ASPHALT JUNKIES Summer Bronzing Crew - CLOSED (Page 7)

Hi Gang!   Glad I'm not the only one still learning this new site.   For some reason I'm not getting email updates any more, although I've checked the toggle button.   At first I thought you were all just quiet over the last few days, but NO, 5 pages of reading later and I'm all caught up.   Glad I was able to keep the cool stuff that I'd just learned how to do, though. 

Welcome Derek!   It's nice to have an international flavor here.  Welcome Back Allison!   And Jonathan - welcome back to the world of sight.   I wondered where you went.  It was nice to finally read your bio, Tracy.  I don't think I realized before what an awesome biker you are.  Wish you were closer so I could ride with you and learn.

Good job on all the races this weekend!  Thanks for sharing your Mudder picture, Jen and thanks for explaining why you looked so clean. 

Dina - I don't use the nutrition logs.  I'd be too scared and disgusted at myself if I tracked what I ate.    I will say that I've challenged myself to cut out night time sweets and I've been pleasantly surprised that I've been doing pretty good with that.  Still, though, I snack all day long so if I added it all up, it would look like I eat a mountain of food.  It's probably something I should track, though.

It was so good to see you at the race this weekend, Dirk!  I was hoping your swim time would've been longer this year than last because mine was.  Oh well.  In case you all didn't know, Dirk is an amazing athlete and also a great guy.  He did forget his body glide, though, so he's not infallible. 

Next up I get to see Matt at Maumee Bay in a few weeks.   I WILL find you this year, Matt!  Are you just coming in for the day or are you guys camping?  I think getting in with a group to ride would do wonders for your bike fitness.  It's good to be pushed.  

Have a great weekend everyone!  I'm off to finish planting my garden before the rains come.  That's my workout for today.

My body glide isn't the only thing I forgot.  I forgot to check the air pressure in my tires too.  I had to run to the truck with my wetsuit on because I remembered about 20 minutes before the race, immediately after I zipped my wetsuit up.  It seems I forgot a couple of other minor things too, but even now I can't remember what I forgot.  Hmm?  Alzheimer's much?

Time for a run and a swim!!

I'm still learning the new site too. Somewhat frustrated as here at work I'm stuck with IE8 and many features don't seem to work, but at home with IE9 I have fewer issues.  I do miss seeing the miles logged on equipment on the right hand side of my logs.

Since we are nearing the end of the school year my schedule has been squeezed by a concert yesterday and an award ceremony tonight. A couple of shorter runs and 1/2 hour doing weights have been my only workouts so far this week. I had hoped to hit the pool and the bike both today, but we'll see how the evening goes after the ceremony.

Please excuse the following "woe is me" lament: The schedule on a work project I'm on has slipped and probably stepped on my schedule for my first olympic distance tri next month. I'm pretty bummed about it. I had hoped this would be my year for an olympic and then I'd train for my first HIM next year. Unless something changes in work schedule I may not be doing any tri's until September (when I've got sprints on consecutive weekends).

Meanwhile I'll keep training for tri as my normal workouts and hopefully something frees up where I can break away on a weekend when an olympic is happening within a couple hundred miles.

So tonight I was supposed to get a short run (4 miles) and a swim but my lazy self sat in front of the computer to long after work and I ran out of time.  I could have gotten about a 30 minute swim in but for me that wouldn't be much of a swim for me.  I'm used to an hour or maybe just short of that.

So, instead I opted to have dinner with the family and then.................................

Yep!  I have had 3 beers in 7 days.  That's about as many as I normally have in a month or maybe more than a month.  should I contact AA?
