But I'm STILL debating the 5K...

If I don't, I'll still get up and do my 2 mile walk & later have to get on the elliptical. It's only an extra mile or so and I DID do that one in Feb and would like to shave 8 minutes off that time...

Decisions, decisions, decisions...


Well...I am motivated to get my score under 100 for 18 holes. If you are motivated to take 8 minutes off your previous time, who am I to argue the point?


I have no idea what my score on 18 holes is! I'm guessing a half a gazillion...

Are you patient with the idiot golfer?


I went out with a couple of friends today, and I was giving all three of them advice because they were asking me to help.

I have no problem with that. I am a whole lot better at showing a person what they need to do than I am at doing it myself....lol

Nothing to it. You have played before, so you know the object is to make your swing like a pendulum. Once you hit a few, you'll get it back just by pure muscle memory.


The thought of totally humiliating myself (like that isn't a regular event, LOL!) might actually get my behind out to the driving range before Labor Day! I usually hit straight...just don't have any distance, to speak of.

So this Summer yer gonna be coming to Michigan/Ohio.

Next Summer you gonna take me to the UFO Festival in Roswell???

One of my fellow team members lives out in Arizona and he said that if I come out that way, he'll show me around out there.


Plan it! Seriously...


Ok. It will be a while before I go into official Planning Mode for next Summer....but that will be the one thing that I definitely make a plan for.

No worries there. One of the people I played with was my friend Angie. She plays the game by hitting the ball about 40 yards at a time.

If you have the basic swing pretty well down, a few more yards aren't that hard to gain. ;-)

http://www.roswellufofestival.com/ Here's this year's event site!
But you don't have to be here for the festival to enjoy the UFO experience...there is a cool "make your own decision about it" museum and lot of related stuff. The streetlamps downtown are alien heads...

I did it...only shaved a disappointing 5 seconds off my Feb time (darn!) Once again placed second in my class because...yep...only two in my class! The wind on the first (uphill) leg was miserable but I didn't quit, so that's a success for me.

How was the golf game?

How much time you took off is totally secondary to the fact that you pushed through despite the conditions.:thumbsup:

WINDY!!! lol

There were a couple of times that I thought I had made good shots, only to have the wind push them well off the intended line.

I shot a 109 though. Not gonna complain too much.

OK. But you gotta PROMISE to not do anything even remotely productive tomorrow.

I retract the request and will have to play the moderately productive card tomorrow cuz today I twisted off entirely! After the 5K and some recovery time, I called a friend for lunch...from there she said we should be impulsive and I said "okay!" HA! We ended up in Ruidoso shopping, cruising around looking at bikes and people (big motorcyle rally this weekend) and ended up at the travel casino for both slots and dinner...then we went to her house and played Wii Fit (I stink at the balance part but honestly, my legs were killin' me!) Now I'm home with a glass of wine and my M2 friends. Is that non-productive enough???

I don't know WHAT got into me, but it sure was fun!

HELP! How come people can't take a hint and require that you be blunt and hurt their feelings?

Cuz people are exceptionally dense creatures at times.

Does smacking them in the head with a golf club help?
