My knee has been bugging me, so I plan to take it easier today and I have a run planned for tomorrow. I am heading to Kenya on a mission trip starting Thursday, so no official training for me next week. I think I'll be working though! I'm pretty excited!! Keep moving bEasties! |

| Pro 4343 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: bEASTies - March Winds Challenge If you are still interested in my group ride saga I just prodded a response: The impromptu rides which take place via the yahoo group are not announced via our club website nor "officially supported" by <tri club>. I'd take time before any ride you're involved with to set some "ride rules" but no guarantees on whether or not the group will listen. Only events listed on the <tri club> website under the training tab are official club events. This has to do with insurance and "club responsibilities". Hope this helps. It's a trial and error process to find a group that you like to train with and feel comfortable with. Put out your requirements/requests to the Yahoo group and see what happens. You may be pleasantly surprised. Ride safe, <president> I responded that I can see the distinction but I'm not sure everyone else would, so from a club liability standpoint this should be stated explicitly somewhere. I guess this is why I prefer to ride/train solo <sigh> |

Next thing I knew, it was 6:40. So I'll head to the Y for a spin class at lunch. Tomorrow morning is my 10 mile run and I'm actually looking forward to that. What a shame Bill  If you are feeling tired at lunch - take a nap - you can catch up next month - lol I am guilty of your above statement many a time. Sometimes the body knows more than we do what it needs. Have a great spin! Ya know Bill... that' nap's sounding pretty good! |
