COgirl's Group - FULL (Page 14)

You all are amazing!  Races coming up, training to squeeze in....and you are all getting it done!  Nice work!  3 of you have races this weekend?  cool

Jill - good luck in the 5K!  We'll be awaiting your RR!

Mel - Hope you can get out on the bike of yours soon!  Did you name your bike?

Kendra - well, I REALLY hope your knee doesn't cause you any trouble this weekend!  Good luck and have a great trip while you are at it!

Z - Good luck in your race, hope the knee is ok!  LOL, you are one determined lady!

Heather - welcome back from your training trip....those sure are hard!  You think you'll have all this time and somehow it disappears. 

Back to the grant proposal for me.  

I don't have a name for my bike yet. I'll have to think about it.

Does everyone know what races they are going to be doing for the next year? I was talking to one of the guys in my tri group today and he has all his races planned out for the next year and he is working up to an IM.

I did a mini tri today; swam, biked and ran!

Good luck on your races this weekend Kendra, Jill & Zoya! We'll be cheering y'all on!

Mel

Hi everyone!  Sorry for my mini absences....I am still stuck under this grant proposal, but after next weekend, I'll be VERY happy and much more present!

Heather - LOL, I never did name my bike.  I couldn't think of one I was happy with.  I'll have to think about it again. 

Kaci - I LOVE the route tracker!  That thing is so cool.  man, you ran 2+ miles more than you thought?  LOL!

Mel - races.  Yeah, I have my races planned through the end of 2008!  OK, I'm a freak.  This year, I have the 5430 series (sprint, oly, 1/2 IM) in the summer.  Then the Philadelphia marathon in November.  Next year, maybe an early 1/2 IM, then IMCdA (Coeur d'Alene) in 6/08, then the Pike's Peak marathon in August (you run up to the top at 14,000 feet and then back down).  So that's my plan.  Beyond that, I don't know! 

Kendra - WOO HOO!  rock your 1/2 mary this weekend! 

Zoya - kick butt in your first TRI!  You are awesome!

And Jill - I want to see a PR out of you in this 5K!!!!  I'm not kidding! 

Have a great weekend all....and I'll be anxiously awaiting your race results!

Congratulations on your races!  That is awesome! 

Kendra as far as medals....well, mine are in a drawer.  But it sure would be cool to have a place for them. 

I have a 1/2 marathon on Sunday.  My grant proposal work has kept me from working out, so I fear I will be ill prepared.  But that's ok.  I'll get to see some of my BT friends and there's beer at the end of the race

Kendra - Congrats on your race! That is a great walking pace for 26 miles! Did you jog part of it?

Cathy - Good luck on your half marathon this weekend, I hope your grant stuff slows down soon.

I signed up for an organized bike ride this Saturday called "Ride for Heroes". I have never done an organized ride outside of a tri and I thought it would be fun, plus I really need to get some miles on my bike. Some other folks from BT convinced me to sign up for the 64 mile distance. I have NEVER biked more than 35! YIKES! Last weekend, my husband and I rode 31 and then ran 5 and I was OK. I am pretty sure the course is some sort of a loop, so I guess I can always cut out earlier if I get too tired. The group I am going with is fine with an avg pace of 14-15 mph which sounds doable.

Hope everyone else is getting some good training in, is anyone else racing this weekend?

Woo hoo Jill!  Sounds like a fun ride.  Break out the Chamois Butt'r because your butt probably isn't used to sitting on the bike that long!  LOL, that will be cool though.

I am BACK.  I am SO ready to workout regularly again.  All I have left of my grant proposal is reviewing and sending it in officially tomorrow.  I have one more week for small edits, but hopefully there won't be any! 

Swim tomorrow, short run Saturday, 1/2 mary on SUNDAY!  Then I am back on the plan. 

Kendra- Great pictures! Looks like you were having fun. WTG!

Jill, Wow, 64 miles, good luck. I hope the route is mainly flat.

Cathy, GL on your 1/2 mary!

Does anyone else have a problem keeping their HR down during training? Mine is averaging in the 180's and is maxing out at 200. I'm not sure what is going on.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
