Beth and Yanti's Manatees Mentor Group--FULL! (Page 27)

BunnyB - 2008-06-01 12:38 PM Congrats on finishing your first half mary, Erin!

x2! 

CONGRATULATIONS, ERIN!!!

Not only did you pull off a stellar first half-mary, you kicked my AZZ in the May Manatee Challenge

But I haven't been idle ...

Your mentor is now part of a group holding a world record ... most Elvises running a marathon!!!

Here's the race report, which has links to the crazy pictures:

Hi Shawn!  good to *see* you!

You and I are in the same boat, apparently.  Well, I'm stepping it up also.  I'm not sure if there's a June Manatee challenge, but I have some training goals in the works - check mylog for details (I feel like a commercial). 

FWIW, I did pretty well on my May Manatee Challenge.  I only missed one night of going to bed on time.  That puts me at 90%, but for our rules, I'm in the 2/3 category.

I hope all is doing well.  I plan on catching up over the next few days. 

Erin - great job on the half! I'm still contemplating signing up for one next spring.

Nice job on the challenge Sunshine!

I made my may goals - just by the skin of my teeth - finished them up on the last day of May

whew! 

sure!  If everyone is game, why not

Great job, Sunshine!

It's been pretty quiet in here lately--I assume everyone's working to make the dough to tri, living life, and maybe even squeezing some training in.

As the thick of the racing season sets in, remember to pause and take a breath once in a while. Be good to yourself. So what if you slack once in a while on training? It's tough enough to miss the training; no need to add the injury of blaming yourself or anything else for it. It just is. Don't double up on following workouts; don't push harder. Just ease back into the groove.

I've accepted that I'm probably not going to be breaking the finish line ribbon on my events, so I'm just going to let go and have fun!!!

Greetings to everyone. Sorry I've been quiet lately, I've been getting my a$$ handed to me at work. I think I made it through the rough stretch and hope to get back to normal, whatever that is.

Positive Thought of the Day: May was my largest training month since last October, when I did the HIM. I'm still feeling good, so I'm thinking I'm finally healed up from the car accident. It's nice to look at my graphs and see some different colors and bars that are higher than zero.

I hope everyone is well!

A most excellent positive thought! 

I hope work gets better for you soon!

Congrats on the pretty colors and bars in your training log!

I can't think of a more appropriate place to share this -  (from my log today)

thanks for all of your encouragement and help! 

Super job on the six-miler, Bethie Love! You have come so far.

I'm going to bed BEFORE MIDNIGHT. I'm kinda nervous and scared ... such a new experience!

Beth - awesome on the 6 miler.  The 1st time I ran 6 mi I was super stoked! So I know what you feel.

And Yanti - good job on going to bed early.  I'm assuming from the context clues that this is not something you do regularly?

that would be an accurate assumption  

I am headed home tomorrow morning - so I wont' be around much for the next few days  -

have a great weekend everyone

Helloooooooo quiet group!

I am only going to be online until 12 noon PST today.....so if you have something to say, you'd better say it soon!   At noon I head over to pick up Lynne and head to central Washington for our first Olympic tri!  I wrote a book in my logs yesterday, just about, regarding my stress and my terrible day and blah blah blah....luckily I am feeling more positive today and really looking forward to the race.  The forecast is overcast and in the 50s during the race....no rain though, as it's in the desert part of the state.  I would rather it be cool than in the 100s, which it generally is at this time of year!  Here in the Seattle area it is once again in the 40s and DUMPING rain.  Southern CA seems more and more like where I want to live!  Or Austin.  But I digress.  I need to go finish packing my stuff and make sure my kids aren't destroying the house.....I am a bit distracted.

I hope everyone has a great, fabulous weekend, no matter what you are up to!!!

Good luck to all of you racing this weekend and have a fun time!!!

I am chilling with hubby after watching a great round of tennis in the French open, Nadal is fabulous!

This weekend will be fishing on Saturday with blues and dancing that night, running with my buddies (we are starting our training for the Houston 1/2) then off to an OWS session with a fellow BTer on Sunday.  Busy but fun times.  I am happy to be getting back into some training and looking forward to the runs with my girls since I don't see them as much anymore.  I missed the 1/2 marathon in January due to an achilles injury so I am looking forward to doing this training slow and easy this time so I can make it to the line this time and they don't have to run without me!!

Take care everyone!

Agh! One minute past! Good luck, Leslie!!!!!!
