Gretchen the class is Advanced Human Sexuality but I could see the similarities, I am taking the class to fulfill an upper level diversity requirement. Should prove to be a pretty interesting class. The only awkwardness I feel is that the other 150 students in the class are all younger than my own children!

positive vibes for the sugary and recovery Scott! Those pictures are awesome! that looks like an awesome run, Do they do runs a lot at Disney? I am thinking about a trip down there maybe next year around this time, Daughter will be almost 4, and I think she would get a real kick out of it.

Check out Run Disney for a schedule of runs. They tend to sell out FAST so plan ahead and be ready to register the day it opens. For the longer runs at Disneyland, only the first 10k or so are in/around the parks, the HM route goes out in Anaheim for the rest.

4/5 (23/400)--1600 yd swim at lunch I feel really fast because I did the entire main set using swim fins and paddles due to time constraints.

I'm down for the 200 min challenge for next week! Just yesterday I scheduled two "fitness dates" with friends. Instead of going out for lunch, we are going to play racquetball or tennis (depending on the friend). I feel like I'm coming out of my shell in terms of being an "athlete". Instead of hiding the fact that I workout from folks, I'm talking about it. I used to be "afraid" (afraid isn't really the right word, but I'm not sure what is) that people would think I surly couldn't be working out because I'm large. I recently realized I don't really care what people say/think about me working out. Not sure why it too so long to reach this conclusion about working out, it has been my attitude about nearly everything else for ages!

Off to donate blood this afternoon. Hoping my wife will accept that as a good reason to avoid fixing that shelf tonight!

Happy Training Everyone!!

Wow! Great and inspiring posts, everyone!! You keep my motivation up!

So last week I did a ride on the trainer, swam Saturday - knee was doing pretty well until I over-extended it on my last swim lap a couple of times. No biggie until I skied on Sunday. Throbbing knee all night Sunday night and half of Monday. It's calming down though and i went to the PT today. Bursitis has been the issue apparently. No running... On the bright side I can swim...with a leg buoy! That is a serious upper body workout to do all arms. Hahaha. Well, I should have really good technique when all is said and done. I can also ride my trainer still on easy gears - which will certainly keep me in zone 2.
Happily I'm flying tomorrow - should be beautiful out - and then I'm going to hit the pool for some serious upper body workout. LOL

On the beer front, at the surprise 40th we threw for a friend when we all had to dress as rock stars, I had Switchback Porter. I hadn't had that one yet and it was delightful. i had three and enjoyed every one of them; nice and smokey but not overpowering.
I'm back, baby! Well...half of me is anyway...and that's better than none.

Cheers!
Jenn

kevin I feel your pain. I was suppose to do 6 today but 3 was all I could muster. Just didn't have it. Not sure if I mentioned it on here or not. I have surgery on my left elbow Monday. I have had no feeling for almost 10 months but my hand has started cramping and I am losing strength in it. Having a nerve decompressed. Doc says I can run and ride my bike on the trainer as soon as I feel up to it, and I can swim once the stiches heal. I may be posting a lot about beer and not so much on my workouts. hahaha long run planed for sunday hopefully I will feel better about it

Hi everyone!

I would love to join if there is still space! I was reading through the previous posts and think this group sounds super supportive and positive!

NAME: Nicole

STORY: I have lived in Baltimore for...wow, almost 7 years now I think. Weird. I grew up as an athlete, which included swimming (elementary school) and track and XC (high school and college), along with a lot of team sports. Once I stopped running, I knew I had to find a way to stay in shape, and wanted to 'tri' I kept making excuses though of why I didn't have enough time to train and blah blah blah. Last year I finally decided it was now or never, and I started training for my first sprint tri (I was a middle distance runner who was forced to run XC in college, haha, so not much of a distance person). I competed in 2 sprints last year and am totally hooked!

FAMILY STATUS: I am 30 and single, but have the best cat ever (Raven...not named after the Ravens, although I am a big fan!)

CURRENT TRAINING: I'm getting back into the swing of things, although Disney World last week and Las Vegas this weekend are messing up my routine. I'm trying to build a good base through a weight class, a cycling class and swimming and running at least once a week. I will do more once my vacations are over!

2014 RACES: I competed in the Allatoona (GA) and Baltimore Tris, both sprints.

RACES PLANNED FOR 15: I haven't actually planned which ones I will do this year, but I want to do at least 2 sprints. I would commit to more, but I have 4-5 weddings and don't know how many weekends I will actually have open.

BEER PREFERENCE: I do not like hoppy beers, so I am more of a light beer drinker (although I do HATE Coors light). I can usually find a good beer that I enjoy though, and love drinking with good people!

WEIGHT LOSS: I am up a bit higher than I would like to be. I want to drop 15 lbs, but my shorter term goal is 6-7 lbs.

Justin, I used to get up there! I flew charter for a while and flew a lot of fishermen into and out of everywhere from Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the northern reaches of Ontario and Quebec - great walleye eating up there. I then flew commercially all over the world until my second son; stopped the commercial airline and now I teach Instrument Ground School in an aviation program at a local college and flight instruct. I'm hoping to get back to commercial flying but am enjoying having holidays and birthdays off while I can now (and have time to train)! My brother is a controller here in Vermont - we harass each other over the airways on occasion. Today I had a CFI student up - good times.

Seeing Colleen and Gretchen's comments about worrying about what others think, I thought I'd share two sayings that I love.

First, my father always said, "Never make fun of someone who is trying to better themselves." This is the first thing I would say to someone who made fun of someone else exercising.

As for the second saying, I'm not sure where this one comes from, but I love it:

"When I was 20, I worried what people thought about me"
"When I was 40, I didn't care what people thought about me."
"When I was 60, I realized that they weren't really ever thinking about me."

Good on ya for doing what you want and being who you want to be regardless of others.
