I'm up now... but you're just about to head to bed. I hope you get some good sleep with the boys at home. Hey Suzie... manuscript? Are you an editor? Or writer? My wife is a writer... so I think you're either an editor or proofreader... because no WAY you're writing 2-3 manuscripts in a couple weeks. Oh no. Nothing as grand as an editor or a writer. I am working on manuscripts for research I have done. I just need to get them finished, in to the journals, and pray for acceptance. Oooh ooh! I play that game too! I'm supposed to be working on my article over break, but haven't finished my grading yet...MUST FINISH GRADING! Then I can have a nice Christmas and spend early January writing. Good luck with the submissions - I hate the waiting part. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have bike envy. ![]() I'm on my first bike - a WSD Specialized (Baby)...we bought it ~4 years ago when we moved out of the city and I finally had somewhere to ride. (We live 1 mile from horse country now - great riding.) I'd love to get another one some day, but first must convince hubby that the bike would be a good "mistress"...what is it when women have a 2nd lover? A mister? That doesn't sound right. Baby is purple though. I love purple. |

I"d love to go to Home Depot, pick up a bunch of Hammers and just start throwing them at stuff, like all those cool light displays, or even randomly walk around throwing a hammer or two then claiming I'm Thor |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() y'all are killing me with the sexy bike talk. I craved a cigarette at one point and I don't smoke. I actually got to the gym during lunch today, and really hit the weights after the elliptical. I plan to get on the treadmill this evening if I can keep my eyes open - weight training makes me sleepy and sleep HARD, I dunno what it is. |

I"d love to go to Home Depot, pick up a bunch of Hammers and just start throwing them at stuff, like all those cool light displays, or even randomly walk around throwing a hammer or two then claiming I'm Thor Gary, unless you are willing to toss a seldge hammer around Home Depot, it wouldn't be worth it. Hammer throw is a field event where they basically throw a shot put attached to a cable with a hanlde that is the weight of a bowling ballroughly 65-75m (220-250 feet). The first pic is my friend Adriene throwing the long handled hammer. Adriene threw shot competitively. The next pictures are of my friends Loree and Amber. They both have thrown the hammer competiviely for 10 years plus. I fell in to this while I was in grad school. It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of hard work but I don't mind. So, it's nothing really earth shattering but it's a break from the other stuff I do. And the last is my buddy AG. He's an awesome guy. Edited by Dr Hammer 2009-12-22 7:37 PM |

Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks for the techy help! I needed to know how to do that as well! Another day of missed workouts between working and getting ready for holidays. we are hosting and still have so much to do. Will be happy when it is over and can get back to routine. been on the go for almost 15 hours today ![]() Bopper - 2009-12-22 7:33 PM gojogo - 2009-12-22 7:29 PM My last post was supposed to be connected to Garryy's reply to Mojo11's swim stuff. I may need some Tech help Bopper. Hope eveyone had a great Tuesday. Went snowboarding today for a couple of hours. It was great to be outside. Kelly Hey Kelly... here's my techy help. I think you pressed the "reply" button at the top of the post you wanted to respond to. If you want the original message to be in your message you must click on the "quote" button. You will then have the original message in your reply with a couple meta tags at either end (the word QUOTE in square brackets at the beginning, and /QUOTE in square brackets at the end. Either put your response before or after those tags. You can also add more tags in the message to respond to various parts... but that's a little more complex. If you want a lesson on that I'll give it another time. Hope that helped?! |

![]() | ![]() MORNING ALL!!!! HO HO HO!!! I was up at 5 after getting home at midnight from work! Made the grocery store before any lines and was out by 7 am !!!! Stocking stuffers at Walmnart to follow. I think this counts as a workout...dont you??? With the holidays it so hard to get any training in but I try to take a minimum of 30 minutes of "me " time to get in a short run. Yesterday I was able to run 8 + miles before work ( took well over an hour...I am a slow runner). Today I will be lucky to get in 3. I'll take what I can. Dont need the added stress of trying to accomplish too much. Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season ![]() |

I know I have this problem, not sure how to correct it. Thanks, Kelly When I swim I just make SURE that the tip of my thumb brushes my thigh with every stroke. Its not a drill per se......just a habit that i have formed to make sure to complete the stroke. It is really important during interval work because i find that when I become tired my form starts to deteriorate and this is one of the areas that I have to really concentrated on. Hope this helps! |

Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Morning everyone! Well, I couldn't sleep much last night, so I was up at around 4:45 am to wrap presents. That's another thing off my list of things to do today. Going to hit the stores early this morning to finish grocery shopping and then I have a message session (for my sore shoulder) scheduled for this afternoon. Marianne...I am thinking about doing a polar bear swim. They have a huge one down at English Bay every year. Lisa...What Spinervals tapes did you buy? Let me know how you like them. I need to get a few new ones. Well, I should get ready to hit the stores. Have a great day everyone and I will try to check-in later.
