010-04-04 10:49 AM Challenge Standings: I went to the spreadsheets, in order to give you a first week challenge update. But a lot of people haven't entered their goals yet. So, no update today. Instead, I'll go work on my taxes. Bleh.... As for the SECONDARY (Post Padding) Challenge, well, I think we already know which team is going to win that one. If the teams want new names, let me know. (Or, if you want to keep Team A and Team B, that's OK too.)

mchally - 2010-04-04 11:55 AM Good Morning A's

I am making some Bfast before heading to Church. 

I am going to have Easter Dinner with the BF's family today.   He told me that it is unprecedented that his mother invited his GF to a important family get-together, especially considering I only met the guy 9 days ago. 

I'm Special.
