    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!

    That was my ride yesterday. It's even cooler if you view it on google earth!

    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...

    http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/user/h2odiva

    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!!

    Zowie~

    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!

    I'm not kidding when I say...

    There is absolutely no flat ground around here.

    I have no choice but to climb. Thanks for the encouragement. It makes me feel better. I feel kinda slow but I have to remind myself of the hills and that when I get on flat on flat ground on race day, I'll be flying.

    You go girl! But also, when you talk about the race, you mean the IM right? And don't you have to go up Richter Pass for that? DH and I were talking about driving down to Penticton to ride the IM route some time this summer. It looks pretty hilly to me.

    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!
