Dear Dede ( Bonus Post)

Today spin class was a good one . Victor was the instructor and ran a good class. But I was so worn out from Evils class the night before, that it was the ride from hell for me. But Josh was next to me and I had to keep up, you don't want to show the young ones that you can't cut the mustard. You know what happens in the animal kingdom when the leader starts to show some weakness. The young ones push them out and next stop would be SilverSneakers Yoga Stretch or Easy Going Aqua Fitness. So you've got to keep up.

Mary, Josh, pregnant Carrie and the blond women with the bright light that I can never remember her name and a couple of other were there as well. Like I said it was a good workout except for one thing. I hate the single foot spinning section. That does nothing for me it just brings my heart rate way down. What are we amputees , we have two legs lets use them. Other than that it went off well.

After the class I was talking to Josh out in the gym when low and behold Evil pops in. She was going to do a little swimming because she couldn't take her own workout from the night before. She was still complaining about her leg. That's nothing, I can remember running a 5 K with two broken ankles and being drunk out of my mind. Of course I collapsed 3 feet from the starting line and had to be rushed to the emergency room, but that's not the point. I never complained about it.
Come back soon, please.

Mary said...

Yeah Willie,
Cut out the nice crap we know it isn't the real you...and I gotta say I have to quit with my sweet comments to you no matter how sensitive you are...sorry Josh it just isn't working for me....two broken ankles and drunk...now come on...I can believe the drunken pass out at the starting line but the physical maladies???? I must admit I do agree with you on one point...the single foot isolations... aka... Victor needs a break and start breathing again...I rate it right up there with Dan's single foot ankling....(okay did I spell ankling right it looks weird)....later, M

Hey Amy, is Bob a real Ironman - I mean, has he done the full 3.86K swim, followed by the 180K ride, followed by the 42K run? I've got a ton of respect for anyone who can complete one of those.

Running a marathon or riding a century is enough for me.

Yeah, He's the real deal. He did Kona- which you have to qualify for or win one of the few lottery positions that are available. To make Kona men usually have to complete all three legs in less than 10 hours. Several of my old team mates from Long Island have done that race. They were very fast and talented triathletes.

Pregnant Carrie's hubby is on his way there this year (I have my fingers crossed.) We'll all send some positive energy his way come July when he makes his attempt at the IM in Lake Placid. He is the best Triathlete in our area and a really nice guy.

Later,,,

Amy

Yeah I knew someone who knew someone who knew someone who won an IM to make it to Kona.

Those IM guys and gals are insane.

I reckon I could do the cycle and run portion if I killed myself with single minded training for the next few years, but I would drown trying to swim 4K.

Someday, I hope to go insane...

Some day, Ha!

Oh sorry Amy I didn't mean that I was just kidding you. This is a shout out to all the people who don't know Amy. She is a sweet heart and not insane but a caring and loving mother and wife. Why next to Amy, Mother Teresa looks like a devil worshiper. Why she was just telling me that we could bring peace to the world by giving everyone a puppy. She is the best.

Willie,

You know it as well as I do. I am already insane. So cut the nice crap. My hubby reminds me of that fact pretty much every day. And I don't like dogs, puppies yes. I 'll bend there but I would go off the deep end if I had another mouth to feed. Even if it ate the crumbs off the floor, it would still find a way to annoy me. So there you go... Please stop being so kind, it makes me want to puke.

Amy, would it make you feel any better if I said you were already 3/4 insane? :-)

All the best on your ambitions though. Such a minute fraction of a percent of the population can say they are IM.

That's better. I can swallow that. I'm at the half fraction point... on my way to utter insanity. :) I bet Carrie will go there too someday!

Cheers for the night. Tired.

Amy
