KelliD - 2009-08-31 3:31 PM Question.....when you feel yourself falling into a training rut (and, not saying that I am) what do you use as motivation/how do you motivate yourself to keep going and stick to your plan?

evondo - 2009-09-01 8:28 AM I would say it depends on the rut... If I'm having trouble going to workouts because I'm dead tired, I take a workout off.  If I have something I'd rather be doing, I'll do it... there aren't many things I'd rather do at 5am besides sleep and I don't count that as a good reason for me to miss a workout (unless I'm dead tired!). I also change up my work/workout schedule a little bit every few months to keep it interesting and also weather/sunlight reasons. If I'm really looking for motivation I remind myself of what I want to accomplish this year and look at race results

evondo - 2009-09-01 9:33 AM Happy Tuesday! I got an exciting email this AM... I've been contemplating what races to do next year and this popped in my inbox http://www.ironmansyracuse.com/

When you click on the link you'll see it's actually a 70.3 not an IM, I'm not that crazy My grandmother lives near Syracuse and I have a lot of close family friends up there so I think this might be a huge possibility for me.  Plus can you say nice running weather!?! Time for me to read up more on the race

Newtons1st - 2009-09-02 9:31 AM Kelli sweet RR. Way to push through it. You are so going to rock the Horn.

Betsy0706 - 2009-09-02 10:00 AM Nothing wrong with being a goody goody!

Man this week is dragging.  Yesterday I thought it was Thursday.  You can imagine my disappointment when I realized it wasn't.

KelliD - 2009-09-03 8:57 AM Happy Friday.....well, Friday for me at least   Off tomorrow and heading up to Boston for the long weekend.  So happy this week is almost over....feels like this week could not have gone by any slower!

I think I might have broken my pinky toe this morning.  I can walk which leads me to believe it's not broken.  But it's the pain is awful and getting worse.  Also swollen, black & blue, hurts down the side of my foot and at the base of the next toe    My coffee table jumped out and smashed my toe....or I suppose I could have maybe walked into it.  I hit my toe pretty damn hard....and I'm fairly certain my neighbor heard me loud & clear when I yelled 'oh f&%k!'.

Trin2bfast - 2009-09-03 9:19 AM Ha, happy Friday for me too...  I made that decision this morning   Taking tomorrow off for me... I need a break, and what better time to do it than on a long weekend. 

'Please come to Boston...' lol!  sorry, I like that song... Have fun and enjoy ~ totally jealous BTW!

Eric, you are gonna have a great race ~ I smell a PR!!!  I haven't looked at the weather forecast, does it look like this weather is gonna hold or maybe even improve for the weekend?  Have fun and rock that beeeeoootch!

Nicole & Todd ~ what's up any fun plans for the long weekend?  I am not doing anything 'fun'... just making the time for some long training, working Sat, Sun & Mon evenings at second jobs.  Padding my Florida trip account, so that is about it.  I might hit the theater on Friday evening with the youngest to see that 'slayers', gamer movie thing... We will see.

evondo - 2009-09-03 11:23 AM Thanks! The weather keeps flipping back/forth between 68-74 at 7AM and a high of 92-97.  My fingers are crossed for that 68F!

I'm jealous of you/Kelli's day off, enjoy it!

Kelli- You need to weight that furniture down some to keep it from jumping around so much

Betsy0706 - 2009-09-03 10:17 AM Happy Friday to Kelli and Justin!  The rest of us will just have to slug it out for one more day!

I'm sure the coffee table jumped right out in front of you Kelli.  My furniture jumps in front of me all the time!

KelliD - 2009-09-03 11:12 AM ummm...didn't you just go on vacation???

Nicole83 - 2009-09-04 10:15 AM Happy Friday!  (you know, for all of us with jobs who don't get arbitrary days off of work...) 

I've missed you all this week, work is killing me here lately.

But something super exciting is about to happen (will post once it's official) with my job, so hopefully I will have a little more training and BT time soon.

Have a great holiday everyone!
