Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() We're actually the same person... no, I'm joking. Yes, it's a kid thing. Nine year old daughter, so a little too young to leave home alone, and no dinero for babysitting at the moment. I'll twist his arm into letting me meet the group at some point, though!! I'm definitely in for Belle Isle with you all next year, too. ![]() Heather |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() jogo - 2009-12-31 9:26 AM I am on the fence about doing a New Year's Eve 4 mile run today. My hamstrings are still so sore after my trainer on Monday. The trainer just laughed last night and said everyone walks like that the first time they stength train hammies. I'm so glad that he found amusement in my pain. It is better today, but I am going to see how they are after a couple hours. Its not until 3:30pm so I have some time. I'm thinking I'll probably wait till next year though. Why risk injury? Good thinking but you need to keep stretching and moving them. |

Thanks, planning on a swim and a soak in the bubble tub at the gym instead of the run. Ahhh, bubble tub, I can't wait, heat and stretching. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() dexter - 2009-12-31 5:41 AM OK I need a weight from you Sunday. If you take it friday and give it to me Sunday OK. Just once a week at the same time weigh yourself. This sunday is the start this time only we weigh Sunday. After that whenever at the same time during the week. Personally Friday is always my best day. I'm working on the graph ans stats thingie. Have a great New Year Eve. Be good but enjoy, MAC36 since you turn 2010 first give us a report. Mike and I are running 7.8 mile tomorrow morning in the resolution run. Keep me in check for the evening. Have a terrific reso run! That should definitely keep you in check!! For me...until sunday....I am EATING and DRINKING. Ha! Hot buttered rum in the hot tub at midnight...mmmm. But seriously, everyone have a great weekend and Happy New Year! Holly |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() bfwhitt - 2009-12-30 8:22 PM It is called the Winter Warm up program or something like that....it is for those that have already done at least one Sprint...it was not on my list og goals until yesterday...so I need help wrapping my head around the distance...piece of cake...plan and train and then train and plan...what ever that means.... winter warm up...sounds good. How is it set up? Mine has 1 short and 1 long session/wk. of each run, bike and swim. I am on week one....so don't really know how it's going yet. Just wondering if yours is similar. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Warning: Long Post Alert!! I always take a lot of encouragement, information, and inspiration from groups like this. Generally I don’t have a lot to offer, but here’s my attempt to encourage and inform at the onset of 2010. A couple of you have commented on my nutrition logging. I haven’t used the nutrition feature on BT so I have no idea about it. The one I use is ENERGYsmart by New Leaf. My trainer set it up and I like it OK. It’s nothing special really but I’ve spent a lot of time entering foods and meals into it so I’m not likely to switch anytime soon. If you haven’t taken the time to log your nutrition intake, I highly recommend you do so. I don’t feel like I need to do it all the time, but I do need to get back to it a few times a year for a couple of weeks. Here’s why:
So that’s my encouragement for you to take a couple of weeks and keep a really accurate account of EVERYTHING you eat. I keep a little notebook with me all the time to write stuff down. Otherwise I’ll forget by the time I get to the computer. Yea, it's a pain in the but it's only for a few weeks. And now for the inspirational portion of this post. #2 - Spirit of the Marathon – God, I love this video. It documents six people in their preparation for the Chicago marathon. Includes one of my heroes, Deena Kastor. #1 – Bicycle Dreams – I’ve watched this video a dozen times or more. Documents the Race Across America and it’s WONDERFUL. Stephen Auerbach has won a bunch of awards for this documentary and they’re well deserved. And the people who do this? They’re cyborgs. Prepare to feel insignificant and weak. (Wow, that doesn't sound very inspiring does it? Trust me. It is.) Happy New Year everyone. Let’s all work harder in 2010 than we did in 2009. Chip Edited by snaproll 2009-12-31 1:16 PM |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I was lazy and only did one this summer. My training partners kind of fell by the wayside and I was working a lot of hours...I know, I know...excuses. So, that's why I decided to re-devote myself. I missed that feeling I had the first year training and competing. ..so here I am. There is one sprint I want to do in August and the OLY in May and I don't know what else at this point...guess we'll see about more as we go along...see how the training and the body respond. |

It's raining here and the fireworks are going off like crazy and the dogs are nervous and scared. We would go out to the hot tub too tonight, but since it's cold and rainy we're just going to stay in! LOL about your weekend plans before Monday....I want to do that too! ![]() Hollz - 2009-12-31 12:48 PM HNewman - 2009-12-31 9:04 AM We're actually the same person... no, I'm joking.

