Most of the time I play down my fitness endeavors with non-tri/bikey friends and family. But all of my friends know how important it is to me so they almost always ask how much I've been training, how long I've been riding...

Well once they ask, I let them have it but in a very brief way. Sort of like this:

Them - Did you train today?

Me - Yep

Them - What did you do?

Me - For which workout?

Them - Pardon?

Me - Which workout? I ran this morning and biked this afternoon.

Them - What?

Well you get the idea. And like Southernbelle, IFjane and Susan 126, I love the looks on their faces when I get to the part when they ask how far or how long. I am evil. Sometimes I think I do this so that when I'm 90 and in a nursing home if the nurse says "My are killing me," I can say in a crochety voice, "You don't know what sore feet are. When I was your age..."

But seriously, I never talk about my training beyond them asking me questions. It is an easy way to bore people to death.
