Team Skinny - Back to School (Sept 08) (Page 10)

Comet: Sorry about the knee...I hope it feels better soon

Carlacrews: sorry about the sprint...thats a bummer  

As for the challenge between Sal and Shermmie...I know I couldn't do it so good luck...I always do more than my plan...I am currently 2 weeks ahead of "schedule" in my couch to 5k plan....yes I am that terrible of a runner.

Did a little DU today and a little plus.

2.5 mile run 26:24

24.84 bike: 1:07:59

2.5 mile run: 24:56

14 mile bike: 37 min's 

Hey, there!  Big congrats today, Saling!  I am so - soooo envious of your bike times.  That rocks!

Got a tri tomorrow myself.  Yikes!

Ceade?  Ceade who?

Congrats on the Tri TRIATHLETE.  I understand the swim part.  Its like"What the hell was I thinking?".

Cead- Congrats on your Tri

lkagop- Hope the race went well

I personally this weekend learned what it was like to be a fan in difficult race conditions...My hubby ran a half-marathon in a torrential downpour...it was great fun for all involved

I hope all went well Ikagop!  I'll keep an eye on your blog to check out your race report.

I'm having a personal battle with myself regarding my first Tri.  The last one of the season here is October 5th.  I am slightly under trained, since I got into this whole thing only a month or so ago.  I am debating whether or not to just do it.  Right now, I am leaning toward yes, even if I huff-puff through the bike, otherwise it will be on my mind all winter long!!  (For reference, this tri I'm considering is a 400m swim, 15m bike, 5k run).

enders_shadow - 2008-09-15 12:24 PM I'm back and I'm accountable. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Did you miss me? OK, so I met with a nutritionist who wasn't completely worthless and I spent some time doing some research on endurance eating...and probably I didn't have the right focus - everything seems to point to mixing food groups together - grain/fat/protein...not in precise ratios, but trying to hit 2-3 of each with each eating session...(oh, and making sure I eat before I run in the morning, something I'm soooo not good at). So here's the plan I'm shooting for (and what I've eaten thus far today to match) Breakfast 2 grains; 1 protein; 1 fruit; 1 fat 1/2 c. OJ w/ 1/2 scoop protein powder; 2 pieces toast w/ 1 Tbsp peanut butter Snack 1 supplement/1 grain or 1 fruit; 1 protein Light yogurt w/ 1/2 c. Kashi cereal Lunch 2 grains; 1 protein; 1 fat; 1 fruit or 1 vegetable Lean Cuisine panini sandwich, 8 oz Spicy V8 Snack 1 supplement/1 grain or 1 fruit; 1 protein or 1 fat Planned - apple, light string cheese Dinner 2 grains; 1 protein; 1 fat; 3 vegetables Planned - chicken breast w/ marinara & cheese; veggies; 1c pasta Snack 1 fruit or 1 vegetable; 1 protein or 1 fat Not sure on this one yet...

how 'bout a green apple w/ peanut butter...yummy

Josh-hope things get better out there sooner than you think

As for me, I had a mini meltdown last week, but I picked up one of the BT maintenance programs last week and I'm back on track.  Also last week, on my Sunday ride, a car of teenage boys threw something at me-not sure what it was, but it hit the ground hard enough for me to believe it would have hurt if it hit me...WTF! I wish I could have caught those little , what were they doing up at 10am anyway?  It is possible that I was better off not catching them because I was probably going to do something stupid like throw my lock at their car.  Has this ever happened to anyone else?
