What is a "Thread Drift"???

Jennifer knows a LOT of languages, it's totally amazing.
I am fluent in Spanish, and I can get along a little with very simple French, which we brushed up on before going to Quebec in 2005. My Spanish definitely helped me to learn French, but several French speaking people in Quebec asked me if I spoke Spanish as I was speaking French to them, because apparently I have a slight Spanish accent when I speak French! Language is so fascinating and wonderful, just like music.

I learned French first and Sanish after. French people think I have a Spanish accent and vice versa. No one ever guesses that I'm Canadian.

When I was in the Canary Islands, everyone would ask if I was German or English. They don't get many tourists from other countries, especailly not Canadians. When I told them I was Canadian, they would immediately ask if I was from the french speaking part of Canada. I was amazed. These people, half way around the world, living on a set of tiny islands adjacent to Morocco not only knew where Canada was, they also knew that we have 2 official languages and knew that people from east were more likely to be french speaking than people from the west. They must put some emphasis on geography in their schools. Even the bus drivers knew.

I barely passed french classes, but the format was terrible - I don't think anyone was expected to Speak it after completing high school classes! I've always admired people who could speak many languages, and have always thought that if I set my mind to it I could learn other languages, but my priorities and commitment are completely in other directions! Once again, I am humbled by the depth and breadth of knowlege, experience and intelligence on this forum!

On a completely different note - I'm so glad we bought gadgets when we had the money to do it!

I have the Garmen Forerunner 305 and apparently I can also upload my data, but I haven't figured out how to yet. I'm not someone that finds these techie things easy to do.

I must look into this further.

Edited to add: boy, even though you said you didn't work that hard your HR was up there a ways.

Hey, Wahine

Admittedly, I find techie things not terribly challenging, usually, so I find uploading to motionbased pretty cool. I actually just spent a few minute downloading the upgrades, so I hope I'll have an even better experience in the future.

I'd love to see what your training rides and runs look like, so please take a few minutes to create your motionbased free account!

I love the butterflies story!! Aren't they the coolest creature?

H&B,

I finally got it together. My activities can be seen at...

I only have 10 run and rides up there right now. Don't know if I can have more or not. I haven't figured that out yet.

This is very cool. And now that I have the data at my finger tips, I'm off to join the climbing club.

The wild thing is that so far in April I've climbed more running than I have biking. I better start riding some harder hills!!

That's some climbing you've done, girl!

I've been uploading for quite a long time. I don't think there is a limit to how many rides/runs you can upload for free. I sure hope not!

Keep training - you rock!

Have you had any problems with it? I'm looking at getting one...

[LBTC]

Oh, yeah, and Wahine, that wasn't a terribly high HR mountain bike ride for me....but my goal was not to keep my HR down, it was to make sure I did not allow those particular muscles in my abdomen to cramp up....so, I got a good work out in, without being in terrible pain afterwards. YAY!!

And I was so happy to feel that my legs and lungs felt like they could just keep riding and riding and riding! Yahoo!!

I'd love to see those pics of the outdoor furniture. We are so looking for great ideas!
