10/31--55min on trainer. Of course, trade off is that I totally burned dinner in the oven because I didn't want to get off to check on it. Plan B...scrape off the burnt stuff and eat it anyway. I'm committed to eating in all this week, so I'm reliving the days when I couldn't cook. Just checked the fridge and the only thing in it beer-wise is Dragon's Milk, which I don't like. Guess I'll have to reward myself with a nice bourbon. Maybe I'll have two, one as a reward for the workout and one to lament the sale of Jim Beam and Makers Mark to an international company. Sad day in bourbon.

Wow - I just checked that out on the internet. Suntory - a Japanese Whiskey company that is actually pretty good bought them... Hard to believe...

Love the fact that you burned dinner because you refused to pause your workout. That's awesome! When you pour yourself your bourbon - will you have it over ice or will you have it neat?

I built up the topic of the week and then totally spaced it.... That's almost a Coors Light penalty!

This weeks topic: Foam Rolling. Does it get any better? Specially Kevin wanted to know: How many times is adequete to roll calfs per day?  How long each time? He's currently rolling about 3-4 times a day for 2-3 minutes per calf with a rolling pin.  They're sorer than all get out.

Let make sure we touch of Kevin's question - but since it's the topic of the week - feel free to chime in about anything having to do with the Satanic object better known as the Foam Roller.

Here's a random question:

I have ~$1,200 in airfare credit with Southwest (long story - don't ask) and a week of vacation to burn by the end of this month. Other than that, I don't have a ton of money to burn, and I don't want to be tempted to over-eat or interfere with my training. Where should I go?

I would be tempted to head to the Caribbean or Mexico, but my wife isn't comfortable in a bathing suit in those conditions.

Looks like Coors penalty for me. Planned to get up at 5 to get a swim and run before working on my day off but was called at 2100 and informed that my hours changed to 0600. Won't get done till 1500 when I pick up my daughter for our date. Had to cancel either workout or daughter date.

I did get my pushups in for the challenge.

Good call. Workouts will be there. Kids grow up.

Originally posted by Qua17 X2. Coors Light (or Milwaukee's Best Light) penalties are waived when a workout is missed to spend time with family (especially for a father/daughter date). Training for tris means a lot of time away from family and when you have to choose between a workout and family - always make the same choice you did. You can easily make up a workout but it's much harder to fix a broken promise.

It's been a month and I give up on running. I still see the PT on Friday but I'm starting to get a bit more than pissed. Darren I remember last year when you were going through that dark time with your injury and at the time couldn't fully appreciate where you were at. Well I do now. I lost 5 months last year to the right knee and now lord knows how long I will lose to the left one. I can't even do a run walk without being in pain. It's coming from my ITB location on the outside of the knee, Gerdy's Tubricle, and outside of my patellar tendon. Kinda a whole big mess in there. Not sure if it's a tight thing or muscle imbalance but what ever it is I'm sick of it. I can swim and cycle fine so I'll continue with that and screw running. Unless my PT has some super miracle news, which I don't see happening, I am tossing in the towel on a 1 hour sprint. I will spend '14 with my new found love of cycling. No impact and good for the body. If I can complete in a sprint in the second half to end of the season so be it and if not I'm fine with that as well but I'm not even concerned with my times. As it sits for now I'm not signing up for anything that involves running more than 10 feet.

As weird as this sounds I'm actually OK with this. I certainly won't lose any sleep over it. I know today was supposed to be a run/swim day but I'm going on my bike for a leisurely stroll to get some stress out before going to swim tonight. Peace out

You all want a quick laugh and to smile when it gets tough?

See my earlier post about the run trouble then continue to read.

So I go for a nice stroll on the bike after feeling down about the run problem and what happens? A flat tire. As I'm changing it my nose starts to bleed. Needless to say I packed it up and rode home and didn't finish my ride.

I still have swim tonight to save my day. What could possible go wrong there? Keep on keeping on BDAAS!
