PeterAK's Group: THIS TREEHOUSE IS FULL!!! (Page 19)

Totally understandable with the tummy thing on your mind. Hopefully the doc can provide some explanation and RELIEF. Then a couple of good workouts should cure the blahs...

I'm with ya about wanting to sleep all the time. Hopefully yours is just 'cuz you're physically tired and not 'cuz you're in a mental funk....If I get 6 hours a night it's alot.

The diet thing, IMO, is meant to be flexible. No harm in eating junk now and then (for me, now AND then). As long as I'm not eating McDonalds every meal, I don't worry so much about the actual food. I DO try to eat enough so that my fuel stores are adquate for training.  I'm sure the nutrition police out there will say I'm doing myself a disservice by eating "poorly" and/or without structure. They are probably right, but its one less thing for me to stress about when I just eat what I want.

Hang in there, doood.

Way to go on the PR!!!!  You're turning into quite the speedster!

Way to go! PR - woohoo!  under 29 - Awesome job!

monday check in

After a not great last week i am hoping to get back at it this week - almost no running last week - this week will be run concentration early in the week...then the rest before the race.  Goal of course is to better last race - but is there a number to shoot for? 8.25?

 Have a great week everyone!

Monday Check In

Congratulations on your PRs Hilary!  I think I forgot to send an inspire....

I've been having some bad insomnia...not really sleeping well during the few hours I am considering myself asleep.  My brain seems to be affected alot more than my body...as I've been keeping up with my training, but doing stupid things at work.  On the other hand, I'm really happy with my February totals!:

MONDAY CHECK IN!!!

Had a weekend full of wedding planning, party at a colleague's house, went to see Angels and Airwaves, chopping the 2" of ice that was caked on my sidewalk, and last but not least, a trainer ride last night.  I'm leaving the office right now to go home and go running!

Monday Check-in:

Officially my HIM training program starts tomorrow! 20 weeks to SOR!

Weekend workouts consisted of a Brick on Saturday and a 10K endurance run on Sunday. My son spent most of the day Sunday at a baseball camp at UW-Whitewater. My run Sunday was in and around campus.

It's been fun to watch my son's interest and skills in baseball increase over the last couple of years. I look forward to the new Brewer season as we have a 20-pack season ticket package for the fam. Should be good times.

Saw "Vantage Point" on Saturday afternoon. Decent movie, but we saw it on the "ultra screen". I knew as soon as I sat down that I was way too close to the screen. To see the whole screen one had to scan quite a ways back and forth, up and down. Combine this with fast-moving action and I developed motion sickness half-way through the movie. What a panzy! Kinda took the fun out of the flick. Not doin' that "ultra screen" thing again unless I sit WAY in the back.

Don't have a whole lot to post.  Just wanted to bump us off the 2nd page!!!!!

I leave for Houston, TX in 1 more week!  Can't wait. 

I owe PeterAK a DTC training session but it doesn't look like I'll make it anytime soon!

Up to my elbows putting fress coats of paint on the walls of every room in our house as we prepare to put it up for sale.  Just paid to put an ad in the local paper and also posted on owners.com.  Check out the West Bend, WI listings!

Nice and Sunny in Chicago too  - too bad it's in the 20's- a rare evening swim on tap for me - perhaps another coat of minwax on the cabinets before i go...

 Happy wednesday folks!

Hope the surgeon appt goes well Dave.

I swam at lunch today for the first time in over three weeks.  Ahh, so that's what the pool looks like!  Also going to hit the computrainer tonight for... Gasp... A two-a-day!!!

Force, which half plan are you on?  I just printed the BT beginner half plan and am going to make that my new plan of action, subject to modifications for other races.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Hope all went well. Any answers from the surgeon?

 I don't feel like anything is resolved

Bummer Dave.  Hope it does heal up over the next two months.  Did the doc say not to push it when exercising? 

Happy Friday all.  Nobody racing this weekend, right?  Today is a rest day for me after working out five in a row.  Tomorrow have some wedding plan stuff to do, watching Marquette B-ball on tv, and a run.  Sunday going to hit up the computrainer.

Have a great weekend!

I am racing this weekend - last race of the series - I'll pay for it later but while I'm racing I'm fine. No he said to keep exercising - just ice and NSAIDs as needed

 Have a good one and thx for the words of encouragement...
