Beer Drinker Appreciation Society 2 - Closed (Page 18)

Lots of experience here with tendenosis in my shoulders and elbows. I'm on daily anti-inflammatories do a LOT of stretching. If your not experiencing pain or swelling, heat would be good prior to activity to help limber you up. If you have pain/soreness or swelling in the tendon after activity, ice afterwards (20 minutes).. Ice is good as a preventative also at the end of your workout even if you don't swell. As for tightness after ice, that is normal. The tendon will be more plyable when warmed, either by artificial heat or by increased blood flow from activity.

Hope this helps. I know it's frustrating.

I woke up this morning and felt like I had been hit by a bus. Part of the soreness was from my fall off the bike yesterday and the other part was from trying to keep up with my friend who is way more experienced than I am (he has figured out this his lifetime milage is close to 120,000 miles - 3000 a year for the last 40 years). When I tried to go for a walk/run, my back told me that running wasn't really an option - and my legs agreed. So, I went for a short walk. I'll get up tomorrow and do some yoga to see if I can stretch my back out.

I hope everyone is enjoying the group. I think you guys are doing great. We have more posts than the vast majority of groups and let's keep that up by supporting each other and cheering each other on.

If there is anything you think would help the group or make the BDAS better - please let me/us know.

Have a great week!

WEEKLY GOALS - In the next post, I'm going to try to start a weekly goals page. We have used these pages before back when we could add tables to create weekly goals for ourselves. Our fellow BDASers could then cheer on a member or give them a Coors Light penalty.

This is a test - but I think this would work if the next person who posts their goals clicks the Quote button and then writes in their goals below where everyone else has written theres. Be sure to unclick the include signature box in order to keep the posts from getting too long.

Lets try it and see if it works. And as always - if there is a better way - please just suggest it to the group.

Coach Carter...thanks for the reminder...i am going to show YOU how great I am

June 1 - ran the Run or Dye with my daughter then did a 5 mile difficult hike to the waterfall in Reno. Almost quit, we were tired and sore, and one of us was hung over but we made it the falls and back and we were so glad we didn't quit. Received a few comments since we were still covered in paint but we did take off our tutus before hiking!

Well summer is going to suck at the pool. Showed up today and they had 4 people to a lane and 6 waiting to get in. The second pool I went to was the exact same. I think I'll try to go in the afternoon and see what that's like. I ordered one of those ISHOF tether floats for OWS. I live on the water and guess I can swim in there considering I haven't seen an alligator in about 4 years if not it would be a good reason to load the family and head to the beach a few times a week.

Traveling for work this week so my goals are tailored to that.
1. Watch what I eat (100% of my meals will be at restaurants)
2. Get in at least 1 workout per day: run, exercise bike at hotel, swim in hotel pool.
3. Practice transitions

Had an amusing experience at the pool yesterday.
My training plan called for a swim and a brick, so I decided to do them basically back to back.

When I get to the pool i stick my head into the "instructional pool" room and notice it is somewhat full, at least 2 people per lane. So I stick my head into the "competition pool" room and notice quite a few open lanes. I think, sweet I can swim by myself!
As I'm hopping in the water I notice that the university swim coach is taking pictures with people in front of the pool. I think this is kinda odd but the lifeguard said the pool is available so I plunge in. My work out call for 1x100, 45 second rest, 1x400.

I proceed to do my first 100.
I stop at the wall to rest and look up towards the pace clock and the stands above it, keep in mind this is the competition pool at a university with a very successful swim program so there is a balcony with lots of seats for spectators, there are at least 200 people up there looking down into the pool! I have an audience!
I now realize why the pool was so empty.
I teat the spectators to another 400 meters of slowness and poor form and make a beeline for the locker room.

Apparently there was a swim camp going on and everyone was sitting in the stands while they waited to get their picture made with the coach.

Our Pediatrician told us to wait til 3 months for jogging, but after that on the weekends when the baby would wake up in the morning I would feed her then my husband would take her running and I would sleep. It was marvelous. My husband ran so much with her that he qualified for Boston in his first marathon. When he wanted to do longer runs he would wait until her nap time and go out for long runs with her. She went on a few 20 mile training runs with him. We have a bob revolution stroller which is the absolute bomb. Even at 3 we still run with my daughter- but she has to to be bribed now. For the bike trailers I think the general rule of thumb is they are supposed to be a year old. We got a lot of use from our bike trailer too (used off of craigslist- get a double if you can- works great for pillows or stuffed animal friends.)

We went out to lunch one day and were surrounded by people who must have done one of the color runs. It was pretty funny. Sounds like a great day!

Monthly/weekly goals:

Charles:
1) Masters swimming - make the most of it
2) Follow the running plan / start training for Chicago Marathon
3) Try to find time for the bike


Hit the pool deck for Masters this morning, and it was a balmy 41 degrees outside. The water temps were approaching 80, so it was great once I hit the water, but standing on the deck in a pair of jammers was quite the experience. It's also long course season, so the yardage is ramping up - today I did 4,200, which is about 1,200 more than my previous best. Also just 25 short of full iron distance, which I didn't realize until afterward.

Swimming again tomorrow . . .

Yeah, we heard the same about the time frame. My wife is itching to get back out there so Im sure she will love it,
