    Myles you should totally try a triathlon it's a great community with wonderful people who help and support one another.

    BTW the trail run was HARD! I managed not to fall. We missed a turn so only ran 11.5 miles vs. the planned 13.1 and I was grateful. I will be sore tomorrow.

    If I tried to trail run in the snow, I would trip over every tree root on the mountain. I am glad you didn't fall and I hope you aren't too sore.

    Is this the bingo card for Sunday?

    I didn't actually have 25 words on the list for this week, but most of those are on it. Good lick, players! The caller is watching!

    Next up ... FOUR miles!

    Then on to 26.2!! lol, with a stop at 6, 10, 13 on the way?
    Going from 0-3 is hard, but after that I find once you beat that 3 mile mark, its like you beat some mental mind game and can increase your milage quicker (for me at least)

    It's exciting to think you can work on your swimming and get strong at it. Then when you can run you will be on your way to the triathlon . I'll certainly will cheer you on.
    Legos, toys that will occupy children for hours teaching them about spacial relationships, and destroying their parents feet.

    This (bolded) needs to be their new slogan.

    And Thank you for that (in italics) I was seeing swimming as a sub par substitute for running, and was just mind grumbling about how it wasn't as fast, I didn't get the same rush, etc. I never thought of it as something exciting, as something new to improve upon. so Thanks. I will try to think of it that way. It might lift my mood.

    My phone won't quote right now, Mo, but quik is right. Nothing called on Saturday counts.

    It must be true. I've never had a sub-40 5K before, much less sub-35!

    Stronger is faster! Way to go!!!

    We've definitely all had moments like this, I find that when I log my food properly and I don't restrict myself I don't binge. But if moderation is not something you can handle keeping it out of the house is the way to go!

    Hugs to you and know you can do this! <3

    Wise words right there, Burlz.
    Ditto!

    I enjoy swimming just as much as running and can find the same zone that the world just slips away. Just embrace the swim! You'll get there!

    Ladies I believe Bingo starts today! Good luck!

    I started prepping for our 40 day challenge. I bought a few final cams of New England Clam Chowder to eat and then all non dairy soups. Getting physically and mentally ready!

    Daughter and I chose sleeping in over a hike. We will go for a run shortly.
    I confess: I slept in, and spent a good part of this morning googling gf chocolate lava cake recipes. I discovered I must go to Cost Plus World Market for more ramekins. Not that I need more than four, but I need enough to hold all the cake batter. Said chocolate lava cakes will be baked, topped with coconut milk chocolate ice cream (caramel was my first choice but not an option) and caramel sauce and fresh raspberries. This will follow up a meal of tortilla soup (I started making it last night - stock from scratch, then cook chicken in stock, the shred chicken into stock, filtering the stock through cheesecloth each time to remove little things. Last step, add in all the veggies and chilis and cook until veggies are done, serve with corn tortillas cut into strips and fresh cilantro.
    Super Bowl. It is all about the gathering of friends and family and food. Oh, and football too. XO

    On the plus side, I was down two pounds this morning. :smiley:

    The gf hot lava cake was a hit.

    I took Pamela's gf chocolate cake mix (very good to start with). I whipped two eggs, melted a large 72% chocolate bar and a stick of butter and mixed that with the cake mix and eggs and 1/3 cup water. I split this into 8 ramekins. I put water around the ramekins in a baking dish and baked about 18 minutes.

    When they came out of the oven I put a hot melted caramel sauce on top, followed by a big scoop of coconut based cookies and cream (GF) ice cream and fresh raspberries.

    TK said this was the best dessert he'd ever had (or top two and he eats a lot of desserts). Son didn't like it but ate the coconut ice cream and about half of the cake . Daughter did like it but only ate 1/3 of hers. I liked it but found it too sweet so only ate about 1/2. (I'm not a huge sweets person - extra dark chocolate for me please). The other four ramekins with just the cake in them I left for TK. He is eating one tomorrow and freezing the other three. Does anyone know how they reheat or freeze? (It is an experiment).

    Yay - it was a hit as was the tortilla soup.

    If Cindy is Glinda (on here) the she would have been hit with the same blizzard I was yesterday. We were under a blizzard warning since 10pm on Saturday, and all our major roads were closed for 12-20 hours (some are still closed)
