Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! (Page 18)

YES!!!!!!! CAN I LIGHT THE BAR-B-QUE NOW!!!!  

Congrats Tim!! You are going to have the time of your life!!! I am even more excited for this race!! 

I might've had second thoughts had I read your post in the New York thread about the big hill on the run!! The guys with the bongo drums better be there again this year! 

YAY!!! congrats!!  now git yer a$$ out there and TRAIN!! 

SO, I've a lot of crap, and today is the day to clean the closets....can I log that? Other than that....it's a rest day.  YAY!!

Hope everyone has a great day! 

Yeay th weather is finally nice and dry..   I am going for a bike ride today...  

We can't always be on top, the bottom is good too...just sayin'.

What's on tap today/this week peeps?  60' on Treddy today as I enter week 3 of a 4 week build period in my 20 week HIM plan.

Mine used to fall asleep but mine were because my shoes were too tight and after long distances I was swelling in my shoes too.  I had to get wider toe area for my tootsies.  Now my lil sausages have plenty of room and no more sleeping. 

Hmm I can only think of tight/crammed toes and not necessarily the heal area.

This past week has been nothing but lots of camera shots.. I'm not happy with the way I look.. Can you say my mojo went waaaaaaaaaaaaay down??  I'll have a donut.. why not..

hey there..  I did have some issues back when I got new shoes..   It turns out that my cleats were attached a little to the front which forced me to pedal with my toes pointing down.  After I moved the cleats just a few mm backwards to make sure I was pedaling with the balls of my feet, numbess went away...  

hope this helps

Trixiroonie!!!

Carla, I have had numbness in my feet cycling as well and cured it by adjusting the cleats a little bit. It doesn't take much of an adjustment to make a difference. Just loosen the screws on the cleats and move them a tiny bit.

I hope this helps you out.  

hey everybody...  good morning.. 

I have been nursing this cold that comes and goes..  I thought it was over, but it came back last night.    I barely could sleep... agg!!      I had a spin session this morning that went down the toilet.  I woke up, but I did not want to go knowing that I barely slept all night long.   Run planned this afternoon, hopefully I will feel better..

How is everybody today? 

humm...   where are the pics?   inquiring eyes want to see....   

I'm thinking of posting one that i received.. I'll show ya when I get home.

I played foozeball at lunch with Dave.. The back of my head is about to explode now. . I used a lot of blood in such a short amout of time.  Too much excitement.  That can be logged as a workout can't it?

This is a constant problem for me.  It begins to feel like ice water is pouring through my veins of my second and middle toe, predominantly on the right side, but sometimes on the left.  I usually ride with my toes curled up for a few minutes and that cures it for a bit.  It is a problem that I also have when I run, it is annoying to sometimes painful.  But who doesn't like pain????? 

trixie - 2008-02-12 5:09 PM Hi. I'm doing nothing today. Tomorrow I'm flying to Arizona.  I shall hike/run up a mtn when I get there. YAY ME!!

I was going to say Have Fun, but then I remembered that the true spelling of Trixie is: F-U-N !

Bob/Fellow Mentees:

MY first ever HIM is in July and the course has 5 AID stations on the bike approx 10 miles apart.  Now I'm a true BoPer and the extra minute or 2 isn't going to make much of a difference in my overall time/placement.  Should I just count on the on-course nutrition/hydration to meet my needs, provided I train with what they provide?  Anybody actually stop at an AID station during the bike portion of a HIM. 

Tim

Hey Tim!!

I try to keep things as simple as I can for nutrition. In years past at Musselman the on course hydration has been Heed by Hammer Nutrition and it tastes like sweat. I bring the gels I need in a flask or two, my Gatorade endurance in my water bottles and have water in my NeverReach Hydration System. The HammerGels they offer are pretty good and I can't remember what else is on course.

The ride is absolutely beautiful, except for the 22% grade hill that goes on for about 2 miles by the prison, you are going to love it!! You can go change your shorts now, I was just kidding about the hill!!

There are people that stop at the aid stations, don't forget to thank the volunteers!! You will enjoy the weekend and there is plenty of swings and a small beach for the kids to play in too!!
