Mad Mutant Manatee Mentors 4--CLOSED (Page 11)

I survived another "day" of higher learning commission meetings. By 3 I was running the lake front trail on the shore of lake Michigan. There were more people out there running than in most of the races I've done. Kind of fun. 9 miles total.

And can I just say "bollocks"? I really want WSU to beat Louisville.

Meetings tomorrow from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. I may have to hit the treadmill again tomorrow.

Update for the manatee peeps.  30km road ride.  Yes me.  It was nice, we chatted the whole time - have I mentioned he's hawt?

Anyway it was lovely, we certainly weren't pushing it but 30km on the Trek is a first!  It's a beautiful sunny autumn day, came back into a headwind so we had to work harder, we passed a few though and that felt good!  He makes me feel safe, he takes care of the drivers that shout at us - I feel very much a girl and let him do his manly stuff! Shame on me!

I am having a hair cut this afternoon, there is a salon open on aSunday - awesome.  Cannot wait it has been months, about 7.

As an English gal there is never a bad time to say bollocks.

Wowee zowee! You've set a very high, very bright bar for my next shoes. I'll probably have to wear my new goggles to look at them again...

Ouch.  That loss is gonna hurt for awhile. Sooooo, charge or block?

That's what I broke in my ski injury in May of 08 (plus my pelvis).   Am I going to have an "AZZ Screw sister"?    (remember that pic)

Richardsdrr - 2013-04-07 5:03 AMI've had a week of training PBs, which is nice. Started off the week by breaking both my 10 km and my HM Bests whilst on a long run, sweet, then, this mornings run gave me a new 5 km pb and have knocked off another 1 min 7 secs to bring me under 25 min barrier on ,y way to my sub 20 target . I am reading the JD book u recommended Salty, and so far, I'm liking it. I am already going to apply one of the teachings from it. That is, I'm gonna train at the current stress level for the next 6 weeks rather than raising the bar each time I pb. Hopefully reduce the risk of injury/burn out. Good luck to all the racing manatees out there this weekend, not that you'll need it. You've done the training, now reap the rewards.

Wayto go with the PRs Darren. What is the book that you are reading.

Thanks. The books Jack Daniels Running Formula, as recommended by Salty. I'm looking at getting a gait analysis done this month also. My daps have about 350 miles on em now and I'm getting a sore big toe whilst running. However, reading on some other forums, particularly ultra runners, some people say the 400 mile per trainer set is a myth and many of them are running on theirs after several thousand miles. They do change the insoles regularly though, and I noticed that the sport shop that I was going to get my gait analysed at also do customised insoles. So, perhaps that may be a more suitable/affordable option, as I don't fancy buying new treads every 2-3 months.

I have often wondered if the 400 mile thing was a "fact" started by the shoe manufacturers.  I know I have worn mine way more than 400 miles.

Those shoes rock!

That was NOT a charge!  Horrible call.  I am not a fan of either team, but I am also not a fan of a bad call ruining a great game.  

Basketball is what they play when they can't make good ice.  Canucks are up 4-1 over Calgary.  BTW, did you all know it was a Canadian that invented B-Ball?

I have to walk away from that. lol

Chicken!

Ok, so I can't get texts to follow Salty at Boston, but I can get emails
