Team GALILEO: Stick to the Plan (Page 3)

Hi Beth

K!

Wally! nice to *see* you!

i believe it!  i didn't until the past few months when i started running outside to prepare for my january 1/2 mary

i think my body heat's up like 20 degrees when i run

i haven't been on my bike since September

the bike made it through the move - but unfortunately my helmet, bike pump, and sunglasses ended up in storage

There's nothing like training in the frigid cold all winter to make 40's seem summerish!

Nice run Heidi!!  And perfect running weather!!

Hey-my tentative last tri in 2009 is substituting a 3 mile kayak (or canoe) for the swim.   I am excited.

I agree....except if I am borderline sick-then I bundle up.

Okay all,

My full introduction will be coming today.   I am taking the day off school to get some stuff done and a nice long post here will be one of my rewards.    I'll be back in a few hours.

I had a GREAT run today at lunch!

it was my fastest 3 miles ever

Okay Okay, I'll run tomorrow. But it will be in the 50s and you would be in a bikini. Actually, I can do most any temp it is wind that I hate. I have tried but any wind.... I just whimper like a baby.

Yay you! Doesn't that just make you feel lighter than air ?

it's amazing!

how are you Robin?

I am feeling really streched out. Long day at work, having to deal with step kid while hubbie is in Texas, trying not to whine to hubbie. etc, etc, etc, YOU know better than I. A nice glass of Pinot Noir is helping ease the stretch.. 

How about speed- demon you? 

THAT sounded a little pitiful! Hey, I have tomorrow off and it looks like a weekend of spring-like weather. I am gonna  do my best to spend as much time outside as possoble and have a good weekend!  Talk at you tomorrow teamies.

That sounds like a great plan! Enjoy the weather!

LOL!

speed demon - not so sure about that 

been battling internet connection issues tonight :/

Okay, I am taking a break and putting up '15 things about me'

1. My name is Melissa

2. I am 27

3. I have Manic Depressive Disorder (bipolar), ADHD and OCD.  There are many suprising benefits from this...most of the time.  I am energetic, creative, productive, and very eager about most things.

4. I am really determined and a bit hardheaded which means that I can do just about anything I decide I need to do. 

5. I like working with my hands, using lots of elbow grease and getting dirty.

6. I am working on a Environmental Horticulture degree.  It provides opportunities to do aforementioned activities

7. I started swimming when I was two years old.  I have life-guarded, coached swim teams and taught swim lessons.  I know 'how' to swim, but that doesn't make me very fast.  All my swimsuits are 10+ years old.  I wear them in multiples because they are so thin.

8. I have a lame restrictive diet...the two biggest factors is that I am gluten and dairy intolerant

9. I eat 2 eggs and a baked potato almost every morning for breakfast-this is supplemented with other foods too.  

10. I am a triathlete and loving it!  2009 will be my second season.

11. I spend a lot of time at my parents place-my little sister and dad are both very disabled and my mom needs all the help she can get.  This doesn't make me an angel...I get paid by the state and have health benefits.

12. I received my bike as a gift when I was 13 (I think).  It is a beat up mountain bike that I have managed to make functional again.  Unfortunately my mom's bike isn't(I cannibalized it).

13. I like lists.

14. I am very talkative.  In the morning (when my medications kick in) it is hard to shut me up.  Despite this, I am generally a good listener.

15. I am spontaneous.
