Veteran  940    Citrus Heights, CA |  Subject: RE: Mucho Mental Manatee Mentors--CLOSED (Pop Tarts?)Hi EVERYONE!!! btw...I found something awesome:
In other news, due to ongoing health ickiness (my own, and nothing new, just same ol' growing older and being female BS)and an interest in improving my training/racing, I have decided that my fitness (training) will be my primary focus for 2014 (starting NOW)--My money stuff, school, and work are done with, or at least in a reliable working pattern, so I can work on the training more than anything. For starters, I dropped 24 Hour Fitness (like the classes and the variety of equipment, hate the pool, hate the crowds, HATE the lack of parking at the one closest to me--which isn't too close), and have joined with Planet Fitness (literally down the street and around the corner!), and have managed to save $10 per month in dues--AND with my membership, the hubby can go too "as my guest" every day that I go --for free. Nice little perk, its like 2 for 1. Downside--they have no pool---other upside--There is an indoor pool place, 'the Swimstitute', that has a full size pool in which I can drop in for lap swimming (unlimited time) for $10 a session. No matter what--A much bigger pool, as well as a CLEANER pool that doesn't get over crowded like 24 Hour.... So I did my workout tonight, a little 1 mile run--well, I told myself I ONLY needed to go for a mile, but if I wanted to do a bit more, I could--so did 30 minutes on the treadmill--slowly, but got 2.1 miles in. I am happy with that. I am starting from square one and plan on taking it slowly and surely to improve my fitness. Both parents are doing mostly well--Dad is amazing his cardio-physical-therapy people with his mad athletic talents (we tend to have sort of an naturally good baseline fitness in this family)---admittedly, back in the day, my dad (Looooooong before I was born) was actually breaking records in track and field--had a truck not fallen on his leg (seriously, it did.), he would have most likely broken the Olympic record in the Long Jump. He was training for the Olympic trials when the truck got him. He is still battling circulatory issues in his feet, thanks to the diabetes, but his heart is happy right now. Mom is doing pretty good overall; she has lost her hair now, but apart from that, she has no other side effects from the chemo. I am super happy for her on that! In fact, she is keeping busy by bugging Dad about home improvement projects again---obviously she is feeling better than she was! |
MANATEE SOCKS!!!!! Oh yes, some people may be recipients of this greatness....or of some of the other varieties I saw.| 2013-12-06 6:05 AM in reply to: 0 |
Member 2098 Simsbury, Connecticut | Subject: RE: Mucho Mental Manatee Mentors--CLOSED (Pop Tarts?) Kate that is all awesome news. Glad to hear the 'rents are both doing well and you are back on track  Things have been too quiet here these days. Where are the rabble rousers to stir things up? Well it's not me - I have nothing of significance to report. Work has been busy and the weekends are spent trying to find the nieces and nephews the perfect holiday gifts so we can retain our titles as "favorite aunt and uncle."

That's brill news and to help you (and myself and others) with consistent training, I'm looking at setting up a team on Janttastic. Jantastic is a free thing put on each year by Marathon Talk, the pod cast people, and is a really good motivational tool for getting us peeps out in the crap weather of the Northern Hemisphere when we wouldn't normally want to go. Basically, step one starts on January the 6 th. Prior to this, you need to sign up to the site, and join a team ( preferably my team). You the have to declare how many runs you will complete each week for the next four weeks and record them on the site at the end of each week. Ou must commit to do at least 3 runs to qualify, and runs must be 1 mile or more. It doesn't matter if you're walking or running. Step two. Ou must do the same as the 1st four weeks, but now you must also predict how many miles your long run each week will be, and record that also. Step three. The final four weeks, you must do the same as before, but must also predict a race time you will complete to the nearest second. Whether the race is 1 mile to an ultra marathon, it doesn't matter. It also doesn't have to be an official race, it could just be a local training run you use. Warning, you will be penalised for running faster/slower than your predicted race pace, but then, if you're on for a PR, who gives a fach This really helped me get out the door last year when we had really atrocious weather and I'm also pretty rubbish at consistency, I think it could benefit us all in one way or another and is perfect for a spring race build up. So, what do you say? Are you in? I haven't set up a team yet. I wanted to guage interest before doing so. Let me know if this interests you and I'll set it up. Oh, and as an incentive, there are random spot prizes given at the end of each four week segment to those that have recorded the perquisite runs for that stage. There's also a big random prize at the end of it all. Last year, this was an all expenses paid VIP entry to London Marathon staying at the Towers Hotel where all the elite athletes stayed. That would be nice Here's the site, as I said, let me know, because I had no one join the manic mile team I set up, and if no one wants to do it, I can jump in with another team.

