Ghoulies vs BT Thread 2 (Page 19)

Morning Neal. What's up today?

Today should be a good day.  Hangover run. P90x. Clean apartment. Watch Iowa game with bro. Consume mass quantities of alcohol with said bro.

How about you?

Fall yard chores, canning (yes, I do this). run, wine. I attempted a tread mill run in the old shoes. Stupid. Now I have to do over after stretching and rolling. did I mention STOOPID?

How are you liking P90x?

Well the first week sucked.  I neglected any semblance of strength training since last winter so I was ungodly sore for days and days.  The second week was much better and I saw improvements in pretty much every workout.  I used to lift a lot before getting into triathlon so I'm going to enjoy focusing on that for awhile. The cardio workouts, however,  are lame compared to any s/b/r workout

I would like to start it but didn't want to cut out any of my S/B/R that I need to get back into after this disastrous summer. It seems like the strength workouts would be awesome. Do you have the pull up bar?

Trying to balance it with a tri schedule is difficult.  I'm focusing on running so I'm shooting for 4 runs and all the p90x workouts.  Then hopefully 1-2 swims/bikes in that week.  At the height of IM training I was putting in 20 hours so this should be easy to fit in but it's not.  Mainly because it's the off season and I'm entitled to be lazy, right?

I do have a pull up bar and pullups are a huge part of several of the workouts.  I love me some pullups and was quite disappointed when I found out how few I could do that first week.

They do show an alternate version that uses exercise bands so a bar is not actually necessary.

Its meters...Only you guys do yards...haha. Its 11% either way to convert it.

Fine...I guess I could do fly or brst...

(I'm trying to help you out Neal)...

Hi...My flight is delayed 3 hrs...I don't leave Edmonton until 10...:'(...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....oh well...it hasn't snowed here...

You going to challenge your bro to a duel? Haha

Yeah, when I was in my best swimming shape (sometime last winter) my best all out 100 was around 1:20.  I'd be lucky to hit 1:30 right now since I've haven't really swam since July.  And that's 100 yds.  It gets worse in meters.

I guessing any stroke you do is going to beat me.  Maybe we need to strap some weights on you.  Or you can race me doing a kickboard set.  How well do you kick?

That's a bummer

You never know.  We do a lot of stupid stuff when we drink.  Its a good thing we don't live together anymore because things used to get dumb on a regular basis

PS. Claim your toppage Melindy

Melindy is on top of Neal AGAIN!!

Well...it might have to be breaststoke then. My best time was 1:24. So now def not 1:24...Maybe I'll get 1:35-1:40 haha. I suck hcore now...

Ummm. I kick relatively better than I swim. And I pull relatively better than I swim. Lets not do those two....I can kick faster than my breaststroke. And pull faster than I kick..

Ok...so breaststroke it is...? Fair?

Duelling brothers TOPPAGE!!

Yes!

Bummer on the flight Melindy.

Neal, try to keep it not-stupid today, okay?

Later Ghouligans.

16 mile run this AM!  heading out for a massage now

GO GHOULIES!

Enjoy that massage!

Delayed another 2 hrs...

Sigh*
