Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 416)

Thank you!

That is all. I'm going outside now

Sounds like everyone has had a good weekend!  Congrats to all our racers

We had my niece and nephews sleep over on Sat night and went to the Aquarium yesterday.  They are having a jellyfish exhibit right now, so cool.  Then my bro and sis in law and my mom came over for a 'relaxed' Thanksgiving dinner--no body cooked, we just picked up some roast chickens and made a salad. 

Today I needed a home day and it was tough to get out the door to get my long run in.  I had mapped out an out and back, but didn't even get to the first turn before I switched to a loop that kept home in the center.  I just needed to know that home wasn't too far away.  I'm such a weirdo...

Whew!! You had me scared there for a minute.   Thanksgiving, already?  I'm missing some time here.     Then I remembered you are Canadian.

Carry on....   

Forgot aboot the Canadian T-giving - sounds like you had a great one!

Guess I need to go shopping.

We like to spread our holidays out a bit.  Makes that long Canadian winter bearable...

Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian Manatees!!

Updates on me:

-Met with my ortho doc this morning.  He thinks it's healed.  I'm cleared to bike on the trainer and swim without a pull buoy.  If that goes well for a couple weeks, I can try the elliptical and walking on the treadmill.  If *that* goes well, I can try run/walk on the treadmill.

-My job interview is Thursday!  I leave tomorrow afternoon.  Really really nervous!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!  Good, good luck

Fantastic news for the fx!  And you are going to be AWESOME in that interview!!!

Yay for Canadian Thanksgiving... and the fact that I now get two turkey dinners each year.   

Yikes!! What the heck did you do to yourself??? 

This is troublesome. Please take care of yourself.

My mind worries about all sorts of things when I hear radiating pain around the shoulder chest area.  Keep us posted please. xo.

Where is Ben???

I know the "want to hammer the bike" feeling, but I can tell you now that I paid for it on that run.  Try, try to resist and think of the big picture.  If you're feeling really fresh at mile 8 of the run, you can make sure you go hard and get it all outta your system ;)  (Now I'm gonna go print this off and put it on my mirror so that I can tell myself that).

I'm pretty sure when I sign up for my first IM (if I ever do one), I will be a little nervous every day--from sign up to race day.  The known unknowns and the unknown unknowns!

JT can wear whateverthehell he wants.  Or wear nothing.  I won't judge ;)

That is pretty cool.  I admit, I'm jealous.

I had to get my suit pants hemmed (yes, I bought a suit!).  Everyone was in love with my Fluevogs.  If I get a job, I think I need a celebratory pair once I get my first check.  

Yay for no cold! I know the feeling

Nerves for May...is Austin your last big race before IM? That might be helping the fuel the feeling.

I don't know what your zones are, but I'd say stick to your plan on the bike and then put your "extra" energy into finishing strong on the run. (my little sprint-azz $.02)

Hoping it all goes well and you are 100%!

Good vibes for the interview!!
