Artemis's Group - FULL! (Page 32)

UNCI - 2010-04-03 9:58 PM WOW, y'all have welcomed me so graciously and I haven't said anything yet. Thanks so much. I'm 56 years old, married, have 4 daughters and 5 grandchildren. I am fortunate to not have to work right now. 'course this really helps with training. I can be out there when no one else is and at the pool when it's quiet too.

I was next to last in my first and only Tri but I had so much fun and really felt good about finishing. I picked this Tri because it was a pool swim. I thought doing a Tri was enough without adding an open water swim. This year I'm scheduled to do the Columbia MD Iron Girl and the same Tri I did last year. I'm training with one of the training plans from Beginner Triathlete. I'm so lucky to have a great Tri club and my personal mentor, Nicole.

I am very slow but I don't mind. I have Fibromyalgia which causes a lot of aches and pains. It limits my stamina and any changes to my daily routine causes more pain. So when I started training it caused lots of aches. But once my body got used to it I found that if I stopped training I also hurt. So now I have to keep going. I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm having so much fun. Thanks for letting me in the group.

That's awesome!  Sounds like a great trade!!

Artemis - 2010-04-05 1:35 PM So it looks like this round of the mentor program is "over".  Would people be interested in continuing into the next round (April - June)?  We can have another mentor thread and have people from this group join and maybe get some new people.  Let me know what you think!

I think we'll also be able to keep chatting in this thread for at least a little while, so that's another option.

misfit_1 - 2010-04-06 7:21 PM Happy that we're keeping this thread going because I wanted to tell you all that I finally broke down and bought a 'cheap' watch for $40.00   It has exactly what I wanted: a timer.  And it told me today, that I still have my Mojo even though I haven't run in a few weeks.

mchally - 2010-04-06 7:28 PM I have a boyfriend!  wait...boyfriend sounds very high school.  Hmm, what about significant other?  Or that I found my 'soul-mate'.   Whatever...I have a very, very special guy friend now.

 I am happy and excited!
