Mother Truckers Team Thread - Nov USMC Challenge (Page 16)

lyssa-gator - 2008-11-12 12:44 PM LOL exactly!!! a contract would be smart! LOL then i can always get it out and wave it in his face later. actually, at my last race, he really really helped. he was the one that got me out the door every day for training. and encouraged me on the days when i would have rathered to stay in and lay on the couch. AND it was my best race with my best time ever. so when he WANTS to be supportive he's REALLY good at it. LOL (i still think the contract is a good idea though)

They are full of surprises.  Mine gave me all sorts of grif when I bought the road bike last year and I used 2 weeks PTO pay off to do it (sold back 2 weeks vacation).  Go figure, he goes out and buys me a bike worth a couple months mortgage payments...I never would have bought it though and he would listen to me go on about Blues for the rest of our lives so he probably did it to keep me quiet.

missed pullups.... okay then.

Just got back from the gym.... did an hour of spinning and a 30 minute run.... 4th workout for this week logged  - SWEET!

Now I have to wash clothes and clear out the dishwasher and a couple of other things that I try to forget right now.... Life is fabulous!

LOL.  Yes I am aware that my mind doesn't operate quite the same way as a normal person's

Ouch, missing a couple weeks of pull ups then doing them tonight had to hurt. Think that's why I haven't lifted since last winter. I know after missing so much time it's going to hurt too much.

I'll remember how dumb of an idea that was when I go to swim tomorrow.  No lifting since winter?  Yikes, I'd be scared too 

Morning team

Finished the day with master swimmmers yesterday. And my run is done for today. I will do some bike tonight after work to complete the day.

How is everyone in this cold morning? Damn I had ice in my pool when I woke up to go run today, that was really tempting

NICE run!  That is awesome!

That is a lot of running and you sure have earned your peach yesterday! GREAT JOB!

Nice work on your workouts!

Here in South Carolina, it's currently 47 degrees Fahrenheit and it drizzles... I understand that it's fall and that is normal, but still.... hopefully things brighten up a little for the weekend. I have a hiking trip planned to Asheville.

I am meeting a friend for dinner tonight and if I don't come back too late (which I don't expect) I will put in 30 minutes on the elliptical or on the stationary.... and I have to do my push-ups too.

It was butterfly drill day....UGH....I stink at fly but love watching the stroke.

Test run later today, short one mile to see how much pain I should anticipate on Saturday.

Hey Mother Truckers...

Sorry I've been MIA.  Life and some stoopideyheadwerk drama are getting in the way of my ability to pad my post count meaningful and insightful things lately.  I'm still up to my usual tricks, though, and there's no doubt that I'll meet the challenge goal (and then some).

Morning All-

Well I went for my last run for 10-14 days this morning...and wouldn't you know it felt awful! Last Saturday I did 5 miles and a tiny 2.4 miler today nearly made me want to cry. So that is the memory I have to carry my through and somehow entice me to start running again in a couple weeks...well I guess I will just have to look at it as a way of finding vindication for this run today.

Good luck for the surgery tomorrow! Make sure to take care of yourself.

Yup!  Definitely, you gotta show that run who is boss .  It's just your body's way of saying "Go do what you need to do with the surgery and get back to me on this later". 

Just keep remembering your best running experiences. It's helps. I know your feeling.I went for a 5 mile run the morning of ACL reconstruction just because I could.
