swbkrun with us!!! - Closed (Page 161)

Oh I may hate getting into this but just an observation I stumbled upon this winter. 

I use a Garmin but am not a slave to it.  There are plenty of times when I run by feel and w/o a watch or pace.  I even did a long stretch of training on RPE last year.  And then this winter I decided I wanted to get faster so I paid a little more attention to my HR when I was training and realized that when I felt my RPE was 5-6, I was actually in the low Z1/2 range.

Basically my brain thought I was working harder than my body actually was.  I picked up the pace and over a few weeks I was running faster on my training runs with less effort.

I guess my point is it can be good to use all of the tools available and listen to your body but they all serve as a checks and balance for each other.  You shouldn't just rely on one piece of the puzzle.

Friends off!!!

Seriously how can you hate WF? I will admit he has become a bit too sensationalized the last few years, but the SNL days and his first few movies were awesome.

cmon now - Night at the Roxbury, Old School, Wedding Crashers and Elf. I love Elf...when he is in the department store and that security guy says Santa is coming, and he gets so excited? Cmon Erica thats good stuff.

How about Ryan. Does Ryan like him?

Another one bites the dust.

2 out of 4 races I signed up to do this year have been cancelled.  The one that was moved due to snow is still on at it's new date but the one that was supposed to be on April 2nd, then got moved to April 30th, is now cancelled...

Haha!  Neither of us like him, actually.  We agree that his best movie role to-date is in The Producers, and he wasn't really great in that either.  I also liked Curious George, but that's because I just love children's movies anyway (ask Ryan about me watching Land Before Time during a trainer ride a couple weeks ago).  Elf was okay, but I can't help but feel like there's ALWAYS someone better to play the parts he's casted in.  To me, he never plays a role, he just plays WF. 

To each his own!

True. He always plays the same character. Like just the Adam Sandler's of the world. As soon as the try to do something different(ie. Drama's Punch drunk love) they flop. WF is smart in the sense that he knows what sells and hasn't strayed far from it , yet.

FYI, I just burned Curious George into Itunes. Girls are headed out of town this weekend, and bride wanted me to put a few movies on the Ipad.

Aw sniff, sniff - Curious George was the first movie we took Drew to see (4-5 years ago).  Now he's almost in 2nd grade and I am taking him to see Hop tomorrow.

And Old School is awesome!  Ear muffs was a line used regularly in our house. And let's see what else ... "always watching, always judging", "my boy, BLUE!", and so on.

"Hey Honey - Do you think KFC is still open?"

I do also love Elf.  Elves believe in eating from the 4 food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.

And how can you forget - Ricky Bobby.  Shake 'n Bake, baby!  If you're not first, you're last!

And sweet baby Jebus

"Buddy the Elf! What's your favorite color??"

 My fantasy football team name a few years ago was Thank You Baby Jesus.

Love Elf!!!!  Own it and watch it at the holidays every year.  

okay, what's this from?

"You're so wise, you're like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair"

Ah it is the 31st!  Post 'em if you've got 'em!

Big run month for me...looking forward to saddle sores starting in May...and chlorine damage to my lovely locks.

Totally untri related but a cool story.  Our local soccer league sent this out to share w/ the kids.

just did my last run for the month:

happy with over 40 hrs this month

Nice get, Rob!!!  I laugh at the stupidity of this movie...kind of like Austin Powers, I know it is wrong...but I can't help it.

Great job, Trevor!!!  I didn't quite make it there.  close but no cigar. 

Decent month and I stuck with the functional strength training to boot!

If you weren't such a fast runner, you would easily make 40.  It ain't about quantity, it's quality. And you have that nailed.

Jeez.  Missed the 40 hour mark by 9 minutes and 56 seconds.  I'm sure I mis-calculated somewhere. 

Biggest run month ever, yea!  Did today's run in racerback top - and not enough sunscreen - but it felt so nice to be out in the sun!

I don't want to post my totals.  It's too upsetting after how good February was for me!  Also, I've taken this entire week off of everything because my knee has still been sore after my swims and bikes.  It's not the sharp pain like it was when I was running, but just a stiffness.  I hope this is normal, but I'm resting it for like a week totally just in case. 

Just hoping I'll be okay to build up for the HIM.

Bike: 21h 18m 47s - 420.65 miles

Run: 10h 04m 10s - 62.14 miles

Swim: 13h 13m - 32600 yds.

Strength: 20m (with one more session tonight)

Yoga: 1h 15m

And each month so far in 2011 I have increased each of my SBR month-to-month. AND my total run miles for 2011 is less than Kim's for March!
