Good to hear your bike is ok Kim...that is scaaary.

I have a wrist roadID that I just leave on all the time- don't even notice it.  I spoke to some EMTs about it before buying, and they said the wrist is the only definite place they would see it since they would be checking for a pulse- as long as your hand is still attached.

Emma, send me your address in a PM and I'll send you my Nike version of my fuel belt.  I'm never going to use it again.  It has 4 small bottles and a pouch.  Like this... http://www.ecrater.com/p/5226210/size-2-nike-hydration-running-ultra
If you like it great, if you don't then just pass it along to the next runner who might.

Probably a bad week to do full body weight lifting given that I haven't done that for a few weeks eh?  Don't worry, not a serious question.  It's weird not being out running.  All kinds of time on my hands right now.  Guess I will entertain myself by making Kelli's Blueberry Almond Bread.  Although that does involve a trip to the grocery store because I forgot the almond part of the bread.  So I guess that means Eggplant Parmesan for supper since I'll be at the store and can get me an eggplant.  I use to hate eggplant.  If's funny how tastes change.  Or maybe it is more in how the food is prepared more then anything.

Hope all the fathers are having a good fathers day.

Glad to hear your bike is ok Kim!

Thanks everyone for your input on the Road ID.  I think I'm gonna go with the wrist strap since as someone I can't remember who now said they'll see it when checking for a pulse.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads!!

Happy Fathers Day Fellas!! We are Awesome.

Race was done early and a lot of fun, Well run and I could not have asked for better weather or scenery. I will post some pictures with my R.R. Brunch was out of this world, my boys spent the ENTIRE time going back and forth between our table and the chocolate fountain (6' tall!!!) It was also the Banff Bike fest weekend so we caught the start of one of the races. Great weekend with the family.

Ugh, I just heard from someone who did an OWS today at the race site and the water was 54 degrees.  That's darn chilly.  Guess I better swim fast just to make sure I stay warm.  Looking at the forecast it doesn't look like it will have much chance to warm up.

Greetings from rainy, stormy Omaha, Nebraska!

I never thought I would admit this, but I am ready to be back home and back on a training and healthy eating routine. I guess being such a routine person the last 2 years, this weekend has thrown me for a loop.

We were able to see the first two games on Saturday after dealing with insane drama regarding the tickets. Come to find out, general admission tickets don't even guarantee you will get in the stadium...even though you have already bought them! So you have to go through a ridiculous process to upgrade...I'll spare you the details, but ultimately we were up for 24 hours on Friday and stood in line until 1:30 in the morning to do the upgrade process.

Unfortunately after all that, the Gators decided they didn't want to beat UCLA, and it was a tough game to watch. We're hoping to catch the elimination game Monday...if the weather cooperates. Oh, and by the way, Kim & Emma...when/if ASU-Clemson play on Monday....I will be rooting for the Sun Devils. Wink Nothing against Clemson...I've just always liked ASU (I was actually accepted there but decided to go elsewhere for college).

It's also going to be our 7 year anniversary, so I hope everything works out.

By the way, we are racing Sunday...I have a feeling with the less than healthy eating and no workout since Thursday, it's going to be a tough race!

Hope everyone had a good weekend, and those who raced had a good time. As for the HIM'ers, enjoy your taper and prep week!

Hope the weather clears up and you get that game in Tif.  Looking forward to seeing you guys Sunday.

We had a little get together yesterday at our house.  The best part about a party at your house is you don't have to worry about getting home and, well, I took full advantage.  I am supposed to run 50 minutes today but I am not sure that is going to happen.  Working on hydration right now.  Maybe I can make it to the gym today and torture myself on the treadmill.

How did our racers do this weekend???

My "race" went really good all things considered, We drove out on Saturday afternoon and got to our hotel room. 7 of us split a suite so the kiddies could play together. This proved to be a mistake as they were still settling for bed at 1:00 in the morning. The location was perfect, the run was along a trail beside the town creek and back in along the golf course, snow capped mountains on all sides and clear blue skies. Highlight for me was the flashback to filling out my registration way back in March, Appaerntly I was a tiny, little bit tipsy when I filled out the "athlete profile questions". As we crossed the line the announcer was saying... here comes - - this is there --- triathalon lets give am a cheer... As I was pounding down the chute to the line, We go to hear this little treasure.

That's priceless Dan. 

Ok, I have been struggling with what to do regarding nutrition on the bike and this morning as I was showering I think I finally made my decision.  I already know I am using Heed as that is what is on the course and it is working for me.  I'll have one bottle double strength for 200 cals and one regular for 100 cals.  I'll have to swap out a bottle on the course but will probably end up with water.  The plan is to finish the 200 first.

Then, for solids, I have decided on cookies.  I have proven many a time I can run on these cookies, and although high in fat they are actually somewhat healthy.  http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/peanut-butter-oatmeal-chocolate-62843.aspx

Bring it on

I don't use a fuel belt, and don't really have an interest.  During most of my runs there are water fountains every couple miles, so I rely on that.  Otherwise, I carry a water bottle.  And I always carry a few dollars, so if need be I can pop into a store and get something. 

I have a wrist road ID.  I always wear it on long rides, but should probably wear it more than I do.  I think it's a great idea to have one.

The record high was 114 - it could be worst.

Hopefully the fans have supersoakers.

I was trying to avoid seeing the temps in Lubbock but it is what it is.  Maybe there will be some nice cloud coverage that day.  A girl can dream...can't she?  Well - actually, I'll be praying!
