I haven't sent out the updated rules for the January 31-day challenge rules because I've been a little swamped at work and was feeling gloomy over the weekend.  I'll get them out in a few days, along with the list of everybody I think has signed up.  Should we call it the Salty Challenge since she initiated it?  Or maybe the Manatee Month of Motivational Mayhem? 

Also, if you want to have a goal other than the 10 min./day Salty threw out there for Chris, send me a PM or share it here if you feel like making it public (if you haven't already) and I'll note it in my spreadsheet.

I saw that! 

TJ, I saw that your calf is better but now the foot?!  What's up with that?

The foot is fine. It was just a weird feeling like it wanted to pop. Didn't notice it after I walked home from the park. Contemplating wearing my old PC2's for my 2k tonight. Just wondering if all this mess is coming from the 3's. They're different than the 2's, but not THAT much different.

Whew! I was a bit worried there!

Regarding the shoes, it's hard to say but I'd try the PC2s for the next run or two. In the meantime, try wearing your PC3 for an hour today, two hours tomorrow, etc. -- just doing errands or making dinner or whatever.  When you get to maybe six hours, try running in them again.

You know that I'm a sucker for alliteration!   (no offense Salty!)

Thanks for keeping us all organized and stuff!

You guys, what do you think of my position? The seat's not too high, right?

The bike is fine. The real problem I see is you have no helmet.  Aero helmet is better, but you can NOT be at an event and roll up like that. You will be DQ'd, because helmets are in the rules. Otherwise, you look good to go.

You sure she doesn't have one of these things on?

I guess the fit is ok. Always thought the three wheeled version suit her better though.

Could be, I can't tell from the picture. But is that covered under USAT rules?


isnt your Stack Hat in your basket? That's where mine used to go as soon as I left my mothers vision

Haha you are correct. As you can see my knees barely fit under the handlebars. I have a small head but the likelihood of it fitting in a 6 year old's helmet was slim.

Soooo as several of you noted, it's that most wonderful time of the year. Oh, and also coming up to Janyne's birthday

Do we want to continue in Archives? Do we want fresh Manatee meat? It's usually very succulent. If we open up, when? Sooner, or after the New Year's rush?

I vote for opening it up earlier than 1/1.  That way new Manatees can get in on Salty's Manatee Month of Motivational Mayhem if they want to.

I think that we should open sooner because we have several people that follow along via email and once we are archived, that stops.  What say you?

Good point.

And also, we'll get the cream of the crop, right?  ;-

(see how I left that opening for Darren?)

So, here is an interesting article on the heart and endurance exercises.  I've heard some of this before, but it is still intriguing. 

ETA:  rats, i need to fix the link.

 

ETA: hope this works. If not, you'll just have to take my word that it was interesting!!

Yes!

Crazy morning for me! There was snow on the ground and snow + NM drivers = stoopid so it took a looooong time to drive a short distance. Then when I got near the freeway the car told me I have a low tire! I pulled in to a gas station to check it and they wanted $1 for air. FOR AIR!!!!!!!!!!! I've never needed gas station air before because DH usually takes care of that for me. So after going to a different station, breaking a $20 to get a quarter and standing tin the falling snow, attempting to fill said tire (not even sure which one was low) I gave up and drove to Santa Fe with a low tire light! Whew!

Well they do have to pay for the compressor upkeep.  Even so, what a pain. Glad you made it to Santa Fe safely. 

CO people drive stoopid in the snow too.  Many seem to think that because they have 4-wheel drive and have enough traction to go, they're fine.  What they forget is that they don't have enough traction to stop. You'd think they'd learn.  I, of course, have never fallen prey to that kind of thinking.

No, two pair are out floating in space!. It's ok in a sense that I am not attached to any one pair. But I definitely have some things I would like back.

My stuff is apparently in Denver at the moment. Cross you fingers.

Chris, the real question is what size shoe does Salty wear and what size to Mary wear?  ;-)

Find a mentor. Make a list of at least three people that you could approach for help, list your specific needs and then be courageous enough to begin asking.
