Milaminute and Sparco's Group - Closed (Page 34)

That's great Mila!   Me -- Played some hoop last night -- that was scarry -- first time in literally 25 years....... Ran 3 miles this morning.  It may kill me, but I'm determined to get <font color = white> he who must not be named but loves cheesecake</font color> this summer!   Gotta push to do that!

1400 yds in last night...and a measly 20 min spin this morning...

Project made final approval today, so hope to get back to spending more time on BT training...but 2 in the family sick...I DON'T want to catch this one... 

Awesome progress, Sal.  That's a really big accomplishment.  Congratulations.

Funny...I could almost 'hear' a tone in your voice...je suis désolé...j'ai été ignorant...je t'ai envoyé un PM...

Congrats (I think! )   I remember when you complained about a 700 yard warm up....

Now, be humble about your stellar accomplishment... Wouldn't want to have a problem with your head not getting through the doorframe.....       (I know you'll be cool and only gloat to rub it in and make me more askeered about July!) --- ( Which I am VERY askeered about!    )

I think you need to go eat lots of CHEESECAKE  

Item #1:  There was no tone, Sal!
Item #2:  Dude... French?  Who knew!  Which leads me to:
Item #3:  No need to be.
Item #4:  It is bliss .
Item #5:  Yes, yes you did.  I received le PM.
Item #6:
Item #7:  Nice swim.

I don't think he really needs any encouragement to get more cheesecake.

Hey, did you hear about the 30 day cheesecake challenge, Sal?  You eat cheesecake every day for 30 days.  You should sign up .

Now I've heard about other recent 30-day challenges...haven't yet heard of the 30-day cheesecake challenge, although with my work schedule recently, that one might be a big flop...

Response to item #1:  Well, periods are overrated...the punctuations, that is...
Response to item #5:  Uh, sorry...Spanish is my foreign language of choice.  Have I ever told you that French articles make no sense?...unless it's like French silk cheesecake or French bread...

There definitely is Cash.  Of course, for me, it wasn't without a few embarrassing moments...let's see...like standing up and gasping for air the first time I tried the catch-up drill and the fist drill...uh...overcoming my freak-out issues in open water...luckily that one only took one season...o.k., maybe a season and a half...

Just keep hitting the pool at least twice a week and keep slowly bumping up the yardage...

Don't forget FRENCH TOAST, FRENCH DIPS and French Bikini's (ala the Beach Boys!)

By the way Cash, You can do it.   I was in the same boat as SAL at one point as well. 50 yards non-stop in the pool about KILLED me.    I'm better now... I can go 100....  

Seriously.   Put one arm in front of the other, and you'll get there!  Keep it up!

Hey Cash, keep doing the drills...you'll get the hang of it...

TI teaches zipper.  After the 'pull' (your hand 'pulls' back and hits your thigh), you bring your hand up the side of your body as if you were pulling a zipper up the side of your body.  You'll find as you do this, and as you're reaching with your opposite arm, that your body will naturally rotate, and as you zip up the side of your body, your arm will form a 'shark fin' above the surface of the water...

TI teaches entry just behind the ear.  I like to reach out a little more as my hand enters the water...about a foot in front of the top of my head.

Now the 'pull' I'm still working on...I've heard that you should keep your elbow high, and as you're using your forearm to help with the pull, your hand will be fairly close to your body...almost like you're pushing water past your chest all the way to your thigh...

Don't think I've quite got that one mastered...

Swimmers...please feel free to chime in...

I like any and all types of challenges.  My health might dictate that I'm not able to do too much but I do know there will be quite a bit of time in the saddle and at least one swim and one run.

Nice Job, Cash -- Sounds to me like you're getting there!   Keep it up!
