Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 62)

no worries on being scarce....just always glad to hear from you!

and puppy!? what kind?

that is funny. I had heard about it but not seen it!

Someone lacking any logic!  Seems a bit rude.  Maybe he hadn't had his morning coffee yet.  Do you think that you hit him hard enough so he'll remember not to do that to someone else in the future?

He's a mutt.  They think he's part pit part terrier.  My boys:

I always wished I had the nerve to directly run them down and teach them a lesson. I know someone here on BT who does exactly that (she used to be a competitive swimmer in HS and college).

Lucky girl, he's cute (and so is the puppy)

http://tinyurl.com/afpnle  with these shorts, will I need to get that chami buttr ?..........

Also, anyone tried that tri swim spray on glide stuff ?  I know I'll have to get some glide stuff for the shirt.......

susie...remember that eating the chocolate will only get that scale to go up! and it only will make you feel worse in the end! hope you can figure out what it is that triggers that need to eat the chocolate and then squish it like an ol dead bug!

I am really sorry you are having family issues....and you are right...family is supposed to have un-conditional love! hope you can work thru this! know you have your BT family if you need to vent! hang in there! and keep away from the chocolate! remember the progress you made on the scale!! dont make it go up again! hugs!

what cute boys you have! good for you for rescuing a dog!

dont think you will need chami butter for the short races (I have never used it, though) so not sure about it!!!!....but maybe for the longer ones! I do use glide when I use my wetsuit only....if you need it for your bike shirt...it may be too small or too tight...be careful...cuz you want something you can be comfortable racing all three stages in!! does that make sense?

just ignore this one....I somehow ended up sending the same note twice.  Since there is no way to delete, I edited the first one.

My wife's sister and husband live next door and I did most of their shoveling too.  It was messy snow.  The bottom couple inches was slushy which made it really heavy and difficult to throw.  I took my time and still got a great workout.

We actually don't get that much snow, but there are areas of Japan that get pounded every year.   It will be warmer starting tomorrow....

Now trying to decide whether to go out for a run.  I know the sidewalks and small streets will be icy.

Thanks Jules ! I got the tri tank,  so it just covers more and I think swimming in it might be kinda...... uncomfy........plus I have to wear my bra armour that stupid 11 hook and eye bra.......

Well thank you so  much for the info ! YOU ROCK

I got a new bra today, one that zips up...........and then zips its self back down with no help (yep, it is going back )

I had asked in the general forum how folks felt the first time they wore spandex in public......
TriGUS sent me this link http://tinyurl.com/d644zf  as part of his response ! It is hilarious..... and he warned me (as I warn you)......do not let the kiddos see this picture.

So with that said, hope you have a good laugh like I did !

Nighty night team !

that is funny! I hate it when that happens....but I am sure your husband would probably like you to keep it!

OMG! i almost choked!! that is the most hilarious thing EVER!!! yay for basic black!!!

first of all, i'm going to second what julee said, and say, step away from the chocolate hon. it's good now, but it's just gonna make you feel crappy tomorrow. second of all, i feel your pain. having some family issues of my own. but let me seperate it out, are we talking immediate family-husband kids? or extended family, parents and siblings? because this is all i'm gonna say, if we're talking immediate family, work it out. go for a run, clear your head, do what you gotta do to make things work. IF however you're talking about extended family, let it go. don't make time in your life for venomous people! blood nothing, blood doesn't give someone the right to make you feel bad! blood doesn't give anyone the right to hurt you! i've severed some blood ties with extended family members (siblings-and their spouses) and it's made a huge difference! by cutting off contact with them, i've taken away their power, they can't hurt me anymore.
i don't know your situation at all, but i've got LOTS of experiece with family blah blah, if you want to PM me, or call me or whatever, i'm here sister! we're ALL here! we have the rockinest mentor group on bt!!

What a good-looking pair! Is your fiance also a tri-guy? Remind me when is the big day?

It seems like it would make so much sense but some just don't seem to get it. I, too, was already splitting a lane and a guy jumps in. Luckily I saw him in time to avoid a crash. Funny enough, when I asked him to wait at the end for out other lane mate to set up our circle, he just laughed and ducked under the rope, not 5 minutes later, he has a full on collision with one of the guys in that lane. He was much more undersatnding than I would have been. Oh well...the world has all kinds, and I just remind myself that you can't always control what happens to you, but you can control how you choose to react. Just have to reign it in sometimes.  

Susie, so sorry to hear about the family issues. Listen to Julie and Alyssa, you are way better off going for a run/swim or to a yoga class to burn off some steam than to eat chocolate. You have worked way to hard to throw it away. This is part of the challenge- to manage the desire to eat when you are emotional. You are a strong woman, and while family can cause us to do some crazy things, you know that there are better ways to handle it than through food. Big hugs....know that you have tons of support with the group!
