Best Western Garden Inn

Hi Everyone,
I just called Best Western and they are completely sold out for the weekend of July 21st. The lady was kind enough to recommend another hotel to me (Quality Inn) and it's cheaper! Mention my name (Nora Varbedian) when you make a reservation so that they put us close together. They accept AAA discount for those of you who have AAA.

TGIF...

A Bicycle Story
A triathlete was walking around in town one day when his friend, another triathlete, rode up on an incredible shiny new bike.
The first chap was stunned and asked, "Where did you get such a fantastic bike?"
The friend replied, "Well, yesterday I was out running in the forest just minding my own business when this beautiful woman rode up to
me on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want!"
The first chap nodded approvingly, "Good choice. The clothes probably wouldn't have fitted you anyway."

as of today, you have 177 days to train!

It's Okay to Run Hurt

NEW ADVICE Dr. James Weinstein says rest is counterproductive.
By GINA KOLATA

JUST before the end of last year, a prominent orthopedic surgeon was stretching to lift a heavy box and twisted his back. The pain was agonizing. He could not sit, and when he lay down he could barely get up.
So the surgeon, Dr. James Weinstein of Dartmouth College, decided to go out for a run.

“I took an anti-inflammatory, iced up, and off I went,” Dr. Weinstein recalled. When he returned, he said, he felt “pretty good.”

It sounds almost like heresy. The usual advice in treating injuries is to rest until the pain goes away. But Dr. Weinstein and a number of leading sports medicine specialists say that is outdated and counterproductive. In fact, Dr. Weinstein says, when active people consult him, he usually tells them to keep exercising.
The idea, these orthopedists and exercise specialists say, is to use common sense. If you’ve got tendinitis or sprained a muscle or tendon by doing too much, don’t go right back to exercising at the same level....READ MORE

BETS

Some of you may know the bets going on for Vineman.

*Last one out of the water (slowest time) has to buy the first round of drinks (alcoholic or non).

*Anyone who DNF (did not finish) has to buy dinner for EVERYONE.

Well, there's another bet between two of us. Marc and Linda. Linda thinks she can beat Marc's swim time. Marc is scared and is attempting to sound confident she can't. What do they win? Bragging rights for the rest of their lives of who is the fastest swimmer.

Now, go train!

update from bob

So, we have another quiet person on the board. Bob. I called him last night to see if he has been supertraining and apparently he has.

Just hasn't touched a pool yet.

Apparently his family is stealing all the internet time to post anything.
UPDATE: oh wait... just noticing the Tracker 2007... he has updated it and is SCHOOLING everyone.

MARC... GO POST...

there it is.

Cement blocks...

I was told i need to post more... So, here I am... beat. My legs feel like cement blocks were tied to them. Why you make ask they feel that way? It's called deciding to do a swim workout with only my legs and running to and from the gym... 3.3 miles to be exact... i totally forgot what swimming does to legs.

one word to describe me at this very moment: pooped.

now to think I only swam .75 miles... and only 3.3 miles... I guess that's good for the time being... but VINEMAN will want more out of my body. Good thing I finally stepped up and started the supertraining.

Carry on...
