Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 58)

Yaaaaay Amy! So great to see you back and feeling so amazing! Love the avatar and the smile on your face...Dahling, you're gorgeous! Have a wonderful day!

Alyssa- so loving those bears and the names your kids created. Not like you don't have enough going on in your world already, but if you wanted some extra $ making bears..... then again, it would probably cut into your training time .

I am going to have one tired puppy tonight. Linkin's brother, Argus is here for the day and any thought of having a second dog has just been tossed out the window. It hasn't even been an hour and chaos is reigning in the house. I started by running around after them and straightening up the couch, the area rug, the puddles left after visits to the water dish, and putting toys back in the toy bin....sigh, I think instead, I will just lock myself in a room and clean up before hubby gets home. And to think that today was to be my rest day.  

Oh girl I feel your pain !  I have tennis elbow in my dominant arm (right).....SUCKS. I have had two cortizone shots in it and the first turned my elbow skin white, then basically somehow managed to dissolve all the little bit of fat there was on my elbow....... so it's bone and no fat. That round of pt and that shot did not hold.......... so second shot turned my arm darker but seemed to work.  Until lately, I am back to icing it 'cause there will be no more cortizone shot into this body !
So....... I do hope your splint works, I think I am going to have to wear my band again !

welcome to my world! haha

I am watching my brothers dog more then he does. We love him..but my goodness is it a lot of extra work. They will ~ pardon the expression ~ sleep like puppies tonight!

obtw: just got back from the Amgen Tour....was rainy, wet and yes, windy! but I got some great pictures that I will post tomorrow....we were on the ocean side of Skyline at the top of Tunitas Creek Road....glad I went. My feet are just now thawing out..everything else was warm! great race!

once again glad to see that Amy is back~ she knows how much we missed her by all the reading she has had to catch up on....plus you guys dont know this probably...but she and Cheri are on other mentor teams but I begged them to be on ours....(actually had to pay them = NOT) but just want to let them both know how much I appreciate the time they spend with us and all the inspires we all seem to get from them!

Nalani...still have not mailed your super duper first and only (at least so far) GPOL Athlete of the month trophy. But will promise to do so soon...sure you are just dying to get it! haha~

Jennifer....glad you are back from Switzerland...and were able to get some skiing time in...look forward to hearing all about it...and hoping you got some good snapshots!?

and finally...Lyssa...love the bears~! really cute! we may have to make you make the monthly awards!! and as for being on top TMI!!!!! sorry but my mind is always in the gutter! but a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste, too!!!  haha

Amy, it's great to have you back. Your smile is radiant.

I've read the first two Eragon books and have the third waiting for when I can find some time to read again.

I got in my ride this morning. It was a hilly sufferfest of my own design and choosing; it was cold, it was windy...wow that was fun! Maybe I can learn to love hills!

The upside of hill climbing is that there's usually a downside, a screaming decent; even though the wind and cold was making my eyes tear the speed is fun.

just got back from a dusk run. ran 3 miles...no sore knee, either! yay! tomorrow I am going for a very very very long swim...maybe bike ride if weather allows...and you????

Great job on the run, and I'm so glad your knee didn't hurt!  I'm heading out for a short run in a few minutes, even though it is cold outside (well, cold for Florida -- 37 degrees).  And today is Torture Dan Tuesday, so I'm sure he'll have some "fun" things in store for me tonight!  

"Fuji Day" as in a new Fuji bike?!? Details!

you have a fuji bike Amy? or is this some kind of work out I am not aware of!?! ;p

cant swim today...just heard that there are thunderstorm that are chances of thunderstorms today...and I am sorry but I swim outdoors and very chicken when it comes to lightning/thunder! so I am going for another short run today.

remember today's word: FOCUS!

have a great week! gonna see the route for todays Amgen...I may be able to drive across the bay and catch them as they head up the Sunol. Hoping I still have time to get over there....train well guys/gals!

 no worries! you are just saving your legs for those important race days! never have to worry about you losing focus....good job on getting to the pool...next time could you drag me along!!!!

congrats on the weight loss Susie.....kiu! soon you will get in a routine and the weight will begin to shed away!!!

I hope you are getting up and eating a healthy breakfast first thing you do. This was one of my biggest mistakes I made for many years when trying to lose weight...my daughter  who was a collegiate athlete and eats soo healthy and nutritious was able to persuade me to get up and eat a bowl of my favorite mix of flax/granola/bran mixture with a fresh fruit and soy milk every morning.....I am amazed at how quickly my weight began to drop off! this is my weight loss tip for the day

hoping you others teamies will share some of your favorite weight loss tips with us.

I have some great recipes for making your own granola bars...I make myself some weekly...and what is fun...is you can go in all directions with it...and add your favorite dried fruits/nuts/flavors....it is great in yogurts or on its own....
