****side note***** Where the he** is Mattoon IL????

  i h8 xmas muusic before thanksgiving.... it makes me all angry inside.....

 

h9 even.

 

me too

hey aidana - how are things?

my brain is fried..........i'm starting to hate helping people and the holidays are around the corner.....maybe i'm evil but i don't care........... .....and how are you?

not "feeling it" today for some reason.

Cheers to not "feeling it" toppage.  No w8.  better to feel it.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  Its simple, family, food, drinks, happiness.

i mean it really is the model to which all holidays and gatherings should follow.

The fact that it gets over shadowed by marketing makes me sad inside... 

the worst part is that i never used to NOT like xmas..... but now it is just a bit tainted for my cynical self...

x trillion

It's the same as xmas without all the pressure.  Family and food and joy, without hemoraging cash on gifts they may or may not like, pretending to like gifts, all the hype, etc...

Am I a grinch?

Glad I could be of service...

Which plan?  I'm really tempted to go back to it after using the BT plan for my IM.

Also, if I were to load up a plan in BT, it would be from that book.  How painful was the loading? (hours)?

jsoza - 2008-11-05 3:53 PM aidana...yeah it just sounds like you are evil

hahaha....i'm not actually........i'm a burnt out social worker who had one helluva day and i still have school after work which i haven't completed my homework that's all................nowleavemealonebeforeihurtyou...........

You're a better person than me.  Social work would be a hard job for me...

I'm doing the level 1 Olympic... wasn't too bad to load in just a bit time consuming...

Yeah, no worries.

I got slapped for "lol-ing" my first day *wrist slap*.  I was embarrassed.  It's a silly rule, with no other reason than people got tired of the typical IM speak here.

aidana...no no...you are ok...evil....but ok

I attempted to make a spread sheet that used "pull down" menues.  You picked CLR4, and it would tell you that it was "long Ride for 60 min"  (or whatever).  I got tired of going back and forth all the time.  But that (the spreadsheet) got overwhelming very quickly.

Good thing is, many of the workouts/weeks repeat, but with increased time, so you can copy week to week maybe, and just change the duration...

There could be a slick way to do it, if you thought about it.  OR, just plug away like you did.

Crazy thing is, in "training Peaks" they offer these same plans that you can upload into your logs there.  but they cost like 90 bucks for ONE plan!  You can get the entire book for 20 or less....

pizza for dummies.

ETA:  I got it wrong.

youch.. yeah that would take a ton of work.... entering it in took me about an hour ish... but that was in between treating patients and other "work"... might have been faster if i had waited til i got home....

I like the variety of the programs and the scaling.. hard to believe that TP is charging for those programs.... I just bought a nutrition plan over there... I like it but it doesn't have a  grocery list so its a bit of a pain in the butt

Yeah, work.  But then I figured once it was set up, I could pull down any plan easy.  I underestimated the scale of the task and gave up.

BTW, I want to revise my previous post.  These plans on TP or 50 to 80 bucks.  Not 90.

I used the 20week IM plan from BT this year... I upped the biking... and downed the swimming tho.

and did some different running workouts given to me by people that run alot faster than i do

ALSO:

I still enjoy looking through the book just for fun.  It's amazing to see the undertaking if you wanted to do some of the level 10-12 plans for the distances - a SERIOUS commitment.  But also see how doable his level 1 IM plan was.

I also like comparing, for example, a level 7 oly plan with a level 4 HIM plan.  They have similar hours, but totaly different structure.  Interesting stuff.
