katie.

i gets all squirrly with drop back weeks too.

take care of those sore legs of yours.  i always find working out, ever so lightly works best.  a short run sounds just right

what was your race?  we wants details there missy. 

I'd love to run there!  I love Chicago!  Everytime I'm there (I have family in the suburbs) I wish I could run there.  It's fabulous!

ANOTHER sweaty indoor trainer trng session.

WOO HOOO FOR YOU!

i hardly ever break a sweat when im on the indoor trainer.  i need you to come and work me out!

i have no idea about the Spinerval DVDs, so's i cant help you out there. 

Crap, the school just called.  Cole is sick.  This kid is ALWAYS sick!  Gotta run!

i have a lake front and a river front too, cept when its rainy and windy and cold and YUCKO. 

im a terminal inclement weather wuss! 

give me climate control, darn it!

.....but w climate control comes the DIZZY DOME AKA the 1/11TH MILE INDOOR TRACK AT THE RES YMCA.

dagnabit.  hope its something 24 hrs [OR LESS, yes much less]

get well soon COLE!

poor little guy.

i spared myself the dizzy dome experience, and did my 38 min run on the TM instead.  as if thats any better.  LOL.

i got to the Y a little later than usual, and the silver sneakers had already taken over the track.  god love em.

i had a very pleasant run.  i almost kept running, but remember i have a LONG ride tomorrow and a long swim to still get in this week, so i packed the extra energy away to save for another day.

i hadnt expected to have a decent run today, what w the past few days and how BLECH i felt.

i was fully prepared to have to cut it short but i felt great.

that was an unexpected, but pleasant surprise.

hope to tick off some of my CYCLING HOURS tomorrow.

HERE COMES THE SUN doo-doo-doo-doo......

im a bit jacked.

i was at the Y on Monday, and left my swimsuit.  i didnt realize it until i went through my stuff yesturday, but i still wasnt feeling great, and thought ill be back up to the Y tomorrow, ill just get it out of the lost and found.  BIG mistake.

chkd lost n found first thing when i got there, GONE!

GONE.  GONE GONE GONE GONE!

not in the lost in found, not at the front desk, not in the pools lost n found.

G-O-N-E. GONE.

who does that???

who takes someones bathing suit??

imho....its like stealing someones underwear.

and does this person think they could get away w actually wearing the suit at the Y?????

HELLO?  i'm like there SIX DAYS A WEEK.

theres only 5 lanes to swim laps in, and theyre side by side.

you aint gonna get nothin past me.

thats just WRONG on SO many levels.

[Erica didnt you or someone from the TRPs have a very similar conversation?]

rant off/

Thanks.  We are back and he is very much NOT sick.  Says he has a headache but I think he just wanted to come home!  Substitute teacher today.

ACK!!!  That is wrong on soooooo many levels!  (yes, that did happen last month.  I forgot to who though.)  Why would someone want to take another person's swim suit????  Just plain wrong.

On a different swimsuit note, I think it is time to retire one of mine. When I washed it the other day it is looking a bit threadbare.   Just what I don't need is a transparent suit!   Time to go shopping!

BOY THAT WAS QUICK!  you must live close....

GOOD, he's not sick, but....

DAGNABIT, he's not sick.

We live less than a half mile from the school.  It takes me 3 minutes even getting stopped at the light.  Yeah, I'm not sure what the headache thing is.  Got an e-mail from his teacher yesterday saying he was complaining of a headache all day.  Same today.  Maybe time to get his eyes checked again?  Maybe he just doesn't want to be at school!

speaking of BUYING SWIMSUITS.....

do you [or any other teammates] have  preferred swim suit shopping spot? 

preferred swimsuit brand?

ive heard swimoutlet.com is a good site, that and sierratradingpost.com

any other sites/stores you frequent?

i got my now STOLEN suit at DICKs.  i wanted to try a few brands on to see which one i liked the most fit-wise.  i like TYRs the best......

and does this person know who she's dealing with??

im a X-MAN FOR GARSH SAKES!

It was an 8K called the Shamrock Shuffle...and let me tell you if you don't like cold, windy and snowy than it was not for you...we ran in 2-3 inches of slush...but it was fun because they close down a lot of downtown chicago streets and you get to run on them!

Snowy TopPage!

That is just GROSS! Why on earth would you think that is acceptable! 

HEY i ran a SHAMROCK SHUFFLE TOO.

nothing like your shamrock though.

beautiful sunny day.  and hills, hills and more hills.  thats WESTERN PA for ya.

as for cold, windy, snowy, slushy.your right NOT the race for me.  but more POWER to you! 

my friend in the Army would say that the cold, wind, snow and slush is the SUCK factor and every run/race needs a certain amt of SUCK FACTOR in order for you to become a better runner. 

i guess thats why HEs in the ARMY and im NOT.  AND he can run circles around me.

i like to keep my SUCK factors to a minimum thank you very much.   

your race sounds AWESOME though, and to be able to run through downtown HOW COOL IS THAT!

im taking a 10K marathon relay leg and i get to run through my favorite sections of the city of PGH, im totally jazzed about that.  

and its in MAY, so hopefully no snow

global warming you never know.
