Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Wow the posting has really dropped off as the summer goes on. My race is at the end of the month and i can't wait. I really have worked my OWS. I think I'll be taking 10 min off last years time. - Last year i swam on my back, doggie paddle, floated and waited for current to help move things along. Very sad i know - this year i will finish w/ my group!!!! I'm sure not all of them but at least I'll see the same swim color cap! So still dealing w/ knee pain, starts in heal moves up along outside of cafe and lands on outer left knee. So I google it - plam O - lots of things i can do to fix it. So 20 bucks later w/ new running support no leg pain until after 5 miles :> I'll trim them up alittle more and I'm good togo. Love that internet. Hope everyone is holding in there. |

Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ok i did it!! Rode twice to work this week, I've been trying ever since I started this a few weeks back. It never worked as my legs where shot, or no time, or work itself. 1 trip per week. Today however! nailed it! - I was also looking at my training log - only 13 miles togo before i hit 1000 miles this year! I never really tracked it before, but trust me my miles where never this high! I can't wait for chicago - 2.5 weeks and I'm starting to get excited. Hope your day is going well - have a super hump day. Bill |

Not usually that much! I've tried to hit 1,000 miles the past few years, but never managed to do it with injuries and marathon training. This year I can't really ride anymore because I'm almost 6 months pregnant and worried about my balance. Plus, it's just not that comfortable anymore. |

I have done as much as 5000 is years past, but I am primarily a biker.....little to no running back then. I do have over 200 hours of "Saddle" time in this year. My time on the spin bike doesn't show up on milage. If you average 15 mph for 200+ hours.....pushing 3000 vertual miles.......... |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Just checking in. Looks like it's been pretty quiet here. Just an update: Been going to physical therapy 2-3x a week for my back and pelvis. Seems to be going well. I have my up and down days, but I keep grinding it out. I make sure to ride at least a few miles a day on the bike and walk a 1/2 hour. I am still restricted from running and swimming. Been doing lots of core training. I can't wait till I feel better and get the ok from the doc. to let me loose. Hope everyone is well and doing great!

Regular ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Bishtaw - 2011-08-30 12:50 PM Well race report posted, had a great time and placed close to top 3rd of pack. More swim practice for me. l8r Glad to hear you had a great time placed close to the top 3rd of the pack! Here's what's been happening with me... after completing my first triathlon on July 9th I said, "What's next?" Since then I have returned back down to Mexico where I do not have access to a bicycle. Therefore, now I have been concentrating more on running. August 28th I ran my first 10K race EVER in 62 minutes, on September 4th I ran my first 5K race in 31 minutes, and on September 11th I ran my second 10K race in 63 minutes. Yes, three weekends, three races. I and my running pals even made the local newspaper here in Mexico... http://www.elsiglodetorreon.com.mx/noticia/660320.llegan-a-la-meta.html (I am the girl in the pink top.) I hope everyone is out there running, biking, and/or swimming and having a great September! |
