X-Men (Page 18)

WELL MORNING X-MEN.

hope you've all recovered from you holiday/sugar hangovers.  i tell ya.  im SO not used to eating the way we have over the last couple days - 'heavy' food, lots of sweets - all so delicious.  a lovely weekend.  good times with family.

its a taper/brick week for me.  and boy am i glad.  not only for scheduling reasons but just so's i can taper it back.  im feeling the affects of the past few weeks of trng.  so the taper is very well placed.

just a shortie swim today.  im really looking forward to the pool.  i got a link from my new tri mentors that you might want to chk out.  you put in your personal info, and it generates daily swim plans for you to do....pretty cool stuff.  and its free

www.swimplan.com

i was using the Beginner 3 Month plan on the site, and worked my way through all three months, so the swimplan.com site came in the nick of time as i was beginning to wonder what i would do next.

WHATS EVERYONE ELSE UP TO THIS FINE MONDAY???

HAPPY TRNG TODAY!

i just looked at my trng log weather forecast.....

some bikerideable days are in my NEAR FUTURE  weee heeeee!

not so much the beginning of the week (rain.  BOO!)  but by the end of the week, simply SPLENDID.

gonna tick off some of that SUPER POWER HOURAGE....

I got yesterday's make up run done and today's run done.  Sweet!  Biking this afternoon/evening.  Maybe if Bry gets home early enough, I can ride outside????  Probably not but I can hope, right? 

Enjoy your taper week... 

Hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend...

I am switching things around and taking an unscheduled recovery week...  planning an easy swim and bike today... and try to get a little strength training as well...

Happy Monday to All... 

Hey, everybody!

I'm registered on Swim Plan and have done the time test but haven't used the plans yet, just because I've been doing a different swim plan (lower case on purpose) and it doesn't fit.  I'll probably be using it for a few weeks after my tri this Saturday before my HIM plan starts on May 10.  But I've heard nothing but good things about it.  I'll be sure to let you know...

BTW, does anyone know which page on our forum our Google spreadsheet is or if there's an easier way to access it?  I need to update my workouts.  Thanks!

so yesterday was my first real bike ride since surgery. it went very well. i chose a route that i have done may time before. a couple of good sharp inclines. the route is an out and back with the return almost all downhill. i was happy with how i did, and the strength in my leg. i hope all X-Men had a great weekend.

Here's the link:

Spreadsheet

LORA.  the link to our GOOGLE SPREADSHEET is on page 12......

^^^^^ speedy fingers that ERICA has.

Thanks, Erica and Stacie!!!

Got my trainer ride done.  I didn't want to wait for Bryan to get home.  My luck he wouldn't get home until late and I'd have a trainer ride to do at 9:00.  No thanks!  So, another hour on the drainer for me.

Hey X Men!
Well I did anither 60 on my bike today! I am now at 295 miles of my 500 mile goal! I think I will give my butt a rest and take a day or two off from biking
Glad to see you all had a nice Easter.
We need to "inspire" Shermebelle as there is nothing on our spreadsheet from him
Hope you can get out today Erica as it has warmed considerably from yesterday!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.....

MORNING X-MEN. 

my first of four bricks on tap for later on today at the Y, swim to bike.

the end of the week is gonna be RIDICULOUSLY NICE.  im gonna do my 2nd brick (bike to run) outside on Thurs.  YEAH!  race day is coming up QUICK. 

and im super silly excited!

i just an invite to TEAM get-togthers - one from the MASTERS SWIM TEAM that meets at our Y.  i got invite to trn w them a few months back, but the timing wasnt 'good' for me to start practicing with them.  im hoping to make a few practices before the MS150, but after that event, im hoping to swim w them 2-3 days a week.  ive heard FABULOUS things about how fun and friendly they are.

and my MS150 TEAM will be meeting for the first time.  an informational get-together, most the team members are complete strangers to me.  so im looking forward to meeting some folks and getting the inside scoop on the ride.

never having been an athlete before, or participated on team, its SUCH a good feeling to be a part of something, ya know?  to be a part of a team has a really awesome vibe to it.  new to me, but awesome!

onward!

Have fun doing your brick today Stacie.

The weather here is superb!!! Its about time. Went out and ran 10 miles. Didnt think I could do it after yesterdays blustery ride but It felt pretty good.

I may not be able to help myself......I might get on my bike for a little spin to make it an even 300. I will muster up some super powers and get it done!!!!!

Erica...to nice for the drainer...hope those kids get back to school soon so you can get outside and ride!

Ben...time to move it ut of the basement!!!!LOL!!!!!

Morning all!  I hit the 50% mark this morning!  Yipee!

Erica- great job on getting the ride in!

Stacie- Yay! I brick down

Mav- Wow you are really putting in the nice JOB!!!

Will -  Glad the bike ride went well...Welcome back!
