Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 37)

I'm not sure you know what you got yourself into Nicole

I think someone said this but not sure...have a workout buddy.  Plan to meet one of your friends at the gym at a certain time.  It forces you to get out of bed knowing someone is expecting you to be there.

Put the loud alarm in the bathroom so you have to get up and out of bed

That'd be rough for us, 4am to get her up at 5am

One of the things that helps me a lot when I need to get up early is to prepare everything I need for my workout or ski day right before bed.  The act of gathering up clothes and gear and putting it in a bag just seems to stamp the 'get up early' idea on my brain, and I often don't even need the alarm.  I start waking up and looking at the clock an hour before the alarm is set to go off.  This might not work if you get up that early every day, but for me it works well a few times a week.

Ken is up by 4:30 every morning so he can call you.  He is one of those peole whose feet hit the ground before he turns the alarm off.  On his run days he goes out to run 5-6, showers, takes one of our boys to feed his pig, takes him to school then drives 37 miles to work and is there before 7.

Of course it is 9:30 and I am still in my jammies nursing my coffee.  He's the bird, I'm the owl.

Something else that seems obvious on its face but is often forgotten is that we're much more likely to give up the comfort of a warm bed and extra sleep for something we're intrinsically motivated to do. This means that even though you may love triathlon, it's not enough to tell yourself, "Gee, I can't wait to do my workout today." Sometimes workouts are drudgery. A way around this is to always set a small goal of some kind, like: "tomorrow I will swim a sub-10 500," or "tomorrow I will try that new abs workout I saw on BT." Know what you're going to do when you go to bed, and make some part of it a goal to be met.

Invest in a TRAINER!  You are a stud for going out and riding in this weather!  COLD & WINDY! F' a bunch of that!

If we are freaks, that must make you a Super Freak, she's super freaky!

(813) TRI-CHIC *she's special*       Now get to callin' and wake her butt up at 5am!

Problem solved....  http://www.go-girl.com/
So I guess he'll be working out with you...    NEXT!      *LMAO!!!*

I highly recommend.  Eric and I do this as well.  It definitely helps.  I don't want to be picking out clothes when I am barely awake.

Where the heck do you find this stuff?  Does Todd have a website I don't know about

JP & Thomas...and the other cold weather riders out there.  Do you wear face coverings, full shoe covers, leg warmers or full pants/tights, and what kind of gloves?  (sorry multiple questions in one)   But seriously, I have worn layers for cold rides... and face, ears, hand & feet freeze the F' off even with gear on.  Granted I am not a 'cold weather' guy like some of you northerners or transplanted northerners... just curious.  I don't want to drop several hundred bucks on cold weather gear that I would only use a few times a year.  More worthwhile to me to invest in a trainer.

Yes, Todd sent me the link... double dog dared me to post it! lol!


google is a great thing!  

*It was on Oprah once!*  or so I was told... lol!

Hand over your man card...

Todd is the one that told me.... YANK his card!

Makes sense with all the BT he listens to.

For the new folks, Todd is our resident Bonnie Tyler (BT) listener

Hey team Evondo........


One week in and I aready have a sore knee   More so, after volleyball then training but bothering me mentally and physically at the least!   

Went to a Tri-Club last night and listen to the local race reviews.  A lot of races to chosse from. 

x2 on this one.  I HAVE TO have all my gear laid out/swim bag packed and ready to go, before I go to bed. 

I don't know Nicole well, but just going by the last couple of weeks of posting I think this may be the biggest issue of all for her...

I would hate to see the sites you found by googling "Girl peeing device"is that why it took you over an hour to post after I dared you...

X3. I also always do the alarm in the bathroom thing.  I find if I have to get out of bed to turn it off it is easier to stay awake.  I also find it easier to get up if I am sleeping on the couch- which seems to happen much too often!

What the...

I seriously do not even have words.

Clearly I underestimated the number of weirdos in the world when I made my pee standing up comment.  That is just... and it's.... oh lord.  And for the love of mac and cheese it's freaking pink!?!?!

I think I would be offended if I wasn't laughing so darn hard.

And Justin, doesn't matter who found it, you quoted Oprah.  Your man card is history.



Todd and Kevin, I am not the type of girl to ever refuse KFK hanky panky... so I might just need to adjust to a little sleep deprivation if I have to choose between the two.    (do they have a blushing bright red smiley face?)

Clearly, even though I thought I was prepared, I had NO idea what these boys are capable of.  Hehe.

Wow ... I was going to respond to Nicole's original question but I should probably deal with the water that shot out the nose and on the computer.
