Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) (Page 84)

Exactly. Such a waste of talent. As for RS, that was a long slow death. The stores have been empty for years. They could have kept up but they chose to stock outdated technologies.

Originally posted by Jet Black I'm still very new to all of this so please excuse my newby questions! But what is the significance of threshold heart rate? Is this the same thing as max or something different?

MMmmmm, currently on a 37 day streak I have been given permission by DW to go on holiday on my own if I pay for her, the cherubs and her friend to go off somewhere. So, I get to go to the south of France in May for a week triathlon training camp I'm going here... http://www.les-stables.com/At £290.00 per week, I think it's a good deal. I'm mainly going for the swim video analysis, but the other training should pay dividends too. I've priced up swim analysis over here in the UK, but By the time you factor in travel, it's not far off half the cost of this week. I can get flights super cheap for this trip also, at only £55.00 return. Super excited. I tried to watch some of that super bowl last week. So boring to me. Apologies if I offend, but I don't get where the excitement comes from. It seems you have a few minutes of setting up for all of 10-20 seconds of action before it has to reset again. Perhaps I'd get it if I were to see a real game with someone explaining what was going on and I'm able to feel when something's heating up. Our "Super Bowl" is happening tonight. The most important match for any Welsh man (and woman). Wales v England at home in Cardiff at Rugby. There will be a few sore heads tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm working, but I'll try to steal a few glances at the game when I can. It's a good job I'm abstaining from alcohol until after my marathon. #Lastly, why is it that dogs think you're playing when trying to put your trainers on to go for a run. At least I got some pre run stretching in, thanks Lucy.

Actually I dragged DS2 in to a Lululemon recently and was surprised that they have a decent men's section.

OK, if the truth be known.  I signed up for a big out of town half marathon and showed up to this pre-race function.  It was the only race expo I've ever been to where you could get your nails down, makeup applied , or a vajazzle.

Hey, kids!

I've been busy with Dad the past two days and haven't had the chance to hang out in manatee-land for a bit.  Speaking of manatees, I'm surprised no one mentioned the manatee 'swarm' at Crystal River earlier this week: http://www.businessinsider.com/manatees-invade-three-sisters-springs-florida-2015-2 . A few years ago I was fortunate enough to do a kayak tour in that area and see the gentle beauties in the wild and even saw a young one!  Lovely area.

I'm glad to hear we have more manatees joining in the fun on Strava!  I, too, enjoy having a better visualization of what our pod is doing via maps and pictures.  Cool stuff!

Dad had bloodwork done on Wed. and his counts were good enough to try his new chemo regimen Thurs.  The drug they used in place of the one that socked his platelets last time is one nasty fellow.  They had to administer it over 5 hours to avoid an allergic reaction and took all sorts of other precautions like making him sit in the official chemo chair (he likes to sit in his walker seat, it's easier to get up), having the rescue drugs sitting nearby, monitoring his BP every 5-10 minutes and having me monitor him as well.  Of course they gave him pre-treatment drugs both for nausea and to help prevent a reaction from the new drug, plus he still needed an hour long infusion of his other drug when the 5 hour one was over.  It was a bit scary and stressful, and he admitted he was stressed, too.  Thankfully all went OK.  We were there from 7:45 am-2:45 pm yesterday, a long day for both of us!  Thank you to everyone who has been keeping him in your thoughts and prayers.

Glad to hear your Dad is doing well.  Some of these drugs are amazing and have miraculous results.

The drugs I got were infused over five days.  Fours cycles of it.  Nearly killed me but this stuff has to be fought at a microscopic level.  Hang in there.  All will be well.

Ah boy, rain in the lowlands and the high. I was hoping to get my workout done down low then head up to the mountains and get out of the rain (and into the snow) but no dice. 

What to do this weekend, what. to. do?

 

I AM hosting my first Sunday Beer Run, though! I'm hoping people show up (despite the rain)
