HILDEKQ'S Magnificently Motivational Mentor Group - CLOSED!! (Page 63)

Thanks guys for liking my new ride!!! yes, the tape will have to go eventually - but the saddle needs to be first!!!  I think Joe and Hilde are right on...I'm gonna try the Cobb v-flow plus to cushion my little sensitive taint....Hilde, there is no accent color really - some red on the wheels that's about it....My bike is a 2011 and I did get a pretty good discount and got some small extras thrown in too.  I was really fretting the decision to spend so much money on a bike....I'm sure I didn't need it, but I did make myself a deal that if I stayed with it - and got above 20mph average in a race that I could get it....So I did meet my goals set 1.75 years ago....Yes my friend...you will have your work cut out for you in Waco!!!!  I can promise you that!!

YES, we need more to help our taints.....that would be a good t-shirt!!!!  The bike is now part of the family....I'll need to photograph my roadie with my Tri bike...so they feel more like siblings!! haha  Rec-Specs????? hmmmmm.....sexy!?!?!

Yep, gotta abuse your current ride to get another.....maybe..haha.  Best thing is just to be out riding anything and enjoying it...right...but a new piece of equipment does make it a tad bit more fun!

Tucker sorry I didn't have a chance to give you pre well wishes...But now that you're out and flying high - I'm very glad everything went well and they found the problem.  Keep a few of the pills for later use....a beer and some narcotics can be fun later in the future too.....haha.  Hey, keep telling Hilde that you are eating way too much and getting real real fat, slow and losing cardio really fast....Then run circles around her with a smirk on your face..cheering - COWTOWN BIATCH>>>WHAT YA THINK NOW????? LMAO.

Hope you feel better soon and the recovery is super fast!!!

SAB:

Slurp Alcoholic Bananas

Smack A Bootie

Sweet Alabama Barbecue

Sip A Bourbon

Space Age Boner

DING, DING, DING!! THAT, my friends, is why Hilde is my BFF!! Or maybe because she IS that's why she knew what my acronym meant!!.... ;-)

Going to be left to my own devices today...Hubby going to work and all the kids to school. Oh no...what SHALL I do with myself? LOL

Oh, and I found out this morning around 4 a.m exactly WHY I should not go 8 hours w/o any hydro at this point!! Nature called...and I almost didn't make it to the potty hopping on one foot - then halfway back to the bed I couldn't take the pain and hubby had to pick me up and carry me back to bed. I am NOT one of those girls who DRESSES for bed either soooo....If I'd been a fly on the wall looking at the half neked man carrying the neked woman w/her foot in a sexy walking boot - I would have fallen on the floor laughing my arse off!! ;-))

Mother, Just food for thought.....if you get a few speeding tickets, or possibly a Misdemeanor Marijuana Possession charge, you'd NEVER get picked for Jury Duty again....like, EVER!  NOT that I would know anything about the above mentioned.  Or, you could show up making very racy and inappropriate racial and/or profane outburts in a Tourettes type manner, and I'm almost sure you'd be promptly dismissed, and we could have coffee and breakfast together, maybe stop by Tucker's house and try her Vicodin out to make sure they are not defective...  Love youuuuuuuuuuuuu

Turtle!!!!!  I'll be cheering for you and will track to too!!!  Awesome, I can legally stalk you..haha!  Put all your hard training to work and kick some A$$!!!!!!!!  

What he said - minus the stalking part!!! 

7 more minutes till the stalking mode begins!!!!  Too bad there isn't a webcam to go along with it!!  I'll bet she has a big smile right now!!!  Butterflies and smiles!

joes - 2011-10-04 11:15 AM Wilson, you do know of course, you have to actually ride it if you buy one

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah - don't worry, I'll ride it!!   Glad all you guys liked the bike porn...The hard part is finding the bike in my size that I can ride it locally.....The first place I went to ride the Cannondale only had a very small size and 2 women's bikes...boooooo....I need a 58 - maybe a 60 so it's gonna be hard to find those 4 models available in my size......dunno.  May have to go to Chicago to one of the big bike stores and see if I can do better up there...Maybe Alex knows some places that would be good.  I have lots of time and I'm not in a big hurry.

Wilson, I ADORE my LBS: Get a Grip Cycles, over on Irving Park Road. The guys there know their stuff, are ALWAYS helpful, won't sell you stuff you don't need, and do professional fittings. Bought both my roadies there, and they're just fantastic. I recommend them HUGELY!!

GO TAMMY GO!!! *cheers like crazy*

Wilson, that is one AWESOME bike! So glad you got exactly what you wanted-- hope you and she have a long and fabulous relationship-- does she have a name yet?

Utterly INSANE week here-- but the upshot is that I had a blast at an audition Wednesday night and got the part the next day! Totally psyched-- it's for a staged reading of a brand-new play, and the play itself rocks. First rehearsal is tonight!

OK, I've updated my logs but have also been a total slug today, so will go off to get some lunch and then mark some papers before biking to nowhere. Then off to rehearsal I go, high ho!

Hope you're all having excellent weekends!

It's done! 4:42: something according to Garmin; will post it tomorrow. The course looked a lot hillier in person than it did on paper! Next time I do a first marathon, I'll be smart enough to pick a FLAT course! I feel good about how I did; only walked a few steps at the water stops so I could drink without dousing myself, and my fastest 5K split was the LAST one! It was a really fun race; the course was just as scenic as I thought it would be; Union square to Fisherman's Wharf, up past the Golden Gate Bridge, down the coast and through Golden Gate Park, down further and around Lake Merced, then back up the coast to the finish. It was overcast and cool (60s), really perfect for running. Afterward, I stopped by the hotel just long enough to clean up, headed to the airport, and got right on a flight. Was home in time for a celebration dinner at Outback with the family- the perfect ending to my day! 

Thanks all for your support- I thought about you often out there and it helped me keep chuggin' along when things started to hurt!

Hey Alex - I don't have a name yet - not sure if I will.  I need to ride it a little more to understand the bike's personality.  I'll tell you that she can handle being spit on and cursed at...Yesterday she heard many bad words and some prayers about the wind..haha

Congrats on getting the part you wanted - and so quick at that!!!  Awesome for you and I really hope you enjoy the whole process and continue the enthusiasm to the final night!!  You'll have to let us know when the performances are - my wife has been wanted to goto Chicago for a weekend around Christmas.

Peggy just for the record - YOU ARE CRAZY to join these marathon weirdos....eeekkk... I'm in awe of such dedication and not worthy!!!!  Maybe if I ever weigh 180lbs I would try it....that would be 40 more to lose....which I'm gunna try to do so I can get faster...Figure that is the cheapest speed enhancer!!!

To answer your question, very SLOWLY! It hurts to move, but when I sit, everything stiffens up! 

Here's my iPhone version of the finish line pic- those hunks are SF firefighters!

Look at you!!!  All smiles and living large!! haha...not sure if you're happy cuz you just ran 26.2 miles and lived to tell....and posted a really good time or the firefighters have their hands on your arse....dunno, maybe it's a little of both - but then again - nice girls don't tell!!!! haha
