X-Men (Page 4)

I bought my one piece swimsuit from Dick's about a year and a half ago and, though it's still in pretty good condition, I want to trade them in for snug-fitting swim shorts and a top.

Sooo, Lands' End has a new line of swimwear called Aqua Terra and I think I'm going to order a couple pieces from them.

LORA.  i cant wait for that report either. 

it IS completely insane!  thats what has me so jacked.

who does that sorta thing?

first of all, ewwwwww.

second of all, ewwwwww.

and third of all, WRONG WRONG WRONG to take someones stuff.

id LOVE to get me one of those two piece suits.

i have a tri suit that i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE but would never wear it all the time in our overly chlorinated bathing suit EATING pool at the R.E.S. Y.

thing is, i was already in the market to get a new suit, BUT the NOW STOLEN ONE i had, was in pretty decent condition that it would have made for a totally sweet back up suit.

but now its gonna be someone else totally sweet STOLEN back up suit, and that just CREAMS MY CORN!!!  [heard that on Big Bang Mon. night, and just HAD to use it somewhere, it made me laugh so hard]

alls i got to say is KARMA is a you know what....

THAT and im on her like STORM [aka Halle Berry coolchick from X-MEN] IN A FIERCE SUPER HERO-VILLIAN BATTLE!  she's goin' down! 

[guess the wink gave away my real MO.....giggle]

step-up your checking in, indeed.

you dont want to miss out on all the

SUPER SILLINESS thats

sure to ensue 'round here

[even if SIR PHILLIP doesnt show]

a

yeah.

and your point is?

^^^^^ oops

sorry

didnt see your 2nd sentence before I posted my response.  [quick wit, needs to read posts thoroughly before responding.....]

you made your point quite nicely, NEAL.

When I first read this i tought you were saying that skrtrnr is completely insane...    i agree though that i'm going to enjoy the follow-up post if skrtrnr sees someone wearing her suit at the Y... 

So i have some catching up to do here!!!

so... sorry about the lost suit stacie...  that kind of crazy that someone would do that...

katie - thats pretty brave of you doing the shamrock shuffle...  i'm assuming you got similar weather to us in milwaukee...  it was awful!!!  my car got stuck in front of my house sunday morning...

erica - i hope the little guy is feeling better (or done faking...) i have been thinking of picking up some spinerval dvds but have never watched them as of yet...  and i generally just listen to my ipod or watch something on tv...

sorry for the brief response...  and 'm sure i missed a bunch in the thread...  so i'll do better at keeping up going forward!!!

by the way... did a 5 miles tempo run... and got my first strength training session... it was only 20 minutes.. but a hard 20 minutes - so i'm counting it!!!

happy day 1 to team xmen!!! 

Hi team - dont know if yuor new team member has popped by yet, mav.

Please make them welcome!

Ugh.  I just spent an hour and a half making a photo calander for Bryan.  He is leaving to go on deployment sometime soon and I have to do all this crap to make him feel missed!   It was a royal pain in the arse but hopefully it is worth it.  When it gets here, I'll color code days when he can open a card or a small gift.  He's on submarines so I have to get some things that don't take up a lot of space.  I need to send him with birthday presents and Christmas presents.  And I have to have it all soon.  ACK!  What do you get a dude that doesn't need anything and doesn't take up a lot of space?  Ideas anyone???  No itunes or gift cards cause there is no internet and the port calls he'll have are unknown.  Top secret and all.   Maybe a Visa card.  But that isn't real personal.  Oooo, our 10th anniversary too.  Grrrrr!  This is tough.

Yay mav!  Mav convinced me to do my first HIM. 

WOW!!! Misssed the first day with the X Men!!!! Took a while to catch up on the posts!

This is my third season of tris and I plan on doing a HIM in June..with Erica!!!!!

Biking is my super power of the month. I really need to improve so I set my goal at 500 miles. I will probably regret such a lofty goal but its worth trying!! Started today with a 55 mile ride. I hit three states Mass, Conn, and RI. Definately a first for me!

The stolen bathing suit is just WRONG!!!!! Cant imagine wearing anyone elses nasty bathing suit...lowest of low.

