Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 139)

Go Julie!  That is fabulous news!!!  Keep working it.

Waiting to hear how Julie's 5K went...

Good morning all...

Good luck to Yvonne and Julie...both are racing today   I hope I haven't forgotten anyone

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and train safe.  

I am so sorry that your ankle isn't better.

Sadly, the ankle is just not ready to run. It is so frustrating as I am still not positive exactly what it is. I had a good session with my chiro for some ART on Wednesday and it felt better but then went on a 14km hike with the school on Thursday and that definitely did not help things. So long story....short....no racing today. The positive side...since it is a race series, they did allow me to transfer my entry to a later run.

Cheri, Nicole, and Julie... hoping you all have/had fantastic races this weekend +Monday

That's right!  Before my first tri, my neighbors must have thought I was crazy.  I came tearing down the driveway with my swim cap and goggles in my hand, threw my bike stuff on, rode around the block, came back and changed into my run stuff and took off again.  They were probably just shaking their heads -- they already think I'm nuts because I run every morning (and darned early).

The weather has got to clear up!  We've got a low spinning out in the gulf and dumping tons of rain on us!  But I'd rather have this than a hurricane (or even a tropical depression).  But the rain and wind and thunderstorms make it hard to get out for my planned bike ride.

Hi everyone- just making a brief check-in to say hello- haven't forgotten about this super team-- getting updated with everyone's posts. Sounds like we have some injuries (ugh), some awesome racing, and steady training going on!!

I'm getting ready to head out tomorrow to find some hills for biking. We are in a extremely flat area- here in south western Ontario- the only incline we have is riding up an overpass!! So we're getting up early- driving over an hr- to find some inclines!!! I'm a tad nervous- as am a slug going up, and kinda scarred flying down- so will try to dig deep and find some ... "COURAGE!!". Should be interesting... I need the experince as my first HIM in July has some hills!!

Cheers everyone- happy, safe training!!

Julie, I am SO PROUD of you!!!  35 minutes is awesome, even without hills.  You must have had an incredible group of 77 people.  Most of our local races have categories for run and walk, and I just looked up the last 5K (which was last weekend).  The very last runner came in at 47:16, so you would have beat him by 12 minutes!  SUPER JOB!!!!

First, I love that you say "my first HIM" -- sounds like you have many more planned for your future.  Good for you!  And second, I also love that you are attempting to conquer those hills.  I remember the first time I came "screaming" down a hill (remember, I live in Florida, and hills are a rarity here too).  I was so concerned, and almost let it defeat me.  I was even tempted to get off the bike and walk.  But now I love them!  And during my "first HIM" the only hill was a bridge overpass!!
