Stickyrunner01 - 2011-01-25 12:11 AM DirkP - 2011-01-24 9:46 PM My weekly goals: Run 18-20 miles Bike 3 x on the trainer (60-ish miles) Swim 3 x (6500-7000 yards) This will be another tough week for me. I have 2 swim meets this week and a Friday band practice. Swim will be over soon but my youngest daughter has decided to run track this year at HS so I will have that to work around as the school year progresses. I am not complaining, at least not a lot, my girls will only be young once and I have missed a lot of them growing up already. I don't want to miss any more. Looks like a great week! Hopefully everything will fall into place and let you get those workouts in! Also, My dad was a runner when he was in HS and would always say when I was in HS that he wished he could get out there with me and run. He always said he would slow me down too much and didn't want to take away from my training, I always joked back and never thought too much about it. Now, looking back, I know it would have meant the world to him if I could have slowed down enough to let him enjoy a nice 2-3 mile jog with me. I'll always remember the meet when I ran my 10:19 junior year, because I never knew my dad's PR's from when he ran. I crossed the line, excited as ever... came over to him and he was very happy for me, but I could tell something wasn't quite right. He said something to the effect of, "well, now 2 of my 3 son's are faster than I was in HS. I guess I should have ran faster! But, hey, I get credit cause I ran on cinders!" Dirk, enjoy her running. As a HS runner, she should have plenty of miles to share with you. Go for a jog with her. Talk. Running conversations are some of the most pure because there isn't enough breath to BS. You two will have great conversations. I got a 45 min trainer ride in tonight 10 min w/u. 5 x (3 min off, 2 min) on with a 10 min c/d --> watched CARS while spinning, forgot how good that movie was  Very sound advice! I appreciate what your saying and I hope that she and I will be able to go running. as you might remember I get to swim with my oldest daughter from time to time and those are definitely memorable times. We get to spend time together and she can teach the old man a thing or two about swimming in the process. BTW, maybe you and your dad can still get a few runs in. |

I just got done escalating my swim distance to my max for workouts. I am at 4000 yards for one work out and I will probably keep the second swim at 3000-3500 with varying intensities. I don't see the need to increase my distances for doing Oly's this year and possibly a HIM 2012 season. |

I'm tired and not feeling well, so I need an attitude adjustment. Last year was my first year in this sport and I was new to all 3 displines. If you look at my logs from then you'll see a very different set of figures compared to this year (also remember that I have slightly more time dedicated to running as I'm not cycling at the mo) |

I only braved 10 miles in the sub 10F (wind was strong and ICY) it was a good ride, but I could tell I haven't had a ride in a while (my bottom was SORE!!) anyways, I figure at least once a week on the road bike, shorter distances and I can tough it up in the cold!! This week I am fighting a sinus thingy...ugh. but yesterday I warmed up with a 30 min plyo stregnth training dvd then finished up a tempo run. this morning, I could not get out of bed feeling better now, just not sure if I'll be able to make up the missed work out. tonight should be 2500 yrd swim if the y got the heater fixed on the pool (yesterday it was down to the high 60s but dropping and avg of 5 degrees a day) seren congrats on your first winter tri!!! can't wait to see the RR as well!!! |

I LOVE the story about the mishap on the ski hill :-) I really do think pictures would have been great. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to bike in the snow/slush. Way to get out there and try something new! |

Member 175 Indianapolis | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - The bus is FULL! Mid-week check in... How is everyone progressing on their goals? For me, I have accomplished 3 out of my 5 runs (13.6 out of 18-20), and (so far) 1 out of 2-3 trainers rides. Another will follow tonight. Run frequency - 60% Run Volume - 75.6% (18), 68% (20) Bike frequency - 50% (2), 33% (3) Seeing how much I've accomplished so far this week, I might try to get to the pool tomorrow evening If I don't end up working. |

Master 3486 Fort Wayne | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - The bus is FULL! I am doing decent for completing my weekly goals but I am about blown up right now. I have gotten about 6 hours sleep the past few nights and I am waking up 15-30 minutes before my alarm goes off. I hate when this happens but i know it goes in cycles. I got a 5 mile run in tonight and was considering a trainer ride too but I am going skip it since I am shot. I hope to be able to get it in tomorrow night but I have a swim meet to go to first so I am not going to commit just yet. If I don't do it tomorrow night I may try to do all three disciplines on Friday at a lower intensity. |

