I like your attitude!  And best of all, the swimming you have done is really paying off!

* orange for a change of pace

Nice pics of the kids.  My daughters always wanted to go to one of those girly stores but somehow we avoided it.  And the pic the of the blimp...does he fully suit up to play in the yard?  That's awesome.

Anyone seen the movie "Run Fat Boy Run"  Not an instant classic, but worth a watch.  Some funny stuff - training stuff I could definitely relate to.

November's totals:
Bike:	5h 47m 41s  - 97.67 Mi
Run:	3h 51m 01s  - 17.57 Mi
Swim:	1h 04m  - 5924 Yd
Strength:	2h 45m

The numbers are what they are for not doing anything except therapy and biking since Beach 2 Battle.

Steve - it is my understanding the rollers help mainly on balance.  To be honest they would be more beneficial for me than him.  I have a weird twitch in my riding where every 3 seconds I do a quick weave to the left. Not sure what is going on with that.  Doug is looking into racing cyclocross next year and I thought the bike handling skills would benefit, although he already does mountain biking.  So I guess this would be a - gift for him that I want - kind of thing.  We already have a trainer and I can't afford a CT right now so I was looking for feedback.  Alternatively I was thinking of those 5 fingered running shoes that protect the soles of you feet while allowing you to "run barefoot".  Vibrams I believe they are called.  However, if any of you remember Baowolf from previous groups we gave him such a hard time about those things I don't want to face the "old timers" and admit I bought a pair.  Doug has taken to doing a little barefoot running and I think these would help.  I am being very undecided right now apparently.......

Tracy:

I would hold off on the Vibram five fingers right now. In 200 a few more companies are set to come out with their own "barefoot" shoes. This will provide a wider variety of shoes and might bring prices down.

I have an alert going for CT's (even though i have one) and I get an email anytime one is posted on a craigslist anywhere in the US. I have found them as cheap as $300 (in Henderson NV no less, and no our member there did not buy it.) If you are interested in one I will keep an eye out for you.

cadmus - 2009-12-01 9:08 AM Well, my Novemver numbers are what they are - not going to worry about it.

I slept through my alarm set for 3:30am this morning to catch a 5:20 flight.  Woke up at 4:15 and was showered, dressed, parked, and through security in <35 mins.  This is the first time I've ever been thankful our airport is so small.  Now sitting at SeaTac waiting for my connection.

Oh to be a guy.... that would never happen for me!  Safe travels.

Oh Matt, I'm guessing your didn't get your hair curled, or your foundation applied before you left the house.  SNERK

Man I could get used to these mid 70's temps here in FL.  Starting to look for any tuneup races before Lonestar.  Maybe able to get an OWS sprint in the week before, tough to find much before april.

Hopefully I can get a sprint and an oly in ahead of time...
