Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! (Page 20)

Congrats on the 10K John!! That is awesome! Talk about a confidence boost before the tri season! Very nice!!

I don't think you could have found a better trainer either!! Dan is a great person and a kick triathlete!! Tell him I said hello! 

I would say that yesterday was a pretty good day for you!! Except of course for the Corona's! (Moment of silence observed!) 

I quit drinking until at least after FL70.3 so not as disappointing for me as for our house guests 

Sequioa 50K trail run... DONE...

Started like 45 minutes late due to traffic..    We (three of us) decided to stay together and make it a long run as opposed to a race so we took our time.  It was a beatufiul day in the Oakland hills..     

Stats

Distance 50K

Luis, nice run...you are awesome.

JBD, nice a$$...you are awesome. 

BAB, sorry about powerbar...you are awesome in my eyes. 

Hello All,

 JBD - I love the pic! I laughed out loud and my husband is like...what! I didn't tell him I was looking at someone else's booty.

I think it's been well over a week since I've been on. I was sick then I went into work overload. Unfortunately when I do that I back off of my workouts. I have been working out, but not as strong. I just didn't get back up to speed after being sick.

My goals for this week: Log my workouts and food everyday, plan my workouts and stick to them.

That's it! Have a great week!

Tdog 

Page two...  that is not cool..

 I had a good weekend,  I got sick a little but I bounced well.   I hope I can keep healthy until IMcDA.   I had a good training week,  although my biking volume is still VERY, VERY low.   I hope that will change in the next few weeks. 

This week the volume is going up considerably,  I sure hope I have enough time to actually keep up with the program (life happens huh?)...  

 I decided that I am going to do two more ultras and then i will take a break until IMcDA is done.   So I have one more ultra in two weeks and another two weeks after that.   

 Where is Bob?

Page 2.. hmm not good..

Well, I hope everyone had the best of the best of a training weekend.  I've decided to do my post race report in a quick and easy readers digest format.  I think I've discovered how a half marathon or any race can make me go through the 5 stages of emotions..

I'll call it  "My 5 stages of a Half Marathon Race Report"

Denial - I can't believe I'm doing this again!  I just did one two weeks ago.
Anger - Where the hell is my heart rate monitor!! Hurry up coffee!! 
Bargaining -  Please, can't we just once fast forward to the finish line so I can go back to sleep? I wish Bob was here.  Please Bob come out from the crowd, I know you want too.
Depression - Ow!  My ankle hurts. Ow, my stomach is hard as a rock and I don't like that guys cologne.  Wait, why is he wearing cologne? Moron.   I can't breathe, Darn it I have to pull out my inhaler AGAIN. I don't like Asthma anymore.  Why do I have to have asthma and a difficult ankle? 
Acceptance -  Okay.  So I can't run the last 3 miles and my bytching and crying isn't going to bring the finish line to me.  I have keep moving.  You did an ironman!!  You have ink to prove it!  I will finish this race.  I will earn that medal.  "No, don't put it around my neck I'll just carry this one."

 I have him in my basement.  

Should we be worried about Bob's safety?

Good morning!!

Work is going to be extra crazy this week.  I am going to see some training conflicts. I might have to up the swimming and drainer. 

How is everyone this morning??

I'm leaving work early to go ride and run

I'm happy

I'm hungry.

Has anyone heard from Bob?  I thought he was suppose to have more time for us when he got his new job and gained 12 extra hours in his schedule. 

I don't feel the love. 

And to think, she went from a ditch in a basement to the head of cardio on Grey's Anatomy. 

HOLY CRAP!! that IS her.....

"I've got yer dog mister.....Don't make me hurt your little precious....." 

I will NOT keep my mind out of the gutter.  You are NOT the boss of me. Wait...are you?