Regular 104 | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - The bus is FULL! Ok all, this might sound silly, but if you look at my sig line I already did it. I was wondering if we could all put our names on our sig line, I am having a heck of a time remember first names !! anyways, it would help me out Dirk & Sicone, My problem this week has been sleep related as well. These issues normally tend to work themselves out but it is taking every ounce of will power to drag myself out of bed every morning. Stickyrunner- good job on the runs! sounds like you need to get some swims in Jayne- do you do much core work during the week? My brother has just started training with me. He had some minor lower back issues last week and just got the all clear from the chiro last night. But one thing I had mentioned to him is the core work! While I was doing INSANITY one thing mentioned over and over is holding the abs in to protect the lower back. Right now I am squeezing in a 15 min cardio abs video after my runs and then stretching. I'm not going to lie, I'm just trying to get rid of a "baby" belly but the incidental benefit is stronger core!! Just a thought! Good job getting out there and training (and playing at the brewery!) this week! As for me, I have actually woke up/got out of my warm and cozy bed 3 out of the 4 mornings I had planned!!!! 3 out of 5 runs done 2 out of 4 swims done 1 out of 2 bikes done One swim tonight and one on sunday afternoon. another long run on saturday then a short hill work on sunday going to try to get a bike in on saturday as well. I did have a swimming breakthrough last night! Swam my first mile nonstop!! AFter a nice warm up and some drills, I was going to do a ladder up then back down, but I just felt like I should keep on going, so I did! I felt good too when I was done, I could have gone further but wednesday nights are busy and I only have an hour to swim!! Just 5 months ago I could barely swim 50 yrds without dying!!! WOOT HOOT! Now if only I could find my biking breakthrough A question? What kind of nutrition plan do you guys follow? |

At the risk of annoying some people, my weight has never really been an issue for me and it hasn't changed in the last 20 or so years so I don't follow any nutrition plan at the moment apart from generally eating sensibly (with the occasional treat thrown in, but that happens less and less). Once I start training for longer distance races (HIM's, IM's), then I will start to take my nutrition more seriously. |

For a general all around plan I have been following The ZOne diet and it has worked well for me. I do increase carbs with any workout over 1hr - 1:30 hr and my calories do go up and down according to the workout but I always fall back to the zone! |

Expert 1249 MI | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - The bus is FULL! dreaming80 - 2011-01-27 9:58 AM A question? What kind of nutrition plan do you guys follow? I don't really "follow" a plan as I generally speaking have pretty good eating habits (generally speaking being the keywords!!!!!! haha!) Anyway, as of late, I have really been trying to focus on getting lots of fruits and veggies in. For the past week or so, I have been writing down what I eat, and found that I generally have been getting 6-7 servings of fruits and veggies. Of course this is not bad, but I decided to try to make it a goal to get at least 10 in. (I don't have a particular reason for choosing 10, it was just a whole number.) Another thing I was specifically looking at is my calcium intake. When I was growing up, I had milk with almost all meals, but after college, that kinda stopped, and I wasn't sure if I was always getting enough. I found I was usually getting in about 2/3 the recommended intake, so I'm also trying to get in the 100%, at least. (which actually isn't too difficult, just add cheese! )In terms of becoming a healthier person overall, it's always about the lifestyle change, not just going extreme and cutting something out completely, which just increases the likelihood of failure. So I think it helps to create small goals, maybe one week at a time. Perhaps start with focusing on trying to eat xx servings of fruits and veggies one week, focusing on getting a solid healthy breakfast the next week, etc. It's about being able to implement changes to your eating habits for life, right? Little steps. A side note, going back to my "generally speaking," my FAVORITE ice cream is Edy's LIMITED EDITION (this is important) girl scouts thin mints ice cream. Because it's limited edition, it only comes out for a few months per year, and I very much look forward to it. It just came out recently, and I was sooooooooooooo excited!!!!! Thin mints are also my favorite girl scouts cookies. -Samantha |

Master 3486 Fort Wayne | Subject: RE: Stickyrunner01's Group - The bus is FULL! dreaming80 - 2011-01-27 9:58 AM A question? What kind of nutrition plan do you guys follow? I am with Samantha here in most ways. I eat decent most of the time but there are plenty of times where decent is nowhere near what I am eating. I eat too much junk overall and I need to cut it way back. That has always been a weakness of mine. I agree that trying to cut something completely out is setting yourself up for failure and I never have tried to do that. I have, several times, cut way back on the junk but it seems I always return but more times than not I am able to keep it a lower level than before. I get some fruits and veggies most days and I ALWAYS have milk, especially on harder training days. The additional protein can make a world of difference in recovery. I started drinking Muscle Milk while training for my marathon last year and I know that made a difference in the way I was able to keep some of my training going. I am planning a huge day of training today and then back to my usual weekend routine. I am going for a swim in a few minutes then a 9 mile run and an hour trainer ride if I can stand it. I will space these out throughout the day to avoid collapsing at the end but I missed my mid week bike and I want to keep it up there. The rest of my weekend plans are 1.5 hr ride and 2 mile run tomorrow and 5 mile run and 1 hr ride Sunday. We'll see how my legs hold up. Edit: Jessica, Paste this into your log somewhere. I have placed it in my notes down on the right side of the page a bit. You can check it in my logs if you like.
