Man the village has been rockin the past couple of days.

Just wanted to share that I just finished my 2nd half marathon of the month. I wasn't even sure if 1 was going to be possible since I "ran" only 4 miles last month.

That's great to hear Neal. I hope the hip behaves for you - you're gonna need it this summer! Take care, and keep healing.

So its bedtime...Def feeling some chest congestion and scratchy throat...I will win this battle for my immune system...somehow...I've loaded myself up with vit c and healthy food, lots of fluids and now lots of sleep...woooooo

did a pretty hcore swim tonight...had to do 5x100m IM fast @ 3min...got down to a 1:24...it was rough...my body HATES me right now

Oh well...What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger right? I remember when 1:24 was relatively easy...oh to be back then...mind you I couldnt run or bike really back then...gotta give a little somewhere I guess?

Ummm...so right now it looks like im at about 70km for run, 33km for swim and who knows for biking cause I've been on a trainer...HCORE!! so I should hit my largest run mileage ever! Even with swimming and biking this month...October was solely running more or less...HCORE is my middle name!

Have a good one...talk to you all tomorrow...BEDTIME!

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

I'm glad your EMG didn't hurt Bill.

My first one was so painful it made me sick. The person doing it had problems getting the needles into my hands. One time she tried 5 times to get the needle in my hand in the fatty part below my thumb. She kept saying how tough my hands were. When she did get it in she had to grind it around a bit to get it to the place she wanted it. She also had to try 2-4 times to get the needle in each finger tip. Not enjoyable at all.

My second one, which was about a year and a half ago, the doc would get the needle in then move it all around inside my hand, shocking me to see if he had it where he wanted it. That one wasn't as bad as the first but still painful.

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!!!

did you say 350?? in the AM???? WOW! Early but very impressive!

Um, yes Jules, I have started some of my days at 3:50 in the AM so I can do yoga before I get ready for work.

You can have the extra hours of sleep back, Melindy, I didn't use them last night so they are yours. Thanks for the ones the other night though!

Tom - I was thinking. I need a change of scenery, so if you have to go to RI I'll go in your place. I'll take real good notes and send them to you nightly. Just so I can be prepared, what kind of training am I going to?

Neal - Can I ask how you got into Escape from Alcatraz?

When my sister and her family lived in CA, my nephew knew that I had started going triathlons. He called me one day and said he heard people talking about Escape from Alcatraz and he wanted me to come do it. Um... thanks big guy! Unfortunatly I was unable to fit it into my schedule when they were there.

They do a lottery every year now. You basically have to fill out an application for the lottery, which includes writing down recent races and finishing times. I'm not sure if this actually is to weed out beginners or weak swimmers or not. Then they hold a drawing and select a random number of people from those that submitted an application. I believe they hold a second drawing (from those applicants that weren't picked the first time around) after registration closes for the first wave to give out the rest of the empty slots.

Then how the h3ll do you expect to get a t-shirt?

I already gave my extra miles to Jules. Unless you can find someone else to take pity on you you're in trouble mister!

Morning all. Bill, I am glad you got a diagnosis. Nerve damage sucks. But it is amazing how your body can compensate. I have proof.
I don't have an opinion on the doc. I sent one a bill one time for my time because I waited for 2 hours but haven't not paid for a diagnosis, even if rushed. However, It ain't right to be a slacker especially if you are a professional.

I have 2 1/2 M for the month.. I'll send you some miles. They aren't free, though.

Later folks. off to the Dr for me, too.

Ohhh - I didn't know there were parameters. I was gone when you guys put this together remember.

I supposed I could go and run 2 miles Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but I don't see that happening.

Excuses have a 0 meter maximum effective range.

Robin has graciously willing to SELL you some miles though. So if we all work this out right YOU will be sending ME the bottle of wine from ROBIN.
