Just trying to encourage people with options.Kudos to you, I have tried so many things to keep me occupied during the indoor biking but to no avail, I feel the same way as Nick and Lee.

Wow, I do these same exact things while swimming!

Hahaha, no need to be sorry is all good.
Well, I can only talk to myself and brainstorm for writing while I'm swimming, but I stay busy...
I think it's just preference. I love being outside, and in my current situation, running or biking is one of the few ways I get to connect to my former lifestyle. I can only run about five minutes on a treadmill before I begin to experience mental agony. Outside, I'm only limited by my fitness level. I tried machine rowing for many months, and would listen to my field recordings while doing so, but still, just not for me. I would imagine rowing on a real body of water would be great though. Different strokes for different folks.I think you guys might be approaching it wrong!
You'll have to learn how to use the keyboard a lot better and faster if you want to be in our league.Wow, I wrote a lot today I am either becoming Lee or Nick hard for me to decide which one at this point.
Nice! no shoes either shodless moka?
I'm going try to make it the whole year with just feets... I've never done that before!

For me, usually all that's in the gym room is me and my toddler. My toddler talks a lot, but he's still a toddler and it's not very stimulating conversation. The cable is crap (I would barely consider it cable just because there is like 12-13 channels) in there so I can't even watch espn or anything like that, so then the tv gets put on opb for the wholesome kids shows for my son. So that leaves me with texting folks and annoying them at work or reading articles about my beloved Seahawks on my phone. I also have a huge love of being outdoors and since I've moved to Oregon most of my time has been spent indoors which I hate, the bike just adds to that.I think you guys might be approaching it wrong!
15 min hike 5 min run 20+ minutes climbing around on a tree and rope with Mike!
Yeah, a lot of my work is outdoors, so the basement is a nice cool place after that.
That's how I roll just want to keep you on your toes so don't relax
When I stay on my toes it turns into a bloody mess.....
Just read a whole bunch of posts in this thread. Need a mass like button.
I think we're all rebels in one way or another.
and one attempt at climbing the rope.
i ran for almost two hours with the dogs. i went early while the clouds were out. feeling good. found a tree to put a rope in when jen let me know she was on the trail. i climbed it but we didn't put it up high enough.
Lee, i worked too hard and long to piss you off with my Mafisms. no way am i changing that line.
Dama, si no entiendes, voy a tratar a explicarlo. creo que quiseste decir que debo de para de ser mamon. pero dijiste que debo de encontrar alguien a chuparme. y eso me gusta.
btw, what's a whimpy pushup? begging for cheeseburgers each time you come up?

Another most excellent 9 mile run at 4:45 am, 79 deg., 79% r.h.. Saw rabbits, screech owl, duck and bat.
legs good. feet good.
legs good. feet good.
45 minutes of swimming. 2 x 13-14 minute intervals, then a couple close to 5 minutes, then some drills. All outside in the sunshine. Where is the suntanned smiley? 
imaginary friends or underwater monsters? for me, it's a bit of both, depending on the day...........
evening beach trip with the kids.
Days like this I feel a little sorry for those who don't have big bodies of water nearby.
The sand was not too hot (even though temps were in the 90s, days in a row), the waves were HUGE, and the water was very nearly too warm to tolerate.
Played with the kids in it for a couple of hours, interspersed with two climbs up the great big dune, so it counts as some exercise.

Ran about 500 yards on the walk today. The hardest thing to do was stopping myself because I was feeling really good. Really concentrated on lifting my feet, especially the right foot. I took a video with my old digital camera on Thursday evening of me running a short bit and when I looked at frame-by-frame, it looked like I was toeing off with the right foot.
Also looked at website which lists local area running events and found an event that I'll try to be ready for. It's a 5K to benefit the JDRF, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation on the last weekend of October, so I think that should give me plenty of time to be able to run a 5K at a comfortable pace by then.
We're supposed to get some thunderstorms later and that should finally cool us down to more normal July heat.

16 miles this week. 12 in VFFs and 4 barefoot. My barefoot route (currently 1 mile) is a combination of old, rough pavement and some realatively new and smoother pavement. On Thursday, however, the reclaimed-water irrigation system was in operation on the smooth portion. Since I don't won't to run through that nasty, smelly water, I changed the route and ran entirely on old rough pavement and survived! We had a tremendous downpour yesterday afternoon (over 1 inch in less than an hour which is really something in this steep desert) that left debris and dirt washout along the entire barefoot path. Once again, I survived.
