Love the look of that bamboo bike.  They have all sorts of models too, road, tri, mtn, cross...  Nice.  Anyone seen a suggested retail price on those bad boys?

That bike would be even hawter in pink.  Nice.

Good morning team!!! I'm looking forward to a whole month of running! Shall we do some introductions? I already know a lot of you from the WCP&Ts thread, but those that don't know me, I am 29 years old tomorrow and I live in Western Australia. I'm married with no kids, only fur kids! I have a cat & a dog. My life mainly consists of trying to find a healthy work/ exercise/ rest balance, but despite my best efforts I usually end up burning the candle at both ends!!! I work long days so I do most of my training in the mornings before work, except on weekend when I can get up a little later. Currently I am trying to balance work, exercise, home renovations (currently we're repainting the whole house, then we'll be putting in new floors) and rehersals for a play I'm in that's finally going to happen next week.    

Looking fwd to meeting you all!

I ran 4.6km yesterday, so I've completed 5% of this month's goal, woo hoo!

Slugger - 2008-10-02 2:34 AM I'm starting off this challenge with a bang! It was a gloriously stormy and dark morning, so I scrapped the laundry and running plans and curled up with a book and some Kahlua in chocolate milk (which is called a Mexican something or other) and snuggled into my wonderful new furniture. I :heart: storms very, very much. Almost as much as I :heart: fall. October in particular. I will run tomorrow, promise.

Introductions!!  Ok then...

My name is Mila.  It's pronounced MY-la.  Not Mee-lah.  Say it with me "Mila"!

I live under my tiara in a beautiful castle in HOTlanta and like to do princessy things like get manicures and pedicures and kiss frogs.  I enjoy the color pink.  A lot.  I also like to ride my bike.  A lot. 

I have three jobs in addition to my royal duties.  The first one is that I'm the curator for a few very precious exhibits.  I also own my own business where I get to put the smack down on schools that don't program appropriately for kids, particularly those with special needs.  The third job is my "fun" one.  I'm the second in command for group fitness at a fancy schmancy health club.  I also oversee both the indoor and outdoor cycling programs for all of the club's locations in GA.  I teach studio cycle classes as well as lead outdoor rides.  So basically, I get paid to ride my bike... which I like.  A lot.

Running is sometimes difficult for me because I have an illness that is unpredictable and can often affect my joints among many other things.  Therefore, you'll see that I'll log my October running in a variety of different ways (Woodway treadmill/elliptical/actual slogging/aqua jogging).

Most importantly, I do not like to not win challenges.  No really, I mean it.  Well, let me rephrase that... I've never been on a challenge team that hasn't won.  And this one will be no different.  I'm glad we cleared that up.  .

They are definitely cool but I've not been able to find a price. It may fall into the category of bike I like to call "if you have to ask how much, Mila, you can't afford it..."

Offthegrid - 2008-10-02 8:59 AM Well, after much cursing, hair-pulling diligent research (actually I just finally smartened up enough to hit the "help link" I figured out that the temporary internet files were interferring with my avatar change. Hence, my new pic. <<< --- and it pretty accurately describes my mood today. I promise to be in a happier mood tomorrow over the weekend.

Offthegrid - 2008-10-02 11:29 AM Almost time for my weekly dreadful yoga class. It's taught by the skinniest man I've ever seen. His upper arms are the diameter of my forearm. The entire time I want to get out of my pose and feed him. Meanwhile, he's talking about the heart center. Too bad such torture can't count in the challenge.
