Last Wed, hubby got this pic of me with Heather and the poster! she had just finished Escape from Alcatraz! this will be our 4th Ironman training together! I am very lucky to have her as my friend!
We both ride outside all year long so this our "pain cave" as this is a favorite parking spot to launch off for runs and rides. The bridge in the background....that goes from NLR to LR, worlds longest pedestrian/cycling only bridge! over the Arkansas River. This particular Wed afternoon it was already 91 in early May!
marianne -- you are so cute!!! such great photos. And nice lake where ever that is.
Nemo am I supposed to order a visor somewhere? I'm not as good about the Forum as I am about FB and I thought I saw a message to Michelle about ordering visors on Forum.
Hugs to all.
Hey while out at TOC...if you see the BMC car...yell in there and ask are you Jim Ochowicz (his is owner and director). Tell him you are his sister in law Pam's team mate.
Just signed up as a volunteer at Moo! I work 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Transition at Monona! Can't wait to be an EN Sherpa and see all of you! Now, to find a hotel room and perhaps someone to carpool with, from NW IN/Chicago area. Moooooo!!!
I have a room with 2 beds, right off the capital. you are welcome to the 2nd bed. It will be available for chicas that want to shower after race and go back for cheering. Let me know
Tracy, yes! Definately interested in 2nd bed! What hotel, how much? When are you arriving/leaving? I'm on the Chica spreadsheet, if you want to email me or call me. Let me know! Thanks very much!
That is my "parking lot" where I train I bet 5/7 days!! that is a small tributary off the Arkansas River... and a local parking lot for rides/runs. There is an RV parked there and now they are friends of mine and watch my car for me! they look out after the place owned by Corp of Engineers. Anyways, this really is my pain cave. visor, deadline is june 1st before price goes up and I gotta remember next week. m
okay can I blame it on something?? but who do I mail my poster to. sorry gals, I think Gina but now can't remember! ?? ironmarianne@gmail.com if you know and gimme your addy. thanks. m

No, actually it's Pam that is next on the list. Check the list on Page 4 of THIS thread. We've had more Chica's added to the list since the old EN 3.0 thread was first created. The list on Page 4 of THIS thread is the current list.
Yep, heading to the beach in the am. I will send it to Pam after my alotted time. How long are we supposed to keep it??? No worries, Pam, I will get it to you!
Ok, in taper mode this week & next for KS so starting to think about focus points for next 2 mons. Figure it'll keep me more honest if I share them with the chickas....
- Weight- steadily and slowly coming down. 4 more to lose by end of Jul, then will start to eat super clean and lean out in time to peak Sept. Shooting for body comp, so where ever the weight lands, it lands. Won't compromise performance for a magic scale number I pick out of my brain
- Core and yoga - need to reconnect and renew commitment. Felt 110% healthier by adding it in so need to find a way to drop in mini sessions of both as I know I can't maintain full EN plan + what I was doing before for these 2. Happy balance is what it's all abt!
- Swim- focus, focus, focus on technique. Perfect practice makes perfect swim. I will love to swim... I will be a fish.. Keep swimming, Keeping swimming (ie channel Dorrie from Finding Nemo)
- Rest & recovery- know what I need to do so like Nike says... Just do it!
- Enjoy the moment-- take pics & videos, be thankful and express it for incredible training and virtual training partners in my life
I will take these and break them into measurable milestones to monitor and ensure progress. What are your goals/focus points?
Not sure which forum to post this but I know have a meeting on Friday July 9 at 3p so I will come early Saturday morning for the ride start (just LMK what time and where we are starting from). Major bummer.
Hey gals- on my way to KS a song came on the radio which struck me as a perfect song for where I am on this journey to Moo. Think I have my 2010 IM song!
Green Day - Time of your life...
Another turning point; a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist; directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test and don't ask why.
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.

OK, it has taken me FOREVER to get this picture!! Yes, it is in the pain cave. I snapped it this morning after my long run. Poster will be enroute to Moo Camp. I think Pam is next!!
LOVE IT!!! Especially with the addition of Moo Jo! Sooo funny too 'cause I was just thinking this morning on my long run "hmmm, I wonder who has the posters now!" All those signatures, gosh it's cool!
Hey their Cowgirls! Just checking to see where the Mojo Posters are right now. We've got just 8 weeks left! I wanna make sure as many EN Cowgirls have gotten a chance to train with the Poster and sign it before we get to race weekend. Here is the last list we have (this is from Page 3 of this thread):
Poster 1 Beth Michele508 Leigh Marianne Pam Gina & Su
Poster 2 Linda Kitboo Kate Kathy Sheryl Joanna Kris
I think Poster #1 may have completed it's journey, but I'm not sure where Poster #2 is right now (maybe with Sheryl?) Who hasn't gotten it yet?

How about some Cowgirl logo tattoos?????

LOVE the pic Marianne! Heather looks fantastic as usual. You are both lucky to have each other!
Pam- all the info you need for the visor is in this thread:
The EN Chica Visor Thread
Gina: I'd be in for some EN Cowgirl tatoos...

Love the pictures, Marianne and Heather! And your pain cave. I may have to "upgrade" to a model like yours sometime.
Let me know! Thanks very much!

Kris- great song!!! Add it to the travel songs list !!
There is no doubt, this will be one of those times. So cool we all are.
G--every LR I fire up, Someday, and think of you and Olivia. Weird to tear up on a long run, but I do every time. Yep, we'll figure all this out.
Hugs to all of you
