X-Men (Page 22)

I agree with Erica.  I think I rested a little too much before my tri last year.

I got an hour trainer ride in this morning and have a run on tap for this afternoon.

Wow Erica, glad your parrents are oK. Thats just scary!!!

No more trainer for me...I dont care what the weather is I'm NOT getting on it again!!!!

Stacie good luck on your tri. I dont do any thing on the day before a race except maybe a very short swim to "test" the water. Drink lots of fluids, make sure you are well hydrated and try to get a good nites sleep.

I hit the 400 mile mark today. I have NO doubt I will make my goal for the month. I would love to exceed it!!!!

ERICA.  HOLY MOLY THATS SUPER CRAZY SCARY.  so thankful that your mom moved their bedroom (how ironic huh??)

glad to hear everyones Ok.  hope they wont be displaced for too long.



THANKS EVERYONE for the taper week suggestions.  im having the hardest time getting motivated to do this itty bitty run today.  its raining so i cant go outside, and honestly it would take me longer to drive to the Y and back than it would take me to do the run itself....

but.  20 mins it is.  i think ill go up after my dh gets home from work....


had the coolest thing done to my foot today - COLD LASER - theyre trying to get the inflammation down in my foot.  we shall see, but so far so good.  the last couple of days ive had to take ibuprofen round the clock, but since having the laser procedure done (this am) i havent had to take the next dose.  seems to be working....

and i got adjusted today too (anyone else go to a chirpractor??)  at first the Dr thought my one leg was anatomically shorter than my other leg (a real problem....) but after he adjusted me, my legs were even (a much 'smaller' problem to solve)  so at least my legs are the same length and i responded quickly to the adjustment.

it will be interesting to see how the Tx plan affects my trng, im hoping for the better.  (or what would be the point right????)

stacieb

yeah KATIE to gettin in your ride.

enjoy that run of yours! 

maybe your run will help me get my butt in gear.....

stacieb

stacieb

That is crazy Erica...  Glad to hear they are okay!!!

4 days until the tri Stacie...  Good luck!!!

Katie - enjoy your run this afternoon...

MAV - you are my training idol...awesome job...!!!

4 days, your right BEN.  super silly excited.  [couldnt tell by all the blabbering ive been doing about it, huh?  LOL]  thanks for the well-wishes. 

well i got those measely 20 minutes D-O-N-E.  [i knew i wouldnt let myself off the hook if it didnt get it done] 

the clouds parted and i headed out the door.  got home just in time for the clouds to roll back in.  weird day weather-wise.

sunny skies headed our way over the next four-five days including race day.  YAHOOO.

ONWARD!

I guess I'm running tonight.  It is raining a cold nasty rain.   Oh well, tomorrow should be nice so it will work out.  I will squeeze a ride in between Cole's dr appt in the am, dropping off kids at school and Cole eval appt in the early pm. 

Thanks for all the well wishes for my parents.  They are back in there house with the electricity restored.  They can stay in the house but there is quite a bit of damage done.  Their insurance adjuster has already been out to the house to assess the damage and make a battle plan.  It looks like they are gonna have to tear down the outer two walls (at the very least) as well as replace the ceiling.  Gonna be a long process. 

In about 101 post

UGH.  i feel for your parents ERICA. (and you) 

what a long process this is gonna be for sure.  

just glad theyre both alright.  walls and ceilings you can replace.....

do they live far away?

stacieb

bummer bout the rain, it was cold and nasty here yesturday too (cept for that 20 mins of sun when i got my run in LOL)

GOOD LUCK SQUEEZING a RIDE in today ERICA.  GEESH.  we always lots to do - here there and everywhere.

hope Coles dr appt and his eval goes well.

stacieb

todays sure to be productive.

heading up to the Univ today where my mini is being held.  gonna swim in the Rec Center pool and then scope out the bike/run course.  not sure w school in session if ill actually be able to ride the course, but im taking my bike just in case.

if i cant ride, at least ill run/walk it.

SLIPPERY ROCK HERE I COME!!!!!  [brings back fond memories of when i would go and watch my brother play college soccer and rugby]
stacieb

SLIPPERY ROCK TOPpage^^^^^^^

I am sooooo annoyed!!  I get the kiddos all ready to go to the doctor this morning and go to grab my keys and lo and behold, they are no where to be found.  I left them in the car last night when Bry and I went out to dinner.  Locked out.  So aggravated!!  Now it was a race for them to catch the bus since we aren't going to the doctor.  They made it and I got the appointment rescheduled.  Still  annoyed though. 

You're so lucky to be able to practice on and/or check out the course ahead of time.

Grrr.  Sooo frustrating, though I'm glad the kiddos were able to catch the bus.

Ugghhh...I hate it when that happens!  Hope your day improves!

Morning all! I got swim 7/8 done this morning!  It was my first swim of 1600 yards in almost a decade!

Yeah Katie...way to use your super powers!!!!!

Erica..suckage at the begining of a day is not so good

WINDY today...no biking for me

Stacie relax and enjoy the day...the countdown has begun. Cant wait to hear all about it!!!!

hey team...  12 mile run this morning and a weak attempt at some speedwork in the pool this afternoon...

hope everyone is well!!!

Yeah, fortunately the day did improve.  Bryan came home at lunch and unlocked the car for me.  I got Liam to school and then rode in that crazy wind for 1h 15m.  Then took Cole to his eval appointment.  Not a total loss!  

The wind was insane today!  I am soooo glad I got out and rode though.  Even with the wild wind, I am seeing improvements!
