skrtrnr - 2009-10-15 11:46 AM the HALLOWEENY ones i wore today arent even cycling socks, they are just a pair of crew socks that i picked up at WalMart....

i just needed a little pick me up to get my arse to the Y....the did the trick.

and i spun faster, i just know it. 

stacieb

ok...now Im scared! spinning along is deadly to me! I almost killed myself at the one spin class I took - dont ever try and coast when you are at a high cadence ~ standing and pumping on the pedals...NOPE...not a good thing to do - to try and coast! I ALMOST WENT A FLYING OVER THE HANDLEBARS! not good!!!!

...went back for second try at it and had a little better luck...but again...I have the weather and prefer to ride outside to get my spinning done! and my hat is off to you and any of you who spin regularly!!!! Honestly...you guys rock!!!

iowagander - 2009-10-14 10:41 PM I finally bit the bullet and signed up for the Carlsbad Half Marathon on Jan 24th! I'm very excited because this has been a goal of mine for a while now, but I'm nervous because my longest recorded run so far is about 6.5 miles. At least this will give me a good excuse to KEEP TRAINING over the holidays. I'm still eating copious amounts of candied yams at Thanksgiving though. Avoiding those would be sacrilege.

you will do fine!!!! I promise you! Dont know the course and if it is hilly or not...but just keep doing what your doing....did you start the Hal Higden HM plan? let me know if you need a link! I find he really helped me to get ready. You are soooo gonna be ready by the end of January! CONGRATS FOR SIGNING UP!!!!

I'd loveto have the link! I am going to do the SLC HM in April, and a bunch of girls from my work are doing it, too. I have been involuntarily volunteered to find a training plan for us all to follow together

skrtrnr - 2009-10-15 2:27 PM oh well, i might not be the sharpest crayon in the box...but manohman i sure do have the coolest HALLOWEENY SOCKS that make me spin real fast. 

Stacie, have you ever bought socks from "SockGuy?"  I have some cool "Bad Kitty" and "Pirate skull & crossbone" socks.  I always feel like a BadA$$ when I wear them.

www.sockguy.com

They are great cycling socks!  I have a couple pair and they last!



what's on the side of your socks?  (or is that on the top??  im not sure when it comes to socks??)


i usually wear smart wool to run/ride in.  they keep my feet cool when its hot and hot when its cold. 

isnt that just MAGICAL??

how do they do that? 

just the plainjane ones, black.

stacieb


I really like my Bad Kitty socks.  Cat Face with cross bones and Bad Kitty written on the sole.  Plus they are pink, so they are "girly bad."  When I'm biking I like to wear the ones that say BikerChick with a picture of a yellow chick.

BTW, love smart wool socks as well!  Wear them year round.


I love smart wool too!  but I wear them more for just daily wear! Personally for running socks I am a Balega girl.

balega?????

im intrigued...

please tell me more!

Thank for all the well wishes. The pulmonologist says that the airway inflammation just got out of control the last few weeks, and the fact that my boy wasn't on any of his preventive meds for the fall yet didn't help. Oh, and we took too long getting in to the doc for the first round of steroids. (oops). His pulmonary function testing looks good, he does have some residual small airway constriction that is alleviated by albuterol dosing. So, we are staying the course, two preventive meds, a pre-prescribed steroid for early dosing if he starts to flare, plus breakthrough albuterol, and trying to convince this headstrong 7 year old that he needs to keep using his inhaler before recess, even if he feels ok. The turkey. 

I have no idea where he gets his stubbornness.

Glad he's ok! sure it was a weight taken off of your back! durn kids, never want to listen to you or the doctors...but hoping that he realizes its for his own good!!!

Hey Jules.  Beaver is right over the hill from me...i live in Cranberry Township.

im glad that you found PGH to be lovely.  it truly has come a long way....and has gone through multiple transformations.

ive lived here my entire life...i grew up in the North Hills/McCandless Township/suburbs north of the city.

what took your husband out of the area?  a lot of people who have grown up here, leave at some point, usually before kids, for school, jobs et al., but then meander they're way back 'home'

Hi team!

Just a drive-by to say:

After crawling around under the house, installing heat tape and wrapping the pipes in insulation, we should be able to have water for a few more weeks.  Too early for temps in the 20s.  Now just keeping our fingers crossed that we close on the new house when we're supposed to.

I'm making coconut shrimp with pineapple salsa for dinner. 

Get out there and run!  (I am going out to do yesterday's run tonight, since I never got to it yesterday during the water crisis.)

Go team!

these states:

Alaska

Arizona

New Mexico

California

Almost Washington on Oregon Coast

South Dakota

Wyoming

Utah

Colorado

Louisianna...

and my mind can t think of the others...

was great while I was young...but makes me really tired to think of moving like we did back then!
