Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Closed (Page 25)

Now you're just being cruel!

Weeeeee, legs weren't quite up for running but I did hit the bike tonight for a while (until the baby started to cry).  I was SO FAST (for me).  I couldn't believe it.  It's like I've been doing this training and it's starting to work.  Who would have thunk?  I may even trying biking tomorrow if I can get the kids down at a reasonable time.  

MyFitnessPal people - who are you on there?  I got myself on and am loving it.  Just recording those calories is going a long way to helping me drop a few pounds.  I only know one person on there though so it's a bit lonely.  

I second that!  Much nicer than the wall I stare at while I run.  

Heck ya, good stuff.  

Has your wife picked a Tri yet?  Personally, I'd pick Napa but it would be great if she did the one in Olds!

Once you go Left, you'll never want to go back.  At least that's what I've experienced.  I started out with that Bi-lateral nonesense, listening to all the importance of needed to be diverse, but when it came down to it, I'm comfortable breathing on my left every 4th stroke.

I've spent weeks breathing on the 3rd stroke, alternating, and I found for me, breathing on the left was just way more comfortable.

slow as in 1:40/100?

I'd say sorry for the 50 posts, but I'm not.  Jeesh people, I go to work and come back and you all have 3 full pages of threads posted.  way to go on the workouts.

Bold prediction here.  The blackhawks will win 2x as many games as the leafs will lose this season.   I'll probably end up regretting I said that.  Bob, how are you a leafs fan in Dallas?  Thor, How do you not root fro the Oilers, Flames, or the hated Canucks?  I always wondered that?  Thank God for the end of the NHL lockout.

Yes the Redskins loss was tough, but tougher still is the realization that our QB is wreckless, and a great tallent all in 1.

Got in a 8.2 miler today.  4.6 mile recovery run tomorrow.  Running on ice is no fun, but it beats the dreadmill.

Happy training all.  I get my 10th w/o out of 31 tomorrow.  Hockey game tomorrow night.

mcmanusclan5 - 2013-01-09 12:01 AM Hey all,Sorry I've been out of pocket this week. Out in SF at the JP Morgan healthcare conference (3 days, 33 meetings... Ugh). Goals for the week: Get at least some sleep.Don't eat total crap at all the receptions (5 of them tonight)Don't drink too much, too early in the conference (tomorrow night is a different story)And run at least twice while out here.Managed mostly on all. Have run twice already, will go again tomorrow at lunch (went early last two days). Turns out, San Francisco is hilly... Makes for a good hill run in place of my track workout this morning. Gonna feel that one!OK - putting iPad down and getting back to work. Will log back on as able but might be out of touch (I know how much y'all will miss me... lol). Matt

Matt - Make it your mission while you are out there to try Jamba Juice - it's the best smoothie place ON THE PLANET.  There are a few back here in MA but none really close to us.  Razmataz was my all time favorite.  

Once you have eaten healthy then be sure to undo it by trying garlic fries... So good.  Enjoy!

Congrats on the training and for the speed you are finding on the bike.  Won't be too much longer until you are finding that same speed in your running!

In case you didn't believe google.  This is the view I see on my runs: 

30/31 challenge update:

Midmonth check in for everyone, Tuesday Jan. 15. Post how many workouts you have under your belt!

Penalty for not completing your 30 workouts--no beer for month except a warm coors lite with your weekend breakfast!

agreed...what is the penalty for rubbing salt in the wound like this....hmmmm...how about an all inclusive beer tasting party in Florida provided by Alex for all members who currently have to shovel snow off the porch before heading out on their runs!

Not sure if this will work... but this is a post about my breakfast this morning that I put up in the "Nutritional Cafe" section.

The day I finally bother to learn to make Hollandaise sauce is the day I give up on weight loss.  That stuff might as well be cocaine for me.  I have asked my wife this question before:  "If I were to lick this plate, how impolite would it be?  Disapproving glares impolite, or getting thrown out of this restaurant impolite?"

5/30 not counting today since I haven't done it yet.

Love your Mark Twain quote. ... fear is the only thing that holds me back!

haha... sort of agree with you here Charles.... but I made around a half batch...not even.... so I don't feel Toooo bad....

..... but I did lick the plate....

oh man....that would suck...better step it up here..

8/30 so far!

Great way to make indoor biking(that sounds funny when I say it in my head) bearable.

Kind of in line with David's football workout, today I pumped it up when the commercials came on...higher resistance, higher intensity...... it makes me hate the commercials even more!!!

The only saving grace was all the grainy KHL (pro Russian Hockey League) highlights..and the fact that we wont have to watch them anymore!

Except when it comes to warm coors...no beer is better than that!
