that figures... pfft...
 

i know a lot of people swear by coldfx 

I'm a ZICAM girl myself.  I take it at the first sign of a cold and can usually keep it at bay.

they are okay.  edit.  i typed out long boring answer then deleted it because it was long and boring.  so i should add here to keep in mind your definition of okay when relating it back to the accuracy of where you are on the earth.  if you're concerned about tenth's of a mile over say 50 miles then maybe its not okay.

i'm gonna go to the gym and pee in the pool. and then tell the old ladies i did.  and then they'll say wow, very cool you can still tell when you're going.  then after thinking about that for a few seconds i'll get grossed out and leave. 

be safe tonight peeps.  please!  its freakin' amateur hour out there. 

I have gotten cramps during pushes off the wall before. This seems to happen to me most when it is a morning swim after a late afternoon or evening run, or a lunchtime swim after a morning run.  It has never happened on the bike before.  I always relate it to tight muscles from the run vs. electrolytes/hydration because it only seems to happen with the run/swim combination...has never happened after a bike.

Not tomorrow, but after Disney next week, going to be a serious bike focus for me.

BTW, wasn't someone else here doing Disney besides Sam and I?

Oh and it's supposed to be in the mid 50's here today and 60's tomorrow, lol what are we going to do?

Looking at Disney it' supposed to be in the 70's glad we are getting some warmth here this week, quite a shock to go from 30 - 70.

Hey peeps.  Just got caught up on all the posts.  Been a good few days here.  Got my brother from the Syracuse airporton Tuesday.  Made for 8 hours of driving for me by the time we got to my parents house but was well worth it to get him home.  Spent Wedneday in NYC and saw the broadway musical "Promises, Promises"...very funny show!  NYC was still a mess from the snow but they should be good to go tonight for NYE.  Last night had an awesome dinner with my cousins and brother at a family style italian place...good times and good food!  Have to get my head around getting back to reality on Monday - not looking forward to that!

Catching up on a few of Suzy's questions:

My concern for 2011 is the same as a lot of people - balance as I go longer this year.  Traing for a half and for a marathon...fitting that in with little to no impact on family life will be a challenge.

No racing this weekend.  Spending NYE with the extended family tonight and then tomorrow heading back up towards home to the cabin to go skiing with my parents and brother on Sunday.  I don't do new year's resolutions but some things I need to make happen in 2011...get my weight down to around 160-163 and make better use of the morning for training time (to help with the impact on family life mentioned above!).

Tony - Battenkill...I haven't mapped it out but I think that I am about 4 hours or so from there based on where it showed it was on the map.  Might be a little closer to the NYC folks but still a few hours.  A few guys from our club were considering doing that but decided they weren't ready for the pain yet - it is supposed to be a killer!  I heard that it sold out really fast - good luck getting in!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year's Eve.

George

Good morning MG Peeps. Off work today. So Home Depot-Costco-Bowling or swimming-in laws house.
Nice relaxing day again.

Tony - we are going to Disneyland in Jan. maybe you're confusing that?

Suzy question - for me, I just want to enjoy the 8 months journey.

have a great new years all.

My wife said it best 2010 was a year of CHANGE.

We are taking on 2011 as a year of CHALLANGE

For her she is going to try and get out of her comfort box and try new things, new workout programs at her Gym and other things with working out. She works out alone and is not comfortable in group settings. So this year she has signed up for a couple of workout programs at her Gym.

for me it will be more Food control, Better management, micromanagement of eating for weight loss. And pushing myself harder on Runs, Swims, Biking and learning more about myself, my abilities and my limits.

All this while attempting to maintain some balance and still get out and do some scuba diving.

so on my ride today i'm sporting a 310 care of trevor.  (long story, thanks again man).  i'm wearing it under two long sleeve shirts and then my gloves go past my wrist, so i can't see the thing, nor do i want to at this point.  so off i go.  first mile,  it vibrates.  hmmm, i didn't think i was going this fast.  cool though.  second mile same thing and i just kinda stop thinking about it.  actually start wondering why on earth someone want this thing to vibrate all the freaking time.  so i get down to  mile 6, look at the watch and damn, it hit me.  i should have paid more attention at mile one.  this thing is on km's not miles.  i still suck!   and i'm not sure how on earth i didn't pick that up at the first km. 

ha!
