Remember to call a friend that you have not spoken to for a while. Tell many around you that you like/love them without requiring anything back from them! "be thankful for what you have and thankful for what you DO NOT have that you do not want!! Think about it ----- !

I always look forward to using that Smilie! You got me on the fork and knife one, though. :D Happy Thanksgiving to you and Jim! Thank you - the same to you and Bruce! I think it's time to look for new smilies. We can't ever have enough smilies. :bliss:

I might be doing some version of the Turducken Workout this weekend. Swimsuitaddict also included a Turducken kick set: Kick set: 7 x 100 K @ 2:00 To continue with today’s theme, I made a 400IM--200IM--100IM turducken kick set and sliced it into manageable 100 yard portions. So my 7 100s were: 100 FL 100 BK 50FL--50BK 100 IM 50BR--50FR 100 BR 100 FR

In the well-established Forum tradition of resurrecting really old threads, and in the spirit of the season, I like swimsuit addict's 2009 Turducken set: Turducken set: A turducken is a turkey that is stuffed with a duck, which in turn has been stuffed with a chicken. I’ve never tasted one, but I feel like I’ve been reading about them as a novelty food item for at least a decade. The latest article I saw about turducken was not about food at all, but about privacy law, and ever since I read it, the word has been rolling around in my head. So I decided I would assemble stroke turduckens by stuffing a 50 of one stroke into the middle of a 100 of another stroke, then sticking the whole thing into a 200 of yet another stroke. I did four rounds of these; on the first, turkey=fly, duck=back, and chicken=***; the strokes rotate through the IM thereafter. The set looked like this: 4 x 350 @ :30-:40 rest interval 1st 350=100 FL/50 BK/50 BR/50 BK/100 FL 2nd 350=100 BK/50 BR/50 FR/50 BR/100 BK 3rd 350=100 BR/50 FR/50 FL/50 FR/100 BR 4th 350=100 FR/50 FL/50 BK/50 FL/100 FR On each round I aimed to do the middle 50 at 200 IM pace; the 50 before it as build and the 50 after it as recovery, and the turkey 100s at the front and back at basic aerobic pace. Serve this as a main set with a side of vigorous kicking!

Our team has a post-Turkey workout (and open house recruitment) on Friday scheduled and hopefully we might get a few who bring new people who might want to join the team. We'll do mostly short stuff that day, but also get some fun racing/competition in.
