I have this Iron App and I want to delete it so all my races aren't automatically posted weekly. Like who the he$$ wants to see that all the time? HELP!
Easy - Go to Account Settings --> Privacy Settings
Down on the left is a link that says "Edit your Settings" Then click on "Edit Settings" next to "Apps you use". Then scroll down and find the apps and delete it.

Spill it! If there isn't a race in your near future, tell us what you did during the off season that seems to really have made a difference to your performance.
Off Season - ha! I was SUCH a slacker in the off season, it's so sad. I think I should have run more/better as the run currently sucks. My swim performance has improved, my bike performance is still the same, but improving now that I got a much better fit and new handlebars. I'm not worried about my performance for IronGirl since it's just a fun race. After that, I will be more religious with my training. Now that I have a running partner that has been running since she was 9, she will help me improve big time. |

YAY... So proud of you.... SMART CHOICE. I didn't listen to friends and some people here. I mean I did to a point but not fully, now I am missing my first HM this year that would have marked the 1 year since I started my weightloss/health journey... Now that I can't and I am missing it.... IT is tearing at my heart. I know I will HM some day. But it would have just ment so much to do it at that time with my friend and work out partner (she was going to spanky my azz anyways in it) and on the anneversary of my Dad's passing. My whole.. "I will ice it and run in a few days, and then run." was wrong. I know we are all broken records here. Flip the off switch if you want. But the Tendon was pain issue. Root cause was several other things that kept revealing themselves as time has gone on. I am PROUD of you for going now. Missing a week or two now is soo much better then 6-8 weeks later. If it turns out to be nothing GREAT. But you did the right thing.... |

Myself there is not a lot of people where I live that bike, swim, or run (but the running % is going up). So I have probably train 99% of the time by myself. Though yesterday I was able to run with someone and that was a refreshing relief seemed to put an extra step in my run. run and bike solo 100% of the time. swim used to be and still kinda is, but the same people show up at 5 three days a week to swim so we have kinda an informal group. |

Spill it! If there isn't a race in your near future, tell us what you did during the off season that seems to really have made a difference to your performance. Back in the office today (getting my A$$ handed to me with workload), the trip to Mexico was way overrated and I got very little time to work out or do much of anything but attend meetings and network. Why do they have you travel to a nice place a long way away to sit in a conference room looking out the window at the nice beach???? What a waste! Caught up on the posts and the only input I can add is that all this "Baby Monitor talk" makes me feel really old. I am always in bed long before my kids now and I am much more worried about my kids sneaking out or getting into my beer fridge! What I did in the off-season that is really supposed to make a big difference in my performance is yet to be proven.......

Did have that screaming moment once that Trev and Julia had...apparently I was a little too into my run that time Fatty - I would advise against using the treadmill in the dark...but if you do, make sure you wear reflective clothing!

My short rides are alone. Long rides are usually with Stef. My runs 33% were with our running group we recently started. another 33% alone and then a few with Stef (well we start them together then she waits for me after she is finished) Man when she goes to China this year to teach for 5 weeks I am going to be LOST without her. I am trying to recuit new people already. One Girl I helped learn to run last spring calls me up for runs now and again... AWWW DAMN I MISS RUNNING...... |

This is one of the reasons why I didn't want to go see a doctor... I don't have a PCP at all (we just started our new health insurance last semester), and our health insurance won't pay for specialty docs unless you get a referral from your PCP. So tomorrow's appt. is with a new PCP in Cedarburg. Hopefully he can diagnose me, but if he can't, then he'll have to refer me to a sports specialty doctor. It'll be a whole fun process, I'm sure... ugh. |

Elite 3072 san francisco | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed Love busy mornings in the MG! Rob-take care of that tooth. I abhor dental pain. A few years ago, I had a root canal go bad, cracked root, extraction, implant, yada, yada, yada. I wear a night guard now and pray that I will not crack anymore teeth from grinding my teeth together. Off season included lots of sleeping in. Joining masters swimming has been great for my confidence and has made swimming fun. I also took advantage of the down time by taking the opportunity to change my shoes to the Kinvaras and have been supremely happy with the way it is working out. Even though I am marathon training right now, I still feel like I am in the off season because the longest bike is 2 hours and swimming is just twice a week. And I must say, I love not being sore. Also, I started taking Sundays as a full rest day which has been terrific, as it means a great chance to spend time with Kathy and do family things...and be able to socialize and go out on Saturday nights without worrying about getting up early the next day. I am also not looking forward to daylight savings time as it means my last two long runs after this weekend will have to be on Sundays instead of before work on Saturdays. The sun has been rising at 6:00-ish which has been great but next weekend will be 7 am and I can't get to work on time since there will be 3:00 runs. Darn. I really have enjoyed having Sundays be a total rest day! But I guess 2 Sundays of sacrifice for Boston is not too bad of a deal! I cannot believe it is only 5 weeks away. Love the talk about treadmill running and hearing the kids. Gosh, Trevor, I'm curious what "girly movie" Michelle was watching! I also train alone for almost everything except for swimming, running is a time for peacefulness, biking, my schedule and workouts are kind of crazy...however I did enjoy cycling long with Linda. Where is velcromom, anyways??? Okay gang, have a great day! |

