ebshot - 2012-07-03 11:27 AM I went for a 2 mile run today.  It was hot and humid and I totally melted and was slow as slow can be.  But I felt good and so happy I got it done.  Who cares what my pace was, I was out there.

Exactly. I am hoping to get out there tomorrow sometime. Our high should be 102+, but I bought arm coolers and a Halo headband in San Antonio, so I am prepared! :-)

How can you 'think of slapper at the most innapropriate times' and wear a halo headband?

Even I wear a Halo and I haven't burst into flame. Yet.

Spontanious combustion is about the only thing you haven't had!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a shame there was not six hundred and sixty six entries, or i could have suggested an appropriate number

I'll take that as a compliment!

So how's taper treating you so far? You look pretty good.

POD: look closely at what is on this towel... I used it ALL DAY on the boat while drinking beer and flinging beautiful beads of sweat off my brow...  I've had this towel for YEARS... I think it was fate that put me in the MAD MANATEE group!!!! 

Hope you guys all had a fantastic day!!!

awesome!!!!

I just had an hour of Pilates - not relaxing at all - lots of leg work - hammies, calf muscles ITB and some shoulder stuff too.  Dammit should never have mentioned I do triathlons (still can't call myself a triathlete or any other kind of atherlete!!!!)

So the excruciating hour of Pilates wasn't enough - swim squad tonight!

FINS
6X100M (100M free, 100m Back, 100m Breast)

4x100M (100m Left Arm right by side, 100m Right Arm left by side) (I hate this drill)

NO FINS
8X200M
200M - pull and band
200M - free

1x200m - pull buoy - breathe every 6
100m - kick
100m - cooldown

Now that's a cool 3km - and I did a 200m warm up before...woohoo!  Highlight of the night though was a hello kiss and hug from Coach Johnny - swoon!

I can't call myself any type of athlete either.  I "do" events. 

Track run done!  I am not sure what's worse, a flat track run in full sun or my hilly route at home with partial shade.  Meh, they both are equally bad/good when it's 1400 degrees outside.

My daughter did 1.5 miles.  Go her!

Holy H*LL in a Handbag!!  In the middle of a deserted lake (with my newbie friend) and torrential downpour, complete with tons of lightning and scary booming thunder.  Not a soul around.  Thank God we had our wetsuits on (virtually impossible to drown).  Could not put head in water to swim because could not breathe when I tried.  The rain was pouring so hard it was hard to get any breath.   We finally made it out, kissed the ground, and the trail we walked out to get to secret lake was flooded.  We had to wade through mud to get back.

Managed to clear up as we got out so we still got 14 hilly miles in on the bike and then bailed on the run because the storms started just as we racked our bikes.  So happy to be home, eating a chicken schwarma sandwich and drinking ar really good Founder's KBS stout ale. 

We didn't die, so all is good.  Bring on the tri!!  (I may have panicked a little when we were holding each other up because we couldn't see each other with all the rain.  Bad news, my cell phone was with my towel in a dry bag and got soaked. So much for a waterproof bag in weather like that.  It is sitting in rice, hoping that it comes back to life. 

We're back from San Antonio. We had such a wonderful time -- Natural Caverns; Bracken Bat Flight http://www.brackenbatflight.com/(Watch the video -- it was one of the most amazing sights we've ever seen. I will never forget it.) -- and The Schlitterbahn Water Park. Took our bikes down the river walk until we ran into people, then walked them to Casa Rio and had our favorite bowl of chili.

Really did no training -- swimming one night; two bike rides on my hybrid. Lots of walking. But I haven't run in a week. Yikes!

Happy 4th July everyone stateside!!

Just back from my TdF challenge bike ride (Under threat of death, or worse, from Yanti). Did my long route and smashed my PR by eight mins. Happy times. enjoying my .

Hope you get your bike back soon Kate.

Good job on the taper Salty, you don't seem to have got 'the madness' yet, well, no more than usual.
