By popular demand....who the heck is racing this weekend? where? why? and you better be setting some PR's in the process! I'm doing a small local 5k this Saturday. Pretty sure it won't be a PR, since I haven't been running much and zero speed work, but I will have FUN. And, if no one fast shows up I might even podium.  |

Too many vacations for Suzy...she can't keep track of the day!  That is partially true. Of course, I am working less so who the heck cares what day it is????? In fact, I was just thinking as I was coming back from the pool "how the heck do people train for IM and work a full time job? and have kids? Lately, I am spoiled rotten. hehe, I wonder the same thing. My kids are grown, and I don't even have a part time job. My biggest obstacle is staying on schedule while traveling. I've got it pretty easy, guess I better get training.  |

So by Sunday AM I could be staring at 2-3' of snow, 2 wild children and a grumpy husband. AND NO RACE!!!! plus on Sunday I am supposed to run for an 1 hr. 45min.  I have come to the point of looking at our local community fitness centers for drop-in rates / times to get on a treadmill. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We may have some snow on the ground from Friday but if so, it won't be much. I'll be doing the last race in the Frostbite Series. It's a 3-miler. I guess technically it would be a PR for me since I've never run an actual 3 mile race (closest is usually a 5k). Sam - I hope you get to do your race on Sunday!

Me thinks by Sunday morning you will be happy to see the TM if given the choice between that and the wild kids and grumpy husband. Spend sometime downloading a few new songs and enjoy. On the other hand since my crappy weather will be in VA by this weekend I will get my lazy butt out the door and do a long ride on Sat and Run on Sunday. Just picked up a Trigger Point kit so I'm hoping to keep the achilles pain to a minimum and do my favorite 6 mile river loop. Crossing my Fingers!!! |

I have a half marathon on Sunday, a revisit of my first one last year...excited to see how it goes...now that I am better at my H20 intake and nutrition, I am looking to finish strong and not sputter along in pain for the last 3 miles, like last year. P.R. is a pretty sure bet, but by how much??? 10 minutes would be awesome! So last year was 1:48:xx....bring it on! I also hope you get to race, Sam! LOL, John, Suzy beat me to it with the spring roll inquiry Glad you made it a fresh one! |

Elite 3072 san francisco | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Quick question: Do any of you get super cold at the pool? I think the pool I've been swimming at is about 78-79 degrees and I am just shivering sometimes even when I am doing 50's with very little rest. My teacher last night said she noticed I was super tense from the cold last night and said I might want to buy a wetsuit top. I found this one on line http://www.wetsuitwearhouse.com/page/WW/womens-wetsuit-tops/777-XP117UN-01 Do any of you swim with a rash guard or something like this? Just wondering... |

Awwww, you poor thing!! No body fat to keep you warm. Wish I had that problem. And wish I had cooler pool temps. I think mine was 83+ on Tuesday and it felt like bathwater. Ick. I'll take cold any day! In all seriousness, though, have never tried swimming in a pool with more than just the suit. My answer to cold has always been to keep moving, but it sounds like you were. Good luck! Being cold in the water is a pretty miserable feeling, and once you really get the shivers it can be hard to control them. |

By popular demand....who the heck is racing this weekend? where? why? and you better be setting some PR's in the process! Not racing (at least not until April!!) - But I start my training with my coach(s) this week. It won't be an intensive coach just supportive and to help me out with my schedule and times. I think I got a pretty good deal for $250 for 15 weeks of coaching. :-) Is that good?! I'm not their elite athlete, so I'm not paying premium prices, but I think it's enough for unlimited email access, Training Peaks, set schedule for Sprint Tri and support. PR - CROSSING my fingers, would be doing 0.95 mi of straight running on Friday! I know it's not exactly the greatest thing, but when you're training from ZERO, and you see improvement all the time, it's just a nice high. :-P |

I normally hate the cold and "feeling" cold. Luckily, my pool temp is set between 80 and 82. Occasionally it does feel a bit chilly, but after I take the cold shower, it's warm. The Jogging pool is 82-85!!! Check with your pool facilities and see what's their requirement of the temp - if it's 80 or 82 - tell them to heat it up! |

Honestly, if you have already invested the time, the money (since this is in TX not WI), why not accept DNF? At least you can have a goal to finish the S/B, including riding on your *sweeet* Red Hot Cherry bike, but "try" the run. Do you think you can make the cut off times? Other than that, if you can get a refund or maybe some refund from the entry fees, then yeah, I can understand due to physical issues with the run...I don't want you to push yourself too much regardless. I've heard people just do the DNF because they know they couldn't do the run. OR OR OR accept a trade, and do a relay instead...you do the S/B, and a running pal can do the run. Will that work? |
