I am still here, everyone!  

Amy, I got a good chuckle with your gift to Billy.

Billy, how is the pizza business going?

Patrick, great race report.  You may not thought the race went as well as it should but hey, you finish to me that is always a great race.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Or Happy Holidays!

Thank you everyone for a great 2012 and I can't wait to see what 2013 will bring us!

Hi every one.  Hope you all had a very merry Christmas and are planning a happy New Year.

I'm enjoying some quiet time around the house this morning to plan my new year.  Not the one day celebration, I'm working out the whole year.  In draft it looks like 4 half marys.  That may be hail mary's.  Oh lets hope the knee is happy,  when my knee is happy I run happy.  Also looking to fit into 2013, three HIM, 2 oly's and a sprint.  While I'm not racing Ironman next year, I've committed to Volunteer at the bike yard and in registration. Oh Canada.......

Hope every one is happy and healthy, and wish you all the best new year.

Best Regards, Mark.

PS: You can count me in for another year of LRR.

Hope everyone is getting ready for a great 2013.  I am also planning next year, main goal is to be more consistent in training which will be required as my ironman is November (Florida, not IMAZ...)  So far a few half marys, still need to fit in a HIM on the way there, probably in the June time frame and then just consistent training.  I actually did more in December than any other month prior to July which I can feel just about everywhere.  I'll be back for next year as well, I had a blast getting to know all of you and reading the posts this year, thanks!

See you in 2013!

Pam

As Bryan said - Oh yeah it was worth.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year!  No pizza yet, still working out the details.  Amy, I never could find your report.  I have no idea what my plans are for this year, but am still following along on everyone else.

Billy

Happy New Year!

I am still here, trying to figure my way around.  I finally found a gym to join in the new hometown, it is about 40 minutes away and that was the closest.  Been trying to get back in the habit of waking up early and getting to the pool before work.  With the 40 minute drive versus the 5 minutes that I had before it means getting up even earlier.  Yuck!

Looking forward to another year of LRR!

Kathy

I'm still trying to figure out my year as well.  No BIG races on the calendar (at least right now), but I do have a few races lined up already, starting with a half marathon next weekend.  It will be slow as I am doing it with my Aunt and her fastest pace so far is a 15 minute mile.  But, it should be fun.

Also doing some fun stuff this year to hopefully move myself in the direction of coaching.  I am doing a YogaFit certification class in January, the Road Runner's Club of America run coach certification in February, and studying for my personal trainer exam.  I'm very excited about it all.  Just hope I can keep up.

Looking forward to having some new folks join the group.

Happy New Year to all.  Count me in for this year.  I have signed up for HIM, Musselman in July.  So excited!!  Will probably do Half marathon and an Oly before, just not sure which ones.  My change for this year is to work out earlier.  I haven't figured out the logistics yet but I am going to when my HIM training officially starts.  This week end may give me some time to start planning my workouts.   For me, I think partnership is key.  I need to meet some one at the gym at the tough, early  hours, accountability.  I hope to be online this week end, so be well, all of you awesome athletes and thank you for your ongoing support this year. 

Hugs!!

That is so cool, Briana!  Are you wanting to be a Triathlon coach or just a personal trainer coach?

My first goal of the year is to get healthy. Its been a crazy 6months at my house. I took 3 1/2 weeks off and my upper hamstring and lower(@the back of my knee) still bothers me. I have an appointment with a chiropractor on tuesday. I have used others before and been really successful. If this doesn't work it maybe a long recover and I can't afford that.

Second is do all my club races '

Third Ragnar ultra in april.

Fourth get on here more!!!!

I am going to just do a bunch of random races along the way. I just want to stay in great shape. I want to do an Ironman next year and Boston.

Just for you Billy.  http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=471525

I'd really like to do run coaching and triathlon coaching, but getting into the USAT Level I Triathlon Coaching Clinic is extremely challenging these days.  They have made it so that you pretty much have to already BE a coach to get accepted.  So, I am going about other avenues of getting certified so that I can get insurance and have the credibility.  Hopefully, I can get some clients and then eventually get accepted into the USAT clinic.  I just want to help people find something they enjoy and help them get/stay fit.

Way to go Briana!  I guess she is our first finish line.

For the ladies in the group...............where do you place your heart rate strap?  When I first started I was wearing it up close to the heart and then last year someone told me to wear it below the sports bra.  Was just curious on where everyone wears theirs. 

Way to go, Bri!!!!

I'm so sorry I've been MIA so much! I'm catching up and will post soon...

Kathy, I have always worn it under the sports bra. DIdn't know there was any other way lol.  Word of the wise (from experience lol), put a lot of Body Glide where you will wear the strap... my worse chafe spots on long runs are from the stupid strap!
