Ghoulie eliptical v ST November challenge (Page 48)

aspeelma - 2009-11-12 12:54 PM GHOULIES!!!!! I just heard from our long lost sister JULES!

She has been busy lately, but is wondering if it is too late to join our challenge. I think once a ghoulie always a ghoulie, plus adding her would just give me one more person to beat in the challenge.

What say you team?

I tell my kids all the time they are going to regret not wanting to take swim lessons - I would pay for them all forever.  Great workout, great way to get a scholarship, and a great exercise to be good at if you ever want to do triathlons.

They just say no they know how to swim just fine.  OK whatever!

OK, I'm back. That was a tough run. Not sure why, but I just didn't feel like I had much in the tank. Still, I think I did an OK job of "tempo-ing" it and even though the hill at mile 3 REALLY slowed me down I pushed as hard as I could through it and still had enough for a hard 1/2 mile downhill push on the home stretch.

I think what really did me in was that it's a lot more humid here today than usual so I was a bit overheated. I even had to take off the t-shirt and expose my poor neighbors to my distinctly Scandinavian torso complection. Hopefully noone got too blinded. Fortunately I was able to cool down fairly quickly once I got my hands on some water thanks to our discussions from last month

I definitely thought of you guys when I was pushing up that hill though, between all of your nagging injuries, ailing familyies, crappy weather, and all the other obstacles faced by the Ghoulie nation. Talking to you guys makes me very thankful for the good things I'm able to experience every day. Thanks a million Ghoulies...

Races around here? Let's see...

-Mar 6 - Scavenger Dash San Diego: "Urban Adventure Race" in downtown San Diego. You have to sign up in teams of 2. Looks pretty fun.

-Mar 7 - Union Tribune Race for Literacy 8k: I ran this one last year. It's a really nice course from Balboa Park into downtown. It finished at a park and had some seriously good schwag for a 5 mile race. The free breadsticks from Pat and Oscars come to mind...

-Mar 7 - Desert International and Sprint Triathlons in La Quinta, CA: It's a ways from the SD area, but I've heard a lot of good things about this race.

-Mar 7 - UCLA IronBruin Triathlon: Sprint course on the UCLA campus.

-Mar 14 - XTERRA Black Mountain Trail Run: 5k or 15k or you're feeling frisky enough for the hills I just checked the site (via active.com) and they both finish with a pretty nasty climb.

-Mar 20 - Pasadena Triathlon: Super Sprint (150m swim, 15k bike, 5k run) in Pasadena.

-Mar 27 - IMCA 70.3: It's probably full, but it still sounds fun. Cool course through North San Diego County.

I'm sure there are more, but that should give you some ideas! Are you planning a trip out this way?
