Along the path...

Maybe not - just found out that there will need to be a change of plans for the sprint. Info pending...

Come join the fun!!! Saturday, June 19 , is the first annual (if everything goes well and is fun) unofficial friends and family sprint . Meet at 8:00 am at the Lehi Legacy Center to Run/Walk (3 miles), Bike/Trike (8 miles), and Swim (500 meters) our way through a mini-triathlon. Please be aware that there will be no support staff at the transition points. RSVP if you would like to participate so we are able to plan prizes... And so we know who to contact in case there is a change in the time or venue. Bike Path Run Path

A friend and I have been training for a sprint . Not much has been happening in the weight loss department for either of us--even though we have ramped up our exercise routine a lot. It could be that we are building muscle. I've noticed my energy level is higher and that I feel better overall since we've been training. We've thrown around a couple of ideas for dietary changes and decided to stick to the Word of Wisdom as our basic tenant . A colleague at work told me about negative foods --foods that essentially have no calorie input because they require more calories to consume them than they hold. Not the first time I've heard about it, but I'm intrigued. Negative Calorie Foods ~ Vegetables asparagus beets broccoli cabbage (green) carrots cauliflower celery chicory chili peppers cucumbers endive garlic lettuce onions papayas spinach turnip zucchini Negative Calorie Foods ~ Fruit apples cranberries grapefruit lemons mangoes o ranges pineapple raspberries strawberr...

A friend and I have been training for a sprint over the past week or two. On Monday in the gym's swimming pool area , we spied this sign. (Thanks Linda for sharing your picture.) Notice anything odd? Instructions to call 911 in case there is a problem. Phone jack. No phone. Anyone know of a waterproof phone you can carry with you when you swim? At the same gym, the restroom sign below was on a stall door inside the women's locker room. How exactly does that work? The sign to come into the locker room says women only, but one of the restroom stalls will accept men...

So my sister-in-law is talking about adding a little spice to the family with a sprint . This is not a family calling plan. And before you go jumping to any conclusions that it's a simple, quick foot race let me tell you, it isn't. It means a swim, bike, run; also known as a triathalon. For a sprint it means a half mile swim, 13 mile bike ride and 3.5 mile run. Translation: sprint = crazy I'm mulling the idea, not quite sold on it. Willing to entertain and possibly try. To me it doesn't really sound fun. I'm not a runner; never have been. Dance? Volleyball? I'm all over that. Swimming sure. I'm a bit rusty, but it comes back, right? Like riding a bike? Part of that mulling includes research and interviews. Thank goodness for Google, the Internet and friends that have completed triathalons. Recently I dusted off my username and password, visited sparkpeople.com, joined a couple of Triathalon groups and asked a few forum questions. It seems a sprint is even ...
