Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed (Page 12)

Big Fish in 2009 was my very first tri.  Hated that swim the water was so black!  learned a lot since then about how to ride a bike.

I am running the full Martian. Looks like it could to be a wet one.

Marcia,

From one April baby to another, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Awesome! Thank you. I will enable it now and see how it goes.

I appreciate your help on this one.

Adding format for Lynne, Question for the cleverer folks amongst the group - why are the rows I add twice as deep as the originals? In my edit view they appear the same!

Happy Birthday Marcia!

Thanks Mark for adding me to the chart.

I swam 1500 yards and biked for 45 minutes today.  I over indulged at supper, though.  

It's because when you add the row it puts in a paragraph marker which you can only see in the html version.  It's the same reason some of us had trouble with big gaps on the listing for the previous challenge.  I think it's something to do with how your settings are, but mine does the same and I still haven't figured out how to fix it, other than going into the html and doing it directly.  If you look at the html version there's quite a lot of crud in there, so I've been clearing it out whenever I can.  I guess it's just what happens when a lot of different people are copying and pasting the same data over and over.  But it's ok, I'm a closet geek, so I'm happy to play around a little

Happy Birthday Marcia!  Hope it's been a good one.

I decided to make today another rest day after I woke up with a sore throat, yet again.  I'm still feeling run down, and work's been a little mad.  Despite not doing any training today, I still spent over 4 hours on foot patrol and we think the kit that we carry is at least 14lb, so that's a fair bit of exertion right there...

I have a couple of days off from work now, and I'm hoping I'll start feeling a little better.

Ran 4+ miles at my MAF pace today. Wow, really had to concentrate on keeping my pace down. I don't have a HRM yet so I used my watch to check my HR at each mile so I'm not sure of the pace but it felt a good 2 minutes slower than my typical training pace. Also did 1/2 hr on the spin bike at MAF but that felt much closer to my natural training effort.

You'll be in my backyard...flying/driving in just for the concert?  Where are you staying?

 Do you "diet" or have you changed your entire nutrition plan?  Many of us did the Maffatone 2-week test and afterwards slowly reintroduced GOOD CARBS back into our diet.  I have never struggled with weight but I try to drop pounds after the holidays.  I bought the book THE THRIVE Diet, I am not vegan but I have incorporated a good deal of the nutrition ideas into my own meals.  I have a great deal of energy as long as I'm eating right.  The second I start slacking, I'm dragging.

New shoes came in the mail today.  Good run in them, just wish the wind was a bit more cooperative.  44:17 3.5miles HR 153.  Even though the first mile is downhill I think it was the fastest with the lowest HR since I moved here.  Overall average wasn't to bad considering...  I hadn't been running around the house on runs longer than 30 minutes for over a month.  When the sun is out..it is blazing and those hills seem twice as tough but I'm up for them this spring and summer!

This week has been trying to squeeze training around life.  Yesterday was a quick 30 minutes on the trainer.  Today was a 4.87 mile run in 39:16.  Tomorrow will be my last day of training this week thanks to going on a camping trip this weekend to get trained to be an Assistant Scoutmaster for my son's Boy Scout troop.  Fortunately, there are only about 3 weeks and a half weeks left in the semester.  Then it'll be much easier to get in training during the day, at least for a few months.

I've been reading the discussion on MAF training.  It's important to remember that not every training method works for 100% of the people out there.

Happy Birthday Marcia!

Ernesto, You running Texas IM loop brought back lots of emotions for me as a spectator too.  I hope it's not as hot this year!

Happy Birthday Marcia!

Work seems to be taking the best of me these days, hope to spend some more time hare in the future. Another thing, this site seems to be exceptionally slow and is always 'eating' letters as I type. This is  really frustrating. I have to type on the note pad, copy it and paste here. It is really testing my patience...

Joe enjoy the boss! The palace is a great concert venue.
