Science Nerd  28760       Redwood City, California |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes)Originally posted by blueyedbikergirl Originally posted by Artemis Originally posted by blueyedbikergirl Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by TriAya P.S. I've also gone vegan (and whole foods organic whenever possible). Not strictly: if someone gives me a cheese-flavored cracker I'll eat it, I won't turn down ice-cream, and if someone made a veggie soup with chicken broth that's cool too. But no meat, dairy, eggs, very little processed food. Exceptions are made for things like Pop Tarts (but I do have some organic vegan ones!) and Nutri-Grain either before long sessions or as recovery food after. That's great! I will NEVER be vegetarian but I have made some efforts to scale back on the meat which is INSANE for me. I went like 3 days without. Madness!!! I won't ever be vegetarian either. Dead animals are just too gosh darned tasty. I was a vegetarian for about 4 years. It was not good for my health. I got super anemic. I have low stored iron even with eating animals, so it's really hard for me to get enough if I'm not eating meat. I'm the same with my iron - I recently started taking a daily iron supplement (on the advice from my doctor) and I've noticed a nice change in that I'm not nearly as fatigued anymore. I have to have iron in my multi-vitamin. The only time I didn't use it was during pregnancy because the iron made my hyperemesis a lot worse. |

Veteran 940 Citrus Heights, CA | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Its official, they transferred the reg. over to me. I am running my first half marathon on Saturday night!  If I make it in within 3 hours, I will consider it a great race.....nevermind that the farthest RUN distance I have done was 10 miles...back in February, and that the farthest I have run at one time since then was 7.8 miles....I am betting there will be plenty of walking during this, and plenty of pain on Sunday. At least I have my running team there to cheer me on--and take pics! |

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by TriAya Congratulations! I've been mostly vegetarian for about 6 months now and haven't lost a pound. Don't know why unless it is my weekend alcohol and nightly ice cream P.S. <----- this pic: now 25lb lighter. I've also gone vegan (and whole foods organic whenever possible). Not strictly: if someone gives me a cheese-flavored cracker I'll eat it, I won't turn down ice-cream, and if someone made a veggie soup with chicken broth that's cool too.

Originally posted by blueyedbikergirl Originally posted by Asalzwed So, now my focus has shifted to this weekend's big race. The milk mile. It goes: drink, lap, drink, lap, drink, lap, drink lap. Gawd I am hoping for 8 oz glasses of milk, Puullleeeeeease You're so gonna hurl! I can't! It's like a 2 minute deduction!!! I'ma hold it in! |

We go out to friends' houses and every so often have the thought of 'maybe we should look at moving to...' and then those thoughts go away when we think of having to buy a car to go anywhere, not being able to walk to work, the theater, restaurants, grocery stores, shops, the lake, being 2 blocks from the lakefront trail, having all the festivals, etc. within walking distance... I'll put up with a little of the eee-oooo, eee-oooo night time noises for what I do get out of it. I miss having a motorcycle - but no way are you getting me on a d a mn Harley! I'm a sport bike girl. Ah yeah, that's a nice mix. In that case, have us over! |

Master 1890 Gig Harbor | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) A Little late chiming in on the "Apartment vs House" thing but... When I purchased and moved into my first home, I still remember getting the best night of sleep I have ever had that first night. When my wife and I separated - moving from my home back to an apartment was one of the toughest adjustments I have ever had to make. I heard every single little noise, and I didn't sleep worth a darn for about 2 months. I also felt like I was taking a step backward in life. Very difficult after working so hard to become a homeowner. I then learned to love living in an apartment. A lot less responsibility - nice to call the maintenance man when something broke - no yard word etc. Of course, I also missed doing all those things (sense of pride) when I owned my home. Kind of a double edged sword for me. I now live in a 2 story duplex. Love where I live. Seems like a good compromise. |

I tend to do best with thinking more like vegetarian towards getting much what I need out of things like fruits, vegetables, rice, etc, and then use some quality meat to compliment that. David Zabriski said awhile back that he eats basically vegetarian plus some fish. Some misunderstood, thinking he deluding himself into thinking he was a vegetarian, but that wasn't it. He was just simplifying the thought process towards his diet. |

Master 1890 Gig Harbor | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) OK Manatee's - time for some swim homework. I've been playing with the GoPro (which I love) - and I did a very short video and some pics of my swim stroke. I am looking to shave about 20 seconds off my cruising pace and 10 seconds of my best race pace, so your homework is to analyze the pizz out of this video. Get picky... I mean real picky. You will not hurt my feelings. After you post your suggestions - I will post what I noticed.

Eary vertical forearm needs improving along with keeping the elbows higher. The longer you can keep the forearm vertical through the pull the more power you will generate. Lowering the head in the water will improve your streamlining. Look down a bit more. Reduce the size of your kick as now it is too wide and causing drag. Hope this helps.
Perhaps this video might help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIzBaSiWdRA

But , to me, the thing that stands out the most, it appears you have a fair bit of over glide, giving a fair amount of dead time in your stroke. Shoot me down if I'm wrong, I'm still trying to learn this stuff. |
