Blowing off a pool workout for TV? I think you're awfully close to owing me some HT. You should make that two runs

Got in my 3 miles today. Nit great or even good but in the books.


Mark good luck on the HM.

Jenn Lake George is still on the to do list. Any other good races your way?

Dave- good news I think the mass registration was due to the price increase. I should have the money in 2 weeks so keep your fingers crosses there are openings.


Promotions are Dec 10th and they still have not announced who is being promoted.... WTF My guess is that it will be today or Wednesday nothing like waiting to the last min.

It's been awhile since my last post. I think I'm somewhere on page 1. If you'll have me back BDAS, I'll be an active, contributing member. I promise to set fitness and life goals, cheer you all on in your goals, and offer whatever lame advice I can. I will not be offering advice on anything fruit beer, though I have found a taste for red wine since we last spoke.

I have exactly 1 week of fitness training under my belt in the last few. NOTHING like getting back off the couch and starting over.

Hi all! Great week around here. I had a monster swim week (for me) with over 13,000yds in the bank. Running was less successful, but It rained and stormed most of the week here. I had break through thoughts this week of setting up my trainer. I haven't been on my bike, or wanted to be in my bike, since my Oly in September, so it feels like a positive step. Up to 371 workouts for the year.

You state the group is open... I'm hoping you'll take a lowly, drunk Sprint triathlete with lots of potential.

NAME: Bryan

STORY: Started getting active about four years ago now with a local running club. I have completed 6 half marathons slowly. I have yet to break 3 hours. Two years ago I found triathlons for a little variety and have completed two Sprints so far. Had big plans for an Olympic this year, but couldn't get it together to make it happen. Looking to complete my first marathon (Dallas) in a few weeks. My left knee has put up a fight and has be battling a little runner's knee right now to make it more interesting.

FAMILY STATUS: I've been married for 20 years and have four adopted kiddos ages 13, 13, 12, and 9.

CURRENT TRAINING: In the last few weeks of marathon training for the Dallas marathon. Swimming a couple of times a week as well.

2014 RACES:: St. Patrick's Day Sprint.

RACES PLANNED FOR 15: New Years Day and Eve Double. I'm planning on doing a half marathon each day. Wiki Wiki Man Olympic in May. Kerrville HIM in September.

BEER PREFERENCE: Love Stone's Arrogant Bastard and Lakewood's Temptress (a local beer). I am also a home brewer. Vodka has become a favorite over the past couple of years as well. Hard to beat the simplicity of a Moscow Mule using a zero calorie ginger beverage.

WEIGHT LOSS: I lost 15 pounds this year, but have managed to gain most of it back, oddly, during the marathon training. I am a type 1 diabetic so balancing my food and weight loss can be a little challenging.


Looking forward to being a part of the crew.

welcome back!

I finally did a good run today. I ran a little over 6 , but found that place where I don't hate it but rather am just doing it. First day since my IM that I didn't feel like a fraud

Jenn- I am game for any time, but I would prefer to come up in what you consider summer

Kevin--50K sounds INTENSE! Good luck! (and I might say that one or two more times before your race in the spring!).

Double workout day for me here (#372 & 373)--ran 3.5 with the pup this morning and did a nice round 2500 yds at the pool at lunch.

Thursday my sister, her family, and I are all doing a 5K turkey trot. This is the first event I participated in after getting into this active life two years ago. My goal that year was to be able to run the whole distance, which I did at a blistering shuffle!! It is fun, low key, and starting to become a family tradition. Anyone else racing this week?

Gretchen - You are a machine! 2nd Timothy 4:7 - Fight the fight, finish the race, keep the faith! 13,000 yards is incredible and something to be proud of. You know what will be even better - hitting 400 workouts for the year! Just last night John and I were talking about what an amazing accomplishment that will be! You've got this!
