Nice - Way to Go!

That's funny!  So that's typical then for a convenience store?

Nice ride too - fast!

19:10 is right in the middle of the fat part of the curve.  Just remember the purpose of the TT is to measure progress.  You now have your starting point and can work on improving it.

Nice job.

Trying to motivate myself to head out on my long run.  My husband made me french press coffee, which I am currently sipping, but will head out soon.  It's going to be another beautiful day here in Alpharetta.

before yesterday's ride got mess outside the "House of Doors" in Cheshire, CT.

Meh - cant get the picture in - it s big paul buyon

As you get more rural, sort of.  You see random things more often than not it revolves around meat or Mexican food.  Fresh smoked meat (usually sausage or brisket), fresh beef jerkey, tamales home made in the back etc.  More like a country store than a convenience store.

And thanks.

Kelly - thank you for the feedback on the TT.   I hope to improve the time during next month's test!!

I hit the roads at 6:15 this morning wearing a tank top and shorts.  The weather is beautiful here!  12 miles in the books.  I came home and my kids had some gifts on the kitchen table.  My favorite was a poem written by my 6 year old (Conrad):

I love my mom.

I love to see my mom play video games with me.

I love to hear my mom's voice.

I love the smell of my mom's hair.

I love to taste my mom's cabbage.

I love to touch my mom's hand.

I love my mom.

Isn't that the cutest thing in the world?  It made me cry.

Fantastic job!  That's amazing!!  Congratulations. 

It sounds like you've all had some crazy bike rides this week - rabid dogs, going off the road into ditches, and bike malfunctions.  Wow! 

Well, I'm waiting for the official times to be posted online, but my Garmin said I beat my goal time in today's triathlon

I show 1hr 25min 58secs...I went in to it thinking 1:30 - 1:40 would be about right for me. 

I had a good time, too, and that's really what it's about for guys like me bringing up the rear. The best part is, my friend who is fast (he was 1hr 15secs) gets done in plenty of time to come cheer me on at the finish! 

Good for you!  And quite a bit faster than your expected time.  Nice!

Nice job.  Don't be thinking that improving 25 minutes in a sprint is out of your reach.  Making big gains (especially when you're fairly new to the sport and consistent training) is totally do-able. 

That is adorable (and frame-able).

Lotta people in the pool!
