MDHillSlug - 2009-09-12 7:29 PM travel day. did packet pickup, checked out the 1/4 mile run from swim exit to TA, dined and carbo loaded, now soaking my feet on ice. So very tired.

great pics Nicole...look at them studdly legs! you look really strong!

we had some rain last nite too! very odd weather these past days here...but not complaining! stay dry and hoping that I bring some of that cool dry weather in October.

80 degrees with some moisture sounds much better then 100 and humid! hang in there!!!!

woooow! thats awesome! seeeeeee...you have become quite the li'l fishy! good job girl!

well, I am trying to put off the inevitable....heading out for a two hour run...

this is my last long run before the HM in a few weeks. I am actually getting excited...even over the nervousnous (<--is that a word??) 

have a great day all!!!

ran for two hours and five minutes...and happy to say that I will start tapering for my HM in a few weeks! had a great run....even though I think a turtle could have whizzed past me! haha

hope everyone is doing good! miss hearing from many of you! I hope you are healthy, happy and wise....remember we dont always have to talk about training...we just want to hear from you! this is the off season.....what are many of your winter plans???

I want winter to arrive SOON!!!  Actually, racing season is really starting here -- I'm talking about running races.  We don't do a lot of racing during the summer months because it's too hot and awful.  But I have a 5K, a reverse duathlon, then a 10K, and then 2-3 half marathons to get me through the winter.

YEA!!!!  Don't you love the feeling when you realize you've just gone past an hour and a half, and you are in the "zone"???

What's reverse duathlon? I wish I could run

It's backwards -- bike, run, bike.  They have this whole system worked out, where they transport your running shoes out to the transition point, hand them to you in a paper bag, you rack your bike and change your shoes, go run 5.6 miles, then change again and they transport your shoes back to the finish.  It's lots of fun!!!

And I wish you could run right now too, but you will again soon if you follow your healing plan, right?

now I see why you did so good on the swim...look at that distance! and that is a lot of biking girl! my husband rides every day and then some and he is only at 4000...so be proud!!!

hope the foot heels quickly and look forward to our meeting!

yeah....I remember looking at the clock the first ten to fifteen minutes over and over and thinking...omg...this is going to be TWO REALLY LONG HOURS! then after about half hour to the hour...I must have been in this so-called zone...cuz I truly felt like I could go forever...I do have to say that when I rounded the corner of my street....I was one happy gal! the zone must have left me again! haha

thanks Cheri for your help....should be fun....

did I just say fun??? haha

what race? and when in October? and that weather sounds heavenly! hope it stays put for your race!

that schedule looks great Dan! look at how far you have come! and gone! kiu!!!! soon you will be running long distance as a regular! hope you come to the states for some of those races!? west coast!

guys...you really need to stop talking sooo much!

no...really!

have a good weekend all!

today I ran....seems to be all I do lately....short 3 miler...tomorrow will be a long bike ride before we hit triple digits....then off to the beach with my husband and the dogs. Have a great weekend....hope you are all doing ok.

ghostly quiet....may be time to shut this one down....eh?!?
