Ghoulie March (biking) Madness!!! (Page 33)

Good thing I don't freak out about post counts.  Believe it or not, but I used to have more than Phil, and look at him now.  LOL

^^^^^^ Post Count TOPPAGE!

Double YUCK!

It means...Stay Indoors where it is safe.  We don't want you to be buzzard food.

Beautiful necklace for a beautiful person!

Hey Ghoulies! I had a nice 3 mile run today and took some pics while I was out there. I think I finally figured out the sizing thing, so I'll post some here for ya. The one with the sailboats is the marina between Harbor Island and Spanish Landing Park that I run by a lot when I go from work. The one with me has downtown SD in the background. Enjoy!

Oh man, Tom that run path looks dangerously beautiful. I am jealous of all of you who are wearing shorts and sunglasses and t-shirts. It did get up to 50 briefly at Salt Lake Int'l Airport, but then it rained the rest of the day--a cold rain, with tons of wind. Brrrr.

Stacie, I love love love that necklace!!! Nice find.

Good news--I took my bike to the shop to be built today!!! Hubby's headed out of town again tomorow--so he decided it was ok to take both bikes to a shop--I guess he finally came to grips with the fact that his schedule doesn't allow for hours of time to work on bikes. The dork. I love him, but he's a dork sometimes. He's been home for a a range of one to 6 days at a time for a couple months now. How much do the LBS around you guys charge for a custom bike build? My bike came in pieces. The naked frame, plus all the components still in their original packaging. Phone quotes ranged from 100 to 150 dollars. i ended up taking them to a shop that is about 20 miles away, but is a sponsor of our local tri club, and they told me on the phone they'd knock the price down to $80 each bike, but it's usually $100. When I walked in I talked with a different employee who said "ok, so this will be about $160 per bike". Uh, the other guy said $80. "Oh, ok, it'll be $80 then". Wow. I guess I get overcharged both at the bike shop and the car shop, LOL. I have been told many times I just look so wholesome and young (this coming from people in Utah...young, blonde, and naive are the norm here). Must make people think they can take advantage.  

Good evening Ghoulies. Just dropping by to say good night and that I won't be around much tomorrow. I have a training session all morning, followed by a lunch with some heavy brass, and then more training. Yay. At least it's just one day. I have a swim scheduled, so hopefully I can fit that in at some point. I hope you all have a happy hump day!

Good morning Ghoulies

Morning Ann.
Are you feeling better today? I am sending you a pasel of good day at work mojo!

I do NOT look wholesome and young and I get taken all the time at these places.  Good job on going there, though. This way it will be done and if not correctly you have someone other than your DH to bicch at!
FWIW, My LBS would be about 100 bucks each.

Green grass and blue sky!  I'm so jealous right now.

My run last night was mid-30s and raining!

TOM, You get to run and ride in a seriously pretty place! Look at all that blue water, sky, not to mention your hottie self. You do know that the Queen will be using you for wallpaper now!

Exciting that you're bike is finally getting built!  I think 100 bucks seems about the norm.

Good morning Ann and Robin!

And good morning to all you other ghoulies who have yet to wake up!

Morning Neal

Good morning Neal and Robin

WHO ME???

using our TOM for wallpaper??

HELL YA I AM.



ROBIN.  you know me soooo well.

and TOM thanks for the MIGHTY FINE WALL PAPER.

logging on to my computer was never....such....a pleasant.....experience.

beats pictures of boring sunsets or spring flowers.

BTW.  GHOULIES.  doesnt TOM look SUPER DUPER UBER HOT in BLUE although blue being on the cool end of the spectrum.

  MOST DEFINATELY YOUR COLOR, TOM.  you should wear it OFTEN.

MORNING NEAL, ROBIN AND ANN!!!!


manohpete.

my legs are COMPLETELY BLASTED from last nights workout.

500 yard swim, finished at 8:36.  i would say i was about 70-75%.  i was excited to see my time when i picked my head out of the water, knowing i had/have more to give to the swim.....

1+ hour spin.  holy moly did my friend give me something to chase all night.  he's a maniac on a spin bike.  i would say definately 80-85% the whole hour.  took out way harder than i will come the indoor tri.

followed up by a swifty 1 mile 8-9min/mile run, and 1/2 mile recovery jog.  the run was at 75-80% id say.  still have more to lay down.  the indoor track at the Y was so crowded.  TONS of walkers.  and couple kids that kept getting in the way.  no worries.  they'll have the track cleared for the tri then i can cruise uninterrupted.


i thought i could get a strength training session in this morning before i head out for my appointment, but im thinking i need a few more hours to recover....so it will be when i make back to the Burbs.


been cruisin' the Jobs Sections on some local agencies/organization websites.  gotta get some more hours.....more money.....somewheres.

cant be hanging out in coffee shops and bars having conversations with cute boys the rest of my life. 

or perhaps..... i could turn that into a meaningful career of some sort!!!!

LOL.

thats settles it.

im coming to bail your scandinavian azz outta that training. 

i'll meet at the back of the building oh say, 10:30ish. 

what floor you on???

you can schimmy down the downspout.
 
or perhaps you can repel down the side of the building.  youre military.  you military types know how to do that right???

i'll be there to catch ya....should you fall 

then we can ride away on our bikes..... to The Point perhaps?  or some other TOP SECRET undisclosed location.

BLUE SUNNY SKIES AND WATER IS A MUST.

noone will even know your gone, im certain of it.
