Good morning BT!  I just realized I put the wrong date yesterday!  Oh well!

Heading out for a 15 mile run in about 30 minutes--going to be a cold one--currently it's 14 degrees--brrrrr!

Susan, (or anyone else!) I'd love to trade trainer workouts--I really don't have specific ones, just jump on and make them up as I go. I usually do intervals in 5 or 10 minute blocks.  

And here she is...

PRETTY car Kim!!!! Love it! I love my minivan but will be excited to get something more fun in a couple years ;-)!!

today for me is a rest day. Not like I feel I really need it, but since I'm only 2 weeks out from my IM, figure my body could still use the rest. I've been sleeping a ton so figure a day off from structured workouts will do me good. Wish I could go running - it's 32 here and my favorite time of year to run outside!!

A friend is doing IM Cozumel today - so will be tracking her all day!

I'll start posting what I do on the trainer. I usually just take a class I've taught and it works well. I have the inRide for my KK, so can still ride to power which is nice!

Have a great day everyone!

Nice Ride Kim!

I did 2075 yds this morning Ocean swim. Trying to drag my butt out to do a run this afternoon, but not looking good. TIRED!

I raced the Seattle Half Marathon today.  Finished in 2:08:08, which is certainly not close to my best time (1:40:40 in 2007, identical course), but I'm pleased with it.  During my last race (Mount Desert Island in Bar Harbor, Maine, 10/18) I injured my foot badly and have not been running.  Last Monday I ran 1 mile on a treadmill, no pain.  Friday I ran a treadmill 5K, no pain.  I'm doing a race-per-month plan this year, and long story short the only race available in November was the Seattle Half. 

I like your new SUV, Kim.  I've always liked Jeeps but never owned one. I am a real car nut, have been my whole life.  My daily driver for nice weather is the red one below, but for training I usually take my truck.

As long as we're sharing, this is the picture I sent to everyone who teased me for buying a wagon.

I like the cars! It was good weight session and a good run afterwards. I need to get the legs going as I ski in two weeks.

Have a good week

LOVE the wagon Jamie!!

Ok, definitely won't be posting pics of my mom-mobileā€¦but I do LOVE my minivan. Amazing how much tri stuff I can fit in it and I can roll the Tri bike into the back without having to take off the front tire!
I'll get a fun car eventually! Still hauling too many kids around right now!

Sweet cars on here! I am embarrassed to post a pic of mine, anyway don't think I have one. It is a charcoal gray Hyundai Accent. (Two colors were on sale, and it was that or banana yellow. Gray is probably my second least favorite color....after yellow.) It kinda sorta fits a bike without removing the wheel, if you don't have a passenger up front or don't really care about their comfort and well-being! (Always makes me think of a guy I used to know on our now-defunct tri club. A confirmed bachelor, he had removed the passenger seat of his sub-compact so his bike could fit in comfortably!)

Anyway, Sunday was "fun" in kind of a sick way. My coach wanted me to do a 20-minute run threshold test, and we decided that for traffic control purposes I'd do it at the Terry Fox run, which at least here is much more of a "happening" than a "run". There are no prizes or age groups. Lots of people stop for coffee en route. So that meant muscling my way onto the front line ahead of (not exaggerating here) about 15,000 people (probably 95% walking the whole way) along with a few runners from our school, using them as a human shield to avoid the strollers, rollerblades, and people who sprint the first 100m in their flip-flops, then walk, doing the first km faster than I wanted to stay clear of the scrum, then settling into a threshold test that was supposed to be 20 minutes. Unfortunately the course was only about 4 km, I hit the finish line in 16:50 something (Oh, wish I could turn back time and it were really 5K!), maybe #5 or 6 overall and the first woman, but despite being high-fived by a bunch of people from our school had to then KEEP RUNNING for almost another kilometer through traffic, etc. I was trying to keep going REALLY hard but felt so ridiculous--people kept trying to point me back toward the course! Didn't now whether to puke or crack up--came close to doing both when I could finally stop!

Feeling confident and cocky, after finally losing some weight, I got off my back side and into triathlon.
