Ghoulie March (STILL BIKING) Madness!!! (Page 19)

Dude, nice Saturday Century! Looking forward to the full story.

BTW, how many miles will TransIowa be?

Rival components, but we upgraded the crank to Force, since it weighs alot less. I have new pink speedplays on the way, too, and I am trying to decide if I want red, black, or pink bottle cages. My gear bag is black. Now I just need black shoes to match.

Yowza! Nice mileage. and a second yowza for chocolate milk. Better to know now though, right?  

Much deserved rest there, Melindy! Nice job out there today.

Morning Ghoulies. Dang nab it. My cold, or allergies, or both returned full steam. It is pouring rain and chilly and I feel like crapola. No 5K for me today. It should be illegal to feel bad on your days off!

Thanks guys! I'm a little achy today! results will be up tomorrow so I will find out what happened...

Was so zonked after it yesterday...had a nap and had a good sleep! It was probably more than the race, more of a culmination of the past 2 weeks!

Sorry you had to scrap the run.  Rest up and feel better soon!

I knocked another 50 miles off my bike goal today.  It was 39* with steady 20mph winds when I left this morning so I earned my HTFU points for the day.  Once I hit the turnaround point the sun came out and I had the wind at my back so it wasn't all bad.

Off to a group run and swim in a few minutes.  Yippee!

So this weekend was an opportunity for nutrition lessons.  Bill learned that choco milk is a better recovery drink than mid-ride re-fuel.  NJKim confirmed that McD's fries and chocolate shake are not a great pre-run meal. Of course, one should also know the only time I go for McD's is if I had too many adult beverages the night before.  I tasted those greasy mongrels for 9 miles.

Nice ride!  You are going to rock TransIowa.  Oh, my vote is for some cinamon and brown sugar poptarts in the pocket.

Gotta share one funny moment from yesterday's run.  Somewhere around mile 8 I was on an overpass crossing the interstate.  Shoulder was plenty wide and not much traffic so I didn't jump up to the concrete.  Car pulls up next to me and older gent rolls down his window. I'm ready for the "Get on the sidewalk" rant, but am taken aback by him shouting "Pick up your knees!"  'Ya know, I was shuffling a bit by then, but boy did I pick 'em up for that last mile.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Robin, I do believe you were scheduled to work today. So, this was a sick day.  As soon as you feel better, that is your day off.  Ghoulie rules. 

I am having a hard time understanding who could beat you out of the water.  Were you racing Michael Phelps?

BTW, good job and rest up.

Oh that is a great story!!    Love it!!

Had a really nice bike ride and then a run yesterday.  Then went out for dinner after cleaning up.  About 30 minutes after I got home, I had a horrible stomach ache and my sinuses were totally stuffed.  During the bike and run, people were out mowing yards and fields.  I think that must have set off the sinus trouble.  The stomach ache, I don't know. 

I am better today, but had a really rotten night.  I am taking today as another rest day since I am super sleepy, then get some workouts in for the next four days.  Then my tri on Saturday.

At least I enjoyed the pretty day yesterday outside during my workouts! 

Some dude and a chick from New Zealand beat me. haha. The dude was not Michael Phelps...but was a former swimmer...

My friend made me feel guilty about lazing around today...so I went out and did a bike outside...in shorts...oh yaaaa...

Hi all! I went for a nice bike ride this morning with hubby and another couple who are just starting tri-ing. It was cold and windy (34 degrees when we started, windy because we were out by the Great Salt Lake), but the sun was out and it was Beautiful. The best birthday ride a Gouhlie could ask for! 

Glad to hear I'm not the only Gouhlie who had a good weekend. 

Good morning Ghoulies!!!

It looks like there was lots of biking and running this weekend. WOOHOO!!!

My weekend didn't go as planned, but they rarely ever do.

Some extenuating circumstances kept me out of the pool on Saturday. I did get to the park yesterday for a try at a run. It is 2 miles around the park. I started off speedwalking. Once I felt warmed up a bit, it was cold and windy out, I started a slow jog. I felt ok for the most part. There were a few small declines that my knee did not appreciate, so I walked those. For the most part I felt ok though. I only did 1 lap because I was not dressed for the weather at all. I didn't realize it was so windy out. Tonight will be a spin on the bike and tomorrow I'm going back to the park for at least 2 laps.

I started a new blog, too. When I get home tonight and look up the link to it I'll add it in here. I fell like I've just been phoning in my workouts lately so I thought putting a blog out there that more people could see might help make me more accountable.

Have a great day Ghoulies!

Robin!!! Paging Robin!!!!

You OK??!!??!!

I just read that there were some pretty nasty storms throught NC last night.

Just want to make sure you are ok.

Good morning everyone!