Michis?) do we have in this group? ![]() Okay, so I'm jealous...there are Michiganders (at least 3 from what I've counted) and then there's Dud and Marmadaddy in upstate NY.....I know there isn't anyone but me in Louisiana....that sux!! Actually, I am usually the only one from the South in my group anyway. And no, I'm not a native Louisianian or Southerner.....I was born in Southeast Asia....Singapore to be exact, but I am a true American now, having lived in the US for over 22 years (I'm 36). Anyway, more than you wanted to know about me. snaproll - 2009-12-31 1:14 PM Warning: Long Post Alert!! I always take a lot of encouragement, information, and inspiration from groups like this.

I really enjoyed reading it. I agree with you on the nutrition logging thing. I'll be doing a nutrition challenge with my Crossfit gym starting on Monday and so I will be logging my nutrition....additionally I also got a BodyBugg for xmas and it also calls for food logging as well. I've always been hesitant and RESISTANT to food logging because I was subconsciously not wanting to know the truth about my eating. I hate the idea of a diet or dieting, but I am learning (you would think I should have known this by now!!) that 90% of weight loss is about nutrition. And THANK YOU for the inspiration video list. I have seen Spirit of the Marathon and heard of the Ultraman but never seen the video. I will definitely be checking those out in 2010. You said, "Happy New Year everyone. Let’s all work harder in 2010 than we did in 2009." Amen, brother!! ![]() Edited by zeefraugtries 2009-12-31 6:38 PM |

Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Food loggers might be interested in the Daily Plate, too - it's got pretty much every food under the sun already entered, so it makes it *really* easy to log: http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate. Happy New Year, everyone!!! |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() MAC36 - 2009-12-31 7:31 PM HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! Hmmm.......would that be Lance Armstrong? ![]() Interesting fact: Lance Armstrong was 16 when he competed at the RiverCities Triathlon here in my neck of the woods. He still holds the the all time fastest finish time for that triathlon....to this day. It's actually a great triathlon with probably the best swag bag you can dream of. I've done that triathlon twice. Happy New Year!! Edited by zeefraugtries 2009-12-31 8:18 PM |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Happy New Year, new friends!!!! It will be a good year. I started with my healthy eating program today. I am hoping it helps get rid of this headache that has plagued me for the past 5 days. I get a lot of headaches but I had a time period where they went away earlier this month and I was eating better. The swimming did not help yesterday. I ended up taking some sudafed to dry up my sinuses. I think that I must've sucked in a lot of chlorine water, more than I thought. But swimming felt good and I felt strong and balanced. (its my weakness so I celebrate all successes in the water). I, too, am doing the winter prep/4-7 hour plan. I am doing that for a time period that I adjusted and then programmed a sprint plan (I don't remember which one and the BT site only tells you the last one that you enter), and then after my 1st sprint, I start the sprint to oly bridge to get me to where I want to be. I may relook at that. I am registering for the USAF half marathon today (reduced rates today only). 2010 is beginning!!!! |

I've got black eyed peas on the stove and cabbage and cornbread to go on later. I'm into this cooking kick lately....made my first crown roast of pork for a Christmas dinner a few weeks ago. Of course, no more of this type of cooking for at least a month because I'll be starting the paleo diet come Monday as a nutrition challenge for Crossfit. I need to start looking at a more defined training plan as you have done. I don't have one yet. Proud of you for getting started and making strong goals. Cheers to 2010 starting off well!!!!! |

I got the black eyed pea idea from all my patients talking about cooking them, so I caught the fever. The peas are done. I'm debating the cabbage (I love it, but my partner hates the smell!) and I'll make the cornbread later. Got the LSU Capital One Bowl on right now....geaux Tigers!!!!! BTW...where are you located? We probably drove right by last week when we were driving up to Missouri. We have to through Arkansas. We ALWAYS stop at the Wal-Mart in Rogers....my favorite Wal-Mart although I was disappointed this year because there was hardly any after-xmas stuff left on Sunday.

My in-laws got us this oven thing for Christmas and I'd like to be able to start using it. Don't have the rottisiere oven, but I've baked many chickens before...I use this contraption thing where you stick the chicken over it and the chicken sits up....cooks it well. I usually marinate my chicken overnight with spices, seasoned salt etc and it turns out quite well. Have never used the injector thingie. Let us know how it comes out!! We bought an upright smoker this summer...charcoal...and we love it. We've smoked brisket, chicken and a roast....all came out really well. Can you tell I love to cook? The paleo nutrition challenge thing is going to be hard! |

Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm looking forward to cooking a lot more... just with more veggies. ![]() We're doing the black-eyed peas thing today too! Zee, we'll make you an honorary northerner. I'll also steal all your tips for tri-ing in the heat, since I'm in Louisville at the end of August... where I'm told it can be 95 degrees on race day. Given that we might hit 95 for 5 minutes on the hottest day of the year here, training for the weather is going to be a challenge. Happy New Year, everybody! I was so surprised and happy to see so many people out there already kicking butt on January 1. Heather |
