Nibbs XXII (Page 27)

probably not - my parents have unbelievably slow internet access up there

Have a great afternoon Kendra!!!

I might try to head out... if I EVER get this #@$)(*%%& poster maker to work...

LOL, I had no idea that #@$)(*%% was a link... hmmm....

oh and it goes to my outlook.... weird.... did any of you know that?

We'd better slow down... w/out TinkerBeth to grant us our new thread we might end up well into the hundreds before Beth gets back.

It's the '@' symbol...you know, like: [email protected] hee, hee...

Yeah, but any of us are allowed to start a new thread, right?

Depends on the lake. A few of the smaller, shallower lakes get up to 78 degrees...Lake Superior on the other hand, is almost a constant 48 degrees year round...

Yes, but will you read all the previous posts just to catch up on your re-entry into the real world?

I know I didn't but just wondering how committed you are to this thing called Nibbs?

Alright Nibbs I need some power sent my way to change my wife's mind!

I want to do the Philadelphia Marathon and she is against it because I won't finish up the kitchen project.  Give me the power to complete the kitchen (soon because training plan would start 2 weeks from now) so that she sees that I am not crazy and can do the plan - along with all my biking that I do.

Or do I just bag the marathon and wait until next year and give her some time to get over all the training I have done this year so far (and will continue also!).  I have a 50K and a 50 miler that I want to do along with my Xterra and adventure race.

Women's point of view appreciated even though you guys are triathlete's so your view may be scewed to my side a little!

Bill,

That sounds like a full plate of training in itself.  It may be wise to 1.  keep the peace 2.  not overstress the body with that training load for the Philly marathon this year.  I know it's a disappointment if you don't do it, but the marathon isn't going to be stopped in the next year.  Major cities love the tourists that show up for doing marathons, they aren't dropping any time soon.

Isn't there a late winter/early spring marathon you can enter instead?

I think after spending most of last summer getting ready for CIM, and doing those ungodly long runs in the heat, that a late winter marathon makes so much more sense. You can't really ride outside without lights during the winter in the Northern Hemisphere, but you can run easily whether the sun is up or not, or whether there's snow on the ground, or not - and its easier to run long in cold weather. 

Have a great afternoon Kendra!!!
