Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 72)

Hmmmm, so my thoughts are that you would have to put a lot of honey in there in order for it to taste "sweet"

Hmmmm, so my thoughts are that you would have to put a lot of honey in there in order for it to taste "sweet"

Really? I like honey in my coffee--doesn't seem to take too much, not any more than sugar, which I very rarely have with coffee anymore, unless it's right before a long session.

I've never felt honey disburses well and gives an over all sweeter taste to things the way sugar does. 

But I can do without. I like the cinnamon! Especially if you put it with your ground beans in the French press. Mmmm!

Okay. I'm in for the 30 min/day Jogo Challenge.

I feel so out of touch lately, but final grades are in, my assessment reports are finished (for now -- more to do on Thursday when I get information from others). Today is the little boys' last day of school (out at 11:30 a.m.). Number One son gets back from his Oregon/Washington visit tomorrow at 11 a.m. And Dairy Land is open!!! Summer is officially beginning in my house this week.

So there's this 10k trail run that I have wanted to do for years. They run a 28 mile bike ride at the same time, and I usually do that, but this year, I'm thinking of taking my bike up with me, running the 10k, and then biking for a couple hours on some hills. Please tell me to DOOO  EEET (or however you spell it.)

Here's the description:

“The course includes roadways, rolling native grassland, cowboys, the famed Suicide Hill, and start/finish on Main Street. This course is as beautiful as it is demanding and it brings out the best in runners each year.”

I think I'm turning into Mutti--my short term memory is shot. Apparently that's pretty common in stressful times. Brain's too busy buzzing.

That's just to say I was served a delicious frothy coffee the other day sprinkled with cinnamon--even without any sweetening, udderly delicious. I just can't for the life of me remember where, when, nor whom I was with, if anyone.

Anyone else?

DOOO EEET!!!!

Sorry, what's the challenge?

Here's the official JoGo description:  "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!!!"

 I asked the (dumb) two-piece swimsuit questions.

Anyone have experience with more of a tri bra top? 

I am not a huge fan of traditional trip tops and I think I may melt in one in WI summer. In Seattle I just had tri shorts and a sports bra under the wetsuit then threw on a regular tank top after the swim. I wasn't concerned with transition time but it was notably difficult to get on while I was wet.

I guess I could skip a "tri-bra" altogether and just do a regular sports bra ... I'm thinking "aloud" chime in if you have advice.

Wacha stressin' bout?

Oh, sure, I'm in!

No reason that you can't do the tri-bra thing.

I have a singlet that is kind of like a tank top that would work if you wanted to go that route.  I'll tell you right now that while I love the cut, I don't love the fabric as much. I use it a lot for indoor bricks in the winter (can shove my nano in the pocket).

BT's already stretching its bandwidth ... the list of what I'm not is much shorter.

Trying not to stress about things I can't do anything about right at this moment. So, it's not too bad, right at this moment.

Ohh, so ... is it more made to get wet then? Like tri top material?

Is a tri-bra gonna cause cleavage-drag vs a zipped up tri top? Does it matter? Cleavage-drag, that IS a serious question even.

I've had some horrible bra cleavage drag. Best to try it out first.

Never mind a zip-up tri top. Get a tight shortie like all the fast girls wear:

That looks like the perfect equation for muffin top to me ...

You don't have muffin top, you silly wench.

Even I don't have muffin top and I'm pretty muffiny.
