Pro  4482    NJ |  Subject: RE: Bike it to the MAX in June Ghoulies!!!Morning everyone! I had an epic fail at an attempted run last night. It was 93* and humid. Started out and just gave it up before I got even a mile out. Turned around and went home. Grrrrrrr. So, I will be running in the mornings with Ann. However, I'll be getting up at 4:45 and out the door at 5am as I don't get to the office until 8 or 8:30 most days. |

Pro 4482 NJ | Subject: RE: Bike it to the MAX in June Ghoulies!!! Question for the group.....Anyone have an espresso/latte machine that they really like and would recommend? I was a diet coke drinker most of my life and went cold turkey off that carp a few years ago. I'm still mostly caffeine free (vanilla gu's don't count) but have started to develop a decaf latte habit that is getting to be expensive. Am thinking I need to home brew/steam but not sure what to buy. |

The past few evenings there was NO WAY I would have been able to run with the heat and humidity. It is supposed to be mid 90's here today and they are calling for severe storms this afternoon with high winds and hail possible. I don't have to worry about it because I already have my run in for the day. Do you eat, or plan on eating anything that early in the morning? I just have a little water and out the door I go. When my runs get a little longer in the mornings I will probably need something. |

Am thinking I need to home brew/steam but not sure what to buy. My BFF has an AWESOME one, does the grinding and everything, but it costs around a grand. That's more than I wanted to spend. I like the one I have, I'll check what it is tonight and let you know. |

A couple hundred would be on the high end, although since I've been *treating* myself 2 or 3 times a week lately it will pay for itself fairly quickly. |

Wooowww...Wonder what will happen tomorrow? Crazy crazy crazy. At one point they were comparing it to doing an Ironman! Haha. Except they get 19 hours of rest in between 5 hours of play each day. No comparison. |

When my runs get a little longer in the mornings I will probably need something. I usually just have a vanilla gu and 16 oz or so of water when I get up and that's it. When I did my HM training, I was fine for up to 5 miles on that. On longer runs on the weekends I typically have some toast or something light when I get up and then a gu just before going out. When the weekday runs start to get longer, I'll probably just carry another gu to suck down after 5 miles or so. |

Found some photos from the weekend...I swear I'm just this crazy stocky chick..haha...I want to be dainty!  Ha!You are a crazy PAM and don't you forget it! I still want to be dainty! (harumph.!)My friend just messaged me this: you are fast, if you wanted to be small you should have just skipped the whole ironman thing and done weight watchers... Haha. Woe is me. Is that where we all went wrong? LOL Apparently...Haha. Big and healthy is WAY better than small and unhealthy! Let me remind you... I have thunder thighs And that's a compliment Because they are strong and toned and muscular and though they are unwelcome in the petite section they are cheered on in marathons thirty years from now I'll bounce a grandchild on my thunder thighs and then I'll go out for a run just do it AND My shoulders aren't dainty or proportional to my hips some say they are like a man's I say, leave men out of it They are mine I made them In a swimming pool Then I went to yoga and made my arms just do it Nicely said! Wish my doctor would agree. And my bloodwork. sigh... |

And well I kinda like hanging out with them and nottrainingquitesomuch....so can I get away with maybe not swimming and cut back the training hours there? (I figure I can get away with that one??? hmmm) |

Oh, and if you're going to cut any training out, might as well cut out your strongest sport and the one that needs the least training for a HIM. |
