I had an SI joint problem 5 years ago. It is really sad that every time someone writes about an injury I've had it. Anyway, I had some PT, and ultrasound treatments. The PT would lay me on a table and yank my leg straight up into the air, lovely. Good luck, mine healed up pretty easily and I have not had trouble with it anymore. Hope you had a great run!

Hey everyone, hope all is doing well. Sry i havent been too active this season but real life is getting in the way as it always likes to do   I do enjoy my late nights getting to catch up with what you all have going on, and it really helps to motivate me.

But alas i am feeling like im not going to be ready for my main race this year. i somehow got talked into a HIM after only doing 1 sprint last year (never said i was the smartest guy) ive been trying to just do a plan off the top of my head but with work and house hunting and family and friends i tend to forget to train. so i am trying to plan somethign out and was looking for some imput.

Love Eric :P

sounds pretty good on the bike depending on just how old it is... if it fits of course Nice score on the trainer too!

Great Job! Sounds like you are well on the right track.

At night if I get the urge to snack I usually try to go for pop corn (I just pop corn kernals... no butter or anything) It gives me plenty to munch on without a lot of calories. Keep up the good work!

always the hardest part

glad to hear things are set straight.

The weather can definitely have some effect on motivation. When it's terrible outside and I really don't want to get to it I always think "suffer now, and celebrate when you beat everybody in the race that took today off"

my swim today was a bit rough. Certainly missed my goal pace in almost every set :/

Run this afternoon, going to try to get back into my mojo Going to put some miles in the "Adios"

Got to go to swim class last night. Coach found some flaws in my stroke - darn it. Just when you think you're good at something somebody tells you you're doing it wrong LOL. Actually I'm glad to have the input and my stroke really felt better by the end of class.

Not sure I'm going to make all my workouts this week. My son has the stomach flu. I'm starting to feel a little off myself. Not too bad but definitely off. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Ahem... let me amend. Coach screwed the Pooch and sent me the times I was needing to hit in Yards as opposed to Meters (I swim in a meter pool)

... No wonder I was off on the sets.

Ah - oops! Maybe you can get a refund for that workout?

Lucky you! It's supposed to warm up here, too... but that just means that it's going to be wet and gross... I wish the seasons would be like flipping a switch. Winter and summer, none of this spring/fall BS.

Sorry I haven't been around much... I'm keeping super busy with training and changing my life direction. But I'm getting to where I may be happy with life soon, and my training is going well, so I can't really complain! 30k run in 2 weeks, so I am doing a 25k run this weekend. Wish me luck!!!

Yes, it was a little warmer here today but so windy again for my long ride. I am really anxious to ride my tri bike in decent weather. I'm either bundled up so much I can barely move or I feel like the wind is going to blow me over! Of course when the heat comes I won't know what to do LOL!

Hope everyone has some great weekend workouts. My schedule has me off tomorrow but next week will be my biggest volume week yet. Fingers crossed I don't fall apart at the seems.

I Hate hate hate riding outside in the cold! I Avoid it like the plague haha.

I agree though, when it warms up I am always thinking "crap I wish it would cool off some!"

Hello people. I have a confession. Today was the first day. I got a decent work-out in. Life has offically gone into hyper-warp, supersonic speed. I had bachelor party #1 two weeks ago, went to my "frigid" hometown of Philly last weekend for bachelor party #2 And everything in between has been work, wedding stuff, and more work/wedding stuff. I want my life back. :-( Wedding is 16 days away and starting to get excited. I'm ready for this thing to happen. We've been putting this together since november of 2009.  Then it's off to the honeymoon and back to life. Then back to training

How is everyone else doing?

I hope you post a picture or two of your big day! That's so exciting! I wouldn't worry much about your training right now. You've got the whole rest of your life for that. Your bride to be probably needs you around a lot right about now!

We're busy here too. I feel like I'm running in 10 different directions. This week everything is happening at once. Teaching more than usual. I know a whole 8 hours but it's still more than normal . Trying to get ready for my kids birthday parties on Sunday which means shopping, decorating, wrapping etc. A couple of my old school friends want to get together tonight in my hometown which is 2 hours away and it's my highest volume week yet in the training plan. I've managed ok except my foot has been really sore after my long run on Wednesday. Feels better today but not 100% so I'm going to skip todays run and see how I feel tomorrow. Skipping a workout is already eating away at me. I have not missed one workout of the plan yet but I know it's for the best. Of course with all the commotion I have come down with a chest cold. Drats - still so much to do......

Have a good weekend everyone!

haha you have to love the Bachelor parties! Last year I had to throw a couple for my buddies... fortunately I've managed to avoid my own for a while now Enjoy the break, have fun! There will be plenty of time to grind out some nausea inducing workouts later!

Speaking of workouts... everything is going good on my front. Feeling stronger (err... faster that is) than ever. Half marathon is a little under three weeks away, hoping for a great time. (both figuratively and literally)

Heeeelllp   Meeeeeee!!

I've completely lost my motivation.?

Blame it on the crappy Idaho weather, job demands, single-parenthood, family issues, personal relationship issues...WHATEVER.  I need to HTFU and get going, and SOON!

Rant Over-Carry On!
