May Flowers Challenge (Page 2)

I'm in for May with run and bike.

I missed April by one swim session, but went over on a couple of the others.

Hey everybody, great to see you again!

My goals this month, I gotta figure out specifically, but REST SLEEP UNDER-DOING are all major priorities.

Recovery is one of the most important parts of training ...

Hi Guys! I'm in!

Had another long weekend Managed to get in a nice long ride yesterday, and raced on Sunday too. The tri was my first ever last year and I beat my time by 5 and a half minutes. Came second last out of the swim as usual but managed to overtake tonnes of people on the bike to finish 8/34 in my age group. Quite happy with that, now if only I could swim a little better....

PT GRADUATE, PART 2!!!

go me!

He doesn't think I will ever have another half mary in these legs, said he thinks I may be pushing it for 10K's. Kinda sucks cause I really don't like 5K races as stand alone events.  However, I can do sprint tris and relay longer events swim or bike.....Staying healthy ,active and OUT OF PT is my goal.

You know, I was told the same thing after I tore my Achilles for the second time ... actually no that's not true - I was told I'd never run again. I refused to believe them ... ;-)

Judi I believe if you listen to your body AND your heart, use your head, your body will settle into your new physical reality just fine. Sure you can't do half mary's anymore, but maybe this is your time to discover something new ... life is cyclical, if it stayed the same imagine how boring it would be!

Do I miss doing long runs - yes. I won't lie about that. (I can't run more than 10K now without risking major re-injury) ... but ... there's so much other stuff to do that I really don't have the time to miss running!

Thanks, TR....I want to prove him wrong.  Just know that it won't be this year.  Truthfully, staying fit and healthy is all I want at this point.  Racing is gravy, I love the environment and energy.....but it isn't all there is in life.

One of my friends here has been posting pics from his home area in AL, devastated by the tornadoes last week.  All I can say is there is a whole heck of a lot more to life than swimming, biking and running.

I'm glad to hear it! Congratulations re-graduating and I hope for no more repeats.

Awesome Rachel!

Woo hoo!!!  Have fun running and running and running!!  (within reason, of course...  )

Yeah, so I crashed last night instead of working out...  I had great intentions until work got away from me and then hubby came home and informed me he was heading to basketball.  By the time I got the kids to bed I was so tired and achy I just went to bed.  I just can't seem to shake this cold/allergy combo thing I have going on.

But today is another day!

With Toppage too!

Today is another day, and the rest probably did you good preparation for it.

Emmanem - 2011-05-04 5:24 AM I just found a miniature schnauzer breeder in Anderson... 20 minutes from Clemson and it's most likely where James and I are moving to in July  I emailed her to see if she had any puppies available... really hoping this works out for us!

On the puppy front ... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Hope!

On the apartment front ... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

CONGRATULATIONS Rachel!!! That's a hella lotta time to make up on the bike and run, especially for someone who also spends a lot of training time in other sports ...

where's the race report?

Amen.

I'm with the hopefuls, though ... I think you will be back running, and long-distance, but it all so very critically rests on you taking it FAR easier than you think you need to, for a fair bit longer than you think you need to.

Rrrr--oops--um

<----- hypocrite

Thanks Yanti! Well, I think I did a race report but I'm still not that great with all the features on here so if you can't see it under my races then I might have done something wrong...
