Yes, but they all laughed at me when I tried to swim in the Snuggie...

Robby:  I actually just got clipless last weekend for the first time myself, so I know what you are going through!  I find when I am coming to a stop, I have no problem clipping out, as I am thinking about it.  When I fall, or almost fall, its at stupid times when I am just standing there with 1 foot in, and start to fall over and not take it out.  My buddy (the one who got me into biking in the first place) says it just eventually becomes subconscious, its just a matter of time I guess. 

I do love it though, much smoother pedals strokes, and just feels more efficient overall.

Robby, soon the clipless pedals will be second nature,it just takes time. I still today fall at corners and stop signs. I have a bad tendency to unlip my left foot and lean right (which is still clipped in). I have really embrassed myself doing this too!

I have fallen too!  It's kinda like a right of passage.  Welcome to the club!  

I had SPD pedals initially, for about 7 years, then switched to look bindings two years ago.  The bike shop put them on, and i brought the bike outside to try out (after they did the fitting).  I clipped in, and promptly fell over, in front of all of the bike shop guys (and the rest of the people in the lot).  I'm not sure if my pride or my hip hurt more.  I'm (slightly) more graceful now, but still miss the old pedals.

I'm just finishing a week on service at the hospital I work at, so I'll be around more (and working out more!), next week.

I set a new PB this morning on my swim

1 mile in 33:04.

Nonexistent!  But I did get to the gym for a run today, so I'm starting the week on the right track.

thank you sara and everyone else for your input on swim coaches.  i am giving myself a bit more time to feel ok in the pool before making a decision but, i will at least make some inquiries at the y where i am a member.

i swam on sunday and felt good about it so i'm planning to approach the next swim the same way - no stress, no trying to have good technique, just get in the water and move forward.  removing the internal pressure actually removes alot of my fears and that's realy the crux of my swimming problems right now.

^ nice run.  I usually stick to a 10min/mile as anything faster shoots my HR up.

Today is pretty crappy out, but I am going to try and get a 5k in.  There is a semi-private lake 100ft from my backdoor, so I am hopeing to get out on the kayak in a few days if it clears up!

Hey Anthony!!

I tried to figure out how to get the table to work.  I'll trade you swimming advice for some HTML advice!  Was there a space someone that I was supposed to take out? 

I think you need to edit the html of your blog/dashboard thing.  When you go to post a message, there is an 'html' button that will open a new window, and you can paste it in there.

There may be another way, but I know that way is one of them lol

I accidently stuck the list in the note portion of the blog and I kinda like it there!

Hoping to get in at least a 4 mile run tongiht. I need to get some 8-10 milers in soon and some OWS, but work is really getting in the way of my training! 

I just saw where it is suppose to be in the 80's through Sunday!!!!
