Hey Flyin,

Whatcha got planned for November 18 (sunday)? That is the date of the Horrible Hundred, a 100mile bikle ride that includes Sugarloaf mountain. I am going to register this week for it.

And, I am going to register this week for the Race Across Florida on April 29, 2008.

I am taking swimming lessons starting Monday to learn to swim better for a triathlon next year. I am going to work on that as that is by far my weakest leg of a triathlon.
 
GR8,
that ride sounds lik a great idea. i am a lil tight on funds so give me a call about it. That is a century ride- that would be cool.

Well,
i feel much better-
Ride: 25 miles about 2 hours, took my son with me. it is amazing how good of shape he is in for a 12 yr old kid.
Run: 9 miles 1:18:04 and did it ever feel good.

Also took update photos as you requested Sparrow. they are going into the FF headed to Iron right now.

Love yourselves ALL- torture your body!!

Ran 3.5 miles last night after playing Mr. Mom for the entire evening. It was actually kind of nice going out to run at 9:pm. Made for hell trying to go to sleep.

took my youngest to auditions for a christmas play, and my sone to a mini TKD tourny, and listened to my 15 year olds drama for hours on end....

tonight I get to spin and swim!!

AFTER I ATTEMPT TO GET 500 pushups in one day.
FF
 
500 pushups

1.2 mile swim 40:58 - that is one half of the Ironman length. There is some reality about Ironman-- the swim portion alone is well over an hour and half... oh my.. kind of like doing pushups on a calculator-- it aint real until you get in the water and start trying to swim 2.4 miles that it gets real.... forget about the 6-7 hour bike ride, that should set a guy up real nice for a FF'in marathon!!!!! AM I INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg!!! Spaaaaarrrrrroooowwwww!!!! I am gunna get you!

then i got beat in rummy by a 12 yer old boy 3 times. my 15 yr old daughter called me old, and my youngest lil hunk of love didn't even stick up for me :(

hahhahaha

FF
 
Ha ha thats a funny pic ff. You took a picture in the middle of your run?! you are so random. I'm going to take a picture on my way out to the pool, or on my way into the gym. lol

Yeah, you're pretty crazy to do the ironman. Theres no question there, and for the record, I had NOTHING to do with that. I think when you caught me we were talking about SPRINT races. Yeah? lol. Talk about being an over achiever.

Don't get so busy you forget to talk to the little people ;) Sounds like the Mr. Mom thing is going pretty well :D
 
please do take pics.

and get in on the plank challenge-- after all you did WIN at your tri-class.

I played catch with TJ last night, and he and I played rummy with Jennifer- just one hand though. Thanks for the heads up... tonight I will do beter.


Rode 15 mi to office,,, a little over an hour.

trying 60 minutes of plank today, and riding home to play with kids.

one more week and mommma is HOME!! GOD is GOOD
 
hey Der!!

I have a 15 yr old-- Homecoming tonight,,, omgoodness- Brittney Ann (peanut)
12 yr old- Todd Joshua (Maximus) - kinda like your name,
and a 10 yr old Jennifer Sue. (ferfy)
 
you are a good one Derdy girl.

It felt good to write that piece in Chillens log. It made me look inside to what i have been learning.. AND i realize experience can not always be told, it has to be experienced...

Ride- 15 miles to work, 15 miles home = total of abotu 3 hours on Mountain bike

Plank position ab work = 40 minutes.

Threw away all the halloween candy.

Got asked some fitness questions at the office today. One girl saw me ride up and complimented my body,,, if felt really good, probably because of what she said "you look great, O'll bet that takes alot of work."

SPENT WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THIS BOARD TODAY!! but there sure are some good peeps here.
FF
 
hahaha and it is nibbling at mine!

rode: 5.7 to gym
swam: 2.4 mi 1:21:36, with a split at 1.2 mi of 40 min flat, drank 12 oz of gatorade.
rode: 5.7 home

goin to a USF athletics golf tourny fund raiser, then a missionary fish fry.

BYE
 
I totally forgot!! this morning before I swam i did my deadlift "goal"

300 Beeeeeyatch!! and what was totally cool.... is that I noticed the bar starts to bend at that weight. I wanna bench it.

but to cool my jets some,, let's realize it is only the 3 time i have tried to do deadlift,, so 300 was not a worthy goal. Let's go 350. that may take some work to get to.
 
Tried my best to get into the Ironman Florida Event today and didn't get a slot. It is amazing to me that we have go thru so much adversity trying to get a slot in one of these races. dissappointed.. SO- I registered for the Orlando 70.3 M-dot Ironman event. I can possibly win the opportunity to purchase an IM 08 slot. AMAZING!!! and stupid-- I will not vent anymore....sorry.

DO, i hit the gym-

Bent over rows 3X12
Lunges 3X15
Bulgarian Squats 2X10 weighted
Hanging dips 3X15
5 min elloptical
Lateral pulldown 3X12
Leg Press 2X10
Squats 2X8
Overhead Tricept 3X12

5 minutes stair master-- I don't know why, but that 5thing kills.
Seated cable Row 3X10 and i did it with a rag ot help build grip
