No running since last week. Thinking some treadmill later today...better than ice running. Eeek!Last bit of wrapping (and even shopping) getting done this morning so we can go hang out at a Christmas Eve party then check out the lights on The Plaza. Kids are about to jump out of their skins counting down til bedtime. SO MUCH FUN! Happy Eve to all :D BRRRR!!! Sounds like you have a fun (although cold) day in store. Good luck trying to keep the kiddos in their skins, LOL!! I can only imagine their excitement! Yesterday it fell from the 20's in the morning all the way to 0 just after dark. -3 this morning, up to 6 mid day now. Actually didn't feel bad after the 20+ mph winds of last night. That actually stung a bit. We seem to be getting a number of those falling days this year, not sure why. But hey, at least there is snow down on this day. Fairly rare occurrence with that timing.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by jmkizer First, I don't know what happened, but I was not getting notifications when there were posts here ; thought everyone was really, really quiet! Glad I came looking!!Originally posted by TriAya Originally posted by StaceyK Originally posted by cdban66 Not sure. I know Yanti is having a great deal of problem getting onto BT at the moment according to FB. Maybe we can just keep hanging out in archiving until we work it out. Originally posted by jmkizer We've been archived. It looks like a new round of mentor groups is in the works. So, what are we going to do? Well, according to how my arms LOOK, I must be a not-so-recovering IV drug user ... how're your stings healing up? I love the crusty stage! We are the Manatee Mentals ... err, Mentors, I'm Asian, sorry I get that mixed up a lot. Anyway, plural. So it's a group decision. I'd like to open up for some new Manatees; hence, a new thread. However, I've noticed every year that the post-New Year's newbies (whether to tri and/or BT) miss out on most of the open/active groups ... I'd like to wait until after New Year's. For me, personally, and I imagine many of the Manatees, it's also a much more manageable time. But I'm okay with whatever. I'd love this group to continue, or as many of the Manatees as would like to, and open the doors but not the floodgates for some new podmates. (1) I want to continue to be a Manatee (2) I think January 2 would be a good opening time. I would like to get new active members. Right now we have about 50% inactive members and that makes me sad. (3) I really do think that the logging component is important. (4) Does the January 2 timeframe work with Jantastic? (Just checked, rules state that it starts January 6 so we are good.) second! I agree with everything Janyne said ( like usual). and lastly , it is the first day of winter and we are in the 80s!>p>ETA: just saw Janyne's post about notifications being turned off because we were archived, so I guess now I know what happened! Me too!!!!!!!!!! I missed a bunch. Off to catch up! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by cdban66 Originally posted by melbo55 Any other suckers devoted employees at work today? Feeling a bit like a chump hanging out in the ghost town here, but it's also kind of nice. Yes, I have staff out, so I cover. I am the world's best boss, if I do say so myself. Or, I'm a sucker, take your pick. Actually, transactions continue in the banking world, no matter what. Combine that with the Target hack and I have a bit of a workload today. So, today will be just like every other day. Tomorrow will be better!!!! Me too. Heading out in about an hour though. Need to go pick up DH's present at Lowe's. Talk about cutting it close. I special ordered it and it FINALLY came in! |

We are going to the Santa Fe Plaza tonight to see the lights. I'll post pix tomorrow. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() MERRY CHRISTMAS MANATEES (You are going to have to imagine that is big and bright red cause I can't work out how to do it on the iPad) I hope that you have a really great day filled with family friends and many of God's blessings. I also hope that Santa brings you some cool stuff. I got Sheila Ts book and workout cards and some new fish for my aquarium that have come out of hiding this morning. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Merry Christmas to our Aussie Manatees, and Merry Eve to the rest of y'all. I did the last of my errands this morning. Had a visit with my Trevor this afternoon (the dog I sat on in Sept), came home for a lit-up-and-jingle-bell-y run. Now I am cooking steak and lobster tails and stuffed potatoes with my honey, and sipping mulled cider. I hope everyone has a great day with family and friends. Be safe, be happy, be well. |

I was going to crop this picture to show the cool Christmas earrings and Christmas tie on the Ironman finisher shirt (all strictly color coordinated, of course) ... but frankly, the minor (for me) transition-area-like explosion on the floor just really made it, well ... real.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I hope everyone is enjoying the week and all that it is giving you. Happy belated B-Day Janyne, Merry Christmas to all! I have two questions this morning, The first, regarding GPS watches (which I received from THE Wife), is simply what data are you using during and after a workout? Which do you find useful and which is just fluff in your mind? I am not using a HRM at this point, nor any other add ons like a foot pod or cadence sensor. All that may be added over time, if I deem it necessary. The other question is for Yanti. Are you doing the next Manatee Mentor group setup? If so, is there anything I can do to help with that? Have a great day, the weekend is fast approaching. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by cdban66 I have my watch set up so the first screen has current pace, distance, time of day, and time of work out. I also have it set to beep on the mile ( for runs) with the pace of that mile ( for the bike it is set @ 5 miles). During the run I normally only pay attention to the last mile pace to see if I've been dogging it and distance to make sure I'm where I need to be. After the run I like to see average pace and overall time. I also like to see each mile's pace to see how they compare.I hope everyone is enjoying the week and all that it is giving you.

Have a great day, the weekend is fast approaching. Nice gift, Chris! Santa, aka your beloved wife, was good to you! During workout: first screen for both running and biking is total elapsed time, pace (min/mile running, mph biking), and distance. Second screen has time of day, HRM (which I rarely use) and in the case of biking, cadence (mainly used during TR sessions since my sensor isn't always on my bike). Like Ann-Marie, I have an alert every mile for running which will show average pace for that mile. I don't have any alerts set for biking. Post workout: I enjoy seeing overall pace and pace per mile and distance. Oh, and of total elapsed time. I don't think I really look at much else post-workout except for Strava, comparing what I've done to my previous efforts on the same course (if applicable) and any segments. |

![]() | ![]() Oh yeah, forgot to add that I also have time of sunset in my 2nd screen for running which is helpful in the fall/spring when I run on the trails after work. Let's me know what time I should plan on being out of there (illegal to be on the trails after dark). |

I managed to get a new pair of Brooks for $100 less than the last pair I brought ![]() ETA: I tried to attach a photo but I can't for some reason, they are a lovely dark purple colour with lime green accents because I remember what Tom said about fluoro shoes going faster!

Cool! It is a long held belief of mine that the brighter and uglier the shoes, the faster you go. I have no scientific evidence of this, but I have been passed by many ugly shoes |
