Yep! Finally left around 9 or so - I think it will be worth the late night, I feel very prepared for tomorrow!

Feels good doesn't it?

Me? Oh, a little to much BT time today. I've left myself quite the busy two days to finish the week. There will of course still be time to run and swim, because they are oh so fun.

It does feel good! I'm heading up a very major project right now and tomorrow is the first day I turn over deliverables to the IT team - I wanted to exceed expectations, I hope I will

You will! I know it!

RunningJayhawk - 2008-04-30 2:31 PM Boooo!!!! Well...the wet suit came. And fits brilliantly. It's a photo documentation of the experience. I've got a few pics posted in my google photo albums section if you can access that...

Brilliant!

It's hard to say no to pixie dust and a cattle prod.

Wait. It's not even May yet. Too early for the cattle prod?

ROTFLMAO!!!

So, for the record, I've only ever used pixie dust

I have maybe threatened to borrow Dee's cattle prod or Mila's whip...................I mean, I will use what ever it takes to motivate and inspire..........

I have tris on May 31st and June 7th. My tapers are insanely unpredictable, so I had no idea how to estimate my training volumes for the month. Soooo, since the challenges have helped me get this far, I figured I'd stick around and cheer on some BT peeps this month while I enter taper madness.

Now... lets see if this works

Hey gang! This is going to be fun.

Barb, I covet your wetsuit. How did you get it for free? Without giving too much away, what part of Chicago are you from? I have people in Arlington Heights. Love the city! It kicks St. Louis's a$$!!

Stuck in the middle with you is in Reservoir Dogs? I'll have to watch again....

Good to be on a great team! Whoo-hoo! Monsters of the Midway!

I got it through the March BT raffle for having filled out gear reviews. I really needed a wet suit for this season and since things are a bit tight around here b/c of personal coaching...I may or may not have been writing reviews for every piece of gear that I own

ANyhoo....I'm right downtown. In River North.

If somebody will help set up a team chart (I'll give it a go, though) I can handle it. Maybe Dee can lend me a cattle prod.

Oh honey.

Once a cheerleader, ALWAYS a cheerleader.

I cheered for lord knows how many years...and on really tough long runs and rides...I find myself doing the old routines in my head.

No joke.

Haha... I can't really say in a public forum what I say to myself on long runs or bike time trials. About the only person who really knows the true wrath of my vocabulary is myself.

Now you've got me wondering.

When I'm in the "bite me" zone...I barter with myself.

Now Barb...if you run these last 4 miles at XX pace...you can treat yourself to ....

fill in the blank.

9 times out of 10 it's something inappropriate.

The tenth time it's ice cream or decked out FroYo from Berry Chill.

I absolutely berate myself. I call myself every deragatory name in the book and then some. Then when I suck it up to prove myself wrong, I give my mind the finger and say "never doubt me again, just get out of my way."

Corny yeah, but it works.
