The only time I lost weight/changed body composition due to exercise changes was after ironman (stayed the same shape throughout ironman training). My volume of training went down to 45 - 60 minutes/day, and incorporated resistence training. When I trained for IM and long distance running I gave mys...

vomit towards your competitors and maybe gain one age group spot

I love the muscle one!

You are a MACHINE girl!

sweet!

I think the fact that Lance did "good" makes it even more heart breaking that he was lying and cheating behind it. If he were the average pro-cyclist who wasn't so "inspirational" and wasn't putting his name behind research involving a very emotional and well known disease this w...

You are my inspiration

Happy Thanksgiving Hangover!

Week 1 column 1 for me today - probably a mix of from the knee pushups and maybe 1 regular pushup. Hey it's a start.

Oh... and he saved enough with his honest job to buy the bike of his dreams (and fancy helmet, shoes, kit!):

B's second trip to Sylvan (44 mins faster this year after coming off a sub 6 hour finish at Great White North):

You did it!

yeah it's pretty neat eh? Never dreamed I would see so much change come from sport! I am now working for a housing first project and a co-worker and I are planning a running program out of the community drop in centre. We're trying to figure out clothing, snacks, incentives etc... but it should be a...

Awesome job taking up swimming! Sounds like you are really enjoying it Holly

B graduated drug court. I went out to dinner with him and his lawyer the weekend before the graduation ceremony. He's an apprentice tradesperson, registered for his next half IM (July 1 - 2012) and saving to buy the bike of his dreams. We might even take a road trip in August to sign him up for IMC ...

Someone threw fireworks infront of John and I when we were walking on Saturday night. It really freaked me out. I can't imagine being on a bike and having to contend with that ****.

Thanks guys. It was all his work! He sent me a text yesterday: I couldn't have done it without you, thank you for an amazing gift and an amazing day. A day I will never forget. Neato eh? The other neat thing is he is no longer stealing to support his habit. Stories like these are few and far between...

I work for the local drug court program. B has been in the program for about 6 months. He is a recovering meth addict and when he came to us he was tired and had gained the traditional "recovery weight". He became inspired to run and started a running program. We got him some new shoes whe...

Thanks - I guess it was in the post by IB, but I missed it. Helps me to send a PM.

Does she have a new name?

That helps - ty

A while back (years ago?) I shipped a wetsuit out to a maniac in need; I am now working with a client contemplating his first half IM in a couple weeks and I'd like to pass the same wetsuit on. I know its a shot in the dark since I can't recall who I shipped it to (out east) but can you help if you ...

I did quite a bit of my long rides for IM training indoors because of parenting. I think if your bike handling skills are ok and you know what it's like to ride in the wind, rain, and with traffic it is a good substitute. I would typically give it a 1:1 ratio. Because if I was planning to ride outdo...

I am planning on doing this in August with a team of drug court guys... looks exactly like how I imagined!
