Shermbelle's Group Full and training our a$$es off (Page 15)

you're so awesome brian, thanks for keeping track of all this!

Andy - don't fall off the wagon!  Get out there and have a workout with Cornbread . 

I just wanted to report that I just had a fanTAStic run!!!  I hadn't run this route in about 2 months, so it was very cool to see the gains I've made. 

For one segment, which on my old EZ runs could take 9-11 minutes, depending - today, I FLEW and ran that segment in 5:30!!!!!  It was too scary fast so I dialed it back because today is supposed to be Tempo, not crazy fast.  So later in the run, I did it again in 7:50 - again, far and away the fastest I've ever run it, but wasn't hard.  I'm so happy!  It's nice when you concrete evidence of progress.

Have a great weekend guys! 

Great job Lisa, I told you so  

Consistency pays off, and it will keep paying off. This is our teams year. Everyone PR's and hits there goals...Common now everyone HTFU

So I had my 10 mi race with my son today. Went ok. Yesterday I did a Functional Threshold Test on the bike (after warm up go 20 min all out to see max power) so when I hit the first hill today I knew it was going to be a conservative race.

Last year we were 1:12 and change, this year was 1:17:33. Legs feel ok afterward but the fact that I am a good 10 pounds heavier than last year  and my son is about 12 pounds heavier than last year made all those hills tough.

So overall it was  a good punch in the face type of day. Making me realize that rather than telling all of you it is time to HTFU, I need to take heed to my own advice.

So for me it is time to really step it up and concentrate on body composition and getting in some serious miles to build my endurance and base.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Awesome, Steelhead in August. I will be there too.

i can't believe you ran that fast pushing a stroller!!!!  nice job. 

Thanks Brian, it was just a sad reminder that I am nowhere near where I was hoping to be at this point. Still 7 months to Arizona so time to get on it.

brian, you are awesome!  i am so excited for tim, it's not even funny.  it's so cool when you see someone really prepare themselves and see how they do!  and brian, i hope to see you kick arse in the water at your tri .

I will be pulling myself away from baseball and canoe races to cheer Tim on.  Go Dude!

Hey gang, I am hopped up on Vicadin right now so if I start slurring my words you'll understand. I have a broncial infection and most likely a sinus infection that is causing a giant toothache on top of all the other symtoms. It has been 75-80 all week and I haven't rode outside because of this crap

Thanks Brian for the recaps, I know I have been lazy and not keeping up with it.

Tim, freakin rock it this weekend. You are ready and will kill it. Good luck and give us the good news as soon as possible.

Have a great weekend and hopefully I will be able to do train here in the next few days.

We're so proud of you Tim!!!  4:49 is nothing to sneeze at, now you have something to beat when you do another one, right?   Great job.  Looking forward to the race report. 

 Three cheers for Tim!  Way to go!

Great job Tim, way to go. Yeah I understand your "it never hurt this much in a training run" comment. I have thought that myself on more than one occassion.

I am doing a 25k next weekend but have decided due to taking over a week off and being on my deathbed that I will just be running it with a couple of friends at a nice steady pace

 No TdT for me this weekend.  But here is my race report for Brian from last week:

Ran when the gun went off.  Stopped when I got to the finish line.  A whole lot of people finished ahead of me.  Didn't see any canoes in the interim.

 Hope everyone has a great weekend!
