Doing ok on the swim portion of my challenge, going to have to pick up the bike.  Some dry weather would be nice.  Of course, I guess I can get on the trainer and watch Game 5 Laughing

Had a fantastic run early this morning.  Love the elusive ones that are amazing when they happen.

I need some BT help challenge folks.  I am not getting any younger and at times I question my insane desire to ride my bike all of the time and I am looking for a little downtime time filler.

I am not artistic but would love to draw some of the scenery I saw last couple of weeks on my west coast bike ride.

I do love to take pictures but that has always been wrapped up with my training and travel.

Anyone have any suggestions as to the easiest way to start drawing - charcoal and paper/water colors/etc???

I discussed knitting classes with some ladies from church and they didn't have any faith that I could handle the pace.  Cake decorating came up but they feared I would eat all the cake and not have anything to decorate.  Those 2 are out.

Maybe take my DD camera away that we bought her last year and start doing that more specified?

Thanks in advance

Drawing: I personally am a big fan of pencil drawing (non-colored, mainly, but if you want color, buy colored pencils! ) using just paper, a good eraser, smudge tool, and various pencils of varying graphite hardness. But different strokes for different folks...(there is a little pun in there...)  Check around your local hobby/art stores like A.C.Moore, Michael's, whoever.  Sometimes they offer art classes.

Photography: LOVE it.  I just don't have enough time to do much with the shots I take after the fact.  But the main thrill for me is to find just the right subject/shot and capture it.  Again, check around for local photography classes if you don't already have a background in the art.  Or find a good book.  Classes are more fun and you can pick more tidbits up from other folks, too.

Good luck and have fun with your new hobby!

Can't help you with drawing.  If you take up cake decorating and eat all the cake all the time, then maybe that would give you more incentive to get on your bike to keep the pounds at bay. Wink

I happen to be a crocheter and quilter in my spare time.  (Spare time has been lacking lately.)

I did a tempo run on the treadmill today.  I really dislike doing tempo pace on the tready.  It doesn't let you slow down!  You have to remain honest about your pace!

Did a long hill run yesterday, and just finished a short run for this evening.

Finally getting a bike fit tomorrow morning, so hopefully I'll be a little more comfortable on my bike and can get out for some rides, soon!

doing good on my run and swim goal but find it hard to get long bike rides in during the week. Guess they will have to wait for the weekend.

Ask Tinkerbeth. She's taking drawing classes.

I like the cake decorating idea. Your challenge goal will be to only eat half of what you decorate, and send the other half to us.
