You know Troy, I don't think you ever leg humped me back in those days either LOL

And Bacon is bad! Its the gateway meat!

Thanks Tsunami! I know there's no way I can give up my meats and pasta yet, maybe one day, but I figure if I make sure it's organic and clean thats better than nothing! I'm with ya on the older thing...thus why I am trying to clean up my act. I'm in better shape now than I was 10 years ago, but I don't want to look like one of those scary old ladies with all the bones sticking out, so I'm trying to balance my running with other stuff.

Organic and clean is a great start! And cutting down or out processed foods.

I just bought myself a bicycle today and some swim stuff (learning how to swim). Maybe there is a super short triathalon in my future. We should pick a destination race and do it together!

And I am sure when I am old, I am going to be an scary old lady with the bones jutting out

Puhlease, you'll be that adorable lile grandma with the pinchable cheeks, while I'm the old hag hitting children with my cane!

And definitely, I'd love to meet up and do an event with you! Are you still running at all? I havent seriously considered a tri, but some friends have been trying to lean me in that direction. I can swim, but probably not efficiently, and I have a crappy bike, but nothing race worthy.

Short distance triathlons are nothing to be afraid of. And you don't need some fancy $10,000 carbon tri bike to do it, just something that is in good shape and won't break on you. Just practice your open water swim, much different than the pool at your gym. Then do brick training. Your legs will react differently coming off of a bike and starting to run, than when you just go out to run. Different muscles will be activated and blood will be in the wrong place. The bricks get your body used to that transition/feeling. All of you fit skinny girls should have no problem with a sprint distance triathlon....

No offense intended but, it just struck me as funny that one named "Tsunami" is learning how to swim!

Carry on!

And I'm a Pisces

I learned a long time ago when I was a kid (like 8 years old), but never had a real place to practice growing up in the city. I love the water though and I love playing in the water so I'm not afraid of it. Its just I have really bad technique so if I don't have a life jacket or if I can't stand up and have my face above water, I would drown.

So I'm starting from scratch again and relearning how to do everything properly, Learning from a friend who was the aquatics director at the YMCA. So its kickboard, then pull buoy and arms and legs together and then focusing on breathing in lesson 1. Went to gym today and practiced and it went pretty well, Still have to work on breathing though but not bad for practice 1 after lesson 1.

Let me know if you sign up for the Tri - I'd be happy to share what I've learned this summer.