I probably should start thinking about buying Xmas gifts sometime soon though or I could lose the title. Actually, there's no way I could lose the title, so never mind |

Kate - how timely that you checked in with the manatees, I was thinking heavily about you and your parents yesterday, hoping things were OK with you and them. Glad to hear it is! Those socks rock, BTW! Darren - I love the idea! If I can get my hamstring back into a happy place I'd love to join your team, but I will wait to see how things go. I had just embarked on a Thanksgiving through Christmas 1 mile a day challenge but only made it to day 5 when I hurt my leg at TKD. |

Looking forward to the end of semester when I have some time to relax! Speaking of relaxing...My Bro and SIL have been thinking about taking their 3 kids to Disneyland again (they went a few years back). They have been talking about it for a few months and decided to go in Feb. Then they thought "kids aren't going to be non-sullen non-teenagers forever" and maybe we should have a family holiday. Soooooooo, mom, me, and their 5 are all going! So fun. K is in Singapore visiting family until the day after we leave, unfortunately, but is looking into meeting us there, which would be amazing! I am excited I LOVE DISNEYLAND and I won't look like such an idiot acting like a child if I have some with me this time Hope everyone is staying warm and safe! |

So, with Disney in mind, I have to ask who has done any of the Marathon weekend stuff? I've done the Half a few years back with my sister and am harboring a goal of the full there someday. It isn't a fast course, which is right up my alley, because I am not fast either. |

I've also done Expedition Everest 2x and the ESPN 5k. You are right, it is not a fast course - it has too many runners on a too narrow and twisting course to be fast, but it is an experience probably unlike any other race. Where else do people stop (and in the case of the castle, stop) to have their pictures taken? |

Work is crazy (5 hours doing practical exams with students yesterday...), I am back on the Calculus train and spare time is spent with my sweetie. Looking forward to the end of semester when I have some time to relax! Speaking of relaxing...My Bro and SIL have been thinking about taking their 3 kids to Disneyland again (they went a few years back). They have been talking about it for a few months and decided to go in Feb. Then they thought "kids aren't going to be non-sullen non-teenagers forever" and maybe we should have a family holiday. Soooooooo, mom, me, and their 5 are all going! So fun. K is in Singapore visiting family until the day after we leave, unfortunately, but is looking into meeting us there, which would be amazing! I am excited I LOVE DISNEYLAND and I won't look like such an idiot acting like a child if I have some with me this time Hope everyone is staying warm and safe! Kirsten, I knew you were cooler than the average Canuck! TW and I are huge Disnoids. We are finally getting a Christmas trip there again this year. Just a few short days, but it'll be well worth it. We both need a break, and it is so enjoyable this time of year. February will be awesome for you, not too hot, and probably not too crowded. I hope K can meet up with ya'll. So, with Disney in mind, I have to ask who has done any of the Marathon weekend stuff? I've done the Half a few years back with my sister and am harboring a goal of the full there someday. It isn't a fast course, which is right up my alley, because I am not fast either. That was my first half marathon. January 2010 in the sleet. What an experience! The only thing that I didn't like was the Christmas music in the parks. In January. |

Sleet hitting your face when you run is not fun, but it was better than the rain that came as it "warmed" up.Originally posted by cdban66 Originally posted by bcraht Goooooooooo Manatees!
