Mad Manatees Mentor Group - VERY CLOSED!!! Sorry! (Page 63)

Darn it, Manatees, I found argyle compression socks.  They are super cute!  Pink, grey, and black.

I must say that Sufferfest is the most grueling workouts I have ever done. I have done Insanity and some days I hope on the bike I almost prefer a round of Insanity. In all of my races or training or anything else these thoroughly kick my butt.

I am still amazed I knocked out a video followed by a little run last night. Gonna do it again in the coming week(s)

I am afraid to try sufferfest....

I must needs haz them!!! Definitely beat my purple and grey knee woolens (which are, however, VERY warm even wet).

When I got my tri bike, I put a Cobb on it.  I loved it so much that I got another one and put it on my road bike.  I have the V-Flow Plus on both of them.

Oh goody, you're here! I'm waiting with bated breath.

I have The Stick and that is good as well.  I got it because it takes very little space in luggage.  I actually like the foam roller better. 

What are you trying to get at?  Maybe we can give you some pointers.

Not dumb at all.  I've had guys do that on the bike.  Guys are weird, present company excluded.

I use a softball for very localized buttock/quad related issues. My wife frowns when I pull out the rolling pin, but I have only used it for beta testing at this point.

ETA: The softball I use is actually a pitching trainer ball. It is a fairly firm rubber ball with a fabric covering. It is awesome. If I can find a pic, I'll post it, as I think it is rather useful.

I take no offense. The male sub-species can be challenging at times. However, the female of the species is not always a treat. I'm going no further than that, we are all interesting in many ways

I think I would have been insulted to be excluded from weird. It's taken many years to hone my craft to this level of extragalactic weirdness.

This week we have four (4) Racing Manatees!

Since we had some weather commentary, forecasts are included.

Go Racing Manatees!

YAAAY the Manatee Racing Report is here! Thanks, Janyne!

KEEP GOING, KATE!!!

GO BADGER JEN MOOSE!!! {MELON PRESS} healing for your toe!

GO MELANIE!!!

GO JO!!!

Yep, I was reading all that thinking that was fine, a little chilly on the 60 end but no biggie HOLY HELL BATMAN 23mph WIND!!! That does NOT bode well for IMNZ! However, Jo is a stellar fishie and lots of run experience so you'll be right as rain even in rain.

Speaking of weather, dang! The vast majority of my home"town" Jakarta is under water ... it's normal to have some bad flooding during the rainy season but not most of the city all at once! My folks are fine, their house (which was designed by the truly mindblowing inimitable Mutti) is built a meter up from its land, the base of which is nearly a meter up from the road as well. And my dad has a big-azz SUV which ploughs quite nicely through water (don't ask how I know this). In any case, they're fine and mobile with all supply lines solid.

The last time Jakarta REALLY flooded--I think it was in the mid-'90s--my dad got around in a Zodiac boat and by helicopter. Heh. He's a little less mobile now than then, though.

Ah can't change it now, may as well not regret it! Sleep is good, too!

You probably don't need any clues about my feelings about swimming in cold weather.

4agoodlife - 2013-01-18 10:57 PM Two hour's sleep (DH coughed all night and I feel bad that he is sick, but ugh!!!) and my inlaws get here for their four week visit today...which means I need to clean up house. So I'm thinking happy thoughts and making LOTS of coffee. And going to use the computer to read what's going on because my eyes are too tired to see my phone.

Oh, wow. I mean, on the scale of quality problems--that actually really is awful!

I can't deal with sleeping snorers and coughers--I snuff them out. And in-laws?!?! AAAAAAAARGH ... actually, I've always had fantastic SO parents (except for the Naked Family), but four weeks. Yikes. You need a {MELON PRESS} and that coffee, pronto.
