Hey everyone. Long time no type.

I was talking about this site with my TNT people today and apparently there is another person on my team who comes on here and we agree this site is fantastic! :-)

Anyway, I am going to be a bum and post the link to my TNT website. People say my story is inspirational so maybe you'd be inspired.  If you would like to donate - even $1.00, that would be great! (or pass the link on to your friends.)

I am terrible at fundraising.  But it is for a good cause.  Anyone have any fundraising advice?

Oh by the way, here is my link - if anything, check it out, I spent a lot of time on this website and it is a good story I guess: http://www.wix.com/danett27/Running-the-Race

 Oh! I have a question. I want to link my training log to my site. Is there a way to do that?

with care,

Hi Karen:

Thanks for your help.  I have got to work on the physical letters. What did you think of my website?  I have only raised about 600 since I put it up on Thursday and am getting very worried.

I wish we could have  dress down day at work but I live in the impossible New York City where dress down day is still dress up!

I guess I can try to pass on to neighbors but am a little concerned. I live in a big impolite city and it may not go over well but I gues I can start with the immediate neighbors.  How much did you end up spending in copies?  I guess a trip to Kinkos is in order for me!

Hi!

Thanks for the good advice.  I think that the idea of the auction is a good one.  Fundraising is hard for me. I hate asking for things! So maybe this is a good experience for me. :-)

My first marathon is in the books.  The Carlsbad Marathon was great!  Beautiful course along the beach, I was covered in salt spray by the finish, well maybe it was sweat.  I finished in 3:40... I think.  I forgot to look at the official clock, and the results are not posted yet.

 My knees are swollen and legs are sore,  I don't think I trained enough or had a long enough base period.

Ha, well I do feel a little better now that I am not the only one.

Sweet bike, my LBS is a Giant dealer and I looked at them some but have never ridin one, do you like it? do you love it?

Awesome marathon pic, I don't think I would be able to finish that at this point in my endurance training, but maybe one day.  I do love Carlsbad though!

I'm having some issues with the computer on my bike maybe someone could shed some light on.

Mounted computer has working batteries and seems to be functioning fine.  However when I got the bike the wheel magnet had been removed. 

While at my LBS spending too much money on other things I mentioned I needed the wheel magnet and they tossed one on my pile of other things. It is flat spoke magnet with a taco style design held together by a small screw. 

Well I mounted it, probably incorrectly, but I am still not getting any feed back on the computer display (rpm, mileage etc all still zero).  So I changed the battery on the sensor... still not getting any output.

 Did I mount the magnet wrong?  Any other suggestions?  I didn't think it would be this difficult.

 Thanks

just got back from a freaking colllllllld ride out there.  Took my bike to the train station for the empty giant parking lot and did some sprints up and down the lanes.

I was really excited to try out some of my new bike gear.

Needless to say I got my butt back to my apartment as fast as i could and hooked the bike back up to the trainer. 

still too cold out there.

hah, a heat wave here would be anything above 32F
