Hi gang. very busy the last little while. Just finished the first couple of days of my personal trainer certification program. WOW what a huge amount of new information I have. Go ahead just ask me anything   OK just joking but this is extremely interesting.

Havin'Fun - 2010-11-07 7:32 PM OMG, between football and a swim meet I have been gone all day.  I just got home and "for fun" decided to log in and see for myself that IMFL had sold out (my plan is to sign up next year for '12).  If it was sold out then it was fate that has me waiting another year.  Damn, now I am really torn.  I was really ok waiting until 2012...that was when I was sure it would sell out while I was busy doing kid stuff today.

Congrats Barry and Chris for registering.  I will be there - either to  race with you or to cheer you guys on & register.

Oh, what to do what to do.

Edited to add:  IT'S NOT SOLD OUT - hence my dilema

Just saw your post...  So any exciting news??  Are you in for 2011??  I wish I had seen it last night, Barry and I could have shamed you into it if you didn't.

DougRob - 2010-11-05 2:52 PM Just got back from my 2nd PT session. She got my hip aligned this visit. She thought it would take 3 or 4. MY left leg is about 1/2 inch shorter than my right.

She then had me do a balance test. I stood on one leg on a Bonsu (Sic) ball and then bent my knee. Talk about humbling! My leg was shaking! Turns out my instablity is from my feet and ankles (Surprise NOT) and I have god strngth in my hips. She gave me an exercise to do every other day for 5-10 reps a shot. There a PITA literally. I also asked if I should continue to do the exercises she gave me last time. Her answer: "For the rest of your life." (sigh)

Anyway I am only allowed to run very limited amounts for now. Basically 2 minute intervals for a mile. We'll reevaluate at my next session. I envy all of you that get to run now.

tahrens - 2010-11-08 7:35 AM Looks like it was an exciting weekend.  Congrats on Barry and Chris for Florida.  Linda will be racing her Triple T in 2011 right?   Then FL in 2012.

John,  sorry to hear about the race but you made the right decision.  If you have any lingering doubts just remember our gymnast MG buddy who was out the year from tripping on a root.  Not worth it.  But I do hope your tummy is feeling better soon.

Stan, craziness about the fireworks.  I saw on the news this morning the Chilian miner who raced with ice bags taped to his knees.  They said he ran every day the entire time he was trapped in the mine.  Wasn't that 70 days? Can you imagine trying to train in those conditions.  He has my complete admiration. What a strong sole.

but apparently weak knees.

Oops, I wasn't refering to his shoes.  Sorry, it's a Monday.  Thanks Linda

I'm just sorry it's a monday.  Just having a bit too much fun on the computer....not getting anything useful done.  Need to go help Jeff pack and send him off to the great white north.

TrevorC - 2010-11-08 1:20 PM So i joined the 20 miler club yesterday.
PSA: Do not eat 4 peices of pizza and a bunch of other crap the night before. Michelle had to pull my leash pretty hard after 10 miles or so.

Nice job Trevor!  I found my best pre race meal is brats, bacon wrapped jalapenos, and beer.  Works wonders for sprint tri's.
