Ummm... I was QUOTING! If you would kindly scroll to the top of this thread, you would find that Nancy is the true perpetrator (of course).

I am sparkly white as snow innocent.

sorry Glen, with a schedule like that, you are on your own!!

I'll pass on the smelly running shoes.....

behave gary :-)

Well, goals
1. last year I put on 10-15 extra that I had to lose in the spring so, keep it off this year
2. Ride the tdF, in my basement when it's below zero outside. I taped all but three stages and plan on riding on a trainer with the peloton.
3. find a swim coach.
4. enjoy my new house. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Here are my goals

2004
Complete 1/2 marathon in october
Keep off weight I've lost (90lbs)

Work on open water swimming, so I don't freak out next time.


2005

So far just planning the Wildflower Oly in May
Will probably add some 5-10k runs
Save money so I can buy more cool Tri-Stuff - Need a wetsuit, new tires for bike!!!
Enjoy this site, and hopefully not lose my job because I spend too much time here.

Hey Ovetta, (sorry people)
don't ask - what training? :-) - as you can see in my blog. :-( Just kidding, I'm so glad you asked.

Well, when an event is in any near future (2 months or less) I start to freak out and "suddenly" other things just "pop up". Yeah.
But I am getting smarter. Instead of beating myself up for starting AGAIN, now I call it "a pause" (....after 5th time or so "starting again" I started only to feel very stupid.... ) and try to be proud for not give up! Sometimes it actually works!! ;-)

Really it is NOT "starting again" b/c when I do train I see real improvements. Actually looking forward to long months of training (no events=no freaking) - it is my chance to prepare good for The First One!

My goals:

1. To enjoy at the BT Mock-Tri, October 16
2. Within one year from now to be real 3athlete! For me, it means:
o 3s as a part of my normal (=blissful, wonderful, new) life
o to compete in 3 or more sprints and ENJOY each one of them = summer 2005
o starting Oly program = Oct 2005
o well… as a result…. should I mention it… BF 19%
3. Rowing class = spring 2005 or before
4. To be strong! for me, it means to be able to do at least 5 one-legged squats and one-arm pushups

How to achieve my goals #2 and #4:

1. Base building:
o 8-month Sprint combo (Couch to 5k + Sprint)
o regular commuting + spinning class (when it gets dark'n'cold outside)
o join the gym and use their devices, but be as much as possible outdoors, get tough'n'wild

2. core strength: David Girsaffi’s abs program level 1 to 7

3. flexibility and more core strength:
o hatha yoga,
o Zen yoga class,
o Thomas Kurtz’s progression for flexibility and core strength – link http://www.stadion.com/column_stretch20.htmland other articles

4. The last but not the least - mental preparation: visualization, affirmations

I'm so happy!!!!
:-) :-) :-) :-)

First of all, I’ve to perform my training plan.
Afterwards and according to the feelings, I'll see what I can project.
Luck for all.

Sanjana, I love your goals!! 

Here are mine:

1. Cut 25 lbs by May 05
2. Cut 25 minutes to 2:45 at Wildflower Oly
3. Keep weight off for wedding August 6, 2005
4. 2:30 at Lopez Lake Road Oly in Oct. 2005
5. End of season: be under 200 lbs. to prepare for 2006 and the Ironman Distance

My goal is to enjoy the 4 weeks between my last race (Oct 31) and the start of my IMAZ training (beginning of Dec)
I don't have any time goals for my last 2 races, I just want to stay healthy and have fun.



...oh and lose a ton of weight. No more Clydesdale for me thank you!

I am running my second marathon of the year (also second ever ) october 24 from buffalo,ny to niagara falls canada.Probably couple other local races ,at least once a month .Then I will train seriously for 2005 to run my first triathlon since 1986 .I will push on my swimming because it might be my weakness .I hope I wont make a foul of myself .
