SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 15)

Anyone watching the video of Boston?  See the guy crash on his bike (one of the pacer bikes!).... SO FUNNY!

I do most of my runs around the neighbourhood. I have some routes that I do depending on the length. For the longer runs I like to have a longer loop. It's too easy to stop if you are close to home. If I do one long loop then I know that at half way I have to run all the way back to no excuses.

Kara -3rd all good....She's still smokin'......She looks like she has a wacky stride though doesn't she?

KAra came in third. Lost out in the last mile.

Wow, you guys are fast, I was getting ready to post a reply to Reuben's question, my toaster went off, and when I got back, there were already 6 posts!!!  

Looks like Suzy is doing great!  I am bummed, can't get Universal sports to run on my mac right now...but I am tracking her and another friend LJR here on BT on the BAA website and both of them are doing GREAT!  Are the finishers almost done?  Probably by the time I submit this post.

I usually do loops of my local lake, there are options to run 4, 4.6, or 4.85 miles and I can get another 2 miles in by running across to the trails along the coast if I need a 7 miler.... I like having my car as a checkpoint to get water for myself and the dog or putting her into the car if I need to do more than 10 miles.  She would like to keep going but I feel like more than 10 miles might be too hard on her.  Shady parking spot, lots of water and open sunroof and side windows, of course!  I love my ipod, too and have favorite tracks for these long runs that are less upbeat to keep it slower.  I do think that 15 miles is the most I ever want to run though, after this weekend.  

I am quite psyched though, because I was able to do my long ride of 56 miles (longest ever ride) the day after my 15 mile run and felt quite strong all the way til the end.  We took it pretty easy but there were some major climbs.   My feet felt really good, no numbness like I get on the trainer.  My bum was okay too, unlike the trainer.  

Have a good Monday all!

I'll have to depend on you guys to post and track Suzy. I have to head out for my bike ride now as I can't work it in later.

I'm tracking Suzy and a woman from my office - they're within 2 mins of each other after 15k.  I can't get the Universal Sports stream to run on my device.  Probably a good thing.

Good job on all the races this weekend, especially Tracy for busting out a nice last minute Oly w/ an injury - inspiring.  Now get that foot checked and rested!!!

I had a nice mt. bike ride this weekend.  Its nice to have a sport that you only do occassionally to really highlight improved fitness.  The mountain we ride on has a summit known as the towers, which has a nice steep final pitch going up the fire road.  I've never been able to ride the whole thing until yesterday.  And the real highlight, I never had to gear down to my small chainring and wasn't even out of breath at the top.  We rode for two hours of pure awesomeness.

last post for awhile

Welll I posted splits, but was beat to it.... On a seperate note... I won my Aerobars this weekend!  GAME ON!!!

I will BBQ  - tonight   I'm not sure I could run one mile at my AG's pace required to BQ, let alone 26.2.
