HA, I was just going to start hassling everyone for their RR's from this weekend.

Are you two in the same room when you write these?  I am just imagining you sitting 5 feet from one another on the couch with dueling laptops...

Sometimes we are, but right now we are both at work.

Jeff's been know to e-mail me, from upstairs, with a "Woman, make me a sandwich!"  Makes the kids howl.   Especially if I actaully make the d*#n sandwich!!

I finally did it today!  1.28 miles!  Woohoo!  At what point before July should I feel like I can do that distance continually though?

And also, is it a bad idea for me to do my half-mary on May 15?  Anticipating I can start running again on April 11?  Can I ramp up safely for that?

Erica--Didn't we already answer this question?  My answer is the same as last time.

Spanky--hold the line! you'll thank yourself in two weeks time!

Twin--no sympathy from me.  It's pouring here too and we're expecting snow here AND are in the midst of receiving a 10-16 inch dumping at our up north house....

look, don't get me wrong here, i think its great you ride your bike. and i'm the biggest slacker on the bike in this group by far.  but bragging about riding your bike 1.28 miles is kinda stretchin' things, no?                                  ha. congrats!

a quick look at your logs and knowing a little bit of the history here and how bad you want to race this thing... i'm leaning towards bad idea for a half marathon in may. ease back into it.  there are plenty of races to prepare properly for.  and  you may think july 17th is a long ways away... it ain't! 

SoccerGK - 2011-03-22 1:56 PM

^^^ That's what I'm afraid of!  That's why this swimming thing is driving me nuts! 

Okay.  After talking it over with Ryan, I think I might find someone to transfer my entry into the half-mary.  Then I can watch Ryan do his full marathon anyway.  This will give me ample time to ramp up my run in time for July 17th.  And by the time I CAN run in a few weeks, hopefully my swim will be darn close to being ready. 

So, this means I am determined to sign up for a half-mary later this season, either in August or September!  I'm going to start looking now...

my 2 cents...build slowly back up Chris and Erica. Don't get hurt rushing back.

 

Had my hardest swim workout ever last night. Did a warm up and then we did 10 X 100m. as fast we could hold.

On the last 25m of the last one, I actually dry-heaved in the pool. Crazy. I've really gotten alot out of swimming with the group and it is so invaluable for me to have someone watching my stroke. I was able to hold between 1:35-1:40/100m. That is huge from where I was last year. Not that its race pace or anything like that, but boy it felt good.

tahrens - 2011-03-22 2:52 PM I've been trying to post my RR for 2 stupid days!!  Darn computers.  Anyway here it is.   I've have such sore legs for the past 2 days. I actually looked forward to masters swim this morning so I could work some of this lactic acid out of my legs.  OUCH!!!   Now off to read 4 pages of posts and some RRs.

Great job Trevor!! Wow, I wish I could be a fish like you! You rock!

Egads.....Tuesdays are supposed to be kinda easy!  ROUGH mommy morning (3 kids for sale, cheap!) and I made myself feel better with my favorite comfort food of all time - pasta with a brown butter/garlic/cheese sauce.  Cheapest therapy ever.  Somehow slipped my mind that while this pasta tastes SOOO good going down, it's not great on the tummy.  A belated look at the clock reminds me I've got an early carpool today, so I head out for a quick easy run. 

THUD.  2 slow miles into it, my body mutinies. detour one, detour two....okay, pasta's gone, but the wheels are off the bus.  Slowest run in a long time, hurt like heck, and the last 2 miles all I can think is.....no phone, kids outside the school, DAMN.  Finally  make it home, call the youngest to tell him I'm on the way.....another mom got them.  Now I'm the worst mom in the world....and we've got a fundraiser dinner tonight at CPK.  GREAT.  More garlic, butter and cheese.

Maybe it's time for a nutrition and stress discussion on the MG?
