SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed (Page 296)

Here's how much I know about hockey... I didn't realize the "linesman" was a ref until I watched the video... nasty circumstances there for him to be in the middle.

good luck fools.  goal is to set some goals for 2012. 

is that little girls hockey?  i saw a lot of yapping but not much fist throwing.  HA!  actually i like when your bro jumps on the wall, thought that was awesome .

I'm with George here... gotta get into a training rhythm - been very sporadic lately.
Until 2012 -- stay healthy and injury free.  I've been flirting with running disaster during training runs and races here lately (long story)...  Time to call a "Knock it Off" on the runs and spend more time on the bike.

No racing this week for me.  Good luck to all those who are!!

she was day dreaming of me.

I'm a little like you, I'm a mid footer with a little bit of heel wear on the right side (short side--no wise cracks Fatty).

I'm stumped why your shoes would wear out faster...different running surface perhaps?

lets vote. how hot is Kris.  kim, you go first. 

AWESOME job george and kris!   full news letter here peeps.  (give it a few seconds to load) 

10-4

OH!! Almost forgot... Did my bike LT today... it was brutal but now I have a baseline LT HR to train from.  I messed up during the warm up and didn't get my HR up full speed first, so the first couple minutes were HR spiking quick and then settling out.  I took those out before the settle and recalculated the AHR for my new LT (161).   My HR data from the settle was very steady between 158-165, with a few very short higher sections.

Maintained a 90+ cadence for the entire test.  My legs were on fire just after passing the halfway point, dropped a gear and kept the pace while maintaining that HR.  Once the legs cooled down a little(~ a min), I shifted back up and pressed.  Had to do that one more time towards the end as well.

This test was rough, a good workout but rough... have a feeling the legs will be sore tomorrow.

Leave it to Beaver to come up with this one.

I'll get on her in the morning. 

Pretty hot...but I might be a little biased!

Thanks fatty!

I know you guys think I live by the motto, ignorance is bliss, but what the heck are you talking about, Suzy and John???

Kris is beautiful as is the entire Dale family!  Loverly photo of the awesome clan!

DJ-you may have mentioned it but I cannot find it, but is it a different model of shoe? (the ones from last year that show no wear vs. the new ones?)...different models can break down differently.  My currrent ones last only about 170-200 miles...whereas my older model was somewhere in the 250-300 range. 

And mine don't really look worn, I can just feel the ground more as they hit that older point.  I think it has more to do with the midfoot eva cushioning than the outer rubber...as the cushioning is what seems to eventually loose it's form with miles of impact...and that's kind of what I go by...if i run more on the hard packed multiuse vs. asphalt, I get more miles out of them.

I was busy gettin' my worm, baby!!! No excuses!! Has everyone seen this video? (Kids love the drawings.) I love the concept!!

Agreed that Kris is hot. A gorgeous family, all around!!

And in honor of his mission to work out on a regular basis, I see that George is sportin' a fancy new avatar. Nice one, King Slacker!!

could you email me some pics when you two are done?

You would think That she wears a nice outfit like that, the guy with her would at least have a few buttons undone or something.

Congrats you guys. very special.

Here's my day:

take big one to school at 8:30, come home and paint. Lunch. Take little one to school at 12:30. Go to dealership and get car from service. $$. Home depot for the 300th time this month. Come home paint. Pay drywall guy big $$ for mud/tape/sanding. Paint.

going to shower, go to bed. Repeat tomorrow.

Real,real good times..............

It's been raining here ALL FREEKIN' DAY, so I'm working on a new attitude for Saturday's 10.5 mi. trail run.  If all else fails, I'm a triathlete, I can swim through the flooded areas .  This is going to be a hellofagoodtime!!  Hubby's running the second leg and BT friend DirkP is finishing it up for us.  Hopefully, I will be clean, dry, and warm before hubby's even finished.

For those of you looking for a longer distance to try, you should put this race on your radar for next year.  It's called "The Huff" and it's a 50k trail run.  Or, you can do a 3-person relay (for newbies like me).  It's withing a day's drive of half of the country's population. 

George, that's a really awesome!!  I'm glad John shared that article.

Took me and hour and a half to turn an expensive custom burl pen. First the blank cracked during drilling, second try the bottom half blew apart, then the top half cracked. Third try top had to be  skewed down to get rid of the finish that was not going well and then reapply the finish. Finally done.

Of course the guy still wants it engraved!

This level of pen is not a money-making one! even at $75-100. Heck the mechanism, wood, finish, polish and engraving cost $45-50. The guy bought the mechanism himself, but still that was too much time for me for one pen. At least I already got my work out in today.

Off to bed.

So you don't work anymore? sweet!  Welcome to the club.

That is a sharp looking family there George!!  Thanks to you both for all you do!!

kim. when you live in a million square foot house with your dog you absolutely do not make your own reservations for accommodations when you travel.   "the help" has to do it for her.... duh! 

DougRob - 2011-12-15 7:44 AM George: Congrats on the well deserved recognition for all your family does for the CCA. BTW, Why is Jeremy the only boy with a normal haircut? We looks the sharpest to me.

Great minds think alike.  I was wondering the same thing?

And it's just shy of a million square feet.  Not sure where Cooper has been these days...probably in the lower level cabana with the pool boy.

You have a beautiful family, George!

For anyone still thinking about racing Portland, REV3 added an Olympic distance race. They have early bird pricing this week.
