Are you sure that alligators are a bad thing...it seems to me that they would motivate athletes to swim their fastest. 

BeginnerMan - 2008-12-29 2:09 PM  See! i said that too!!!! too bad my wife does not agree.I also think the quote at the bottom of my tag makes alot of sense...... I told her to get extra "gator-off" from the store on Saturday

I saw that...it is perfectly logical reasoning. I just can't understand why your wife doesn't see it that way.

Besides-the odds of a gator getting involved in a triathlon are about as high as piranhas attacking...and the whole piranha threat to humans is mostly bark- they very rarely bite humans.  Hey-if you did get attacked you would have some awesome stories and great scars to back them up.  Pirahna scars are awesome!  I would much prefer to be mauled by a pirahna(or several) than by a dog. 

That is one December challenge I also completed.

Another random piranha story:

When Katrina was bearing down on the MS/LA border on the coast, rumor has it that the Aquarium in New Orleans actually zapped the piranha tank and killed them.  They were able to save things like the sea turtles, the white gator, and the penguins, but most of the fish died when power was lost for so long that they couldn't pump oxygen into the water.  Supposedly, they zapped the piranha ahead of time just in case the building took a catostrophic hit and they were released into the river basin.  No idea if that's true or not.

I didn't slow down last night either.

I have a new avatar!

 We were reminiscing in Nibbs about the Little Mr and Little Miss book series and decided that the characters would make great avatars.  I wasn't ready to give up my last avatar so I compromised and edited in Little Miss Chatterbox. 

Anyone have special plans for New Years Eve/Day?

Heh... I AWLWAYS take New Years Day off.  It's sort of like getting my procrastination rocks off early so I get to work on the 2nd.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas.  I am also keeping it low key for New Years and will probably try to make a run on New Year's Day, if my knee gets better (I think I twisted it loading up all of our luggage for our trip to visit our family). 

I completed day 2 of the 100 Pushup Challenge today (with my kids cheering me on) and I am suprisingly not that sore right now.  I can feel it, which is good, but it is not that bad.

Hope everyone had a great 2008.  I myself am looking forward to an injury free 2009 so that I can actually run a race or two.

We are (hopefully) having a quiet one this year, which I'm happy about.

I will go for a run on New Year's Day too.

By the way Sesh, great work on the 10 hours of pushups on Saturday!  That must have been quite a workout .

Hah!  

Yeah, I'm a little sore.  

(fixed to 10 min now)

I thought if I wrote this then I would have to actually do it!  We'll see if it works!

Ya'll have a great New Years, be safe!

Happy New Year!

I am probably the only one awake this early, but I have an awful cold and I was sleeping at 9 last night.  I've spent most of the last few days in bed or on the couch.  I can't seem to kick this thing.  Oh well, time to get back to life cold or no cold.

Should be a quiet day today.  My only workout will be the initial test for the push-ups challenge.  Since I haven't been out of the house for two days, a walk might be nice.

I hope you all have a great day today, and aren't suffering too badly if you were partying last night.

Happy New Year Everyone!

I did my initial push up test and added in the sit up test.  I was level 3 for the pushups (barely - eeked out 16) but excellent w/ the situps (woo hoo - 90).  So my plan is to do a weekend day and T/Th.

I hope everyone has recovered from the holidays and New Year's Eve.  We had friends over and had a low key evening.  My son made it until midnight w/ one of his friends.  He was out as soon as his head hit the pillow though.  My husband and I got in a 5 mile tempo run to start the new year on the right foot.  Less than 3 weeks til I start my half ironman plan and only 4 days until I head back to the pool for Master's practice.  :-(

Well I just had the laziest New Years Day ever.  Not much on tap today either, but I do have a half marathon tomorrow.  I love getting the year kicked off with a race.

Good luck Bill on the 1/2.  Can't wait to hear how it goes.  Hope its warmer there than here.  It hovering around the freezing mark.  I plan on doing my 2m run and hitting the Wii for some yoga practice.