I swim alot and I have many bathing suits. I like Speedo and Nike. I will often go to TJ Max and Marshalls and they have them for $12-$17 which is cheaper than Sierra Trading post. I have tri suits (one and 2 piece) but I never wear them in chlorine they are too expensive.

SO GLAD I AM NOT A POWDER PUFF GIRL!!! What is that????

wow - i spent 6 years in the marine corps infantry reserves and we spent some time on various naval ships during our training...  i cant imagine having to spend any serious amount of time on a submarine...  that would be tough... 

in regards to presents...  i would say anything to pass the time... books...??  little handheld games..??  all guys used to play those little handheld football games when they were young...  however.. not to be overly inappropriate...  but my initial thought was dirty pictures...  i mean the guy is going to be holed up on a sub with a bunch of other guys for how long...???  but that aside...  you could also include his favorite snacks...  just looking back at when i was away.. anything that reminds you of home is a winner...

So yeah, I guess I was supposed to introduce myself and all that jazz.

So I am Mike, training for IM Louisville. Married with a 3yr old and a 3month old at home to keep me busy. I really need to have a solid month of training so hold me accountable. Best of luck to all of us!

welcome mike... i watched the videos from your blog.. very cool... here is one for that i like...

Okay guys, we need a team chart.  Anyone want to volunteer?  I'll try to get one made up before the end of the day but it takes me forever to get it done!

While I'm sure the dirty magazines would be a big hit, I just can't bring myself to go and buy them!   I cannot imagine being on a sub for any length of time either.  Just going down to have dinner is way more than enough for me.  Ewwww.  It's small and smells weird.  No thank you!

ahhh BEN

just wait, you'll see.....

and the legal limit around here is 10 mins, right?

so that makes 20 minutes twice the legal limit 

so twice as GREAT. 

WAY TO GO ON THAT TEMPO RUN TOO.  a nice addition.

ST is your super power this month right?

WOO HOO FOR YOU!

and thanks for the swim suit sympathy.

im still grieving the loss -

i think im WAY past DENIAL, but still in the ANGER phase.

that evil villian GRODY GIRL swim suit stealer just better watch her back. 

im all up in my bad X-Men super hero persona - a TSUNAMI in the lap pool when i see her in MY suit

[im super cool chic STORM Halle Berry style]

Hi MAV - welcome to the X-MEN aka GLAD WERE ALL NOT POWER PUFF GIRLS.  and your right to ask, just WHAT IS a power puff girl?

anyway.  look at you with that LOFTY GOAL.  i think its GRAND!  and i think your gonna do GREAT.

aim at nothing and that's exactly what you reach - nothing.  but aim high, and the sky is the limit!  SO YOU JUST GIRL WITH YOUR BAD CYCLING SELF. 

and 55 miles, 3 states, impressive on your first day of the challenge. 

thanks for the swimsuit shopping advice - i have a marshalls and tj maxx very close to my house and never think to go there for some reason - now i have reason to go - $12-17 dollar suits, WAHOO!

btw, are you calling my bathing suit NASTY??   

just kidding

it IS nasty to STEAL WITH THE INTENT TO WEAR someone suit.

JUST PLAIN NASTY.

but Grody Girl aside....

it will be fun sharing this high-flying super power challenge with you and the rest of the X-MEN.

let me give this some thought ERICA....

how long will he be gone?  im assuming awhile if were talking christmas present.

holy crapoly.

and what a lot to do in such a short period of time. 

my friends husband is in the military and gone most of the time [not deployed, off recruiting in another state....]

you have my admiration.  its not easy what you military wives do.  seriously!

HI MIKE. 

welcome to the team!  were happy to have you!  gonna kick super hero arse now are we???  WOOO HOOOOO.

as for holding you accountable, whatever you need from us, you got it! 

SOLID MONTH OF TRAINING most definately.

whats your super power, so we know when to yell at MOTIVATE you? 

[i could always go and borrow DEEs taser if you start slacking]

onward HO!

i have absolutely NO technical prowess [i cant even change my avatar for gosh sakes. ive tried and failed a million times] BUT....

i can keep you company, keep your wine glass filled and entertain you with super silly conversations about absolute nonesense while its taking you FOREVER to get it done

i can volunteer for that.
