• Erica - graduation!

Woo hoo!

rrrunner - 2012-05-02 9:12 PM I finally ordered Sheila T.'s book from Amazon.  Although I'm pretty sure that I am so hopeless it will only help me if it is waterproof and bouyant.

like it.

So I just got a travel reimbursement from work (woot!) and I decided to buy an indoor trainer. I was particularly motivated b/c I haven't been out on my bike in TWO WEEKS, partly b/c my coached class is over, partly because I went away, and partly because it's rained ALL WEEK here.  So, it seemed like the trainer was a worthy purchase. I cheaped out and bought a RAD on Amazon, but I figure if it sucks or breaks, Amazon is really good about returns.  Now, what do people do for workouts? I've heard about those Spinervals, but I was thinking I'd like to watch my DRV'd TV shows that hubby won't watch (e.g., The Voice and Mad Men).  Should I try to set up an interval workout on my Garmin and have it beep at me?

Other question - I've got enough cash left over for one of two things: 100,000 tune up on my car, or wetsuit.  Hmmm, I know what I should do, but then there's what I'd RATHER do

I wrote the blurbs for a bunch of those!

Idiot me ... I could have all the DVDs I wanted and I just gave them away. Well, I lived in SoCal ... it never occurred to me that I'd move back to Indonesia and do most of my biking indoors.

Brie, a simple thing to do is ride steady on the program, and kick it up a notch for the commercials. You can also play with the gears and create "hills" and such. Do you have a BT membership? (I need to check) Many of the training programs have detailed bike workouts.

Yup, I've got the Gold, so all of my bike workouts have details.  I've been doing so much coached workouts that I haven't really followed my training plan details, but that is an excellent idea - thanks! I just hope I don't regret cheaping out on the trainer. It had pretty good reviews on Amazon...

That's a bummer your duathlon cancelled.  I wonder why?  Hurry up and sign up for a 5k.  I bet there are a lot of 5k races in your area.  It's not a triathlon or duathlon, but at least it's a race to get your competitive juices flowing.  

Thanks guys for all the inspires.  I'm looking forward to my HM tomorrow.  Right now the weather is scattered thunderstorms, mid 60s to start with 80% humidity.  I love the mid 60s part.  

Sending good vibes to all the racers this weekend!!!

You sound like you're feeling a bit better ... and rumor has it you are spearheading the social efforts

GOOO CLAIRE!

Mini Indy...is that the one where you get to run around the track? 

Have a great race! I'll be thinkin' of ya!

Now thats corny. and we have lots of racers this weekend doing all sorts of stuff.

GO MANATEES. YIP YIP YIP

IS MAY LONG ENOUGH???

"All Better" is likely to be ... hmmm carry the two, multiply by log e ... shake the Magic 8 ball ... mid to late July.

Sheila hath spoken.

HAVEN'T YOU FORGOT SOMEONE JANYNE??

I THOUGHT JMKIZER  (whoever she is) HAD SOME SORT OF RAMBLE GOING OFF ON SUNDAY?

And yes I'm gonna go all Star Wars...  May the 4th be with you!

My crystal balls thought the same

WHOA

One seriously HUGE RAMBLE!!!! On a bicycle, no less. Damn. That is a long way to DRIVE ...

GO JANYNE!!!

Those must cause a burdensome amount of drag in the water!  And I can't even imagine how they must feel after too much T.I.T.S....

count me in chick. If you are running this, it will be good for a laugh.  think i will pick something swimming related cos i am bad/scared of it. ooh, ooh, can i also add being mean to Salty cos i like it.

Must look awfully strange when you are looking into them it too...

You certainly may. But you must be mean in a motivating, Harden the Frog Up type of way.

I use a wheelbarrow. In the pool. No wonder my times are slow. 

I have no idea what T.I.T.S is/are (really! please tell me). But i could have sworn i disconnected my bedroom cam so you shouldn't have any idea how sore they got.
