A few miles west of Pensacola, pretty much right on the border of Bama and Florida. AKA, where Ivan left a mark. Hehehe... yep, when you're from the Gulf Coast everything is in reference to the landfall of the hurricane's eye... ie My hometown is where Andrew made his 'second coming" . Even the mid-atlantic tries to get into that biz...I used to live where Isabel's upper reach went...I vacation where Isabel touched down. I hate Isabel...but not as much as the folks in Gulf hate Andrew, Ivan, Katrina (and all the other ones I can't remember)... |

Champion 6107 Out running or enjoying a fine glass of red... | Subject: RE: Challenge Chat (aka Nibbs XVII) - come join us :) OK, so I already have Jen's opinion (I think it was along the lines of "you're weird"...) but I found a 12-hour running race near me in October. Is it wrong to be looking at it longingly? I did an 8-hour run in a past life...I sucked, but the idea is still exciting. 5 mile loop. (There's also a 24-hour version, but I'm thinking this is something I should work into. - oh, and there's the matter of talking Sugar Daddy into it...) |

As much s I love running, I think that one hits the level of insanity. Now once I get on my own schedule next week I can go out longer in the morning pre work (YAY!!! I hate wasting half an hour runs, I love distance) |

My IT bands inflame at the thought  On the flip side, if it included something I enjoyed and produced the "You're crazy" reaction from others, yeah, I'd consider it. |

Everybody smiles at Monty Python!! I love Julie's outlook on life. Everyday is a gift, believe it or not. It is up to you to enjoy it or skulk through it until 3..2...1.. times up and it's over. Trust me. I know about being slow and getting beat and laughed at. I choose not to hang out with that crowd. I race for myself. I want to improve and pout a bit when I don't, but them it's back to the drawing board. Somebody tech saavy needs to post the pick from GalaxyQuest. "Never give up, never surrender!" I have run more in the last 2 months than I have ever run at this point in a triathlon season, yet I have no PR's to show for all those miles of pain and agony. It is frustrating, but it will not ruin my life or make me a lesser human being because I am not a fast runner. Life will go on. This is the challenge on which I thrive. And everyone on Nibbs as fantastically supportive and encouraging. I don't think anyone on this thread has ever thrown out HTFU or Suck It Up Buttercup as advice when you are really down and venting. A brief look at Nibbs: Dee - a triathlete in the making trapped at werk Beth - not only a triathlete, but a professional, a supermom, and a very experienced air traveler! Kendra - don't know if she's done a tri, but she has cutted out a few half-mary's with acute plantar fascitis(?) and a librarian to be reckoned with! Sal - triathlete, runner, husband, father, businessman and of course, maker of cheesecake! Heather - not sure if she has done a tri yet but she is definitely getting to be a tire changing wizard and if you need to set up sports tournaments or get approval for stadium spin classes, she's your woman! Cat - triathlete, professional, courageous warrior against a chronic illness, but she will never give up! The big question is has she found her fishnets and made her pumpkin soup? Julie - a part-time Nibbs, but a full time inspiration, and one heck of a sports photographer. Just look at her blog. Kristen - a triathlete who loves to run and loves her wine and lovers her kids and her sugar daddy! Jen - an incredibly intelligent triathlete with apparently very intelligent cats who steal car keys Judi - triathlete who loves to run and is so dedicated to running she frequently gets her mileage in the parking lot at work. She also recently escaped a sucky job and keeps a very tidy house while working full time, raising two teenage kids, and training for tris. Scott - you fit in here as a triathlete (yes, it's true) who has recently battled through a vicious divorce, moved cross country, can play a mean guitar(with attractive photos playing said guitar) run a marathon, introduce your GF to the wonderful world of cycling, and give your kids a healthy perspective of competition instead of the "if you don't win, you lose" mentally that your ex seems to love so much. Well, those are my before bed thoughts. I hope I didn't miss anyone. You guys are the best. I can't count the times when I've gotten way too serious about competition and have really beat myself up that y'all have put it in to perspective. Have a great night!! i just want to break out into a rendition of "Always Look on the Brigh Side of Life"
Wow Pam! Awesome summary...that was just awesome... dang girl...that is amazing...can you do that once a week...and i can just read your blog and know what is going on in everyones lives! GREAT SUMMARY! and I do intend to be around a bit more! just got to find time! |

I'm 5'6" and weigh more than both of you do. NOT FAIR! I feel your pain Jen! I think I went from a 3 toddler to a size 12!! |

I do have two other brothers, one here that went to culinary school and cooks for us a couple times a week...I love it! and the other is in Texas and I never get to see him...but he is doing good! so that is my family in a nutshell! and you...how about a pic of you behind comeangetit!?! huh huh huh~??? |
