Well ,,,,I have been lurking and trying to keep up and .... welll.... STACY I was laughing about the whole bionic scepter garmin thing and then... I am so sorry. I read a little into about what might be upcoming in your China sea race but I hoped I was wrong.
Dang.
honey.
I and the village are here for you. really. In a not so cyber way.
I am floudering. I had lots of comments but they seem kinda trite at this point.
Mindy, I am not a person to give advise on races, etc. being the novice (back slider) that I am. I am always interested in the info the rest of you will send to Mindy. I am trying to figure out what to do this year so as not to repeat my dismal race year of 2009..
On that note.
I will catch up with all tomorrow.
Love you MEAN it

disturbed275 - 2009-12-29 6:12 PM I'm popping in to do some bragging tonight. I just finished up the eighth week of swim focused training. Before the start of those 8 weeks I did a 1000yd time trial in 17:21. Today I did another time trial and this time I did it in 16:07!!

My goal was to go under 16' by the end of March. I've got another 8 weeks of swimming focus ahead. Can't wait to see what I can do!

That is great, Neal.

I am sure that another 8 weeks will amaze you! What a great focus.

Great job Neal. You took off over a minute in 8 weeks, I'm sure you can get those last 7 seconds in 8 more weeks.

mndymond - 2009-12-29 8:15 PM So this sorta looks like my plan if I go with the HIM:

March 27--Indoor Sprint tri--Stationary bike, track run
May 2--Vancouver Half Marathon
May 22--8.5km trail race in Canada Olympic Park, Calgary
June 6--Summerside Olympic tri http://www.multisportscanada.com/LakeSummerside.html
July 4--Canmore Olympic tri http://www.canmoretriathlon.com/id9.html
Aug 1--Calgary 70.3 http://www.ironmancalgary.com/
Sept 5--Leduc Women's Only Sprint
Sept 18--Turkey trot--8km
Oct 2--Tuffest Three relay--23km cycle TT

Hmmm...I'm debating a trail race in between Canmore and the HIM...maybe a road race somewhere...who knows...

I think this looks good Melissa. You have a month between each of the Oly's and the 1/2. You should go for it!

YOU CAN DOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIITT!!!!!!!!

Good morning Ghoulies!!!

It is time to rise and shine in the village! I've been up most of the night, so I should be crashing sometime mid morning.

My daughter has not had a good week of vacation. She missed the Christmas party at church because she had pink eye. Then she missed the pool party last night because she has an ear infection. Today she will miss a play date with a friend from school because she was up vomiting all night. I think we were up 6 times in 7 hours, but I'm not sure, it was a long night. She was sick again as I was leaving. I feel bad for her, she's missed a lot of fun stuff this week. Maybe I'll plan something special for her next weekend, a girls day out or something.

Have a great day in the village everyone!!!

Oh and my night at the pool party...

The warm water pool, the one the party was in, didn't open until 4 and we were there early. I got a couple of laps in while everyone was waiting, it's nice having a Y with 2 pools. Then I went and swam for an hour with the kids. Talk about a workout. Playing in the pool with 10 kids ages 9-12 is hard work. I did have 2 slices of pizza then later, but no cupcake.

I got to spend a few minutes in the steam room, too. There was an older guy in there who was a very loud breather, it was quite annoying.

Yikes, Ann. I really hope your daughter is feeling better soon. That can't be much fun.

Hope you survive the day too!

speaking of Noon.

i have a doctors appointment - please oh please doctor COLD LASER MY CRANKY HIP/IT BAND!!!!!!!

then a 45 min continuous swim. (BTW, NEAL. UBER FAB PROGRESS. man. you set a goal and stick w it til you reach it. woo hoo for you....)

then im gonna spend some time filling out job applications. im actually looking forward to getting back out there in the world. the SAHM gig is GREAT, i LOVE being home w my kids, but having a few hours here and there/just part time is gonna be uber cool too.

im waiting on hearing back from the Exec Dir at the Y about the Front Desk job, that would be 'ideal' on a multitude of levels, but i dont want to put all my eggs in one basket either....and even if i get the job at the Y, im hoping to 'diversify' myself just a bit

LIVE ON!
