February 16-17
When are you NOT in a Lolo Jones mood? The guy born Yvonne Buschbaum, the champion pole vaulter, is so freakin' hot. I know everyone makes such a big deal of it because he is so hot, but still. He is. Speaking of track, field, gender, hotness, and hockey ... HOW WAS IT??? I keep salivating for updates and you've been under the weather and busy and all that, but but but ... I've been very patient. True! Yvonne Buschbaum! Yeah, sorta feminine but ... in a hot way, no???
Ughhhhh hockey. It's what catapulted me to my absolute last straw. We were playing a college team, so it wasn't easy peasy. We didn't get creamed but we didn't win either. Unfortunately we were just a hodge-podge of ladies put together that had no experience playing with one-another so it took us some time to adjust. Once we started playing well (finally), the college girls got nasty. I got hit from behind and saw stars. So hard, in fact, my chin strap was pulled all the way up to my nose. Ouch. Mainly I was just starting to get sick and just didn't have my normal spark, ya know? Oh yeah, I also had a tire blowout on the freeway on the way over, baaaarely made it to the game on time.
Alright, that all sounds so Debbie Downer. I should add that I got to spend some FANTASTIC time with family and also went running along the river one day (gorgeous) and then the next day out at the wildlife reserve where we saw Coyotes and birds (swans even) and lots of other furry friends. Veeery cool, even though I was feeling like absolute sh*t.
and look how muddy/snowy it was 1. hockey rules - you're a stud. Wish I knew how to play and am impressed by all who do. 2. you have yummy calves. 3. I like your shoes. SUBMIT! goody goody gumdrops! (isn't that what Melanie calls rockin' calves?) |

It sounds weird, but I'm kind of excited about the snow. I figure it doesn't matter how bad my race goes...I DID IT IN THE SNOW! Exactly! Post pictures, please!!! |

Master 7712  Orlando | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED rrrunner - 2013-02-15 2:18 PM Once again there is a topic for which I can offer no real advice as I have no idea how to run in that type of weather other than as fast as I can so i can be done. I will offer my hopes that the stupid pink girl stays away!melbo55 - 2013-02-15 12:38 PM OK, the mostly official decision on my Sunday race/training is (drum roll, please): do a mile warm-up around the track (the race is at a local college and the track very, very close to where the race begins), do the 5K at a medium-ish pace and return to the track for a mile cool-down, brilliant! I want to make sure they don't run out of chicken corn noodle soup (which is not quite as motivating as Irish coffee but still mighty good) before I finish my mileage, hence breaking it up to before and after. Dressing warm will be key as well. High of 29*F with 19mph winds. Oof. Snow showers Sat. night and flurries Sun. could make for icy/slippery conditions on the road, we shall see what Mother Nature brings, although I hope it does snow during the race. As Kirsten said, it is so pretty and peaceful running in snow. Hopefully 'pink girl' isn't there again to inadvertantly force me to run faster than I want to! Sounds like a great plan! Hopefully the wind won't make things miserable. As for pink girl... well I just don't know what to say about that... Edited by amd723 2013-02-15 2:44 PM |

Sounds like the weather from over here has finally reached you. We are heading into another 95*day today but then hopefully it will be a little cooler for 3 or 4 days before we get another string of 90-100* days. I eventually found some new bike shoes yesterday they are Tri Speed fromLouis Garneau. They felt really comfy as soon as I put them on. They have a nice high arch support which felt great. Got a 90 minute ride planned for today so I will see how they go. Now I just have to work out how to attach the cleats. I spent the night trolling the Internet for instructions last night cause there is none with the shoes or the cleats. Stupid me thought that oh yea easy just put the 3 screws in the 3 holes right. But there is this extra set of 2 screw holes on a metal plate that slides back and forth inside the sole of the shoe. Do I just ignore that cause none of the holes in it line up with my shimano cleats? I know, I know I should have got the guy at the shop to put them in for me but I didn't and I don't have time for the hour drive to go back to the shop and I don't want to look like a moron to the guy at the shop (happy to do it here cause I know my pod mates are happy to answer stupid nooby questions). Yanti I also took your advice and booked in for a full bike fit in a couple of weeks time (the soonest they could fit me in) which they are happy to do even though I ride a base model Giant road bike. |

Master 1970 Somewhere on the Tennessee River | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED I must say that not only do I do better in cold weather but I strive when the weather is in the 40s. Refereed two high school varsity soccer games and I'm not even tired. Tri training pays off in spades. Two more games scheduled for tomorrow. Soreness by running in a different style may be the only limiting factor. One runs for the duration if one cares about what one does. Getting paid to do so adds gravy Fit and 55 rocks! N=1 so your mileage may vary... |

(full disclosure: I love to hate the Avs. I'm a Wild fan... Parise and Suter... yes please...) Glad to see you back, even if you do hate on my Avs...
Awe, TJ, we can still be friends right? put aside our differences? I don't know you, and I have mad love for the Avs.... Not sure I'm going to be as welcoming a my pod mates! It's going to take a lot more to win me over than a pretty smile and / or a sense of humor. I'm going to extend (ever so cautiously) an olive branch though. My name is Chad. It's nice (sort of) to meet you AV HATER.
Yeah, I hear drunken jailbirds go a long way with you. Young, Hot drunken jailbirds LMFAO @ both of you... I am "catching" up with the thread again and I just caught this. There are things I still need to update ya'll on with the YOUNG, SUPER HOT, drunken jailbird! |

I was praying for you t'other day during my IMNZ-simulation trainer ride. You were one of the people who popped up for, funnily enough, C ... since I never think of you as Chad and I don't think I've ever called you that. Thanks.... Skrat, Chad, Dude, Homey, Buddy, a-hole, jerk, sh*t head.... I've been called a lot of things, but I have to admit, "Skrat" (you are the only one who calls me that) is one of my favorites. I'm not sure that I know what you mean when you say "You were one of the people who popped up for, funnily enough, C"... as I don't have a simulator, can you elaborate a bit? Oh for goodness sake Skrat, "popped up" should be all the information you need here. Salty - stop being awesome...I think I'm developing a crush on you. |
