Regular 176  |  Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - ClosedPack took care of business, now its time for the Bears to do so as well. As a Bears fan, feeling pretty anxious about this one... I had a decent week last week. Even with the weather, was able to bang out almost all of the expected workouts, and shoveling compensated for the misses. Tough part of this season for me is: * A lot of indoor work due to weather/road conditions * Races are a long way out! Does anyone else feel this way? I appreciate the support of this group as it refocuses me every time I read a post. Good luck on the training week! |

Extreme Veteran 1329 Wausau WI | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Closed Living in the Wis, I don't have to wait till summer to race. I turn to skiing or snowshoeing to keep me motivated during the winter. I have a 50K CC ski race scheduled for the end of February, it is a race that has been on my bucket list for a while now. My skiing hasn't been going as good as I hoped so I might have to do the 23K race and wait a couple years before I attempt the 50K. |

Veteran 149 | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Closed 1:20 minutes on the bike trainer. Got 67 reps of pushups tonight on my way to eventually doing 100 straight. Legs were aching yesterday from the friday night spinerval session. It kicked my buttocks. I enjoyed the session though but probably scare the girlfriend away from doing the spinerval class with me. Hope everyone had a great weekend |

| Regular 152 | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Closed Been a while since I posted and all the work you guys are doing is motivating as all get out. Put in 1100 yds in the pool on Saturday. Lots of resting Elementary mixed in but the breathing is starting to become more comfortable - that slow down to speed up advice worked. Back on the tredmill this morning - thank you MLK - and got in a 1/2 hour as I continue that Couch to 5k program. A little over 6 pounds gone in 7.5 weeks and stairs a work aren't kicking my arse any more. This is great. Keeping in mind that I do not own a bike currently, have never done a Tri, and will be doing a Sprint as my first, does anyone have any thoughts on buying a high end big box bike ($250) over a LBS bike ($650) now - saving the $s and getting a true and tried road bike if I enjoy the first race? I am struggling with the concept of dropping $650 on a bike that may only get used to ride with the family later but don't want to kill my enjoyment of Tri #1 with a dog bike. Oh, and Go Pack! Time to go to Soldier and take hope away! Edited by gbswan 2011-01-17 10:16 AM |

| Regular 176 | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Closed Big day today, taking advantage of the day off from work. 7mi running then 2800yds in the pool. Form broke down as the swim progressed, but I gutted it out. Workout straddled lunchtime, so I was low on nutrition. Cramped calf getting out the pool. All in all, a great workout! Go Bears! |

Extreme Veteran 1329 Wausau WI | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Closed Erik, Not sure what a "high end big box bike" is, but that should work for your first race. I did my first race on a Schwinn. I have seen people in races using mt bikes. |

Regular 119 | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Closed Guys, It has been a while since I posted, just frustrated with the injuries and this calf strain (I think that is what it is) which I think I aggravated it doing step ups in the gym.

Regular 119 | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Closed Had to post something, we were on the second page. Can't have that. For those still interested, total weight lost for the year is now 3.8 lbs, only 16.2 lbs to go. |

| Member 30 Greenville, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Closed Eric, calf stretching with the knee slightly bent will get at your soleus (vs. straight leg which gets to your gastroc). Also think about investing in a "stick" (thestick.com). Great tool. Also have you seen a therapist about the shin pain in the past. You may need to look at the shoes you are running in and if you could benefit from a pair of orthotics. |

Veteran 149 | Subject: RE: Lumber Dad's Mentor Group - Closed Between work and family commitments I got 50 pushups and a 40 m ride on the trainer. Work schedule again tonight but I will get a run in there somewhere tonight. Might be multiple sessions to meet training program requirements. thats bettter than nothing or DNF. New bike shop in town that has Jamis Brand of bikes. Any one in this group had any experience with Jamis. I have read reviews on line just wondered if any one here had feed back. |

Stretched last night instead to planned run, doing it again tonight will get back on the treadmill tomorrow. Ian, I am right there with you. I found that using a foam roller helps tremendously with the tightness. I have been stretching at least 3 x per day and icing 2 x per day. I think mine is more of a calf strain and not a pull. Good luck. |

Plenty of Biking and running planned. Cant wait. Great time to be in FL. Temp for my run this morning was -5F, tomorrow morning it's supposed to be -15F with -25 to -30 windchill. Was down in FL this past July, it was usually around 80 for my early morning run. |
