3 hours of self reflection?  Isn't that what a good long ride or run is for?

Forever Strong - Awesome movie and I don't know anything about Rugby.  Good if you have kids and they should watch it.  At our Basketball Team year end party I am going to show this on the big screen at our church for the kids to watch.

Step Brothers - Korny and not for children at all (at least mine ).  Reminded me of Telladega Nights.

Serendipity - I luv this movie for some strange reason.  I always have and watch it whenever I have a chance.  Guess I am romantic somewhere deep inside my body

Mystery Alaska - Cool movie if you like hockey and small towns and good stories.

mndymond - 2010-01-27 2:37 PM Ahh...so I have decided to forego lectures today in favor of learning in the small group rooms...becuase the lecturer was too distracting...and I wasnt focused...so I'm learning on my own with another guy...its working out well for us..haha

What exactly are you studying? A refresher course in anatomy perhaps?

mndymond - 2010-01-27 3:54 PM

You too Ann!?

Haha...I guess it did come off like that...haha

wgraves7582 - 2010-01-27 4:50 PM You ladies are wimps - EMG did not hurt at all.  The tech was impressed I was not complaining.  So I must be nerve dead or tough

Good morning everyone!

I had a big, at least for me anyway, weekend in the pool. I think I started a bad habit though. On Saturday I had some serious issues with taking in a lot of water through my nose, so Sunday I wore nose plugs. I felt better, but I'm not sure it's something I should be doing or not.

I've also started doing some yoga. I got up at 0350 this morning to get in a 20 minute yoga program before I jumped in the shower. I didn't sleep well at all last night so this may not have been the best of ideas. I'm also not very bendy

Have a slam dunk day everyone!!!

Jules - you are great!

It was actually E

ironannekidd - 2010-01-25 8:56 AM I don't like seeing our thread so low down on the page. We were like 5 or 6. No no, we're # 1!

So I've decided to throw out there what I have in mind for the warm weather challenge.

I'm thinking by April it should be warming up a bit, and everyone should be in full swing training for the upcoming season.

My proposal is The Ghoulies Do an Ironman! Or how many can you do in a month. I'm thinking I can pull one off a week by April. Swim 2.4 miles in a week, bike 112 miles a week, run 26.2 miles in a week, or in two weeks, or a month, whatever it takes you.

What say you Ghoulies?

ironannekidd - 2010-01-25 11:22 AM Just to keep track...

Weight loss challenge in February

Need to come up with a challenge for March

Ironman challenge in April

Is this correct? Who has a suggestion for March?

ironannekidd - 2010-01-26 5:15 AM Question for THE VILLAGE, although I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.

I got an email about ordering photos from the RNR HM. You can only really see me in one of the pictures, and I'm make a V with my fingers, for THE BEST VILLAGE of course. Should I order the picture?

skrtrnr - 2010-01-26 5:15 AM MORNING GHOULIES.

just buzzing through real quick.


im heading out to a different Y on the other side of town, meeting up with some new tri friends.  one i've met in person (the ultramarathoner that was in the car accident, remember her incredible story?) and another friend whom i only 'know' via FB.

we've been trying to connect for weeks, and its finally gonna happen today, IN THE POOL.  WOOT!



life is moving forward. 

and though it might sound strange especially at a time like this but ive been overflowing with gratitude.

not that there hasnt been moments/days that have been difficult.

but inthemidst ive come to realize how surrounded i am, and how loved i am.


we have just a little over 30 days until my husband moves into his new home.


and though the 'delay' has been trying for me, its been good for the boys who are starting the process of accepting their new reality.

not that there havent been tears and questions and anger....all to be expected.

they understand that all though some things will changes, a lot will stay the same for them.


i AM grateful for a man who is willing above all else to put his children first.  who still sees his family as his priority.

though it didnt work out in terms of our relationship, i did marry well.

we've remained amicable these many weeks and i expect that will continue.  theres no need for anymore pain.



my tri training has begun in earnest, though...its been more of a gradual slide into the routine rather than bounding.

im still dealing w hip/IT band issues, not enough to keep from doing anything, but just enough that its annoying.

the cold laser which would've taken care of it in a snap was down.

the upside they got a new machine that has some xtra features.

im sure once i've had a few more treatments, all the discomfort will be gone.

were just playing catch up right now.



ill be back through for certain.

know that i often 'lurk' and read all about the happenings in the VILLAGE.

your QUEEN,
stacieb

ironannekidd - 2010-01-26 5:31 AM Update everyone - Right now I am working with 2 different companies trying to get the best deal for our shirts.

If you haven't sent me your address yet, please do so. I can track you down and stalk you across the internet, but I'd rather not I would rather spend that time engaged in a physcial activity, or napping.

For those of you who do not know yet. The shirts are on me. THE VILLAGE has had a rough January and this is just a little something that I want to do for all of you!

ironannekidd - 2010-01-26 8:13 AM My dream is of a time and a place where I no longer have to attend useless meetings.
