SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 148)

Just a step on the way to IMFL brother...  Gotta do it!  I was thinking we could squeeze in a nice transition run afterwards...

Andy: way to go. sounds like a great race.

Trevor. don't convert for our family below the border....just let them think us Canadians are really really fast  . After all we have to be fast to get to the next awesome cold Canadian beer and back bacon with maple sugar.

I had a good ride today with very little back pain. Ab and core workouts seem to be working already. After the ride I had a shower (at my wife's request) then a pedicure and after that shopping. My first pedicure ever and it was nice.  Really big comfortable chairs with massage. If I had known that I would have gone much earlier. I almost fell asleep. The bath tub they gave was very small though I could only get my feet in they seemed to get excited when I disrobed.

I saw a fast Canadian today on NBC - they televised the Hy-Vee ITU race - it was exciting - 6 in the final sprint to the finish -and as always, some dove for the line and still got beat...  A Canadian won, I don't remember his name though...

Hey guys!  I'm behind again - pretty much stayed away from the computer over the weekend.  I've skimmed through a little bit though - welcome to Sam! 

I did a 10k on July 4th, in the rain no less.  I finished it in 1:13:25 - slow for a lot of you but actually a pretty good time for me, only about a minute off my 10k PR.  But considering that I hadn't run more than about 3 miles at a time for the last 4 weeks or so, my only goal was to finish.  So really happy with the results. 

Oh, and I bought a new bike on Friday.  Nothing fancy - it's a Giant Defy 3.  I'd been to the LBS a couple of times looking at that one and a Specialized Allez, test rode both of them and the Giant was more comfortable.  Since they had one in stock and I wasn't making any upgrades, they made some adjustments for me and I was able to bring it home with me.  Unfortunately it rained pretty much all weekend so I haven't had a chance to take it out yet, but hoping to get out tonight!

Wow - what a weekend.  Another great showing for the SWBKRUN group, some of you twice!!

I could use a day off to recover from this weekend.  My totals for the weekend:  BBQs: 3, Birthday parties: 2, Hours in the Sun: way too many, Beers: At times it felt like too many, others not enough, Workouts: 1

I'll be late to work this month thanks to le Tour.  I don't

What was I saying about beer?
