They Who Shall Not Be Named (Twisnibbins) VII (Page 49)

Ohhhh... at my swim meets we just ate jello from the box... with our fingers... that then turned the color of the jello, of course... which was nice, cause then they matched our tongues.

Why are you all on the floor laughing?  Yes, I WAS, in fact, once on a swim team.  I had to be.  My father said if I wanted that red bikini I had to jump off the high dive and be on the swim team.  No wonder I have such a swimming aversion... forced swimming at an early age...

I don't remember much about it other than the jello thing and piling into our coach's van to go to McDonald's or Roy Rogers after meets... all eleventy billion of us crammed in there like sardines.  Ahhhh... those were the days before seat belt laws and whatnot .

Unless it is Captain Crunch or Sugar Pops. I looooovvvve those two. They are deadly.

D001 - 2007-12-10 11:37 AM Lots of people want you! (Let's start with Pat, for example.... Hehe. I couldn't resist saying that....) I think you'd be a great mentor. I went with Medic, because he's about 2 hours from me. It's about time that I started meeting some "local" people. That said, the rest of the people joining are NOT from North Carolina. LOL

I used to love Sugar Pops! Hm, don't think I've ever tried Cap'n Crunch though.

D001 - 2007-12-10 11:52 AM Heh. I just left an inspires for Beth, congratulating her on running the January challenge. LOL Actually, I wouldn't mind doing what you and Donto are doing this month.... Splitting it up was a good idea. I wouldn't mind handling a PORTION of the challenge. I'm just worried that I won't have time to run the whole thing again.

Well I think Pat wanting me is something different all together!

I highly recommend the peanut butter Cap'n Crunch. Crunchy little peanut butter flavored barrels guaranteed to bring on that sugar high!

kns57 - 2007-12-09 8:22 PM



No I like the original

Nice new avatar, Kendra.

barqhead - 2007-12-10 12:25 PM My son is kicking me off the computer so he can play on Webkinz. See ya.

barqhead - 2007-12-10 12:21 PM I'd be in your group. Who better to lead an injured triathlete than an injured triathlete?!

kaqphin - 2007-12-09 8:21 PM

Id be up for that Dee... although Im gonna take at least a month off challenges next month I think unless there is something super awesome planned...

kaqphin - 2007-12-09 7:32 PM

I like how you think:

So strengths: injury rehab and overcoming illness, a positive attitude, on the weight loss train, swimming (used to help teach little kids to swim), love cycling although not and expert and LOVE to help beginners in any way I can

 

hmm maybe I CAN do this!

D001 - 2007-12-10 12:36 PM You can do this. It's not a "maybe." You can.

Aaaw Dee and her pep talks!

kaqphin - 2007-12-09 8:42 PM

Oh I told Pat he should come say hi to us all here... not sure if it will happen but since we have been talking about him it seems only fair!!!

All good stuff Pat... (you know I want yuo)

D001 - 2007-12-10 12:44 PM I dunno. We could always do another "your choice" challenge. But if I run it, I'd limit the number of goals people can pick. Maybe just do ONE goal. And it would have to be reported in time/distance/repetitions only. Last month, people had 5 goals, and it took a lot of time to sort it all out. Especially since some of the goals were things like "take 40 seconds off my run time."

What about New Years... pick a focus type thing... but stick to Swim/Bike/Run?

D001 - 2007-12-10 12:48 PM Hm. Oct was run. Nov was "choice." Dec is swim.... So we could do a bike challenge in January.... With results in time/distance.
