okay, john again. post-practice this time. we made it after all! and here's proof... more in a second, but first:
forgot to mention earilier: our bikes are about 90% put together (still waiting on some engineering genius to suddenly kick in for andrea on how to assemble our brakes. owise we're off to an actual mechanic, bc brakes are pretty much, well, essential). so anyways: we're raring to go on those things! it'll be good to bike a little on a saturday morning, too - these runs are murderous.
all in all: just a quick note to say, we made it to practice (WAY tough today) and got the job done - 30 minutes of running, stop and do a set of 10 squats every few minutes. OUCH.
afterwards, andrea bought her first pair of shoes from this store called jack rabbit sports in bklyn where they videotape your feet while you run on a treadmill, then play it back in slow motion to show you how effective a given pair of shoes is on keeping your feet strong and supported. the store is amazing, and also very supportive of team in training. so, much like gorilla coffee (see my last post), jack rabbit goes on the 'must do' for anyone in bklyn with a reason to be there. or even a pretend reason to pretend to have to be there.
no swim for us with the team monday (we're going to a concert), but i promise soon: photos of us getting wet. the pool where we swim is really something to see, to say nothing of our athletic physiques. so keep an eye out. - j

Just finishing the last of the squats looks something like this
