So... how many miles did you run?  Are you really going to say that without sharing the details?

jbwills - 2012-12-23 9:18 PM

Thanks, but I do enjoy cooking, getting tired of cooking for myself. Here are some pictures of my recent meals i made. The really sad thing is I have not been on a date in so long I think I have forgotten how.

Top is 2 turkey patties with durkee fried onions, carrots and green beans. Then couscous with brussel sprouts and grilled chicken breast. Next, grilled turkey patties, lima beans and minestrone soup. Then, sauteed scallops in white wine sauce with green beans. Then, kale salad with steak pieces, tomatoes and lima beans. Finally a grilled chicken salad.

Well, that's what we have training logs for. I keep you on your toes by making you count on your own.

Nah ... since your new I'll do it for you this time. 84 miles.

jbwills - 2012-12-24 10:11 AMIf you look at the bottom bar of someone's post here there is a link to logs. If they have shared their logs you will go to their logs.

4agoodlife - 2012-12-24 9:18 AMHa! Yeah...obviously I need to explore more. Here's another question since you're up for answering so unjudgmentally. Best way to post pics? So far only can put them in profile and move them to thread from there...?

Thanks for the welcome everyone and looking forward to the craziness/inspiration.  My first year on BT I was in a good group with Baowolf as the mentor but I have a feeling this will be a little more... interesting. 

Piglet, TAN, Manatee, pod and melon press, check.  But you all have to help me on JoGo...?

Also Yanti, I passed through Indonesia including Bali on a cross Asia trip in 2009, thought it was great place!  I hope you have a great Christmas with your family and doberman.  I've always wanted a doberman or maybe a boxer, I could never bring myself to dress it up though.

Anyways I did a 6 mile run in 19 F temps, and an indoor trainer ride of about 15 miles.

Whew, so I survived Christmas with my nuclear family (we celebrate on Christmas Eve evening) and they survived me. The food was spectacular, if I do say so myself. I was mildly surprised. You just never know how stuff is going to turn out.

Me, Mutti, and the menu: TURRRRRKEY, giblet gravy, mashed taters, candied yams (plain roasted for my dad), apple-and-bacon stuffing (bread from scratch. Bacon cut by hand from whole pork belly. Etc.), caramelized French red pearl onions, peas, no cranberries = fresh whole dark-cherry gelee flamed with brandy (far more popular than the gluck-slop-out canned cranberry jelly ever was), and no-sugar-added pumpkin-actually-butternutsquash pie!

 

I know it's hard to think of me as being domesticated, much less domestic, but I really am.

 

My first "pumpkin" pie! First, seconds, and thirds were had.

 

The non-homicidal family.

 

The homicidal family (PsychoChrismaSistahs!)

 

In other news, it looks like the Funny Farm will be welcoming two Dobermans for Christmas (after the New Year). Why do people always give me weird animal gifts?! (Don't answer that). Those things better come ready to run.

Also, this week is especially crazy since tomorrow, Christmas proper, we go to my brother's place and it's a riotous affair of nieces nephews sig others random extras etc. The day after is my niece's bridal shower/bachelorette party (my brother's kids are all closer to me in age and relationship than he is), and then the 27th is her wedding. AAAAAAAGH I may be domestic but that implies a HOUSE, not a WEDDING ...

Looking to put in 17-18 hours of training this week (no idea where it will come from but it is strictly scheduled!), didn't gorge myself at dinner tonight OR snack-taste the food all day (weird, right?) ... oh and we made gingerbread, too! That was my mom's present to everyone, personalized gingerbread cookies. Which basically means I make the gingerbread and she gets to put icing and decorations on them

Got in an hour on my new bike this morning. As I was riding in 37 degrees and thinking about how cold I was I remembered Jonathan saying something about 40 below, I quickly warmed up and appreciated the 37 degrees and sunshine.

 

What is TAN?

TriAya - 2012-12-24 2:22 PM

ABANDON HOPE, ALL YE WHO ENTER!

It's a thread in Cup of Joe. TAN stands for Thread About Nothing, which is exactly what it is. Has slightly different and some additional rules with respect to BT.

rrrunner - 2012-12-24 1:16 PM Morning Pod. I went out for an hour run this morning for my Jogo. Was cold but a better run than yesterday.

Got some great sport related presents already. A great new camelback type pack from DS2 and a Moab brewery bike jersey from DH!

Merry Christmas Manatees!!!! I pray you all have a blessed day with friends and loved ones.

Oh Lord help you. It looks like a great way to lose a few hours a day.

TriAya - 2012-12-24 2:33 PM

Not to mention brain cells ... it's actually a pretty extraordinary group in there. Sometimes I like it more or less depending on who the current predominant posters are, but I dearly love many of the individuals and have been a part of TAN since the beginning.

Looks like I'm getting my 30 minutes in at the playground today. I can't see any real "training" happening til Wednesday.

Thanks for the pic posting advice! I'm testing it out with a picture of my little ones...
