ELORAs spirit was there, indeed. i wrote on my FB page.... some days are not to be rushed. today is one of those days. looking forward to a week of tapering.... have a happy everyone. stacieb ps. to read Eloras story....http://www.elorashope.com/ Very cool! My best friend when I was a kid passed away of leukemia when she was 21. I think about her almost every single day. TRACY. im sorry for your loss....it IS amazing how impactful those events can be on our life, especially when they happen when were kids. no doubt you think of your friend almost every single day..... CANCER SUCKS BIG TIME!! stacieb yes it does |

Elite 3447 West Allis, WI | Subject: RE: Fighting Okra - September End of Summer Challenge skrtrnr - 2009-09-21 7:26 AM its a quiet week for me.... two swim workouts to get in. and a 40 min tempo. and another short run, probably 2-3 miles at most.... getting ready for my ride this Saturday and my 10K on Sunday. not sure how thats all gonna work. i dont remember my legs being all that hammered after the MS150.... the 10K is really a training run for me....and to gauge where im at, pace-wise. i guess my long runs and the 5K have been a good indicator that im right where i need to be at this point in my 1/2 Mary training. so..... i REALLY like this 10K. its been an annual race for me back when i started running, it was my first BIG race i ran....funny what a HUGE deal it was back then, when i ran the 5K course. its a very popular race in PGH, one of the biggest attended races of the year. its a super swifty course, lots of downhills. so definately worth showing up for.... i guess ill have a better idea how to approach the race come Sunday morning when i wake up and see how my legs are feeling. its all good! gonna head out later to swim. HAPPY TRNG EVERYONE! stacieb busy race week for you! I have my last tri of the season on Sunday. This was my first tri ever and I remember how nervous I was! Now I can't wait to get started!! |

I hate to complain, but gosh what is up with our weather?! 100% humidity, what's up with that!? Isn't that the same as rain? After running you would not have know the difference for looking at me, I was drenched, with clear skies! Keeping my fingers crossed for some cooler/dryer weather! Wish we only had 100% humidity to deal with. Rain, rain and more rain. Flash flooding. People can't make it to work today. My friend's car got flooded at the front of the subdivision. It's all a mess. Good news, got a ride in on the trainer and am hoping to get out and walk in the rain when it is not so hard. Need to get my mileage in. And we are having a long dry spell! Just got a little rain the other night! |

What mix do you use for your 40 minute tempo?40 min tempo run today. heading up to the Y in a bit. HAPPY TRNG EVERYONE! stacieb Hello DAN. not sure what you mean by mix but... i start out w 10 mins easy/long run pace then 20 mins at my tempo pace which is slightly faster than my 1/2 marathon goal pace and then finish up 10 mins at my easy/long run pace. what i was jazzed about is that the last time that i did a tempo run, the tempo pace felt like a bit of reach ie i had to work really hard to maintain it... this time, though i was still working, it felt MUCH more manageable to maintain. a sign of progress i'd say. that sub 2 hr 1/2 Mary goal is looking like its w/in my grasp more and more of the time. if i can just maintain, not push too hard....run up to that 'edge'....but not over it, ya know. SUCH a delicate balance. ONWARD! stacieb |

Elite 3447 West Allis, WI | Subject: RE: Fighting Okra - September End of Summer Challenge Well I road my bike to work this morning and it is just pouring now! Had to get a ride home from a friend, I know I have said to train in the rain but this close to race day and already not feeling so hot thought it best not to push it! Tri stroke was great....we did lots of drills and I felt my whole stroke come together...hope it lasts for race day! Hope everyone else is having a good training day!! |
