Oh, yeah - don't forget TOPpage!

wanna fill me in on what im doing wrong? 

Well, first of all -- notice Phil's post count: 14431 (and climbing higher every minute).

Do you realllllllly think that all 14431 posts were MEANINGFUL and SIGNIFICANT????

So, how exactly did Phil achieve this HIGH POST COUNT???

Well, it was by mastering the fine art of POST PADDING!

That's right -- there are actually some people on BT who write meaningless posts, thereby inflating their post count. Do you believe the nerve of these people?

ahhhhhh.  i see.

i consider my posts to be ALWAYS

MEANINGFUL AND SIGNIFICANT.

so i guess he has me beat in that regard.

my bro and i would figure out where it was, and then she'd move it.

damn her. 

ebshot - 2009-03-21 7:24 AM Hey peeps!  Just a quick hello and good morning to you all.  Good luck to Jen in her du today!  Knock them dead!   Got a two hour bike on tap and lots of family stuff for today.  Good times!  Have a peachy day today guys!

you ARE getting that long bike ride in.

i knew you would.

GOOD GOIN'

well hello there TRPs.

JENN.  report in when you can, im anxious to hear how your race went.

and TEAM!

i just finished up a 48 min run w the club from the Y, WHAT a great bunch of women.  ALL!

and then i hit the pool afterwards 48 min swim.  at first my legs felt a bit 'heavy' my guess from the run and all the cycling i did this week, but halfway through i felt in groove

anyone else need a long time before the 'warm up' in the water...

for me it seems like a good 500-1000 yds until im feeling in the groove.

its all good.

being able to do my run AND swim today, it opens up tomorrow to hopefully get a jump on my week/MS mileage....

w the changes we made to the plan, its not nearly as daunting a task.

the weather is supposed to cooperate, so ill be heading out to ride sometime in the afternoon. 

got to get out while the gettins good.

HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!

LOL, again with the "8"s. These days, by the time I hit 1000 yds in the pool, I'm about done. (Someday, I really should get that shoulder looked at. But they want to do a MRI, and it's soooo expensive. So, instead, I just reduce my swimming until it's below the "pain threshold."

But then you're cutting yourself short on your endurance and such.  Get that shoulder looked at.

Dee!  You need to get it looked at!!  It's been hurting for so long.

I'm trying to do some work, but that's not going that well.  I want to take a nap.  Maybe I should make some coffee.

Going to bike at some point today.

oh dear.  shoulder pain is NO fun.

i used to have trouble w my right shoulder, but as soon as all three of my kids were old enough that i didnt have to carry them anymore, the pain went away...

and i hear you on the expense of medical Tx/tests/whatnot. 

i had an atrophied rt quad muscle, and as much as i would have loved to continue to rehab it as much as it needed - probably a good 3-6-9 mos to get it up to snuff -  it was just too costly.

it was a 'pre-exsisting' condition, i didnt injure myself - the PT that i went to see just for a chk over before i did my 1/2 discovered the atrophy - so it wasnt something i could get approved/covered.

it was impacting anything/daily life. 

health insurance is nice when it benefits you, but SUCKS when it doesnt cover something at all or doesnt cover much of the cost.

must be frustrating esp when you have goals that you want to reach....

how long you goin for?

Training plan says 1h15m, so I'm going to try to do that as much of that as I can.  It's a little chilly here for me to want to ride outside (yes, I am a wimp now), so I'll just do it on the trainer.  Plus, that gives me some more flexibility as to when I do it.

I guess I'm a wimp too cause I did my 2 hours on the trainer.  It was just a bit too chilly this morning for me. I will suck it up and ride outside tomorrow morning though.  I can only handle so much trainer time!

ebshot - 2009-03-21 4:21 PM Jen is back from her du.  Go to her logs check her logs to see how she did!

Thanks for the heads up.

CONGRATULATIONS, JEN!!!

Um...I can't call you a wimp.  I looked at the weather in your area and it's 39 there!  No way would I ride outside!  It's 52 here, which can be warm enough to ride in outside.  I'm just being lazy and not digging out all the warm clothes.

Hmmm...my avatar picture isn't loading anymore!  What's up with that?

NM...now it's working.  Fickle buttercup.

Jen, that's a heatwave right now for us and is nice training weather.  I'll take that over a below-zero day, which I have trained in.  Ya just have to layer real gooden.

I know.  After almost 5 years in Virginia, I'm a total wimp when it comes to the cold.  My parents always laugh at me when I go home (Brookfield) for Christmas.

Hi My Friends!

I finished my du. Wow, what a day. Won my age group! Yea. Not that there was a ton of competition for the ladies (but lots of men though, yea baby!). Hard work, but worth the effort, my race report is posted. You all have been so supportive, what a great group of people! Now, some rest and more food.

Bringing home the hardware!!  Great job!
