Kelly, are you in Manhattan or another Borough??

I'm in Manhattan. 

I saw that you're doing the NYC Tri....I'm signed up as well!!

If you ever need a training partner on the weekend, let me know i am only 45 mins from Manhattan and love to meet Bt'ers. Maybe we can get LazyMarathoner also (Kristin is another Manhattanite that just moved to Brooklyn) and make a group day, there are a bunch of BT'ers in the city!

Yay!!!!  Another Little Miss!  Maybe it will be an avatar revolution.

oooh, and another.  

Since everyone else changed theirs, I had to change mine too! Yeah for Determination! 

I think Slugger should be Little Miss Wise.   Or Little Miss Contrary!

I just ordered new wrist band things from road id.  Got pink and black (you know, a girly color and a neutral one).  Soooo, if anyone is ordering anything from them any time soon, here is the coupon code for an entire dollar off your order.

ThanksErica453941

Ooh, Nice!

I visited Seattle Fabrics yesterday - it is a great resource for outdoor and sport related materials, also for things like toggles and clips...if you backpack breaks they are sure to have the replacement parts. 

Anyway, I purchased stuff to re-waterproof my backpack and jackets, black webbing with reflective strips woven in-I am going to make collars and leashes for my dog.  I was also able to get all the tidbits to make the leashes and collars.  I have been a bit nervous about running at night.  Many of the streets are unlit.  I also purchased some reflective tape/ribbon and will see about adding it to some of my workout gear.

Totally how I felt last night before I met the group for our run!  It's just 4 little miles....it'll be over before you know it.  And think of how great you're going to feel afterwards!

Just think--once you get through the 4 miles you can take that nap guilt-free if you want! You'll have worked off wine calories and done your workout today and then you can do whatever you want. I need the same motivation to do my run tonight. I don't wanna do it, but I know I have to. I just keep telling myself the sooner I start the soonre it's done.....

Thanks for all the encouragement guys!  I did get all 4 miles done (with an additional .25 too).  I do feel better.  Took it easy since my hamstring and knee have been twinging since my long run on Sunday. 

Now, on to nap! Not really, I have to run to the grocery to pick up some stuff for dinner tonight.  I should vacuum the house too.  Nah, that can wait!

Hi Mel! I love how so many awesome people come by our team to chat!

They must be drawn by our great determination! 

Sorry, it never gets old.

The encouragement and your inspiration-by-example has convinced me I need to get in a pool tonight. If that doesn't work out, I'm going to run.

Do you need a reminder? 

Errrrm, what, who, me?

Well, if you find me posting like crazy tonight, you know I'm supposed to be somewhere else!

Oh, indeed! I love fresh warm chocolate chip, and I like them crispy rather than chewy. But I'll take any, anytime, thank you!

I baked some a couple of weeks ago, with Ghirardelli chocolate chips I'd gotten for Christmas. Oh, they were heavenly! Even though I don't have a real oven (I use a tabletop).
