 Pennsylvania |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?)I want to hug Smoky, he's so dear and seems to have lots of moxie. I hope his health continues to improve and you get some sleep so you aren't putting kitty formula in your coffee! |

Yanti, maybe Smoky could help out here? I'd eat 'em ... I had my coffee with baby formula today ... neeeed sleeep ... anyone else read Farley Mowat's Never Cry Wolf, the mouse recipe? Speaking of Smoky ...
He's looking great!! Cleaning himself and playing is a great sign!! In re: "Never Cry Wolf," if you start peeing around your house to mark your territory, it's time to call in reinforcements to take case of Smoky. |

Originally posted by mcmanusclan5 I'm not sure who among us doesn't think about this. There are crosses and "white bikes" (a shrine bike painted white - the equivalent of a cross - where a cyclist was killed) every few miles around here, it seems. Honestly, it makes cycling less appealing and tri somewhat harder. I keep getting buzzed (recently about 2 feet away whilst going a bit over 40 - long downhill - by a car that crossed over the white line well into the shoulder to show me who's boss... they were going about 70). Makes you think... Matt Matt, you may want to sign up: http://closecalldatabase.com/ I'm not convinced that it will do any good or not, but at least someone is making an effort. After reading the reasons behind it, I made sure to sign up. I do believe that the biggest difference we make in life comes from the small things we do for one another. If I can be a better member of the cycling community and look out for my fellow cyclists, then maybe I can make a difference and help someone when they have that kind of need. Janyne finds some of the coolest stuff! |

| Chatham Ontario | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) brrr noooo running outside for me today or yesterday. I sucked it up and ran on a treadmill yesterday. It is coooooold as heck today. And windy. I hate to say it but winter is officially here in Canada and I am officially stuck in doors. I have had a solid week of being back at it. Eating well and working out. Sort of checking in as I am launching a new robot cell the next two days and will be off the face of the earth both days. Long days and hoping I can get some work outs in at end of day. |

What is a robot cell? Sorry Engineering geek. robot cell - it is a machine I am installing on one of the ends of our press line. It will pick the parts up transfer it to a dial table/automation and place steel gaskets on top and bottom and then weld the gaskets to the part. The part will then go onto a V6 turbo charged engine. Installed all the automation before Christmas and made computers and stuff talk to each other. Now it is time to run it and debug it and make it run 1 part every 7.5 seconds.

He's very nearly banned me from riding on the road too, but I think I'm there myself already As I spend more time on my bike, this is one thing I'm afraid of. My fiance worries about it all the time too. Usually I try to ride in groups if I ride outside. Fortunately during the winter I spend a lot of time on the trainer or on the MTB trails. I often find that riding in groups makes it worse as many of my friends want to socialize, ride 2-3 abrest, and then there's the endless line of cyclists that cars need to pass that tick motorists off. Living in a city that hosts a half Iron distance race doesn't make life any easier. I stayed off the Augusta half Ironman course all of last year and rode my bike as far away from that area simply because the natives are NOT happy with us. Unfortunately, we're not a bike friendly area. We have a total of two bike baths...one is 7 miles in length and the other is 5. Edited by glfprncs 2015-01-07 3:19 PM |

Hope the launch goes well and you don't end up launching the thing out the window. |

The group I ride with are a bunch of guys that road race and/or ride every ride like it's a race, so it's usually a fun filled hammerfest where socializing can and will result in getting dropped. It's the kind of ride that IM training plans say to avoid like the plague, but man oh man are they fun! Our area is relatively car friendly, but strength in numbers definitely helps. |

The bike shop has had a couple of those rides that ended up in the ditch in fisticuffs. It wasn't a pretty sight.  |

| 20 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Managed to swim 250 meters today! Decided to swim more and work on technique (I suck!) instead of walking for 20 minutes so the last 100 meters or so was slow and I stopped a lot to reset myself. It's slowly coming together. Speaking of cyclist getting hit by cars I had a side mirror slammed into my shoulder one day a few years back despite being in a bike lane! I am not quite sure how I didn't wreck but it sure scare the crap out of me! Shoulder was sore for a few days afterwards. I have also had someone open their door right as I am riding by and managed to squeak by without harm, thank god for good reflexes!... |

I waited 3 weeks for it to fix itself, tried a soft reset, uninstalled the program from my computer, then just did a hard reset because I was tired of having to enter my info manually on BT. |

I had a kitty that I had to feed by dropper because he was too young to be taken from his mommy. His name was Fortissimo because everything he did was very loud. Did you know cats could have corneal transplants? Me neither until Fortissimo had two. I had to put him to sleep a few years ago a week after he turned 23. He had been my boss for half my life. Smoky is going to have an amazing life with his new family! |

Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by ponderingfox How many races is TOO many races? I'm considering a six-race Oly series (of which I'll prob do five), as well as three or four Wednesday night short course races during the same time period. I really love racing. I'd say the A race, if any would be the last Oly. (My spring A race is on the wedding day of a friend of mine. She's getting married at 2 pm, the race is 4.5 hours away in Lansing, and I'm not sure of the start time. Not sure if I can make it back in time. That's a bummer, because I really like that sprint, and was hoping to improve on a top 10% finish last year.) What are the downsides to a schedule like this, or does the ability to race a ton override that? Tom, I recently read and article about racing a lot and I finally found it last night. Unfortunately, the article is online in html-type format. You can access it here: http://issuu.com/acatrineilucian/docs/runners_world_-_february_2015__usa/44 - Speed into Shape on page 46 And also, I really like the shoe charm on page 15. Oh! I found it on etsy!
Ohhhhh! Thanks |

He's a cute little devil. |
Glad he's getting back to his kitty self. Just sing "Soft kitty, warm kitty. Little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty. Purr, purr, purr." to him before bed...he'll be better in no time.| 2015-01-07 11:13 PM in reply to: jmkizer |

Perhaps we should explain? Chris B, don't we have a document about that? Yanti, since you aren't sleeping anyway, would you care to tackle that one?  I was just reading all this jack daniels running thing. And here I had hoped it was "Complete a run, do a shot of burbon." But I guess I am wrong on that. Beer Mile Milk Mile Bourbon Mile Why not?
