Expert 1117 Shalimar, FL | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Girl Passing on Left - 2009-09-19 2:35 PM 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?!? We can call it quits if you'd like, but it's nice to reach out and touch sometimes. It's been crazy busy for me -- work woes, back and forth to Atlanta, and trying to fit training in amongst that plus all of the rain we've had. The rain would be ok if it cooled things down, but it's not happening. No point in complaining, though -- this too shall pass! I hope everyone is having a good weekend! |

Regular 324 Calgary,AB | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Awesome photos, Nicole! Congratulations on your swim! That is outstanding! I can only hope that I can swim like that in the future. My BIL did the same race- his first tri. He loved it! I believe he is now hooked.  Do take the time to mend your injuries so that you are ready for next season and do celebrate ALL of your successes (there were many) this year.Cheri, I cannot believe your racing schedule...it goes on and on and on and on...wow, forget Torture Dan- he is probably just trying to keep up to you! Julie, good for you with all this running. I have heard awesome things about the RnR series of races. Never done one, but it is on the list. Enjoy your taper! Lisa, hope the weather cools down for you soon! We are enjoying some nice fall weather as the almanac is predicting another brutal winter. Dan, did you decide on a GPS? I also have a Garmin 305 that I do enjoy training with. The unfortunate bits are that I don't take it into the water with me and while I like being able to recharge the battery myself, it was a pain to have to do it after every 6 or so hours of use. In fact, I could only use it for the bike portion of my race as it didn't have enough juice for my run. Have you decided on any races for next year? After a couple of weeks off, I am back to coaching cross-country at school and am running with the kids. I am so happy that our mandate is to take any one who wants to run- we don't do tryouts, and are just out to promote a healthy lifestyle. One of my favourite things is that after the season ends in October, we continue to train some of our kids to take part in the California International Marathon Relay in Sacramento in December. They run anywhere from 9-13km and have a blast doing it. I also joined my tri-club again and am so happy that DH has also joined in on the fun. So nice to be able to share this with him. First week went well and he is pretty excited about the extra training and coaching. Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! |

I love that you dont do try-outs...such a let down for kids when they get cut....and its usually the ones that truly need a boost in thier egos that get cut. We need to do that here in the states!! have a great weekend....enjoy training with the husband...mine loves to bike with me...but Im on my own when it comes to swimming and running. |

Master 1841 Sendai, Japan | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Great pic Nicole!! Hi Yvonne. I haven't bought the Garmin 305 yet. I'm still debating as to whether or not I really need the GPS part. I'll be visiting the US in a few weeks and will decide soon which model to have shipped to my sister's house before I get there. Nice to see you are able to enjoy running with the kids - they must love having a coach who participates. Julie: way to go with those runs. Apologies for being so quiet - I was off visiting a newly arrived granddaughter and away from the net for those 5 days. My vote is to keep this thread going, but I think it is your call. You've already gone well beyond the call of duty and things have indeed gotten rather quiet in here. Cheri: hang in there - really does sound like you need to get on your bike or into the pool for a change of pace... I did a run of a little over 5 miles today. That is now my "short" run. I'm running 3 times a week, keeping the pace slow and easy for all 3 runs (6 minutes/km), and cranking the time running up 10% per week. Hope you're all having a great week!! For some reason, my line feeds/carriage returns are not registering and all of the text is running together....sorry about that. Edited by dcon 2009-09-23 6:11 AM |

Pro 4343 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) I dutifully go to my PT sessions and I take them very seriously, but I can't really say that it's helping. Maybe I'm having less pain in daily life but I still hurt by the end of a regular day and I might really hurt if I need to do any substantial walking or standing (and I always hurt after PT!). We'll do a re-evaluation on Monday for my Tuesday appt with the foot doc. It's hard for me to read about everyone's Fall running schedules, half and full marathons, etc when I'm stuck not being able to run at all and I'm wondering if/when/how much I'll be able to run in the future. It's hard to stay positive! |

It's hard to stay positive! Nicole, I know how frustrating it is to be off running but try to stay positive. Take advantage of the opportunity to do some cross-training and you will surprise yourself at how much running endurance you maintain just by cycling and swimming. I do hope that the foot doc can provide you with more information. I am sure that you are probably pretty meticulous in your choice for PT and MDs...but it is always helpful if they are familiar with runners/triathletes- I have found my Sports MD and PT more willing to negotiate with me on how hard I could push, while my MD is always on the more conservative side of the recovery. I hope your appointments go well. I will be thinking about you! |

When I first mentioned the tri to her she pretty much said not happening. It's the same doc and PT group that worked with me for my knees two years ago. |

Regular 324 Calgary,AB | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) One more week, Julie, 'til you're rockin' and rollin' at your HM! Hope you're feeling fantastic and enjoy your taper! I hope the weather will cooperate- based on timing of the year, I would think temps should be pretty ideal. I had a peek at the website to look at their full roster of events...as much as I loooove Chi-town, I could not imagine running on August 1ST! HOT HOT HOT!!! |

Pro 4343 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Saw the foot doc this morning: now that we're starting to see some improvement he wants us to keep on doing what we are doing; for the PT he wants to continue with the strengthening and ROM stuff but he wants an emphasis put on ultrasound therapy, electrostim, and massage. If all goes well I can try to run in a few weeks! He sees no reason why I can't eventually be doing 10k. I hope he's right. |
