Team Skinny (Aug 2008) Turning the Corner (Page 20)

At least I admitted it........Now back to my hidey hole.

Hey, I've been in a mood all week. It happens to the best of us.

Now cheer up already.

Just for that I will be cheery and back to my lovable self.  I do wish I had some of you people closer (like in my neighborhood).  Although I like training alone (I am not very sociable) it would be fun to see how each other trains and combine and push each other.

speaking of being in a blue funk, my first tri is a week away and i am finding every exxcuse not to train. dont understand the closer it get the less i want to do. anyone else ever expierience this?
i do wish you guys and gals lived a bit closer too.

Not me,  Any one else?  Scaredy cat Comet?

only of failure or drowning or making a fool of myself.

With your buoyancy I think drowning is out of the question.  Now seriously I think you will do fine,  Take it easy on the swim and backstroke if you feel better and just finish the swim.

You can do it, Comet! It's totally natural to be nervous about your first tri. I'm nervous about my first Oly distance next weekend. We can be nervous together.

And you don't want me to live any closer, because I'd come to your house and make you get out and train.

Yeah - that's what I'm afraid of too.

Today was chalked up to putting down tile flooring ( + taping/mudding the joints)... Now just waiting for the 'thin set to dry' so we can start grouting, and then start the walls. This particular bathroom is a lot smaller than most jobs I've done around my own house, but it seems to be taking more energy out of me. Tonight is a crash night... going to bed early, get tomorrow off, and just wrack up as much sleep as possible. BTW, yesterday morning spent 3.5 hrs in the campus bookstore, and it was so jam-packed with people... Then I had to hit up financial aid to put more funds on my school ID, then walk back across campus and wait in line again for another 2 hrs. By the end of the ordeal, I was pooped!



9 days left till school starts and next training period... I am soooooo looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. Without structure, my days are too exhausting. I'm craving some endurance training/ weight lifting!!!

Those things will wear you out for sure Josh.  I HATE waiting in line for anything.  Structure is good.

thats just what i need though, a woman to come knocking on my door ordering me to train. Im sure my wife wouldnt mind

Well by now Comet is out of the water or he has drowned,  Any bets?

I'll put $5 on the fact that he's done very well!!! Go Comet! (I'm wondering if they had to throw a chew toy in the water first to get him out there!!??!!

As noted earlier, today was an off day... Yet still had to mow the lawn and hit up a dept/labor day BBQ (without traditional BBQ food). It was actually mainly geared for vegetarians, as most of the people who were there were either trying to lose weight or had had some form of 'bariatric' surgery, so it was all pretty healthy. I ended up eating two huge plates of salad, fruit, a couple of hot dogs, baked beans, and baked chicken. I stayed away from the desserts and opted for an after dinner slice of watermelon.

P.s. No alcohol either!!!

I think AbbieR had a race today too! I just wished her some luck.

Happy Labor Day everyone!!!

race isnt till next week, dork!
edit to add: thanks for the vote of confidence old man.
