I would've eaten the wings and then dealt with the guilt later...which explains why you're 125 lbs and I'm not.<br /><br />BTW, I read you recent comment on my blog to my husband (about the BC pills) and he couldn't stop laughing!

I always go out too fast when I am running with someone and then feel defeated when I can't keep up. But I am working on it, too!Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14835739122022337358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347737109684156629.post-58128475302627849462010-02-26T21:56:53.091-05:002010-02-26T21:56:53.091-05:00Way to go on the food choices at b-dubs last night...Way to go on the food choices at b-dubs last night, and for trying the group run. I'm with you on that one and really have a case of the "I sucks" (negative bank?). I hate feeling like I'm dragging someone down, but it sounds like your friends are really supportive and will help to make you a better runner.<br /><br />Have an awesome time skiing!Barihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677387733194492488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347737109684156629.post-50490465815102740772010-02-26T17:12:23.781-05:002010-02-26T17:12:23.781-05:00Way to go, Brooke!!!

I know what you mean...our local running group's web site says they do an "easy" 5 miles at a 10 mph pace, which I can hit but not consistently, and not for 5 miles. Yet. :-)<br /><br />Hope you enjoy your ski experience; it sounds like you'll be having a lot of fun, especially since you're in good shape.Pubsgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05636089392777186992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347737109684156629.post-1365728046388318302010-02-26T13:30:17.786-05:002010-02-26T13:30:17.786-05:00Brooke, I know I've said it so many times, but...Brooke, I know I've said it so many times, but you come a long way, baby!!! I love all your bankable experiences, and yes, the negative ones are sometimes the biggest deposits!<br /><br />The thought of you and April emailing back and forth about wings and beer makes me smile. She's awesome, and I love her so much!!! Glad you were able to walk out with your head held high and calories left over to boot!

One of my best bankable items was the time I fudged up the swim last season at the tri. But then I came back hard, pushed through the bike and the run and still made my goal time. Negatives actually give you power for next time! It arms you! Congrats on the group run, it's tough to train in groups but it does make you better. On one of my rides, everyone smoked me and they were always stopping to wait for me. We rode 23 miles that day in the cold windy rain and even though I was slower than everyone, I was still faster than I usually am, so it was a victory for me! The people in your group just care that you're there and helping you get better -- they have ALL BEEN THERE before in some capacity! So don't worry! Their speed will push your speed! It's a good thing! Congrats on all you've banked this week!Christie O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16119774914469200174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347737109684156629.post-85071443649390145742010-02-26T09:17:27.361-05:002010-02-26T09:17:27.361-05:00I need to bank some of your will power.
