Holiday Knockers (Page 7)

If you check out my friends wheel, the entire top segment is BT folks.  I have started a collection.

Alrighty folks

I'm out.  As previously mentioned, I put my assignments off until the morning they are due.  That leaves 2+ assignments to do in the morning.  And I can't forget the run.  I think that I will get up at 3:30 am, put on my running stuff, head to Denny's, study while eating a couple of eggs, and then head to school for my morning run and class.

Anyone want to join me???

It is a good think I am on the west coast-3:30 isn't quite as soon for me as it is for some of you.
 

I hear ya on the time diff ~ being in Hawaii, I always feel like I'm a day behind since I don't get to put in my work outs until this time of night (usually after 9pm) which is midnight for the west coast!  I always stop in the morns but then I'm sitting here drinking my coffee while ya'll are done working out and at work!

Anyways...this has nothing to do with this challenge but I got on the elliptical tonight for about 40 mins.  I'm starting to feel yesterdays strength work out in my arms which is sooo not good since I have to do my push up exhaustion test tomorrow for another challenge!  I'll just guzzle lots of water and suck it up, right?!

Morning! 

A big {{{Knocker Knock}}} for each and every one of you.

I'm headed out tackle my homework and get in my moonlit run. 

See ya

My name is Nicole. You missed my Monday run: actual challenge miles!

Today was another non-run day. On the plus side I didn't fall off the rollers! (hold your applause!)

Hi Nicole...sorry I missed your run.  

I wonder if I would be able to stay on rollers?  I need to decide whether to purchase trainer or rollers.  Any suggestions 

A trainer allows you to grind out miles but rollers allow/force you to improve your technique. Rollers improve your balance and your pedaling smoothness; unfortunately, they are a bit nerve racking and are occasionally dangerous when you lose concentration or balance (I've come very close to hurting myself on more than one occasion). I bought a trainer first and used it for years. I still use it when I don't want the "stress" of roller riding or I want to get used to a new position on the bike (I've never tried using my aero bars on the rollers).

Someone needs to put a foot in my azz, cause i feel fat and lazy this week.

 I will be swimming tonight, so that will be my first point for this week.

No i am just plain nucking futz, have always been, I was never "normal"  and it is getting worse the older i get, and the more i hang out here on this site.

Welcome to the team!!!

Slacker!  As soon as class is out I am going to knock you upside the head! And I won't be using Holiday knockers...

Obviously, my dad thought I was nuts to start triathlon (see my quote line). He died before I did my first but I sometimes think "Take that" after a race (yes, I have some unresolved hostilities )

Melissa, I can watch TV while I ride the rollers as long as the tv is directly in front of me so that I'm pedaling straight towards it; I doubt I could read a book.

jenni4 - 2008-12-03 7:48 AM Man, am I still feeling that strength session from yesterday. Not much time to chat. I promise I'll be more chatty next week. This is the last week of classes so I'm super busy, but I'll be done with finals by this time next week If your on facebook, add me as a (search for Jennifer Seals Cooper). Catch ya all later

I can feel a bit of soreness from the running I've been doing.  I am determined to get my mile back to six minutes, but not on my current route-it is too hilly.  I  mapped my loop-t-loop route on the school campus and, depending on how I take the corners, it is exactly a mile.

I ran one loop this morning pushing it a bit.  My time was 8:29! I run the West and North sides of the upper lots, down the road to the lower lot and across the the south edge, down the East hill to the...I guess that you don't need all the details.  Anyways, there is quite a bit of elevation change.  What I don't like is that some of the sidewalks are in bad condition and, to prevent injury, I need to slow down a bit.

I am the first person in my extended family to take up Tris.  I love it and I am sure I will try to convert everyone else.

It is really sad that my dad is declining so rapidly-He has multiple systems atrophy and a max of 5 years left.  The way he is taking care of himself it he could pass much sooner.

Anyway-he was athletic and always encouraged me to swim, bike, and run.  It would have been awesome to do some tris with him.  At this point he shouldn't even be trying to walk-but he refuses to use a wheelchair and will rarely use his walker.  He is is at least 80lbs over weight right now.

Just had t work too much to chat today. I am sorry about your dad. I miss mine, he was teaching me to fly fish when he passed away. Now I am supposed to go for a run, take care of the dogs needs, go out to dinner then pick up DH at the airport!!!!

See ya tomorrow. 

Hey all! I just joined the challenge and got the BEST TEAM!!!!  How lucky is that?

My goal is 16 "workouts" of my Physical Therapy exercises. Long story short - I have a cycling issue, these simple little exercises will help, and yet I can't seem to do them with any regularity.

My trainer is exasperated that I will "do homework for complete online strangers but not for him." He refers to my managing to do all of October's and November's challenge stuff but not my PT. I told him that you guys weren't ALL strange and that I couldn't go around with my blog saying I was a loser.

So... best of both worlds, my PT is now the challenge. Can't let all y'all down, now can I?  

Knocker press, Yanti!

Mike i see a common theme here, i am 0-fer three as well, i think you are right, this is the one!!!!!

My first Bottomage of the new Team!!!  All pile on, Fat Guy on Bottom!!!!
