LazyMarathoner - 2008-10-07 10:34 PM Everyone except for other triathletes will think you're crazy. I'm surprised my friends and family haven't staged an intervention

BT has been a life saver and I've met a lot of great people here. When I was out jockstrapping and signing up for IMWI I got to meet a bunch of BTers I'll be racing with so I already feel like I'm doing it with friends.

My family prefers me being active to me being overweight... So right now they are happy... Let's see when they start getting concerned about my sanity... But on the other hand... My dad started to get back into sports with around 60 and does a sport certificate (5 disciplins and you have to reach certain time/distance etc) every year since..... Probably runs in the family.

My mom and step-dad have just gotten into biking. It's been fun to hear them get all geeked about bike gear. They don't roll their eyes at me so much anymore.

my mom and dad are into biking as well

actually they were into it (especially my mom) long before I got active - as I recall, the fact that my mom was in better shape than me, was part of my motivation to get back to being physically fit

that was a few years before I got into tri's but it was the beginning

My Mum is definatley fitter and in better shape than me. She started walking a lot when we were still living with her and now she lives in the middle of nowhere on a lifestyle block raising bulls so... she has a pretty busy outdoor life, including working in her garden.

She doenst need to 'exercise' as such because she just gets it with her life

But since today is my Friday, I'll be feeling better when the day is coming to an end!

Have you scheduled some rest time for your weekend??? :-) Or will you be running around with other stuff than work for the remainders of th week?? :-)

It will be nothing but rest, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm off to Chicago tomorrow for a long weekend and Chicago Marathon jockstrapping. I'm barely even running while I'm there except for a long run on Monday, which I can't wait for. I love doing long runs out of town, they fly by. And I'll get to see a lot of BTers, which is always good.

be sure to say hi to 2Goggs for me!

I sure will!

I told him to be nice to you or I'd come kick his azz

Heya, team! How goes it?

I'm stuck at work feeling a little sorry for myself. I missed my swim this morning. It was icky, cold, and rainy all morning. Then I get to work...now it's all sunny and delightful. Maybe I can sneak outside for a run. Sometimes a little sunshine goes a long way.

I know what you mean about the sunshine - that's what happened to me yesterday!

I'm walking on sunshine , wooah
I'm walking on sunshine, woooah
I'm walking on sunshine, woooah
and don't it feel good!!

Hey , alright now

Shoot, I was thinking you were saying I could get Toppage for my 1000th post. But hey, my mis-reading led to at least 3 additional posts! So at least I'm not just posting numbers like a certain someone on our team

Oh, yeah -

tlnewman30 - 2008-10-08 5:00 PM It was good for any of you that might be wondering.

Glad you had a good run! Are you starting to get pumped for the marathon? Got a specific time goal in mind?

I am pumped for the marathon. I am really only concerned about finishing, but I am hoping to drop below my 2007 time which was 5:04:19, which I should be able to do. Would like to see around 10 min/mi or better if possible, which is somewhere around 4.5hrs.

Just some tips, if you don't mind some feedback.

Big thing - DON'T START OUT FAST! NO MATTER WHAT!! (Okay, I'm done yelling).

Be confident in yourself. Don't be afraid to walk, especially when at the aid stations. Don't look at your watch.

most excellent advice! I've never done the distance, but it makes a lot of sense!
