CASUAL run challenge--july (Page 30)

That's awesome.  Plus that way you can sign up for a biking goal in the Aug challenge as well.  What fun.

I got another 3.07 miles in tonight.  They where sub 8 min/mile but I was hurting really bad from the walleyball adventure (bruised left side from falling).  Plus I had more beer then I normally drink so tomorrow I will be very dry.  I guess I will have to take it easy.

That's cool, good luck in the raffle.

I got my first road bike a few months ago and I got a Scott S30 Speedster and I love it!

dcrunningdiva - 2008-07-25 4:46 AM I'm excited about tomorrow. I told you guys, right? Team Luna Chix is sponsoring a preview bike/run at my sprint tri course set for Aug 24th? I'm really excited about my first REAL group ride, too. I love meeting people so this will be fun! I don't know a soul that is going to be there but it looks like about 20-30 people are going to attend. Anyway, super exicted...just wanted to tell someone.

Group ride sounds fun. I have never done it before either, but after being glued to the Tour for the last few weeks I would love to give it a go.

Have fun

Yesterday was finally the day of our postponed 5th Annual Toga Run with the group of folks at work I run with.

Each year we pick a day in the summer and we all dress up in togas and run from our workplace down the main street through the city and generally make fools of ourselves. We run to a randomly selected local eatery and then all eat Caesar salads and then run back to work.

This year we ran about a mile or so down the main street, which can be a real challenge if you have a poorly tied toga (yes, we do have a regular frequency of wardrobe malfunctions!) and arrived at McDonalds (Yuck!). We ate chicken caesar salads and then ran back.

It was hotter than heck out there (95F+) and fairly humid so it made it a real challenge to run back on a full stomach in the heat. We got plenty of car horns honked at us (and a few unmentionable comments!) and even had people taking pics on camera phones when they stopped at the traffic light. We seemed to get more honks on the way back (so we must look better from the front than the back!

Here are a few pics so u can see for yourselves

 In the pci below I am in the middle with my friends Frankie (an Ironman veteran) on left and Michael (will be doing first Tri in Sept) on left. I am in the middle.

I am second from he right in the pic below

And below is a pic of me in my Toga.

I am so glad I have lost about 50lbs in the last 6-7 months.....it is much easier to look at these pics now rather than the ones from previous years...LOL!

Thanks......you would love it.

 More importantly.......

DID YOUR BIKE ARRIVE YET??????

.....need pics.....

Oh you can't beat that new bike scent......LOL!

Nice bike Lyssa.

Especially like the bling bling flashes in the photo....LOL

Go and have some fun!

Wow Lyssa!  What a stoater of a bike hen!!!!! Magic!! That's a pure cracker! Now get your arse on it and bike! LOL.

I am heading down to Steele Lake in Federal Way for a free swim clinic class.....  Then I might run the tri course down there - I'm doing the triathlon in September - then I might hit H&M which opened here yesterday.WOOT! Bet I'll smell lovely for that. LOL

OH! Saw Mamma Mia last night with all my tri chicka's!! What a good laugh that was! It was hysterical!  

Hey folks, I have been slacking on my running this month....just as well this was a casual deal eh?.......and the last week or two has been tough trying to get my planned training in at all, but I did not too bad overall and my biking improved a fair bit thsi month.

Anyway, I'm off on vacation with the family tomorrow. Woo Hoo!. We are going to the Sacramento/Folsom CA area for nine days. My dw has 3 days work over there so we decided to make it a family vacation and go out there and spend a bit of time there since I have never been.

 I will be offline for the whole time with no access to a computer. So I will be absent from BT for a bit. But don't worry I will still be training and will catch up when I get back.

Hope you all finish the month of well and I'll check in when I get back.
