 Subject: RE: Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training)sage - 2009-04-10 2:06 PM This weekend: 10K run, Burnaby Lake Revenge... Last time I ran this trail, it defeated me. Today, I fight back and win. 40K bike ride. Nice! Show that trail what's up! I am hoping to do that this year with the first-ever triathlon I did back in August of 2007. I finished the race then, but it was painful. I need to go back and show that btitch who's boss |

Wow! That sounds like fantastic news. Today, I am taking off. It's my birthday, and I have a hot date. My husband is taking me to a movie. Is there anything good out? Tomorrow I am riding with some friends and doing a short run afterwards. I'm not sure about Sunday. Since it's Easter and the Y is closed. Congrats on the news and happy birthday! My wife and I saw "I Love You, Man" a few weeks ago and it was pretty good. If you have seen Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad- it is along the same lines. This weekend I am going to do my first ever running "race", a 5k. I am pretty excited to get out there as I feel like I have gotten much better at running the last few couple of months and haven't really pushed myself too hard yet. I think a 5k will be a good opportunity to do so. |

(or rather i worked good friday, i've just got home) its reasonably active work and because i'm the only guy there out of 40 odd staff i get asked to do all the lifting/reaching for things I'll hit the gym tomorrow in between thesis writing though. Maybe go for a 10mile or 20 k bike. |

Eek, sorry to hear you have to work over the holiday I do Electronic and Computer engineering, my thesis is on the use of FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) which simply put, basically are chips that you can program to act like other chips by programming it on a computer and uploading it to the chip. Gym or bike ride is a good break for me. If i go for a bike ride it will be along the river and the park, but it was raining all day today so more likely to be a gym |

What you need to do is find a really beautiful bike ride that is really refreshing and go out there on a bike ride with a hot guy and just chill :P theres a place near where i'm at uni, a nature reserve that you can just lie around and chill and its all good :P but you have to walk/cycle to get to it which is all good. :P |

Member 159 | Subject: RE: Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training) Hey all! Happy Birthday! & Congrats on the go ahead after surgery!! I got to the pool twice today, once just fooling around with my boys, and wearing myself out carrying my huge 1 year old!!! Then I went back to really work; I tried a few exercies to work on freestyle, mostly to try to get the feel for the kicking and the breathing; then I finished 600m breaststroke. Chrissy, what did you get your master's in? I love the area of Virginia where you live - so pretty!! |

Regular 59 Oklahoma City | Subject: RE: Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training) Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Chrissy, I totally understand about being slow on the bike. My husband is super fast, and drops me like it's nothing. Which is extremely frustrating. Now, I'm trying to find other friends that are slow but need the encouragement to workout to ride with. I feel like a super hero when they think I'm really fast.  |

New user 13 Universal City, Texas | Subject: RE: Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training) Just got back from my workout....45 minute bike ride - 14 miles. I did some pullups afterward, but plan to do more strength traning tomorrow morning. Now its time to continue renovating my sun room at my house. No rest for the weary. Hope everyone is having a good night. -Adam |

| Subject: RE: Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training) SteveyD - 2009-04-10 4:55 PM I am wearing one of my triathlon club's tech tees - the team is called Team Z (which it says on the front)- the back says "you never know unless you tri" - that's their little slogan. It's a really great club - I joined back in December and I love it so far. I needed some more structured coaching, etc to push my abilities a bit more. Training on my own was only getting me so far. Now that the weather is better, and it's light out longer, I hope to make more of the group bike rides (been going to track and group runs, and swims, and during the winter, our indoor trainer rides). wurkit_gurl - 2009-04-10 9:50 PM SteveyD - 2009-04-10 4:49 PM wurkit_gurl - 2009-04-10 9:03 PM SteveyD - 2009-04-10 3:57 PM Wurkit, i see you want to learn how to love cycling.

Chrissy, what did you get your master's in? I love the area of Virginia where you live - so pretty!! Nice work with the drills - sometimes getting the breathing down makes a big difference. I got my Masters in Literature. My undergrad degree is in Musical Theatre - I used to act/sing/dance. So Literature was the easiest thing to convince a grad program to let me do with my weirdo background |

Veteran 223 Near Lake Tahoe, NV | Subject: RE: Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training) My swim workout today was pretty rough. I decided that I needed to HTFU and start putting in some real work in if I was going to get better. So I ended up swimming for about an hour with only a few short breaks. It really helped me realize that sometimes I am holding myself back by not pushing. It was a good confidence boost, but I am pretty tired. I am going to try and get a quick bike in tonight too. |

Wow James, just saw the before and after pics in your mini profile view - what a long way you've come! Congrats! Yes, HingTFU is good some times - glad you end up having a productive, if tiring, swim. Sometimes those are the best workouts, in hindsight. |

New user 13 Universal City, Texas | Subject: RE: Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training) Howdy everyone. I went to the gym this morning expecting to swim, but there was a class in the pool  . So I went on a 30 minute run around my neighborhood. LOTS OF HILLS! Anyhow...I will try the pool again tomorrow. Everyone have a good weekend and keep up the good work. -Adam |

Veteran 223 Near Lake Tahoe, NV | Subject: RE: Wurkit_Gurl's Group - CLOSED (sssh...we're training) I had a good time today at the 5k. I was pleased with how I did and met my goal of sub 10 minute miles, even though the course had a pretty decent hill in it. I filled out a quick race report. I then went and took advantage of the nice weather and played tennis. I love that the weather is starting to act like it is supposed to this time of year. How is everyone else's day going? |

Everyone have a good weekend and keep up the good work. -Adam That happened to me a lot my first year training at my pool. It took a while for me to get used to the schedules of classes and swim team practices that used up all or most of the lanes. I will still often call the pool if I am going to go at a different time than usual because I hate going there with the mindset of swimming and getting turned away. Good job using your time wisely though with the run. |
