How was the spin class... did you end up puttng new music together?

Im up for margaritias....

Well alrighty then, margaritas all around.

Spin class was fun (only one girl besides me ).  Kind of a small crowd today but that's not unusual for this time of year.  They'll all come back on Jan. 2nd.   I didn't do new music, I was too tired (go figure!) so I used an existing playlist.

kaqphin - 2007-11-13 4:42 PM Some boy legs have just gone up in the Team Hippo thread too... I got a request to post them on our teammates behalf...Would be nice to give Steve (Reno8) some nice compliments!

So...Cat is wooing the women here to her team thread...apparently the guys here are not posting enough...Hector, Scott, will you get on that?

What...this didn't count?

 

Not even in sparco yellow?

How can a girl turn down sparco yelllow? And he does have nice legs...

There's something about this dude's legs that freak me out, I think it's the fact that his calves are as big as his quads.

thats not normal? I think my calves are bigger than my quads.... someone once commented on it.... hmmm... me thinks Im odd...

Okay, I got the measuring tape out... my calves are 16.5 and my thigh 21.5... granted I'm carrying some fat, but even when my BF% was down I'm sure my uper leg was at least slightly bigger than my lower...

Well, everyone's different, I think that's why they call us "INDIVIDUALS".

hehe ive  always had massive calves... even when Im not carrying the weight I am right now...

i refuse to do any strength work on them because i can NOT handle the thought of them getting any bigger...

Makes buying knee high boots in winter almost impossible!

Dee - I LOVE YOU!!!

I had the most delightful freestyle swim over lunch...

OMG, it truly is 90% arms and 10% legs!!!!

Without even doing flip turns, my average 100m time was 2.5 mins.

I am floating on air, I am SOOOO excited!!
(no, really? Tell us something we don't know)



CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

That we are, led by some incredible swimmers, such as both Pam and Beth, and Dee, of course.

Do you know how many years it has taken for me to struggle with freestyle, wondering why I just couldn't get it???

Now I just need to have my shoulders cooperate (but I have my first appointment with the sports therapist on Friday).

December challenge, here come the TwisNibbins!



If I recall correctly.... you said you messed it up doing water jogging?

Do you think it's the rotator cuff? Or something else?

Good luck on Friday.

It often seems that really active days on the nibbins threads are directly followed by slow days - hmmmmm, i wonder if there is any correlation????

LOL



Several possibilities:

1) Beth posts to Twisnibbins all day long on Monday. On Tuesday, Beth realizes she will have a tough time explaining to her boss why she didn't accomplish anything the previous day. End result, Beth is not online much on Tuesday.

2) Dee posts to Twisnibbins all day long on Monday. On Tuesday, Dee realizes she will have a tough time explaining to her boss why she didn't accomplish anything the previous day. End result, Dee is not online much on Tuesday.

3) Cat posts to Twisnibbins all day long on Monday. On Tuesday, Cat realizes she will have a tough time explaining to her boss why she didn't accomplish anything the previous day. End result, Cat is not online much on Tuesday.

4) Yanti learns to tie ribbons on Monday. On Tuesday, Yanti is busy untying ribbons. End result, Yanti is too busy with ribbons (and dessert) to even think about BT.

Wow, just thought I'd check-in and see what's going on. Is everybody actually working? Noone's posted in an hour, that's gotta be some kind of record for this thread.

From all the swim talk, looks like I'm gonna be the last one in the pool. Oh wait, I don't have to get in the pool, not a goal. Though I guess if I want to do a tri next year, I should still learn how to swim I have to say, all the talk is getting me a little hyped.

Well, gotta join in the rat race at work.

Later

Maybe.... good morning! Just catching up before I leave for work.... THEN Im here as usual I guess... ion between meetings and work....

Ive got Friday deadlines... oh joy

hi Cat! So, what are you wearing to work today? Did you find your fishnets yet????

LOL

Umm...right now a towel... better get my A into G huh? Since I should be leaving in 20 and I need to do hair, make up and find some clothes

No idea on the fishnets.... I was sure Id taken them off in the car..



Of course, we still don't know why you took 'em OFF in the car....

Our imaginations, however, have come up with PLENTY of "interesting stories."

Hows the husky voice going? did yuo manage not to cough into the mic?

Dont remind me about January... I think i will be trying to stay far away from the gym for awhile that time of year

No coughing, singing, staring at myself in the mirror or looking at my own legs while saying "looking good" to the participants... but I am still sounding husky, so I think it was successful.

hmmm given how much time I spend on here Im not sure I ever behave... the truth is boss out of the office = relax.... = much less work gets done



Yeah, but it's a library and they pissed off some of the customers. Way to go.

Hard to answer without ever really having done one. I've been hitting all areas and making good progress. I think swimming is my weakest area but I will continue to hit it the rest of the month. So I guess swimming is my nervous area as I have yet to do any OWS and I still need to try on my wetsuit, which I have not done either.


Re the comments on sighting while in open water....

IF you breath towards the "shore side", you can sometimes use the shore line as a guide. This may help you swim straighter.

Ie: you breathe and at the same time, visually check that:
a) You're paralleling the shore
b) You're always staying relatively the same distance away from the beach

This only works with a straight shore line, obviously. LOL

Also, this doesn't take into account waves.... If there are big waves (like I suspect there are in CA - you're better off breathing on the side where they don't hit you smack in the face! LOL)

(I've never done a tri. But I have done some ocean swims. And I suspect it will be tougher to do this while you're surrounded by 400 people! But I thought it might be worth mentioning, as an idea.)

Also, your buoyancy will change between salt and fresh water. You'll be more buoyant in salt/ocean water. (Actually - you probably know about this from diving, already.)

If your lucky you will find a swimmer about your pace to follow too!

I almost ALWAYS swim off course in open water because I dont site... i should but Im just so used to pool swimming... as long as you make sure you do site and dont trust that you are swimming in a straight line youll be ok...

You may not realise you adjust your stroke to swim in a straight line in a pool butwithout the black line to follow you all of a sudden realise you do!

Awwwwww maaaaaaaaaan

No one has noticed my pretty new *star*

LOL



I see it. But I just got here. So no, I didn't comment on it yet.

As I said before, when Cat got hers.... It needs to be SILVER. Sparkly, shiny (gaudy) SILVER.

Gray -- just doesn't cut it.

So, in summary - we've always suspected that you posted a lot. This just proves it. LOL!

kns57 - 2007-11-14 9:26 AM You all have been busy today. first official day back at work and I spent most of it dealing with staff problems that arose while I was gone. Bummer. Why can't the mice all behave when the cat (not you CAT, you can play) is away?

hmmm given how much time I spend on here Im not sure I ever behave... the truth is boss out of the office = relax.... = much less work gets done

Yeah, but it's a library and they pissed off some of the customers. Way to go.

ok thats totally different.... you dont do anything BAD like that when the boss is away.... not good



Yeah, they can play all they want, just don't anyone off so that the boss has to clean up after them when she gets back. Only 18 days to my next vacation. I'm already ready after being back in the building one day.
