SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed (Page 292)

No racing for me this weekend; although I am itching to improve upon last week's performance.  I'm hoping to get one of those hi-tech new-fangled Garmin watches so I no longer have to guesstimate my run distances. 

A friend turned me on to these beers!!! They are unreal!

LMAO! Now this is funny. Does Jarrett know?

Another 10K for me. I hope to shake my JANGLE a little harder than last time.  I know I'm a pain wussy and have been told I can give more and that if I don't feel imminent death just before the end I'm not working hard enough.  Going at it totally blind, plan to push those last 3m much harder.  Would love to look at the data post race and see 46:00.

oh yeah, she's well aware.

You all are cracking me up.  Luckily we don't have any in-law problems.

no running this weekend for anyone.  Woo Hoo - just a few birthday parties and a wrestling meet.  But it should be a pretty low key weekend - thank goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And no tri gifts that I can think of - I've more than I need at the moment so I'm pretty content.  :-)

Good luck to the racers!

No racing for me. We're driving back to Portland tomorrow, after just making the 6 hour drive from there yesterday (really should have planned it better). This time it's for an interview for Gary... for a promotion that would mean we wouldn't have to be on constant travel and living in an RV. Hoping it works out, because it would be so nice to have a "home" again.

Does hoping Santa brings a little motivation count as a gift?

'Cause I'd like some.

Seriously, need to get done this basement and get some mojo going again!

The break has probably been good for me physically, but I need to get the "fire" burning again.

Who are you again? 

Oh, Canada!!!!!  Good luck finishing that basement!  And nice to see you.

Wow.

I am absolutely stunned that there has not been a single "strap-on" joke all day. What, is everyone posting with children present??

No, I'm not strapping on anything this weekend. Not racing either. Attending a few parties, so I may TIE one on, but I'm pretty much of a two-drinks-puts-me-on-my-arse loser, so take that for what you will.

Doubt I'll get any tri gifts this year. I dropped a hint (unintentionally) that my warmer running shirts are about 8-10 years old and showing their age, but they still work fine so it's all good.

And I love my in-laws. Well, only one parent-in-law anymore (sniff sniff), but she's pretty awesome!!

No racing.  Lots of partying.  Starting tonight with my Wednesday Women IM celebration!  I can't wait - it's ME wearing the medal and tiara this time!

I don't think i'm getting any tri stuff, but ya never know.  I did get hubby a IMAZ bike vest, so WTC will be represented under the tree!

Starting to plan for next year......looking at REV3 Portland (HIM), Expeditionman (HIM), Pacific Grove (Oly), and Boston(M!!!).  Jeff may do Wildflower, I'd sherpa as it's 12 days post-Boston.  Learned from THAT mistake.

Jeff's thinking...just a bit....about adding IMSG into next year.  He's in great shape now, it's not closed, and it would be a challenge.  Apparently AZ wasn't so much!!   He's traveling lots for work, so he's not sure if he can make it work.  I would SHERPA for that, too.  No way would I do SG.

Only because Trev has been totally off his game lately.

Good grief Canada, get it together!

Thx Suz. I actually had thought about "strapping on" but decided against it today at work. Was grumpy at work today, so I probably would have posted something stupid.

Nanny state! Sheesh.

No racing for me, however, I am really hoping Santa brings me a new speedo ...... considering emulating Faris and tri racing "Retro" next year!  

Also, I just signed my rider contract for Team Wisconsin for next year which means on top of everything else, I just committed to riding in my 1st 10 day stage race in 2012.  Should be interesting?

Good luck to all the racers this weekend ....REPRESENT!!!!   

Very cool news on Team Wisconsin.  Not so excited about seeing you do it in a Speedo. I hope you shave your stomach!

Ugh.  I must be tired.  The water in the pool felt more like jello today. 

When someone figures out how to survive without having a "job" please let me in on your secret.

No racing this weekend.  I'm hoping to play Santa and hook myself up with a used trainer. 

P.S. Is it wrong that I kinda like the unshaven Faris look?

Terped it on purpose

I'm going to take a stand and say YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I was doing my swim workout today and my coach happened to be at the pool giving a lesson to someone else. WHen He was done he watched me swim a little and then decided to film and time me doing 50 yds. Bearing in mind that my fastest 100 yd. pool swim is 1:33, I swam 50 yds. in 33seconds! Who hoo!!!!! (And I could have done better). All these yards are paying off in time.

P.S. The tri-suit company is Epix Gear.
