Mental Manatee Mentors Part 3--CLOSED (Page 61)

LOL - I pack right before leaving...if I'm missing something to wear, I've been known to grab the dirty clothes hamper and throw it in the trunk.  Why not?  All my favorite clothes are in there anyways. 

I have shown up at my sisters and said "I need to do laundry".. she almost expects it now.  In exchange for the use of her Washer / Dryer - I will do hers also.. LOL

On longer trips - requiring plane travel - I do pack the night before (usually)

So awesome.  I love a good road trip.  Have a great time and kick some Manatee at your race this weekend.  

Oh my forkin' g! My sis took me to lunch for my early bday and this was one of the things we had:

Deep fried balls of peanut butter with a dollop of jam and a tiny glass of milk. 

I LOOOOOOVE pbj! Deep fried???? Ssssshhhhh....say no more.

I always buy toiletries etc when I get to my destination and I leave them there.  Same with swimwear, just buy it there, always a better choice in a resort.

I'm a last minute but organised packer, I write a list - hey my job title is planner, it stands to reason.

Peanuts protein, jam fruit.  Milk calcium.  Lots of food groups covered off right there.

WooHoo! So awesome how that happens.

I am constantly amazed how often I catch myself saying i'm only doing 10km.

mmmmmmm.  And that looks suspiciously like blackberry jam...

Hey, Mr. Fox...Because of your two swimming posts last night, I pushed myself to get in the pool for a short swim tonight. The lanes were full when I got to the gym, so I had to change out of suit for an hour until they cleared. Then it was getting late and I really didn't feel like changing again, but DH said lanes were open. Soooo...I remembered those Olympians, resuited and got in for 20min. Glad I did! DH watched my last 50 and said my form is MUCH improved from last time he watched. I'm still not fast, but at least something is better. Woohoo

I have no idea. Did you do a BT search? (I'm assuming so, but sometimes it's like an "oh, yeah" thing )

ERMAGERD JAKARTA JUST GOT AN IN-N-OUT BURGER

This just about makes being here right now worthwhile.

Yay for getting in the pool!  It's all about personal progress, anyway.

The Manatees fly along with you!

Heh. Flying Manatees.

Do they deliver?

Don't know yet. They might, but there's only one outlet so far, so maybe just to the immediate area. Guaranteed as it catches fire they WILL have delivery

Do they deliver?

bwahaha...can you tell I posted before I finished reading the thread?

Mental Manatee Minds think alike.

I just went Kirsten something about that this morning.  My aunt had a very good experience with Chi Running.  After training for several marathons, always ending in injury, she started using Chi Running and successfully completed NYC on her 60th birthday.  God Aunt Pat!

I read the book and found it to be inspiring but felt like I needed lessons or coaching or something to implement it myself.  I haven't gone back and looked at it in a while.  Since I had a good data point on using it for injury prevention, I mentioned it to Kirsten.

I think that it's great having a coach.  It keeps me organized and pointed in the right direction.  It keeps me from signing up for races/rides willy nilly.  It focuses my training and forces me to prioritize. (it also helps me to work around my schedule)

That being said, it has to be the right coach for you.  I think that you are correct, this particular has not been the best fit for you.
