Mimir98's group-CLOSED AGAIN...FOR REAL THIS TIME (Page 31)

Believe me, Mimi- if the house were just a little bigger- I'd ask you to send references!!! Of course, when we took off training together, and left my husband with FOUR kids instead of TWO.....

How's this for balance this month

 Wasn't trying to do this or have it as a goal, just looked at my logs and it struck me kind of funny.   Although my run and bike goal are similar at the end of the month

Scott- how crazy is THAT! You are only off by a couple of seconds.......

 Since we have been talking food issues of late around here, I wanted to share this link. Lots of stuff we already know, and no real shockers here, but certainly frames it all nicely when we need a gentle reminder!

 Also, I served cantalope with dinner last night, Mimi! Thanks for the great idea!

Um, yeah, sometimes it's easier to pass the blame...I just always remember that I am into tris to enhance my life and if I feel like it's not doing that, I back off a bit.  It's supposed to be fun.  At our age and our level, we aren't doing this to make money, go to the olympics, etc.

EDIT:  totally wanted to clarify this so it is not misconstrued!  by that, I meant for HIM...it was easier for him to not take responsibility and tell you it was b/c you weren't suzy homemaker!!  

Well done Amy and Kelly, I put's the pressure on us all, when you girls hits 1st and 2nd places. I don't think I ever get near the podium. But I'm having fun trying. 

I'm just f...... busy at work for the moment. Working all the time, from early morning till late nigth. I'm glad this is my rest week.

On top off the workload, I'm pretty stressed with my new bike. The front wheel and aerobar has not arrived yet. It has gone missing in the mail system. And without the aerobar I can't even try it out with my old wheels. But mid next week it should hit the road. Watch out for pictures in my album.

Happy training

Hans

Hey all,

My server is down at work and child #1 had major issues at school today  (not her fault!).  I'll play more, later.

Mimi and Suzanne -

 I am adjusting my Around the World- still 5 days a week- but I'm doing Saturday and Sunday and taking off two week days. I just have too much going on to fit it in every week day. But I'm still in.

Okay, it is 4-17, taxes should be done, other distractions, well they will probably always be there.

What do people have on tap for this weekend (and I don't mean Sam Adams or Fat Tire)

I still have a 10 mile run left, an hour trainer ride, a 2.5 hour ride/30minute run combo. 

Now just to puzzle it into the schedule that has me with an unknown period of OT at work at an unknown time - basically when my part is ready for review - to go along with helping out while we watch a friends little girl for the weekend. 

Aww, too bad. 

I WAS going to try to get to the club swim on Sun. morning - however, it's been cancelled and we're making a Passover Seder that evening. 

So: it's looking like run tomorrow AM, hopefully swim in the PM.  Sat. would be bike and swim (if the pool is open -- may not be due to the aforementioned Passover).  Sun. will have to be run and massive cleaning.

I'll tell ya'all about the fireworks at child #1's school later -- probably in my blog.

I have not been focused enough to go for an hour on the trainer, so I did 40 minutes, but it had some semi quality.  Warmed up 5 minutes, then 5 min zone 1, 5 min zone 3-4. 

I still plan on hitting the others. 

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with piles of laundry on my couch and coffee table.  Seriously, I don't know why I bought a loveseat because we never see it..ok maybe once every other week for about an hour when the next load comes out of the dryer.

My sister is baby-sitting one more time before she leaves for her new job for me this weekend so I'm looking forward to everything being folded when I get home.  After that I have a number of a lady to call who I am hoping can do some light housework but mainly fold laundry AND put it away.  How freaking lazy is that.  If I have piles I'm the only one that puts mine up...that goes for the DH too.  I have to make the kids do it but then I'd have to be in the house at the same time as them not doing more important things like homework.  We're doing good to sitdown at the table and eat together before we scatter like the wind to baseball, training etc...

Blah...Blah..Blah...  I'm not alone, your not alone.  Let's party.

Variety is always good!!  I miss my mountain bike.  I sold it when we moved down here, but wish I had it...we apparently have some really good tracks around...obviously no downhills, but lots of technical stuff.  Oh well, when on earth would I do that anyway??? 

Kind of a standard week, with "normal" training times being rearranged as my wife is going on a women's retreat Thurs night - Sat night.

Since several have asked, my wife's time at Boston was 3:43:21   Tough course, so she'll be happy with that.  I wish I could remember her full mari PR.....

 I haven't talked to her yet. She flies back on Wednseday.
