My old roommate is British and super into cricket. For these games he is either listening or watching it at all times. He's tried to explain the rules to me but it's still pretty far over my head.

HI All:

Thursday is still here ...

I hope your training is going well and you are enjoying the beers you drink to reward yourself for your efforts.

Originally posted by bulfrog Well for those playing along at home, after the winning the toss England are 258 for the loss of 7. Burns top scored with 87 and Lawrence a fighting rear guard effort unbeaten on 67. For NZ Boult and Henry both took 2 wickets, but looks like England will regret not playing a spinner with Patel being the pick of the bowlers, figures of 2 for 34 from 14. Kiwis with our noses in front after day 1. But not by a lot and with 4 days to play. And believe it or not, but that all makes perfect sense.

Originally posted by Rollergirl Haha! You used big words on purpose but I think I got it! Sorry to hear about your daughter but glad she is better now. Dave, my Thoughts are with you. What a mess! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, you will finish that marathon, I know that, does’nt matter how slow you are. Played my best round so far yesterday and moved one up on the leader board, 2 pars and..... oh, sorry, is it not the golf forum? SBR wise I will have done all 3 this week, if I run tomorrow, (getting my first covid shot today so I don’t know if I’ll get any side effects). Only one hour in total (2 swims and one ride, @ 20 min each) but that’s a start.

Hi DQ, sorry to hear things continue to be tough. Keep your head up as best you can, and remember that sooner or later the dramas with your ex will b over. All things end eventually. Tough it out as best you can, you'll get through it. I really do feel for you.

In happier talking points, when is your Marathon? I'm about 16 weeks out from race 1 of my half marathon series. It's 3 October. as you're 16 weeks out that lines up pretty nicely if you want to work together for some mutual accountability?

Just a quick update before I dive into job applications... I came home determined to avoid the Coors light penalty. But I got caught up in family excitement (my girlfriend's daughter was going to senior prom and I'm the family photographer) and it looked like the ride was in doubt because I had dinner plus a haircut scheduled and a zoom meeting with my fraternity brothers for later in the evening. Again - avoiding the Coors Light Penalty like the plague - I decided that the haircut could wait for another day (not many because my sideburns are so bushy you could braid them) and so I raced out to get my ride in before dinner. It was a beautiful ride on a perfectly crisp New England day. Temps were in the mid 70s and the humidity was low. So there I was, on the bike path pedaling along when all of a sudden another biker starts to pass me quickly. I looked to my left expecting a young stud with a bike that is worth more than my car but was shocked to realize that not only had I been chicked but I'd gotten passed by a woman who had at least 10 years on me. And she didn't just cruize by. No instead she stuck a knife in my confidence by zooming off and leaving me in her dust. I'll get her one of these days - when she is 80 and I am 70. Then I will have my revenge

The plan for today is for a 45 minute walk when I get home from school. Coors light penalty is in effect.

Have a great day everyone! Enjoy your sport and your beer!

Nice work, Nathalie.  I used to be a decent golfer, around a 14 handicap.  Life (a child) and then my back injury have prevented me from playing much, but this winter I played nine holes down in Florida.  First hole:  3-wood right down the middle, 9-iron to about 15 feet, lipped out a birdie putt for a tap-in par...THIS IS EASY!!  That was the last par of the nine holes LOL and I shot a 52.  Strange game.

And for all you non-golfers, the only people that will talk about themselves and their sport more than triathletes are golfers.

Morning Andrew: I can run the marathon at any time between October 8 and the 10th, so I would love to have some mutual accountability. This place is great for that and I appreciate the offer. I have accomplished many things thanks to the members of this crew and with your help, we'll bag Boston and your October 3 race this year.

What did you have in mind for accounbtibility. I can't do everything at once - I need to focus on one thing at a time or else I overloaded. Maybe the first thing we can work on is nutrition because I just at a glazed stick donut while I typed this (sorry no guilt here - that sucker was good). But I also need to create a solid training schedule for myself so I can train without getting injured. Right now, I'm just focusing on day to day so I don't get overwhelmed but I need to put a plan in place to get me to the start line.

It's the most frustrating thing to know that you are capable of playing well, but just lack the mental ability to do it consistently.

Football playoffs happened Saturday, we lost game 2 (semis), so that was a bummer. My vball got rained out yesterday. I tried to get a long run in, but my body said "nope!" and I had to turn around early to (barely) make it home to the bathroom. I didn't have a mask to go in a business (we're still mandated in the city). So got in 4 miles, but need to get a long run in this week now. Gonna wait until after vball playoffs (first round) tonight.

Andrew, I am totally down for the weekly goals. See below for mine:

Nutrition
1. Log everything every day. (I use an app called Lose It! that I really like)
2. I am starting a 3 day juice cleanse this morning to reset. So my goal is to stick to it. The biggest challenge will be axes Wednesday, when we are having a Pride themed pot luck...
3. Once the cleanse ends, make my own meals for the remainder of the week/eat clean.
Training
1. 3-4 runs this week, including a long (60 minute) run
2. Try to get to swim practice Saturday morning - first one since before Covid
3. Do all my PT every day and do yoga (at least 20 minutes) twice

This might be too much, but I'd like to make it happen, so here goes nothing!

Hi DQ. Well the 8th and 10th is the week after my half. But for a full marathon you'll be doing a longer taper than me, so training will pretty much line up perfectly. For me, this week is prep and next week I'm starting my training plan. Its an 80:20 running plan, 15 weeks long. (I will be modifying it a bit to work in with life as we go tho)

What do you think would work for you for accountability? I would say something like a Sunday evening/Monday morning post publicly stating our goals for the week. Nutritional (which I also have to work on, 12lbs up from Ironman ) and the training plan for the week. We can then stalk each other online and make sure we're doing the best we can to achieve those goals.

For nutrition, I want to use myfitness pal more. In the past, when I've logged everything, and hit my targets, I've always lost weight. So I know it works. I'm following you there, and I see your workouts. But your diary is locked. If you unlock it, and agree to log everything we eat we can follow up on each other there for our nutrition.

For following workouts, are you on strava? You said you've started using your Garmin again. So if you sync that with Strava it's a great way to keep up with what each other is doing. My starva is in my signature line here, if you follow me I'll follow you back, and promise many kudos and encouragement.

Does that sound good to you? Or if you want to try something different let me know. Happy to do whatever.

All that said. My goals for the week:

Nutrition
1. Log everything every day.
2. Average under 2000 Cal/day for the week
Training
1. 5-6 runs this week
2. 3-4 hours total running.
3. 10+ foam roll/stretching sessions for the week.
