mosc11's Group - FULL (Page 7)

Sure, I say welcome!

Does anybody have any advice about heart rate monitors?  I'm thinking about getting one, but there are so many choices, I don't know where to start.

Yes, let her in! (I agree that it works out better if she has lots of minutes )

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

I got a job!!!  Yay!  I start on Tuesday.  I've been looking for a job for over 6 months now.  Finally!!  I'll be an adoption counselor.

The only downside is my minutes may suffer a little. 

i'll ask around about the heart monitor a few of my friends here use them, i'm looking for a reliable one that you just need on your wrist, no chest strap, for my mom.  so i will get back to you on that.

congrats on the job...so exciting and what rewarding work, giving kids a loving home!

but that puts everyone else on alert here that you could close in on karen for the MVP $10 gift card, HA HA

end kristen you beat me to veteran status, i think this makes my 100th 

hey everybody!  hope you are all doing well!  it has been crazy bust here so sorry for the lack of inspires and notes here on the thread.

just wanted you all to know that on march 10th, i am organizing a talk given by  an ironman florida finisher.  she is a police officer with my husband and is speaking to a group of family and friends that will be completing their first tri this september.  ( i guess you could call them my local mentor group)  anyway i was just wondering if you had any questions you would like to ask her, i could then post then\ answers here.  sorry i am not high tech enough to offer a a web cast or something, i can't even figure out how to create links to your training logs!  it was just a thought, she is a great resource and competes in over 7 tris a season, has sponsors and everything.  (the funny thing is that my husband didn't tell me all of this until AFTER my first tri....men)

only a little over a week left in the challenge so if you haven't posted all your minutes yet, lets get on that.  consistency has been the key here ladies so lets keep up the GREAT work. 

and re links to your mentees: i bet if you ask jenbunn1e, she'll set up a table for you, that's how i got mine.

and re the challenge: its gonna go down to the wire i think, you guys have been great competition and many of my group say if it weren't for this challenge, they'd have been slugs this winter, so THANKS!

CONGRATULATIONS on registering for your FIRST tri!  i see many more in your future.  you will do so great and rock them in the water.

i myself am struggling with the whole balancing work, life and training.  when i did my first tri last summer i wasn't employed outside the home and my bosses were 3 years old and 8 months!

you all have done so wonderful!  that other person never contacted me to join our group so it will just be an average of the minutes.  lets finish strong and definitely proud! 

welcome to MARCH!  the challenge is officially over and you all must join me in an after challenge stretch.  raise you right arm directly over you head , then bend at the elbow, find a nice spot on your back and start patting!  you all did an amazing job.  got moving and stayed moving!

Mindy...you posted minutes 25 out of 28 days not to mention figuring out your stroke and improving your swim!

Kristen...you had minutes posted 26 out of 28 days became confidant in the water, no more "swim like a rock" and registered for your first tri!

Brenda...21 days of minutes for you which included 8 hours on the bike trainer.  guess you will need to go back to your original post and cross off "i just die on the bike"

Lachele...22 minute filled days and doubling your run time from january and you may also cross off your nervous about swimming comment!

Karen...27 days of minutes and new job to boot! you even took your hurt leg out for a run.  you were our MVP with 2680 minutes!

i don't know as of now how we did on the challenge but seriously after all those wonderful highlights does it matter?  i will post the final spreadsheet and i want you all to print it out and put it on you refrigerators with a GOLD STAR! 

hey there! great challenge - congrats to all of you for getting moving this month.
