Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Closed (Page 26)

Hope you are not a Brian Burke fan...what the hell is going on there? I guess the coach is next!

Speaking of Napa, have you had anyone approach you about  wanting to see your training logs as you train for Napa?   Had a random ask to be a friend, (said he saw a pic I recently posted). He wanted to see my training since he is doing Napa OLY too.  I ignored the request....strange, I technically don't know my friends on the site but there are some friends on the site that I have not known for two years..ha ha! 

Oh I have a new pic up on my profile that my grandson took of me over Thanksgiving.

Agreed, I breath right thought, meaning to the right not as in more correct.  I always wonder if I don't get the bilateral because I don't give it enough time to take.  But I am with you Kevin, I am just comfortable on the right side.

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

The meetings don't sound fun but the receptions sound great!!!!!

Once a Leaf fan, always. We do have a good Canadian owner down here in Dallas. The Tweet uproar with the Cowboys was funny.

Swim and bike done today during my taper week. Hopefully a short run later today for the trifecta. Still getting the hang of aero position. It is giving my upper body a little more of a workout than I thought it would.

11/30.

No beer. A little red wine last night.

While we would both love to go Napa, we just get back from florida on the Tuesday...i am out of holidays and money!

The pic on your profile is a glass of beer....you look great! haha

Great job on sticking with it. you might consider getting a snorkel too. They make one that is USAT legal. I saw a guy in IMLP using it last year.   It will help you keep your face down and allow you to get more swimming in. 

agree. plus concentrate on exhale. that helped me relax as I did't worry about breathing but had to just get the air out. snorkle or fins will help (zoomers).  I thought about you on my swim today and hoped things were getting better for you!

OOooohhhhh that explains EVERYTHING!  Whew!

Good stuff all.  Burd, hand in there, it's coming

DH, are you training for a particular marathon?

Screwed my ankle all to HE77 this morning.  was running on the side of the road, and hit this ginourmous boulder, (a pebble really) and I rolled over my left ankle.  This happens about every 3-4 weeks with me as I'm often running in the dark, and sometimes do not pat close enough attention to detail as I get distracted by the oncoming trafic.  Cut my 4.6 miler to a 2 miler.  I only ran 1 mile up to that point, and limped it home the rest of the way.  I'm still counting it towards my 30 .  I'm 9/30.

Hockey game tonight at 10:30.  Hope I can get away with sleeping all day at work tomorrow! 

Still hitting my beer intake goal for the month (year?) as I'm limiting to 1 growler/mo, and 2 22oz's on weekends.  Having a growler of IPA this week.  FABULOUS.

Hello everyone

I started tonight!!! I found a race at the end of June I want to do. So last night I upgraded to a silver membership. Then I uploaded the couch to sprint program (12 weeks) then found the beginner sprint 12 week program HR zone to add on to the next 12 weeks and it ends on my race day. So tonight is started on the bike went 25 min on a comfortable cadence of 80. It went well but surprised how out of shape I am. I am going to try to switch to a morning person in the next 2 weeks, I am a night owl. I lost another 2 lbs and have lost a total of 13 lbs so far. I have 32 lbs to go by July 3rd! I will try to be more regular on the forum, life has gotten less crazy for a little while. Good job everybody on your workouts, I had to get updated on all the pages that have been written since I was on here last.

Ian

Glad to have you back Ian and kudos on making the commitment to doing a Sprint in June.  With all that working out your are going to do - those 32 pounds should come off pretty easily!  Nice work on the 13 pounds lost so far!  

Right now, a bunch of us are working on a 30 workouts in 31 day challenge.  Give some thought to joining us at a prorated number.  Why don't you shoot for 20 workouts in 21 days?  We'd love to have you!

Major bummer on the sore ankle... I do a lot of running in the dark and am constantly tweaking my ankles.  Hope some ice and ibuprofen will help!  How'd the hockey game go?

Nice work on the beer intake goal!  Which IPA did you have?  

Hey Cynthia - not sure which pic on your page I find sexier - the one of you or the one of the alluring glass of beer

Not to get to personal... but I'm getting a colonoscopy on Friday.  With a family history - my doc is just being safe.

Wondering which part of it will suck more: a) spending tonight in the bathroom (talk about a trip to Sufferlandia), b) clear liquid diet for the next 36 hours, c) no working out, d) no beer...

Seriously - I'm a little nervous about the cleanse part - if you've been there and have any suggestions (I'm taking go lightly - let the jokes begin) - please PM me.

PS - Last night enjoyed Three Cranes by Mystic Brewery - a saison brewed with cranberries... No too shabby!

Well I got up at 5 am ( a feat in itself) went to the pool and swam 400 yds (only a 100 free) boy I am out of shape. Then came home and did a 4 mph pace on the treadmill for 10 minutes. The plan has me working on getting my endurance up. Which I thought at first this will be easy. I am amazed how tired I am. I will try to do the 20 in 21.
