Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! (Page 2)

Okay John and Luis, you 2 are my last 2. Welcome to the group. I'll touch base with everyone tomorrow when I have some time. (I took the day off work! )

Luis, I think you and Trixie will have a lot to talk about seeing as you both are playing with a few cards short of a deck! (Nobody in their right mind likes to do ultras!!)

That being said, I'll probably be doing one before too long. I'm not in my right mind either!! 

Craig...... You're in too my friend!!! Sorry if I left you out! I'll get a list of the group on my blog tomorrow!!!

We're coming up on the first weekend of the new year!!! What does everyone have in store for training?

If you're not already doing so, try to use the training logs to keep track of your training. The route tracker is a great tool and is very accurate. It also has a feature that will keep statistics for individual routes. If you have a route that you want to use as a standard to run every couple weeks, the site will keep the statistics for that route.

Take care and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! 

Well Big daddy, (you don't mind me calling you big daddy do you??) this chick is gonna get a massage and bike today. And there is a long run in store for me this weekend...maybe. I'm pretty early in the training so I may take it easy this weekend and watch some football

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND PEEPS! 

Trixie ......... With that avatar you can call me anything you want!

Ya know, a dip in the pool wouldn't hurt you either!! I take it you're biking outside since you sent us this below zero weather it must be in the 50's for you today.  

Jason, welcome to the group. It sounds like you are going to fit right in. Let me say that one of the most memorable parts of IMWI was running on Badger Field. That was a treat.

It sounds like you are in triathlon training heaven down there. We'll get you on the right track, we've got a group with a wide variety of backgrounds here. Keep the posts coming and I will offer any advice and be asking some advise from everyone as well.

BTW - Guiness has 125 calories per 12 oz serving!! Woop! Woop!! 

Pool?  huh...would you explain to me what this "pool" is?  I'm not familiar.  Is it similar to the water we swam around in at IMMOO? I think that was the last time I swam.... 

Trixie you're killin' me!

The "pool" is usually a rectangular shaped hole in the ground that is filled with chlorinated water. It had lines on the bottom to aid in swimming laps. Usually in the U.S. the "pool" is 25 yards in length and it takes 70 lengths of said "pool" to swim 1 mile. (This 70 lengths is less than 1/2 of the IM you will be signing up for!!)

I thought our swim at IMMOO should have made the highlights!!!  

Oh, THAT's a pool.  Got it.  Like a ce-ment pond? 

YES!!

 please big daddy?? PLEASE??

Shaun - How could I refuse a person that would actually take a break for "ROOM SERVICE"!!!

Welcome Cubie!!! 

trixie - 2008-01-04 5:35 PM You best stay in your own thread there, Rob. I'm much stronger than I smell look.

Lisa, embarrassed about some strong body odor, hmmm?  

You know, showers are good at helping those things.  Possibly even going into a POOL.  Just some thoughts. 

That wasn't a "break"!  That was me lunging to make sure the door was LOCKED!!!

Ok people..  after two weeks of heavy travel I am back in the country..   I'll probably do a small swim today, but starting monday I will start heavy...

Goals for this comming week,

Run three times (30 miles+)

Swim three times (9000 yards)

Order trainer this week and find out about spinning classes at my gym....

I'm gonna do something tomorrow for a long time. Then I'm gonna eat for a long time. Then I might nap for a long time.

This week...bike/run/yoga...each shall be done 3x or more.

And I may see if the campus pool is open... 

Did I hear someone say pool? That makes me excited Trix!! Before you do your something for a long time, don't forget to stretch out your hamstrings!!!  

Welcome back Luis!! Sounds like some pretty awesome goals for the week. I am envious of your running already! The spin classes are a great way to keep your biking legs in the winter. I take an extra towel and create makeshift aero bars, I can get that spin bike to set up almost identical to my tri bike. 

Have a great week!!! 

Anyone else have some weekly goals they would like to post? It's a great way to stay motivated, especially when the rest of the group can call you a slacker!

I hope everyone is out there training!! I'm anxious to see how everyone's doing! 

so jealous.
