Okay, I beg for forgiveness today. Please, no tazer. I have caught a stomach bug from my 16 month old. Actually she gave it to my 3 year old who gave it to me. Unless running to the bathroom every five minutes counts as one of my running goals, I will not be adding to my session count. Soo...I'm off...you know where?!?!?

Oh yuck. I x2 that stomach bugs are nash-tah. Rest up, take care, then out-run the runs... LOL!

jrcody - 2008-09-08 10:55 PMGood Morning All,Well it looks like I will not be coming back to the states tomorrow. It seems the Air Force wants me to go to Afganistan tomorrow for at least the next 10 days and then I might be able to go back to CA. So I will see if I can get some runs while I am there but I do not think that I am going to be able to get the rest of my swims in. But; no worries I will try to get them in ......
Grrr, so sorry you are are delayed coming home. I am sure your family is disappointed too. Stay safe and enjoy Afganistan??? (Not sure thats possible)

I had a killer training day yesterday.  I got strength training, biking, swimming, more biking.  It was a good day!  Today, sore throat.  Sucks to be me.  Oh well, never fear, I will still run this afternoon!  I feel better knowing that I am caught up in my goals. 

I'm looking to get a mountain bike.  Anyone have any recommendations?  Going to the LBS this morning.

Budget?  I don't want to break the bank.  I'm thinking $600 max.  I'm not looking to race but I love trail riding.  I'd like to spend the fall/early winter on the trails.  I'm a beginner but don't want a real basic bike that I will have to upgrade in the near future.

I bought a Giant MTB last year and absolutely love it. I paid $600 for it. It has been my only MTB to date, and I can say with confidence that it performed well on the trails.

I would also recommend a Giant.  It doesn't come in hot pink (yeah, I really do have a hot pink MTB) but they are good value for the money, IMHO.  Boy Toy has one and likes it a lot.  He bought it end of season a few years ago and got a great deal.

Ive gpt a Trek MTB and if you go with a a well known brand name you cannot really go wrong in terms of getting something that will do the job. 

Another option is to see what is available second hand as you can generally get a better spec'd bike if you go this option but a visual inspection always helps in the this casxe to check for rust and damage... no point going this way if you are going to end up spending a lot in repairs..

Thanks guys.  I rode a few Specialized and a Trek today.  The Trek just didn't fit.  I guess I am not made of Trek's, I couldn't get a good fit on a roadie either.  I fell in love with the Specialized Hardrock Sport.  I was planning on spending a bit more but loved this bike.  I can always upgrade later!  I am so glad I went and rode at the LBS, I thought I would have been a 17 but ended up with the 19.  17 was way too small.  Just another reason to support your LBS and not buy online.

If you love the and are going to love it go for it! Specialized make great bikes so you will have no dramas with it (and - totally superficcialy I think some of their bikes are right up there on the looks department... so important dont you think?)

In terms of upgrades...well depending on what the bike comes with there is always shoes/pedals, tubes, portable pump, pretty blue bar tape to match the bike and even an upgrade of the group set if you really wanted to go nuts... 

As long as the frame is solid you can play with the rest all you like...  and the possibilities are endless!

Bleh! That's not happy news.

But, you've gotta do what you've gotta do....

As for the challenge, we can revise your goals if needed.

Or - we can just taser Blake for every workout that you don't do.

D001 - 2008-09-09 9:58 AM Dear Team, Cat is wearing FISHNETS today. Just thought you all should know. Your pal, Dee

Aaaw thanks Dee.... making sure EVERY ONE knows this fact is really going to help with my image... not sure if it helps with motivation though...

Um, well. You could promise to show them your fishnets. (Provided you don't lose them in the bathtub again.) That would be motivating for some of our team members. (Not all, but some.) OR, you could threaten them by saying that you WON"T show your fishnets if they don't meet their goals... It's all about positive, or negative, rewards.

And i guess fishnets would go well with my whip....

Yup, fishnets and whips go together. All you need is a pole now. LOL

LOL - someone would have to offer an incredible incentive for that to happen!

Would everyone meeting 110% of their goals be good enough??

hmm... how exactly do yuo imagine this playing out?



Everyone? Sorry, but Cat's fishnets just aren't the "proper" motivation for me.

Actually, I'm sure if Dee calls the Air Force and explains the situation and the importance of me winning your participation in this challenge they'll send you back immediately. She's very persuasive ).



Just called 'em and left a message.

Should I wait by the phone until they call back?

Hello my lovelies...

Today I:

1.  Swam
2.  Did something that's a distant relative of running
3.  Taught a class
4.  Missed the saddle so much that I was back in it before dinner...

3 hours of training... and I have to get up at the crack of stupid tomorrow.  Put a fork in me.
