I still think yuo would be ok Dee! In terms of toll on the body you should be fine as long as you take it easy this week...

Im not a runner either remember?

Me too - I think I should have that goal too!

x2 what the puppy said!

Looking at individual logs is the way to go in terms of finding out what training others are doing.

Chat can be really good - especially if you are around once a month with the coaches do the Q&A sessions as quite often its not that busy so you do get to ask questions - plus there are some pretty knowledgable BTers around too!

If you want training plans then I would suggest the Silver memebership as the plans available are much more detailed with workout specifics. I have followed one in the past but they are also great for looking at and getting an idea of the level of training involved and what components go into individual workouts.

Its much much cheaper than getting a coach too!

Just checkin in!   I like cupcakes!

I wanna ask a question:  What was the funniest, strangest, wierdest, craziest thing you have ever witnessed during a race or training session?  Not something you have just happened across while living day to day but rather stuff you have seen while you were physically exerting yourself.  And if it is that strange please tell us how you know you wasn't hallucinating.....or leave it a mystery

Well you are giving me ideas on what to take to the next Tri girls event!!!

peach5757 - 2009-04-30 11:24 PM Hi !  I Hope everyone is having a good week!  It's almost Friday and that gets a BIG YAY from me  My S/O's (aka significant other aka boyfriend) parents are coming to town tonight and staying with us through Monday so we'll be busy entertaining them.  I hope I can still get in all of my planned workouts!

As for May goals I'd really like to improve my eating habits.  I wake up every morning and say I'm going to eat better today, I eat well all day and then dinner with the S/O rolls around and I basically end up eating whatever I want...and drinking wine!  So for May I will try to eat better and weight less (I like this goal too) by the end of the month.  I have 2 full months until my first tri and I'm sure my body would greatly appreciate it if I was at least 10 pounds lighter by then (that's possible, right??).  I'd also like to make it a goal not to miss workouts.

I have to mention here that I keep having these re-occurring dreams where I'm competing in a triathlon and it's super easy, I do really well, I love it and I'm barely worn out at the end of it...so WEIRD, especially since I've never done one!!  Anyway, I just thought I would share and see if this is a common occurrence

Hope everyone is doing well!  I may not post super frequently, but I'm always checking in!  I love hearing from everyone.

Thats an AWESOME dream you are having... sounds like you are feeling really good about the whole experience which is a great headspace to be in

I know I asked about May goals so here are some of mine:

Cycle: 10 hours minimum for the month - its time to stop slacking off with my cycling (especially if my new bike is only a month or so away) so I should actually be riding a lot more than that - 10 hours is nothing! But... based on the last coupld of months... well... I havent even done that!

Run: 6 hours - the same amount as last month which means a 30 minute run 3 times per week. This includes the 4k run I have in a weeks time

Swim: Swim more... how much more? I still cant work it out... but its swim challenge month so I need to figure out a goal!

Nutrition: Im borrowing Madkats goal of weighing less at the end of the month than at the beginning!

(Especially since you're co-organizing the challenge.....)

I like that one too! OK, here are mine: 1 - Work on my running technique. (Avoid injury by improving technique first. Then work on mileage. Last of all, think about pace.) 2 - Get to the pool. (Between the 6 swim teams and 4 water aerobics classes, I can never get a lane, so I tend to just not go.) 3 - Watch eating habits. (Don't overeat at night. Avoid "mindless eating." (This is when I reach into the bag, and wonder how it got to be empty.))

Nay Yanti is really doing everything... Im just challenge greeter and apparently mod... I had to do some deleting and ask them to keep it PG13 yesterday...

I felt like little miss no fun

Not sure Ive ever seen anything that interesting... not that I mind that i havent!

Uh oh. Was it the girl's team or the boy's team? I'm willing to bet it was the girl's team, and they were posting pics of half-naked men hot guys in Speedos.

Girls team.... it wasnt a half naked boy pic either....

D001 - 2009-05-01 10:18 AM Did my walkogging tonight. Lots of stuff to think about. The short strides make me even slower than usual. (Which is already like molasses on a GOOD day.) But hey, if it keeps me from getting injured, it's worth it! And best of all --> my knee does NOT hurt tonight! Yay!!!! (Well, not like it usually does. Just a little twingy. But I can live with that.)

WOO HOO!!!

Thats fabulous news Dee!! How are the new shoes?

Um. I haven't been wearing them.... When I did, the knee and ankles felt better -- but the OTHER knee and heel started bothering me. So I'm using the original ones, and working on technique.

Oh...dear....

Thats not exactly what you wanted to happen...
