Tri Slugs Unite!

[Lise]

I am such a tri-slug. I've done nothing athletic for....oh...let's see...I've been dating J. for 9 weeks now...yep, nothing athletic for 9 weeks. I ran the 1/2 marathon the day before I met him. I've run twice since. I think I've ridden twice since. No swimming. Sigh. I feel wonderful, happy, in love, but my back's been hurting a lot lately--the same right illeo-sacral area where I always had pain. Time to get back with the aerobic activity that really diminishes the pain. I'm thinking of getting a trainer for the bike after Christmas. It would have to go in my dining room. I have a pretty small apt...I just don't want to have to go through that "getting to know you" phase again with the bike, as I usually do in the spring.

Today the high is going to be 11 degrees F, which is a bit cold for running. Running's the main thing I did last winter. It's not at all bad after the first 1/2 mile of freezing!

So how about the rest of you tri-slugs? I know you're out there! Can we motivate each other back into it?

I've told J. I want to watch Kona this Saturday--I want to watch it with him so he can see why I love it so much. He's such a sweetheart...but I digress. Watching Kona is always a huge motivator. In fact...I may just pop last year's DVD in now and do some pushups! Go, Tri-slug, go!

There is no tri, just do.

On a more serious note, what if we just want to be a slug, tri or otherwise?

SK! Great to see you! ...and... I do not understand the question!

[Grog]

I was thinking about you this morning Lise! Glad to hear you're in love and lovin' it!!

Come on, running in the cold is great! We were just talking about that in the last Long runs thread. Just dress toastily and you're all set!

Go girl go!!!

I don't want to do tri's but I sure want to be a slug right now. So, what about us non-tri types?

[Lise]

Ah! You meant "what if we just want to be a slug..." Well, go right on ahead! Slugdom is not hard to achieve! Remember Snapdragen's old avatar of the slug on a scooter? It could be the Slug Club mascot! I'm hoping to ease my way back out of the slug club, myself...
