Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! (Page 21)

No Trixie, He is NOT the boss of you!! I AM!! Now get on that bike and top JBD's avatar!!

Or not, whatever you would like to do!

The new job is going well here and the training is picking up a little bit. I hope everyone is doing well. I don't know about you all but I am ready for some spring like weather to get out and ride!!! 

This week is not going well. I need some mentoring and also some inspiration. I got the flu a couple of weeks ago and I haven't felt 100% since then. I am afraid of NOT working out and NOT being able to keep up with my IMcDA program. I need to add those miles and swim those yards.

I know I need to take it easy... but I just don't want to... I don't want to...

Nah!! Forget about it!!!  

Luis!! It doesn't do your body or your training any good to push it when it's trying to heal. Take a break and let your body recover. A few days of R & R won't hurt your fitness a bit.

You will feel sooooo much better after a good rest. If it doesn't work we all get to beat Trixie with a wet noodle!!!

Get well my friend so you can enjoy the season!!  

wet noodle....cool. 

don't do it

 Actually , wet noodle is a result of really cold pool water...

I WAS IN THE POOL!! I WAS IN THE POOL!!!

not me, George Castanza

I personally don't like that kind of frosting so I would avoid it.   See if you can use it in a phot for the Trixie avatar contest.

JBD ~ BRING BACK THE NAKED TRIATHLETE!!!!

 Why do you think we have so many views of our group???? sheeez

I know, I feel so dirty.  I guess people just want to see how naked our group members will get, hoping there are more, secret pics in here??  Or perhaps, they feel like they are saved if they just have a brush with the Bob/Trixie effect?  We also do have quite a few IM finishers (yourself included) in here (Sadly not me, yet). 

HEY EVERYONE!!!! I'm taking a day off today and would love to hear how everyone is doing!! February's winding down and the season is coming upon us pretty fast!! How are you coming with your goals and training?

Luis!! How are you doing? Your last post was worrisome! I hope your rest days are going well!

Carla, Congrats on the weight loss!! You're doing awesome and are on your way to doing very well in the triathlon in May!! Keep up the great work and remember little workouts count too!! 

Cathy!! Keep it up girl!! Your doing great getting the workouts in!!

I have to run now but keep up the great work!! Let's keep the motivation up and get through the rest of the winter!!! I am jealous of all of you who can ride outside without worrying about frostbite!!! 

Okay, this week I have put in my 40 hours in at work so I can take tomorrow off and head down to Clermont, Florida, to put in some serious training that I have been lacking these past few weeks.  I honestly don't believe I am on the right base at the moment.  So today I'm going to pick up my bike from the shop.  I had a 12-27 put on my training wheels.  I can't wait to feel the difference this Saturday morning.  I need to start building some 'hills skills'.  Living in Florida is great but like Bob is always saying 'Where are the hills?!'

What's everyone doing this weekend?

I am going to play in the woods with DW (daddy wilderness, aka mr trixie) improving the habitat for little birdies. Then sunday I will meet with my regular BT MI weekend running pals and go long.  Then next week.....serious training again.  No more messing around.

We just moved back to Arkansas from Florida last January and I am soooo missing the flat rides.  There are no flat spots here.  I loved the rails-to-trails out there.  Careful on the roads, my husband was hit by a large pick-up (and they didn't stop).  Thank goodness a good samaritan followed the truck and got the tag #.   It paid well, but I don't think he appreciated getting hit much.

I'm official...I joined USAT.  There's no turning back now...right?!?!

hey Peeps...   This weekend I will be taking some time off..   I;ll do Nothing big...    I will only  be running a 5K on Saturday and probably swim on sunday or ride (trainer).   I thought about just taking some days completely off, but I have been before I have bounced pretty well.   

I am also in the process of reconsidering my diet.    I am a vegetarian so I always have issues eating enough protein and carnitine which my muscles need to recover.   It has been hard to find a vegetarian substitute specially for the essential amino acids.

 Any ideas? 

Other than that,  next week is going to be a recovery week.    

It will always be there, burnt into your corneas...It became challenging to post as the "naked man" so I had to change.  It will always be on Trixie's avatar contest page(s) for a refresher.

Off to swim in the pool in the driving rain.  YEEEHAWWW. 

YAY!!!!  CONGRATS 

 Put that sticker on your vehicle and be proud! 

I just got a new vehicle that has the front plate.  I wish they made a USAT license plate.

I got an Ironman Finisher's license plate frame....    It is cool...  and people do notice..   

I have the domed M-dot on one side of my rear window and the USAT sticker on the other.

I like pulling into the parking lot at Flatwoods and seeing all the USAT stickers on cars.  It makes me feel like less of a freak.

I want the dome IM sticker on my car! I went back to get one after IMFL but they already sold out.  I didn't want to get it prior to finishing.. otherwise I would have jinx myself, right?  BUT alas, I'll get one at IMAZ. . . 

Time for sleep!!!  Is there such a thing as too much rest??
