Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 68)

Thanks Jo, your timing is impeccable. I bailed on my run this morning. So, it seems that my challenge to myself will be either running OR if Judi posts something swim related, I may take her up on that. I need as much swim motivation as possible. I'll have to give it a little thought.

It's the thought that your kid is in trouble, in danger and you can't be with them.  That's what you want.  The teachers are heroes from what I'm reading.  Thankful for those saved, heartbroken for those lost.

I liked the 30 days of 30+ minutes thing that we did before. 

I see no reason to wait until June 1.

REVISED JOGO MANATEE CHALLENGE!!!!  PLEASE READ!!  

I am so sorry.  It has been so long that I forgot that part of the challenge.  So forget what I posted as picking a "thing" to be challenged.   It doesn't matter if you swim, bike, run, walk, yoga, zumba, whatever...the challenge is 30 days of 30+ minutes of anything that is mindfully active.  What do I mean by that?  It means that walking to the mailbox, like you do every day, does not count.  It has to be something that is off the couch (you can do something like yoga or walking even on a rest day) EVERY DAY!!!

Who is in for the 30 days of 30+ minutes?   Come one, come all!!   There is no thought process.  We will start as soon as I get a list together of who is in.   You can do this on vacation, over holidays.  Let's do this!  It is only 30 minutes per day!!  

Who is in this with me and Jayne?

Ok, a little blatant brag, I'm sorry!

This will more than likely be temporary, but I am still pretty excited. 5th fasted 25-29F marathon in the state:

Holy Salznitz. And it's not like you're in Rhode Island.

hey, is the site still moving slowly for most? like, longer to post, bring up pages, etc.

it's interminably slow over here

Cuts, bruises, stitches, they all seem to be part of mountain biking.  I've only recently graduated to 'big girl' pedals on my MTB, used to use platforms with cages until I caved into peer pressure and the realization that it is a little silly to be afraid of clipless when I only use them on my other bikes.  I set them much looser than my road and tri bike, of course and am still getting used to using them (read: gaining more confidence in) on the more gnarly stuff.  Still a little chicken on the really rocky, rooty stuff but I really shouldn't be.  It might be my lingering lack of courage due to the stitches I received a few years ago, but man was I fearless on the thing before that!  Sorry, maybe I'm not really helping.  Go ride, go have fun!!

Yeah, to make myself feel a little better KC is a pro and pretty much all of them are post-collegiate runners in my running group. 

But I've got some work to do. 

This'd be true whether you were in the #1 or #10,000 spot.

Also, as you know, marathon times aren't particularly comparable across courses or even the same course on different days (they're just somewhat more comparable in that case).
