I don't know why, but I just didn't want to look at it any more! :)<br /><br />Hey I have a Felt tri bike that I'm looking to sell. It was my first tri bike and it's in perfect condition. I have it on my trainer right now, but am getting a new bike this spring and want to make sure my first love goes to someone who's just starting out. I know you didn't want to buy one, but I wanted to throw it out there. I don't know how tall you are or anything, but I could give you the details if you are interested! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771758178064698651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-14923720403975320962011-01-03T15:38:36.129-05:002011-01-03T15:38:36.129-05:00Our tree will come down tomorrow as it is Al's...Our tree will come down tomorrow as it is Al's last day of hol. We bought a fake tree this year as I could just not do needles with Murray and all his clobber!<br /><br />Great about the running buddies - LOVE running with my buddies and v excited about getting out tomorrow with them while Al's still off.<br /><br />Totally understand why you prefer to feed Kara and then go out!!!!<br /><br />Dark timke running scares me too. If I ever want to do a longer ultra I'll need to get over being a big girl's blouse though!

I'm going to start looking for some trail groups in Wissahickon - when it comes down to it, I just prefer running with other people.<br /><br />As for the road bike, I would totally lend you mine, but it's still in a box post-Ironman :) If you have someone you can borrow from, I might go that route until you decide whether you're really into it.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004677338036439657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-89361962258221530552011-01-03T09:20:57.242-05:002011-01-03T09:20:57.242-05:00We have a fake tree and for some reason I could wa...We have a fake tree and for some reason I could wait to take it down. I typically love to have it up as long as possible but this year it went up 2 weeks later and come down a week earlier. With kids we need the space.<br /><br />That is great that you have connected with a couple of groups. I would love to find some groups in my area<br /><br />I started a bootcamp today and we ran outside at 5am and it made me a little nervous since I could not see and there are some ice patched I think I am going to invvest in a headlamp... I dont think they are too bad...Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062420194144905467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-74168907083191906442011-01-03T08:11:47.647-05:002011-01-03T08:11:47.647-05:00Our tree is living, so it comes down usually New Y...Our tree is living, so it comes down usually New Year's Eve/Day or a couple after that. This year is was New Year's Eve. We also had the plastic tree growing up but I can't remember when we took it down. I've only run in the dark a couple of times and then only b/c there were going to be other people out and about for safety. Obviously this doesn't apply here, so have fun - try it and see if you do need some added light. ll the group running sounds fun! I know what you mean about being pushed - I did a long run with a friend 10 years younger than me a couple of months ago and it was awesome, even if I was a little zonked at the end!

That was what my Mom always did and I have just followed suit, however my hubby would keep it up until Valentine's Day if we had a fake tree!!<br /><br />It sounds like you have some great leads on running with people. That is one of my goals this year. We live in a completely new place and I think it would be a good way to meet new people. I get so nervous though running with people I don't know. Oh and I'm not so great running in the dark since I have night blindness and a terrible case of the scaredy pants!fancy nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645116527352135569noreply@blogger.com
