Extreme Veteran  362  |  Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSEDHappy Valentine's Day to the MG! I took my new bike out today for the bike segment of my training plan....first time for real. It felt great! I am still getting comfortable with it, and also to the speed. I got it up to 20mph or so and felt...whoa, better ease back. I guess the speed comes with more confidence in handling, braking, etc. I am really glad I got the clipless pedals now as I was getting a feel for the push and pull with the pedals today and could tell how much more power I can get without that must more effort.....very cool! It was only a 30 minute ride in the neighborhood and a on trail along the bayou. Great day to be outside today with sun and mild temperatures. Now to get ready for the work week....no holiday for me tomorrow.... |

Champion 9060   Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Whew, we had almost 10 boys age 5-6 here today for my son's 6th birthday party. With all the snow, most had been cooped up inside for a week or so. We survived. Time to drink. |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Sounds like everyone had a productive weekend. In my quest to get back to calling myself a runner, I did 47 minutes of running and 13 minutes of walking, covered about 5.7 miles. It was longer than I was supposed to go, but it was so very hard to stop at 1 hour. Been doing my 20 minute mandatory swims each day, in the pool ,but hope to get back to testing the ocean tomorrow or when we hit calmer waters in Kauai. Tomorrow is our last full day in Maui and so far I am supposed to be drinking a Chi-Chi, Lava Flow and Mai Tai before I leave....I think I am a little behind.  . Going to our favorite Bohemian Organic Text/Mexish type restaurant for an early dinner so hope to cross one of these off the list.Enjoy the Olys tonight! |

We're likely heading to Maui in August... When we are there we each fish tacos at least one meal/day, it seems. I can't get enough of 'em! Test out the ocean! You'll need that skill when you qualify for Kona, baby!! |

Expert 1007 Missouri | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Hey guys! Thought I'd check in quick while I have some time. Sounds like everyone's having a good weekend. Mine's gone pretty well too. I had a great 8.2 mile run yesterday at the park (so glad I went there instead of settling for the TM). I went out to do 8 laps - the loop at the park is about 1.1 miles - ended up doing 7.5. I didn't check my watch until I finished and I couldn't believe the time when I saw it  . I can usually maintain an 11:16 pace for maybe 4 miles but not for 8! Quite surprised by that.I had a good swim this morning too. Tried a new drill - right arm/left arm only using a pull buoy. It was harder than I expected. I kept wanting to bring my opposite arm back like a normal stroke. I think the drills are helping though so I'm going to keep doing them (even though I feel kind of silly at times  ). Hope everyone has a wonderful week! Janet |

Expert 1027 | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Well after 14 hours in the car yesterday, I am home and trying to catch up with life. I took off the day today, and even got in a 3 hour "nap" I am still recovering my energy from vacation. I am busy putting a blog together with lots of pics from vacation. It was wild and boy did I get some extreme skiing in. It was a good trip. Very excited to give my wife a right hand ring since we got engaged in CO 3 years ago. I searched the Twin Cities high and low trying to find it, and finally did about 2 days before leaving |

It is the year of the tiger and GGGGGRRRRRR, let's all make this year a roaring good year! Doug, Amazing and awesome job doing your 18.45 on the Treadmill...talk about mental toughness, you are going to rock that marathon Steve, you will be back to good form in NO time at all...I hear PT is painful, but you've got the goals out there to keep you focused. Janet! way to go on 8 miles at your 4 mile pace!!! So proud of you Suzy, you are making me so jealous....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HAWAII, every island, we are going in May and I simply cannot wait! jvanis- wonderful gift of love for your wife....that is just...touching! Anyone else think the women's moguls last night were just incredible!? I stayed up late (first time in a looooong time) to watch and was just so glad I did. the bronze medal winner was just such a great Sportswoman, just great for all of us to remember...when someone tops your effort, you have just GOT to give them props! Why am I so excited? Well, I think I am riding the adrenaline of getting my 2600 yd swim in and 30 minutes later doing my 11.5 mile long run on tired legs at pretty nice pace! Okay, off to finish making dinner. |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Milagros is a little off the beaten path, but worth the trip if you want some really terrific food and margaratis. The town has gotten a little busier, but still very eclectic and fun. We are nearly an hour away for Pauai and still go there everytime we are in Maui. Good stop if you are going to the road to Hana or even Haleakala State Park. kkcbelle - 2010-02-14 6:11 PM SSMinnow - 2010-02-14 4:19 PM Sounds like everyone had a productive weekend.

Master 2436 Apex, north carolina | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED ***********VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION********** Which of the Canadian (or geographically close enough) MG friends will get me a pair of the red Olympic Canadian mittens? I'm serious!

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Good Monday Morning..... Trevor: Super job on the race! You are going to be a running force in April. Doug: That TM run served more than finishing your longest run ever, mental fortitude baby! Nice stuff. Dino: I had a mini schnauzer that I used to take on 5-7m walks (before I became a runner). Newt was young, but after a while really started pooping out on those efforts. My vet said he wasn't made for such long distances, esp in heat (which was onbviously not the case for you). Not sure if that is your issue, but maybe you can continue by building distances and see where your pooch starts tiring. Glen: congrats on the first ride on your new wheels. Time to hit some hills??!! Jeff: Welcome back to reality! Sounds like you had a great time. What exactly is a right hand ring? Tracy: Mittens? do you actually where them in NC? We still have a high surf advisory in Maui, but the man and I are going in search of a calmer beach. I had to buy some new goggles yesterday and he bought some too! Said I could teach him how to swim....so naive, but very happy he wants to give it a try. Today is our last day in Maui. Tomorrow we are off to Kauai to spend time with Paul's parents......one week left in paradise! Edited by SSMinnow 2010-02-15 10:01 AM |
