Hi guys! I'm on vacation!!!! So far so good. We had a minor mishap on the drive up. So I'm driving along and this truck pulls up next to me and the guy says "you've lost a bike!." Shit. So I circle back and do a few passes to look for the bike, totally panicking because I'm thinking OMG I could have killed someone if the road had been more crowded. Those bikes were tied down tight and we had just rechecked them when we stopped a few minutes earlier to eat. Anyways, after three passes of our route there was NO BIKE in site. So, either it flew way off the road in the bushes, or somebody took it. Unfortunately, it was MY bike. It was a nice one too. Klein Attitute mountain bike. Total bummer.
Otherwise I've been enjoying some time off. Oh, other than the EMERGENCY call from work yesterday. URGENT project needing attending to(they're all urgent). I had to call one of my peeps and send them to New York last night for the week. This always happens when I attempt a vacation. Sigh.
Had to come check up your post on the treadmill. Looks pretty sweet, but $40 a pop on top of gym fees seems a little crazy. But to not know exactly how it is going to fit into your gym (size or ROI) is frickin' stupid.
Watching the video, how come it looks like the first guy is always looking like he is going to fall????
Keep up the good work J. If you have to give up your gym membership because of the treadmill, it should be a problem for you. With the amount of iron you toss around, you can change your workout to picking up people's cars and moving them around on them (good for a laugh also).
Maybe it's like with parties - that saying "it's not a party til something's broken"?? Follow my warped logic here - it's not a vaca til something's lost? If so, then the vaca has officially started!!
My son kept asking me to go on a bike ride today. I said, "no, I can't, Mommy doesn't have a bike anymore." He tells me, "that's okay Mommy, I can ride MY bike and you can walk."

Hi Jill! I keep forgetting to pop over here and check on you. Glad you are taking some time for a nice vacation. So sorry about the bike!! Will insurance take care of it for you?

That sucks about the bike.

Way to command your minions. Dispatching them to the far corners of the globe.

Yay...worked out w/the coach today! After a weeklong vacation I was really ready to train. Vacation was great by the way. Lots of walking, hanging at the beach, kayaking...oh, and eating. LOTS of eating. Hey, it's vacation right?
It was hot as hell training today (we work out in the coach's garage and it was pretty hot and humid today) so I sweated buckets. It was okay though. I'll take that over cold as hell in January.
Snatches - lots of singles, worked up to 37kg. These were just okay today. For a while I was doing fine and then bam, things sort of fell apart.
Clean & Jerk - singles up to 47kg. These felt great.
Front Squats - 2x3x50kg (was really tired by the time I got around to squats...just did a couple sets and decided I was done).
Done. I think I'll be competing in August if all goes well with my schedule. More training tomorrow then off to FL for work. Damn work keeps getting in the way of my training .
hey, hope you had fun on vacation! i have the info for the contest if you're still thinking about going. It'll be at 4pm on the 5th. I can give directions from US 31 if you want.

I'll PM you later this week if we are definitely driving down. It will all depend on whether I've recovered enough from vacation to brave another 4 hour drive with a 3-year-old.

Jill, what you don't know is that your bike had a weakened front fork that was going to let go the next time you were moving along at a good clip and needed to negotiate something tricky (traffic, perhaps). Serious accident avoided. Thank God!

And welcome back!
Phew, good thing it fell of the rack and was stolen off the freeway.
I have begun the search for a new bike. This time I won't get a mountain bike since I don't ever ride it on trails and probably won't until my son is old enough. So I'm looking for a bike for just cruising around town. I love the bikes everyone rides in the Netherlands and parts of Germany. Sturdy and basic.
I'm considering a cruiser too, but I hate the girly colors they come in. I like black, white, red...not pink or lime green. Orange is okay.
Here's the problem with the cruisers. I think the men's bikes look cooler than the women's with the step-thru. BUT, being L'il, I can't fit on the men's bikes. So I end up with choices that a are much more hello kitty.
