Bike it to the MAX in June Ghoulies!!! (Page 75)

ironannekidd - 2010-06-28 6:01 AM Nice pictures Neal!

For the record Funyuns are an essential food when you are in college. I don't know if I've eaten them much since I've been out though.

I was out of it yesterday after my run. I just felt like I couldn't get cool. I stayed in the house in the A/C the rest of the day, but I was just hot. I took my temp twice and I had a slight fever. Not sure if I'm brewing something or it was just because of my long run in the heat. I couldn't bring myself to take an ice bath, but I did take a cool shower when I got back.

I feel better today, so who knows.

iowagander - 2010-06-27 5:16 PM Hey Ghoulies! After many months of waiting, Tom is a triathlete!!!! I had a great race today and it was even more enjoyable than I thought it would be. I finished in 1:22:43 (500m, 20k, 6k, 3/9 in the Clyde division) but they haven't posted splits yet. Once I do, the RR will be up.

THANK YOU to all of you for all of the support, advice, and juju over the last 8 months. You're all incredible, and this race was made even better knowing I had you guys to share it with. I hope you are all having a great weekend!

kcarroll - 2010-06-28 7:46 AM Morning Ghouls!  Happy Monday.  HA!  Nice pics Neal.  For the record, I do not think I have ever had a Funyun.  Ann, hope you stay cool today.  I ran this morning and it was a steambath even at 5:30.

YIKES!

We are supposed to have a cool front move through and the middle of the week it is only to be in the 70's. I can't wait!

Thank goodness.  I don't think I could manage this heat for every run this summer.  I guess I've gone a bit soft.

I need coffee. Stat.

(Just coffee, not "coffee"...I would like to be in bed..I guess...)

I'm becoming dependent...oh no...I've avoided it for so long...

ironannekidd - 2010-06-28 8:53 AM

Can you get coffee via an I.V.?

mndymond - 2010-06-28 10:58 AM So I was randomly thinking about this the other day:

I wonder if med school would allow me to do a "sports med" elective in Hawaii for Kona? hmmmmmm...might need to look into this.?

ironannekidd - 2010-06-28 9:04 AM

That would be AWESOME!

Or maybe IM France, or China, anywhere good.

mndymond - 2010-06-28 11:12 AM

Basically anywhere that is not Edmonton would be cool. Haha. Depends on timing of my electives depending on my clinical rotation schedule. Hmmm...I wonder if anyone has tried...I can see the Dean's face now...pondering the validity of my sports medicine elective...

I'm sure you could make a case for studying the effects of endurance sports on (name something in the body).

ironannekidd - 2010-06-26 9:12 AM So the latest in the life of Ann

I have a friend who is trying to hook me up with a job in New Jersey as a Systems Administrator, which is what I want to do. The beauty of it is... I CAN WORK FROM HOME!

More money+job I want to do+less travel=HAPPY ANN

AND...

If I get this job we will also be getting a Great Dane puppy. My niece bred her Great Dane and they have 2 week old puppies. Cross your fingers and toes everyone!

Oh wow, Ann!  That sounds great!  Definitely sending you good job vibes!!

Thanks Dee!

What's going on in your neck of the woods?

ironannekidd - 2010-06-28 5:38 AM

You haven't gone soft, you are running more than just a mile or two. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be comfortable while you are suffering.

Mild training   --   Steady but slightly slow work   --   Busy rest of life (helping hubby with car show details, training puppy, etc.)

Also I am losing weight!  Overall I have lost 9 - 10 pounds since the first of the year.  Double if you count the pounds I gained on vacations and then lost again!  Hubby has lost about 20 - 25 pounds.  We are both just over 1/2 way to our goals.
