Ghoulie March (STILL BIKING) Madness!!! (Page 22)

ironannekidd - 2010-03-29 4:02 AM Good morning Ghoulies!!!

It looks like there was lots of biking and running this weekend. WOOHOO!!!

My weekend didn't go as planned, but they rarely ever do.

Some extenuating circumstances kept me out of the pool on Saturday. I did get to the park yesterday for a try at a run. It is 2 miles around the park. I started off speedwalking. Once I felt warmed up a bit, it was cold and windy out, I started a slow jog. I felt ok for the most part. There were a few small declines that my knee did not appreciate, so I walked those. For the most part I felt ok though. I only did 1 lap because I was not dressed for the weather at all. I didn't realize it was so windy out. Tonight will be a spin on the bike and tomorrow I'm going back to the park for at least 2 laps.

I started a new blog, too. When I get home tonight and look up the link to it I'll add it in here. I fell like I've just been phoning in my workouts lately so I thought putting a blog out there that more people could see might help make me more accountable.

Have a great day Ghoulies!

Sorry Strawberry are my weapon of choice and they have to be toasted

I'm with Kim on this one. Cinnamon and brown sugar Pop tarts are great, toasted or not.

wgraves7582 - 2010-03-29 7:13 AM I don't think you guys have met my new steed yet!!!

ironannekidd - 2010-03-29 8:26 AM I am applying for more gov't positions. They have KSA questions that need to be answered as part of the application process (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities).

I am racking my brain trying to answer these questions and I just can't do it. I'm not a salesman, I have problems saying all the work I've done and such.

I need to finish these so I can apply though.

I hate to say it but I agree with Bill Strawberry and toasted are the way to go. Maybe I could come up with a solar powered toaster for him.

Hippy

You have a better idea big engineering guy?

When I do an IM someday I'll have a solar hookup to my Garmin to charge the battery while I'm on the bike so it lasts the whole time.

iowagander - 2010-03-29 1:18 PM

I was just messing around. That's actually a very good idea on the solar back-up for your GPS during an IM. It would really suck to lose power a few miles before the end of the race!

wgraves7582 - 2010-03-29 1:20 PM You would think someone could come up with something for watches/bike lights/etc!!!

Not that I want to interfere with the friendly banter going on between you 2 -

If you prefer your pop-tarts  fingers toasted, maybe you should pack one of these.

ironannekidd - 2010-03-29 10:29 AM

Fixed thata for you
