That's awful! How did you get food poisoning? Hope you are better soon!

Was a warm day for me as well on Thursday. Had lots planned, but woke up with food poisoning Thursday morning and still recouping today. Two perfect days missed :/ 

acgibby - 2011-02-20 7:01 PM Had my first race EVER today! It was a blast... I finished just above my goal that I had set: 20mph average for 20 miles... But, there were 20-30mph winds the entire time, so a 19.51 average isn't too bad I don't think. Been a while since I've posted-- Hope everyone is doing well!  I can't wait to get some clip on aero bars, from what I hear, it'll add about 1-2mph onto averages which will be pretty sweet.

trigal38 - 2011-02-22 7:46 AM Is it ok if I skip my rest day? I am following the BT beginner 1/2 IM plan. It has a scheduled rest day every week. Last week I had some issues and ended up swimming on my rest day. I felt fine for my workout the rest of the week. Today I have a nasty blister on my foot (from running on a wet trail last week ). I'm also teaching 2 very active classes for toddlers which is like adding 2 more workouts into my day! My training schedule says swim and a 30 min run. I would rather just give this blister a little more time to heal and move my run to my rest day. It's only 30 min - and I don't have anything else to do that day (no teaching I mean).
I don't think a 30 min run is a big deal on a day when I'm not doing anything else but I don't like messing with the schedule very much.

Leegoocrap - 2011-02-22 11:03 AM So I hit a Sub 1:20 / 100m today!!!

That's a first for me. Even got a 1:15! Look out middle school swim teams

Leegoocrap - 2011-02-22 10:02 AM

I'd say it should be fine to run on your day off as long as you aren't planning on doing sprints or something like that. What does your workout look like on Thursday?

trigal38 - 2011-02-22 3:32 PM

Thursday is a difficult workout day. I'm planning on a 45 min bike ride in the morning and then swim class in the evening. Not sure I'm ready to face my swim coach. I've missed most of this month and he's going to make me pay I'm sure. The bike will not be anything hard. My "long ride" will be Saturday but that is only at an hour and a half right now. I'm on week 4 of the 1/2 IM plan so most of the workouts have been at an easy pace. Except last week I didn't listen very well. Blame it on the warm weather.

1:15 for 100 is excellent! I'm impressed. Now I'm going to have to kick it into gear but I don't think I can keep up with that!

Leegoocrap - 2011-02-23 6:52 PM

You should be fine When the coach makes it terrible it's really a good thing (Or so I've been convinced haha) It's easy to get a bit "into it" and push the paces Sometimes that's a good thing too!

I think the people in the lanes beside me were laughing when i finished that 100, I must have looked like death had just emerged from the depths!

nvalaitis - 2011-02-24 7:08 AM Happy Thursday, Everyone. Its almost the weekend. I'm faced with a tough decision. THe Marine Corps Marathon registration is open right now, and will probably only last until tomorrow. I would love to do it again, but It's the weekend after the IM i wanted to do. MY one friend is trying to get me to do both but i really dont think its safe at all. So i'll probably do the IM then do the HIM a month later. (Both the IM & HIM are local) Am i crazy?


I got my usual 10K run planned for tonight. Along the beach that is :-)

Hope everyone is doing well and training hard.  It's been a tough two weeks to get my schedule down.  Boss out of town and everything seems to be going wrong.  Hopefully today is better.

Still recovering from my 10 miler on Sat.  Foot is bothering me some, but plan to run with my lunch group today.  Should help shake out the cobwebs.  Also plan to swim this evening.  Woo hoo back to the pool.

Keep on pluggin along.

I ran for the first time in nearly 9 weeks last night. It may have only been for 7 minutes before returning to a walk, but I did it and my knee feels fine today. Woo hoo!!

Leegoocrap - 2011-02-25 10:14 AM

Foot pain is the worst Keep an eye on it and don't push it too hard.
Gotta love getting back in the water!
