I did my training group ride this am which was a big jump from what we have been doing. If it hadn't been overcast with wind, I don't know if I could have finished the ride. Being part of the group is the ONLY reason I kept plugging away at those 12 miles. Next week we are doing the exact route without today's stopping halfway for a break. I had to stop three times and I WAS last along with the "sweep" the person who brings up the back for those folks like me.
My legs and bottom do ok but my arms get wobbly the last half. I also can not seem to quench my thirst on these rides. I drank three 24 oz bottles of water Justin the ride. I might look into those replenishment drinks to see if that helps on the wobbly arms. I suspect this might be an electrolyte problem.
Taking the two youngest tonight to a parent night out camp at the zoo. If the storms don't arrive til later, I hope to go to the big festival tonight for the arts.
Keep movin', everybody! I know I can't right now. Lol
judycaretI did my 10,000 steps early (big icky heat wave starting today) and then went to the grocery store. Too bad standing in line isn't a calorie burner.
But i studied philosophy in university and have decided, after long quarrels with the deepest reccesses of my mind, to become a highschool english teacher.
(The most meaingful moments of my life are when i am connecting to someone deeply by bringing them to a more clear reality and passing on my fervent passion and insatisble curiosity for life. I know this isnt the whole job for english teachers but if incsn do this for a living some of the time and have a seminal effect on students, i will be fulfilled. )
I have been doing resesech but dont want to reinvent the wheel. One mentor can replace years worth of research and reading.
Some questions i have are:
Is anyone willing to message me and possibly skype so i can ask more in-depth questions?
Should i get a masters or just a ATP teachers cert? (I have a bachelor's in philosophy and plan to teach highschool english and eventually college level.)
What is it really like?
How is the job market now? Do they prefer certs ovee masters vecause of salary or do they like seeing the higher education degree. (I will most likely be teaching in new york.)
What are some helpful and Illuminating tips that you wish you knew when you were in my position?
Im sure i have more questions but they havent come up here yet.
I think you all for taking your time to read this.
men52Funny about the day of the week error! I guess being retired I don't keep track of of what day it that much anymore. If it's not on the calendar that we have something we have to do, it really doesn't matter to me anymore.
I have been reading posts on here for a while. I am hoping that it is true about your account is inactive, because I just got an email saying my account was marked inactive. Referred for 4, one interview and another scheduled. I hope the tentative offer comes soon. So much to do.
I am looking to fill several Special Education Teacher positions in Washington, DC. If interested, please call (703) 637-2592 or email me your resume at [email removed].
Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out.
