mchally - 2009-01-07 7:49 PM I just finished my push-ups.  I think that I maxed out at 18, but that seems high...maybe I miscounted.  Well, I did at least 15 on my last set.

I did 2.  Yup 2.  Geez I suck. I used to be able to crank out 10 in the summer.  Oh boy do I have a long way to go!

The last time I tried to do pushups (sometime this summer) I barely managed two.  All the time that I have spent digging holes in rocks and clay has really, really paid off.

As fun as digging holes sounds, I think I'll try hitting the gym a little more often!

Erica, are you doing the push up challenge also?

I'm gonna start it soon.  I was doing it in the summer and fizzled out.  I'm feeling wimpy again so it's time to do something about it!

Happy Thursday everyone!!

I have some exciting news to share....yesterday I registered for my first HIM (Timberman 70.3)!!!  I've been thinking about it for a while, and also about this race in particular.  And lately I feel like I've been thinking about it nonstop, and the more I thought about it the more I really really wanted to it this year.  When I checked yesterday there were fewer than 100 spots left, so I knew I had to decide soon.  Before I knew what I was doing I was clicking submit & registered!  I'm sooo excited!!!

Congrats!!  That is super exciting!  I think there are a lot of BTer's doing Timberman for their first HIM.  I am hoping to come up and jock strap.  So, when does the training start??

If you ever need a training partner on the weekend, let me know i am only 45 mins from Manhattan and love to meet Bt'ers. Maybe we can get LazyMarathoner also (Kristin is another Manhattanite that just moved to Brooklyn) and make a group day, there are a bunch of BT'ers in the city!

 

If you're ever interested my running group has a run every Saturday morning at 9.30 (8.30 during the summer & early fall) in Central Park.  It's a lot of fun!  There's a pretty wide range of pace groups and we run 5, 6 or 7 miles....although rare is the day that I do more than 5 on a Saturday morning.  The best part of the Saturday run, and my biggest motivator for going, is that we go to brunch afterwards.

Do you do any of the NYRR races?

i just started all this and have only been running since August, so i have not done any NYRR races. I have done some 5k's and 5 milers locally to me and can hold a 10min pace for those at this point, i would love to come down one weekend and meet and run with ya!!

Quiet day around here huh?  Got my run done.  It was shorter than I intended but I didn't mind!   It started snowing while I was running.  That was fun!!!  I'm glad I dragged myself out and did it!

Now, off to a fun PTO meeting tonight.  Don't be jealous!

You are going to LOVE Timberman! I've not done that race, but I've done several of the race director's half IM's in Texas (Lonestar and Longhorn). They are the BEST races ever. He puts on a top notch super 'user friendly' race with great shirts, perks, etc! I am so excited that will be your first half! You could not have picked a better race for it's organization and awesomeness! That's so exciting!

Back from the PTO meeting.  It wasn't horrible but not fabulous either.  They waste way too much time talking about stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the school.  I really don't want to spend my entire night there! 

Now just to wait for the BCS championship game to start!  Anyone else watching?  Predictions?  I couldn't care less who wins but hope it's a good game.

Thanks!  You're the second person who told me how great Longhorn is and that Timberman should be great as it's the same race director.....hearing this makes me even more excited!!   Ooh, and I do love a good race shirt Laughing

What's everyone doing this weekend?  We are expecting some snow tomorrow.  Boo!  Hopefully I can get my training in before it starts!  My BFF was supposed to come down for the weekend but isn't now because of the weather.  So, I am thinking that tomorrow is a movie day with some good wine.
