Elite  4583   |  Subject: 11.12.17 Sunday RundayGood morning BT! Heading out for a crisp 75 minute trail run--it's sunny and 31--perfection! Yesterday my younger daughter and I went out for a hiking adventure so I could test out my new trekking poles since I'm delving into the endurance trail world--they were fantastic, can totally see why they are handy on treacherous trails. Now, if I don't trip myself with them, I'll be fine! Karen...would LOVE to see the pic of the vintage dress! I love that stuff! Happy to hear you might be back on land soon! I'm pulling for you! Have a great day all!

New user 1351   Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: 11.12.17 Sunday Runday Good to hear that you like the trekking poles. They may come in handy at Bryce. I can tell you that they were unbelievably helpful at the Tushars marathon this year for me. It may seem awkward running with them at first, but you'll get into a rhythm and then they just feel like another part of your body. Today was experimental run day for me. I signed up for a race called the Bataan Memorial Death March. It's a marathon in New Mexico with different divisions you can sign up for, and wouldn't you know it I signed up for the division where you compete with 35 lbs in a backpack. I've done enough fast packing before so I'm in semi familiar territory, but 35 is still a lot and I wanted to see what it felt like. It was more of a trot, but I think it will be doable at least for a trot/walk/trot routine. This will definitely make my training more interesting. |

Master 8250 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: 11.12.17 Sunday Runday What is this thing called running? Not sure I can remember how to do it outside of a pool! No beautiful weather here but at least no torrential rain. 2:25 on the trainer, mostly Z2 and low Z3. It kept looking like it was going to rain, but never actually did. I'd planned to take my MTB in for servicing so that if it ever dries up, I can get in some outdoor rides, but I ended up falling asleep with the cats and forgot! Need to take it in this week. Jealous of your trail running. Originally I thought I would try some trail races this year, but now not sure that is the brightest idea. Everything is kind of on hold at the moment--haven't entered anything. I'd like to make sure I can run first! The dress survived the tailor's and now I can both breathe and eat in it. (Too tight around waist before. Mom was/is skinny like me, but a bit more of an hourglass figure. My waist has gotten a couple inches bigger since I started tri, though my weight's the same. Maybe all the swimming and core work?) Will try to get some pics sometime. I live by myself, so unless I wear it to a party (none till December) or (haha) the bike shop, it's going to be the dress without me in it! Or a pic of me on Tank the MTB, in a black dress that was featured in Vogue in 1962?? |

| 702 Aledo, Texas | Subject: RE: 11.12.17 Sunday Runday I did a 70' ride on the trainer, with 2 x 10' at 70%, 10' at 75%. Something I've noticed - on the trainer, my l/r balance is 47/53. When I ride on the road, it's typically 50/50. Weird. Have a great day! |
