Hot Toddies (Page 4)

Yup.  It is a never ending battle at this point.  I shouldn't say that, it's could be worse.  I ended up getting about 50% of what I wanted.  Maybe even 60%.  I will get the rest, it is just a matter of when.  I want a test done that (auditory memory/processing)  the school thinks we should wait until next year, when they are certain he will fail.  They think he might pass it now and it will be a false positive.  They are telling me that they can't do the test at the school and they would have to pay (read spend money they don't want to) someone else to do it.  Also, they can only give this test once every few years.  Doesn't add up to me but that is okay.  I will press on until I get the answers I am satisfied with.  I just don't see why they want to wait until he is further behind.  Makes me grouchy!

Goodnight!  Get some rest!

Hello fellow team mates!

My name is Melissa (Mel) I'm a mother of two girls 6, and 3 and this is my first year training for tri's.  I'm working from the couch to sprint program on this site.  Have some knee issues so I have to take training slow esp. the running.  My goal this month is to run/walk 45 miles.  I'm working up to being able to run for 30 min straight, am currently at 6 min walk and 24 min run.

Was on PT Freaks team last month and they taught me how to post pad encourage my felow team mates   So you will hopefully see me around post padding I mean encouraging you all a lot.

Hi Kristin

Night Kristin!

See you tomorrow!

Glad your trip was fun and you got home safe. Sorry to hear about the food poisoning though!!!

Hey Mel.  Nice to meet you!  You have two super cute girls! 

Man that does suck, sorry the women around you seem to be having technical difficulties, like being able to think and express said thoughts.  You did get a new sweet bike (although I don't see pics ) and you can still ride that.  Hope the kids are taking it easy on ya.

This month will be MUCH better. 

Hopefully a few more easy weeks on the knee and you can start running again?  Otherwise I've heard spinervals can be distracting and you do have a sweet new ride....

Ok, well I got to say that one is just on you.   Might be able to sweet talk Dee or Beth into editing something fun/exciting into it for ya.

Not an actual pic of the bike, but from the online catalog. Plus i got some nice wheels that I'll put on.

VERY NICE!!!  Are those the same colors you went with to?

Sorry to hear about your chick problems.   That really sucks!  I am thinking that committing to your kids and training sounds like a good idea!  How many kids/how old?  

I hear you on the running is therapy!  It is how I have stayed sane during the past few weeks!!!

Lookin good!!!!!

Clearance sale, even better!!  And look at you Mr. Speedy!!  Again, very cool!

It's tough to find someone who can accept you and the kids.  It's a package deal.  My hubby has a son who is 17.  He lived with us for awhile and it was tough.  He ended up going back to live with his mom after a few years.  The military lifestyle of moving every few years was way too hard on him.  It is tough but I knew what I was getting into when I married Bryan.  I hope you can figure out a happy balance soon!  There will be someone who will be thrilled with you and your kids.  It just might take awhile for her to appear.

Hey there teammates!  I am very excited about this challenge!  I am training for my first 1/2 mary in March.  I have just started actually enjoying running, so I'm hoping to break my goal of 60 miles this month

A little about me...I'm married and a mom to an amazing 4 yr old.  Last year's new year's resolution was to complete a tri...so I did 3.  Loved them!  My goal for next year is the Little Rock 1/2 Mary in March, a few tris during the summer and maybe a full marathon at the end of the year. 

Good luck to everyone!!

I'll second this vote.

that's a cute name!  Shall I change the name of the thread?

I went ahead and changed it - let me know if you want it changed to something else

ta ta!
