Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 53)

well if you do the pilates......your peachy calendar will remain...just a darker square~

I say do it! hope your ankle is ok~

It is a beautiful day on the central coast of California...I just took a short walk on the beach...grabbed a cup of coffee...went out to see how big the pool is and how warm it was since it was supposed to be heated.......and very disappointed to report it is cold and a u shaped smaller pool...so no swimmy for me~ So, I have my weights for my arms and ankles and will instead head to the gym here at the hotel....then this afternoon my dh and I are planning on riding a few hours.....looks as though we will follow the coastal trail....not sure what that entails....just wanted you guys to know that I am thinking of you and am trying to FOCUS! haha

its HUMP DAY!..........go out and have a great rest of the week....and remember the word of the day/week/month is FOCUS!!!!! do better then me, ok???? ;0

Happy Thursday, gang! No kidlets today or tomorrow as it is professional development and we are sitting through a few workshops on assessment. Will definitely be wanting to move later. Looking forward to my track workout and a pre-run swim.

Hope you're all doing well- enjoying the peach, or walks on the beach, pilates and pedi's or whatever else is on your schedule for the day.

It's the total for 2009 that caught my eye.   I just figured I'd see all this time  piled up and I was just thrown to see so few hours. 

Happy Thursday everyone! Hopefully the knees, ankles and illness are getting better.

I'm still here, just laying low. I'm playing racquetball today and tomorrow. I'll try to run outside this weekend if it's not icy.

Later,

Scot

Hey everyone!  I'm starting a four day weekend today -- very rare.  I plan to get lots of training in, but the weather just may not cooperate.    Keep your fingers crossed that the weather guessers are wrong and we see lots of Florida sunshine.

Happy Friday the 13th ........  I'm off to swim today, with the gal who laps me twice while I am swimming full out freestyle and she is doing that plus sidestroke........ ugh

ran for the first time on a treadmill, did it with encouragement from my friend who is a trainer and my buddy who met me there.  Glad that "first " is over.

I did 2100m swimming this morning, definitely better than my swim at the beginning of the week, but still not quite where it should be. I'm supposed to run and bike this weekend but I'm quite sure how it's gonna shake out around family obligations.

Julie, I know it's hard but try not to compare your swimming to others. Instead, compare it to your previous swim sessions and focus on the positive of your improvement. I just took a look at your last blog entry; just think of swimming through the chop from the other swimmers as great training for open water swimming.

One way to measure how your swimming is coming is to use a tool called swim golf. It might have been mentioned here before.

Essentially you count the strokes to go down and back and add them to total number of seconds. For instance, if it takes 45 strokes and 50 seconds, your score would be 95. It not only measures how fast you are, but also how efficient your stroke is.

i ran yesterday, i found that second mile on my watch, it was 15.something, i can't remember now, and my watch is in the bathroom. i need to get on that satelite thing and make sure i know where my mile marks are, cuz that just doesn't seem quite right.
anyway, i made bran muffins this morning, and i'm gonna eat, and drink my coffee, then i'm going to take pie pie out for a run, so it'll be a 4 mile kind of day for me. then i HAVE to get caught up on laundry today.

made some cookies last night for julee, but they didn't last the night. LOL so i'm making more--actually, i'll wait until sunday night to make them, then i can send them out first thing monday. LOL

Thank you for a new perspective !  I think that is a good idea, and thank you Scot for the golf suggestion.  I still have to count "one two three " then turn and breathe. So when I add stroke count I forget to count my breathing and then get all messed up ! lol

I appreciate the ideas and the encouragement !

what de????????? someone ate my cookies????? thanks for doing that! I look forward to them! I am just getting back from working out at the gym......going for a run on the beach with the dog and then taking a bubble bath and heading to Bakos for the weekend.....I ran almost three miles yesterday and my knee feels fabulous! I think I need to run on softer surfaces....cuz the beach was really working....I also went on a 15 or so mile bike ride with the dh last night before we had to take off for the Maritime Museum for his dinner event.....so, I am baaaaaaaaaack! woot woot! hope everyone has a great Friday....

seems like we have a few teammates that are not holding up to their promise of checking in with the team three times a week.....hope it is because you are training like madmen and women! that is right????

have a great friday/ and a better weekend!

train well guys/gals!

hope you had a great day without the midgets! sure do seem to get a lot done on those days....I used to teach RSP.....and loved those workshops....well some of them anyways! hope you had a good track work out and swim....did you swim for me? my pool here is supposed to be heated....but it is COOOOOOOOOLD!~ so no swimmy for me!

Hi all,

I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of our awesome group:

Susie / Offthegrid

I "met" Susie a while back on the Team Estrogen forums and then reconnected with her here on BT. She did her first triathlon in 2007 and has her sights set on an eventual Iron Man triathlon! Like many of us, weight loss is a challenge for her and she's especially looking for help with that.

I talked her into doing the Philly Women's Triathlon in July and am really looking forward to meeting her IRL!

Please give Susie a warm welcome.

Thanks, Nicole

Sweet!!  I love it.  Julie is our Mr. Miyagi!  Focus, GPOL-mentor-group san!

I added her to my version of the roster. You are welcome to it. Generally I'm only dangerous to myself ;)

Here's the text and I've also attached it in a file.
