The "A" Team (Page 61)

I'm a slacker dad. My son has never been to the circus and he is 18. Last time I went was probably over 30 years ago and I have never been to a big circus like Barnum and Bailey. 

pdbman - 2010-04-20 12:00 PM I just figured out why its so quiet.  We're missing the Bills.

It's the Derby Festival Marathon in Louisville!  It looks like it should be fun, as long as the thunderstorms hold off!

Paul, don't feel bad.  I've taken my kids twice and both times, at intermission, they said, "Yay, it's over... can we go home now?"  It was Barnum and Bailey, but it should have been called Boredom and Costly... it's just not that great anymore.  Seeing elephants walk around in a circle just doesn't do it for me.

For me, it's a love/hate relationship.  When I'm feeling good...running is awesome.  But when my legs are beat up, and I'm just not feeling it...I dread running.  As my running progresses, it means I can slowly increase volume and intensity...and the vicious cycle starts again...LOL

Shoeless - 2010-04-20 11:08 PM It has a long way to go to become my favorite, but I don't ever dread it like I used to. I can put up an amazing 10-minute procrastination routine, though!

wgraves7582 - 2010-04-21 7:18 AM Morning A Team - time to get back on the bike after work tonight.  This chest crap kicked my butt the last 2 days!!!!

In the office today and then out playing the rest of the week.  Son and I are going camping tomorrow at a local park that has fun mountain bike trails so 2 for 1.  Biking and time with the boy!!!

kimk - 2010-04-21 7:26 AM Morning ATeam! I am stiff this morning, my hip is really bothering me kinda worried for my tri...I really had high hopes for a good race with possible podium placement....but not looking good now. I am thinking I will cut back on everything....even do the least amount in teaching my classes(which never happens) We will see how I feel after backing off. Although I still have Yoga, and 3 water classes today. and cycle and silver sneakers tomorrow. I have been stretching and using a foam roller several times a day. Have to take my 12yr old to the DR for an EKG today, she complained of her heart hurting on Monday so we took her to her ped, they think it is just the muscle but want to make sure.

Good luck in your race, Missy!  Hope the weather holds out for you. 

P.S.  Two more posts and you will become "EXPERT"!

mchally - 2010-04-21 10:27 AM I am very excited.  I may have mentioned before...My best friend bought me an awesome pannier for my birthday.  It is an Ortlieb, waterproof, top of the line, and carries my laptop in addition to other stuff.

I bought a rear rack last night from REI (after 30 minutes on the bus and an hour on the bike to get there).  I mounted it and was able to use my pannier for the first time this morning.  The bike is a bit side heavy when walking it, but once I get in the saddle it isn't an issue.  I also brought a warmer change of clothes and a winter jacket...something that I am very grateful to have today.

The rain this morning reminded me that I need to get some fenders to make this bike a decent commuter.  I prefer not to have a constant stream of water hitting me in the chest(and occasionally in my face as well).  Also...I need to waterproof my shoes.

I'm the same way!  I used to HATE running, but now it's my favorite!

As you can see, I'm back!  Needed a mental health day yesterday.  My daughter stayed home "sick" from school.  She said her stomach hurt, but I think she also needed a MH day also.  They just went through standardized testing for the past week+ and softball practices and games are almost constant this month and next.  So we all stayed home to recharge the batteries.

Thanks Bill!

Hey look, I'm an expert now!  I must know more than I did a few posts ago