Master 2436 Apex, north carolina | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed Redknight - 2011-03-10 7:48 AM I got in a couple of good workouts on Monday. Tuesday I went to the dentist who told me I have a broken root on one of my front and it would have to come out. Yesterday morning I had the dental surgery. Dentist had to take the tooth out in pieces and then scrape any infection from the bone. Had some bone degeneration so he had to put in some filler to grow and suture some of my gums. Then put a temp filler in for the blank spot where my tooth was. Not much fun and still a little sore this am. So no strenuous workouts until Friday at the earliest. Having said that no racing this weekend.. not that I was planning any. Suzy glad you got the snow this time

Master 2436 Apex, north carolina | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed Almost all of my runs are solo b/c of my pace. Swimming is pretty social with Masters and open water swims, biking I prefer to do with people. There are too many crazies out there that like to hit bikers and being alone scares me. I'm sure I'll have to spend more time by myself as the miles ramp up but I am pretty lucky that most of my riding buddies will act as domestiques. |

Does Pandora have to go on a cell phone? Can you load it to an Ipod Nano? not just on a cell, can go on the computer or itouch or stream it over your tv. but i don't think the nano integration is there yet. Dave was just suggesting I do this on my bike -- connect to the computer and use Pandora for my tunes. I do the radio, and every now and then all of my fave music stations play commercials when I need some UMPH!! Sometimes I go to mp3s when that happens but usually hate to be fumbling around. But since I use the 'puter for the CT I can plug into that. Will have to give it a try on Saturday. Best part also is no batteries to recharge or replace!! Well, super-duper best part would be no commercials!! I do enjoy my local radio stations, though! |

And because I am following a training plan for my IM, I have specific things I want to do each time I head on out. That said, I have some friends I love to run or bike with, so often I'll let them know what I'm doing and if they can join me for some or part, awesome!! It does help break up the monotony. But I figure I race alone, so training alone is fine... it's a treat when I get to do a social workout! |

During waking hours, never more than 20-ish minutes (they'll kill each other, I'm sure!), but now Dave and I can both be gone in the early mornings for workouts. It is SOOOOOOO liberating not to have to be home to tag in and to coordinate who gets to do the early workouts. That said, when we know we will both be gone (rarely do the kids wake up before we awaken them), we make sure they know that if they get up and we're not here, it just means we're out exercising and someone will be home by 7am, so don't freak out. They both know neighbor's phone number in case of emergencies (and neighbor has agreed to be "on call," although neighbor is about to move away, wah!!), and supposedly know how to call 911 (thankfully have never had to test that skill!). I'm sure it won't be long until we're at Dino's stage of figuring out that the kids aren't home because they've snuck off to do who-knows-what in the middle of the night, ha!!! Yikes!

YAY... So proud of you.... SMART CHOICE. I didn't listen to friends and some people here. I mean I did to a point but not fully, now I am missing my first HM this year that would have marked the 1 year since I started my weightloss/health journey... Now that I can't and I am missing it.... IT is tearing at my heart. I know I will HM some day. But it would have just ment so much to do it at that time with my friend and work out partner (she was going to spanky my azz anyways in it) and on the anneversary of my Dad's passing. My whole.. "I will ice it and run in a few days, and then run." was wrong. I know we are all broken records here. Flip the off switch if you want. But the Tendon was pain issue. Root cause was several other things that kept revealing themselves as time has gone on. I am PROUD of you for going now. Missing a week or two now is soo much better then 6-8 weeks later. If it turns out to be nothing GREAT. But you did the right thing....
I have been having all kinds of problems with my legs form running. I just went to a chriropractor last week and it was a miracle. He told me that my femur was rotated so he adjusted that and deep tissue work on my legs and I felt better the next day. Mike

Extreme Veteran 368 Lamar | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed kkcbelle - 2011-03-10 3:51 PM fowlmood - 2011-03-10 8:39 AM How many of you train with someone else or in a group and how many times or just go solo
Myself there is not a lot of people where I live that bike, swim, or run (but the running % is going up). So I have probably train 99% of the time by myself. Though yesterday I was able to run with someone and that was a refreshing relief seemed to put an extra step in my run. I'm a mostly solo gal. My schedule is so restricted (trying to do everything I can when it doesn't affect the family) that I need to do a workout, be done, and move on. And because I am following a training plan for my IM, I have specific things I want to do each time I head on out. That said, I have some friends I love to run or bike with, so often I'll let them know what I'm doing and if they can join me for some or part, awesome!! It does help break up the monotony. But I figure I race alone, so training alone is fine... it's a treat when I get to do a social workout! This week has been tough just mentally tired of training by myself, so when a friend called me up a few days ago to go run I jumped on that talk about a relief and it was a lot of fun took some stress off . tonight my son did a short and easy ride. After that I feel so much more refreshed and ready to go for my HIM in about a week. |
