PeterAK's Group: THIS TREEHOUSE IS FULL!!! (Page 14)

Spanglers, we rescheduled last nights appointment because 43N was completely shut down thanks to a couple jacknifed semis.  We'll be coming up on Saturday but booked before and after so can't do lunch... Bummer!

Hilary, embrace the spin/run brick!  It's good for you.  Let us know how it goes once you have done it!

Dave, congrats on the speedy run!  That should be a confidence booster for you at Sunday's race.  Glad to hear the ammonia stuff is getting better, do you think it is because of nutrition adjustments?  How much snow did you end up getting yesterday?

I am so glad I have a snow blower.  Had over a foot of really heavy snow last night.  Even with the snow blower it was a heck of a workout.  Total snow removal time yesterday was over an hour and a half, I took a picture with the snow pile I made, and will try to post it tonight.

Running with Force tonight!  Plan 4-5 miles cruising in the fresh snow and then get together for a few drinks with a buncha BT'ers for AmyJoTris birthday.

I had a really tough day as far as training yesterday.  My stomach wasn't "right" yet, and I was just very lethargic.  Seems better today so far...hoping for a bike and swim tonight.  And some strength training--that's really lacking this week.

For some reason my adductors are sore today?  Haven't worked them since last week.

I'm going in for a stress test and event monitor in about 10 minutes...finally.  I hope to get some answers.

Evidently we have a winter storm advisory, not sure when it's supposed to hit.  Otherwise, it's been beautiful here...and above freezing.

Not sure what the deal was with lack of ammonia oder yesterday it was a faily vigourous effort...

We got only about 3-5" but very messy on top of the slush

I'm all confused now!   

Damn that's a lot of traveling! i'D BE DEAD.... Plan for this weekend:

a short training session Saturday, Plan rest of 2008  races (Peter - I can't find any info on PP OWS), book our vacation to dominican for end of March

Race, on SUnday  - Goal is to break 8 miles total distance -  Tactics - hold back on the swim as overall I need the energy for bike and run

What cha'all got on tap?

Dave, here's the brochure for this year's Pleasant Prairie OWS.  It is 6/28.

Swamped at work today, definately earning a living!  Legs are a bit sore from trying to keep up with Force on a 5.5 mile run in the snow last night.  Wanted to swim today but couldn't get out of the office.  Tomorrow I may ride, and Sunday I'll do something...

Have a great weekend everyone!

I sure hope so.  That would be the right thing to do.   Tough with sick kids.  Babysitters don't like that so much. 

We shall see....

Hey gang - not much for working out for me this weekend.  I flew to Texas yesterday for a job interview - carried over into Saturday and now I have 4 1/2 hours to burn before my flight back to Wisconsin.  Couldn't get on the earlier flight or I would have been home in decent time enough to fit something in.

I'll try a run if I can get up early enough on Sunday.  I want to spend a little time with the family before take off for Florida for Sunday afternoon for more interviews.

Hilary, treadmill is definitely not the same as real running.  One of the first things my coach said to me when I hired him, was no more treadmill, period.  Run in the rain, cold, sleet, wind, whatever, but the time spent is more productive on the road.  Now, I'm not opposed to using the treadmill, but the reasoning behind his hard line rule was along the lines of running being primarily hamstring based, but on the treadmill, you use more quads.  Certainly a possible reason you found this run harder than your previous runs on the treadmill.

So. I've got an idea.  What do you guys (and gals!) think about having every Monday be 100% class participation day?  For most of us, weekends are long workouts or races, so it's fun and important to analyze our performances.

Hey Dave, care to kick it off and tell us more about your race?!?!

Disclaimer...I am no physician and this comment should be taken as such, but from your description of the location, all I've read, it may be IT band related. There are tons of threads on this issue. I hope you're right that it "will just go away", but if it continues to bother, don't "run through it", get it diagnosed.

SO the race was pretty OK - had fun made small improvement in run over  last time - did fine in the swim ( 1/9 AG  - 4/130 Overall)

Proceeded to suck in both Bike (9/9 AG - 73/130 OA) ) and run (9/9 AG - 111/130 OA)

So how is the pain from the old injury? You don't mention it, so I am hopeful that it was a minor thing...

Nice job with your improved bike and run efforts and damn that's fast swimmy action!

Thanks for asking - it gave me no problems during the race and is better than it was Saturday, that said I am working on getting into the surgeon for a "don't be a baby - rub some dirt on it and get back in the game" lecture - that or ????

***EDIT***

Just got off the phone with the surgeon - ice today and Ibuprofen 2x a day for 1 week then  1x a day for another week if not ok go see him. As there is no swelling he suspects it is scar tissue adhesions breaking loose and not uncommon and it's only 4 months since the procedure - if still bugging me in 2 weeks go see him or of course if it gets worse. - so here I go:
