See, this is where the big dilemma is.  Neither one really interests me, but since the former Senator is teaching one, I figured he might be a good person to know and/or it may be an easier class.  I really have no idea, and I need to decide today!  Yikes!

i'm to dumb to be a lawyer,  but a class on current events/issues taught by a former us senator would be pretty cool.    hope you feel better soon.

Tony is so the redhead. Sam is the blonde.

AWESOME.

Are we talking Feingold?  This might get me in trouble, but I would rather take a class on garbage collection procedures than listen to that drone for an entire semester.

x2... I would also be worried he may try to TAX you to get into class everyday.
 

Hahaha, point taken.  Though Remedies sounds pretty awful, also.  But, the point is moot now because I just found out that Feingold's course is closed! 

So unless I get in another course off the waitlist, Remedies it is... oh this should be a great semester!

Glad your tummy is feeling better, Christina! 

I've had this problem, too, and it seems to depend upon several factors, one of which is where I happen to be in my monthly cycle.  I have to really pay attention to what I eat the day before or even a few days before a long run or races for that matter.  I try not to eat too much fiber which is hard because I love salads and veggies. 

For example, I have a long run tomorrow, so for lunch today (as I type) I am eating a grilled chicken breast, small serving of green beans and a small amount of brown rice.  Tonite, I will probably have chicken again and maybe a small serving of whole wheat pasta and more green beans.  I also stay away from dairy especially cheese as much as possible the day before.

Also, Suzy helped me alot with pre run prep.  I will get up at 4am (yes, 4am!) to eat my toast and pb with hot tea, 8 oz of water and then lie back in bed for about 90 minutes or until nature calls.  Then head off for my run fueled but without any additional fluid or food entering my system.  It has helped sooooo much, I used to have to use the porta potty or bush about 10 minutes into every long run because I was not giving myself enough time to digest and eliminate. 

Anyhow, good luck on this weekend's run! 

Kim,  DO NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH ANYBODY OUTSIDE THIS MG OR OTHER TRIATHLON / RUNNING CIRCLES.  People already think we are crazy enough!!!!    

Oh, Dino!  You guys all know that I am not shy when it comes to talking about my myriad of "experiences"...million dollar homes along Diamond Head ring any bells????  I just want to share my experiences to hopefully help others in this wonderful MG avoid similar "issues".   And we are crazy!  Love feeling like the crazy person coming home from my long run when my neighbors are coming out in their robes to pick up the newspaper! 

Okay, maybe tomorrow it will be 4:30 am, I just have to get to work by 10, so I should be good to leave at 6am for the run.    Speaking of early morning workouts, anyone heard from Barry lately?

I still managed to get my ride in tonight!  Feeling a tad better, but we'll see how the run goes tomorrow.

Want to know how awesome Ryan and I are?  It's Friday night.  We washed our cars, tried on our new wetsuits(!), I worked out, and now we're eating pizza, watching tv, and will be going to bed shortly.  We are the coolest 23- and 24-year-olds ever!

I also want to get in a spin tomorrow.  Just found out we're going to Fort Lauderdale for spring break, so more weight loss would be nice!

You crazy kids. Sounds like a big wild and crazy night. Wait til you have kids. It gets even more exciting than that!!

Hmmm... good thing I don't want kids, I don't think I could handle more craziness than this! 


My new wetsuit fits though!!!  Thank you BT Survey!  We both got Xterra Vortex wetsuits, they're awesome, and it only cost us $300 for both!  I'm a cold water sissy, so I'm very excited!

I was looking at picking up the Vector Pro X2. With the deal it seems decently priced.

Looks good  I just bought my 1st wetsuit to this year too. Wife wasn't to happy I seem to find all of these hobbies that cost money.

Good luck to Kyla and Glen this weekend.

Can't remember if there are other racers this weekend but if there are, good luck to you too!!!

Haha, thanks John!  Yes, those are dirty socks with my house slippers!    I had to take them off to put the wetsuit on, sorry!  And it's a rental apartment, so we don't have much say in colors/carpet/doors/etc.  I can't tell if there's a draft though because that door just goes to a hallway, but no light comes in through it, so I don't mind!  Funny how you found ALL THAT in that one picture because I honestly was thinking that would be the best place to take it.  You ARE quite the antagonist though, aren't you? 

I'm excited about it though.  I think 1.2 miles will be much easier in it!

I have had all kinds of problems with GI distress during long runs.  The best remedy I have found... for me... is to slow down.  My GI distress fires up when I'm deep into a run that started off way to fast.  I know every one is different, but if you're experimenting you could try a long slow run at a long really slow pace and if you're feeling good in the last leg you could pick up for the last 5k.

I have also heard of folks using Imodium but I haven't tried it myself so I'm not sure.

This can be a tough one to figure out.
 

How is your diet?  I find when I am extremely sluggish and in a fowl mood after a hard few weeks of building my caloric intake needs to go up.  Do you take whey protein?  Are you getting enough sleep?  I agree taking a day off will help greatly as well.  Those are just my suggestions.
