Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() MDHillSlug - 2008-03-05 7:50 AM I did my first bike commute of 2008. We had a bunch of rain overnight, but the morning is gorgeous. The roads were a bit wet, but not too bad. Fun! Sounds fun, I'm jealous! Still a little cold for biking outside here |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() It's going to be too cold for me again the rest of this week. Wanted to grab the day while I had the opening. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I rode into town for my CPR class! Yeah! My back is doing pretty good. It doesn't hurt anymore but it is insanely stiff. Going to Crescent City tomorrow. (BTW.....I'm sure you all want to know a little tidbit of info about the north coast of CA. |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I feel like yesterday's commute completely wiped me out, and I'm not sure why; two 44 minute rides 8 hours apart shouldn't have made me so tired. Last night I had no enthusiasm for deciding/planning what I'd do this morning, and this morning's run was poor. Oy! |

Last night I had no enthusiasm for deciding/planning what I'd do this morning, and this morning's run was poor. Oy! Is it possible your getting a cold, Nicole? I usually notice my runs seem really hard and I have no energy a couple days before coming down with actual symptoms of an illness. I also find that if I start treating it at this first early sign it tends to be less severe and not last as long, Vitamin c, airborn, echinacea, zicam, whatever you do for illness.

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Other than feeling wiped I feel good. Does that make any sense? I probably should have listened to my body and taken a day off. I didn't because I hate to have extra white boxes on my calendar ![]() |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I usually take one day off each weekend, but sometimes it's Saturday and sometimes it's Sunday. So, sometimes I end up doing 7 or 8 days straight, like right now. Yeah, I should have taken this morning off and done yoga instead. |

I wish I lived near the water again. Saturday is supposed to be my long bike day, but rain will probably have me inside on the rollers/trainer |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Good morning everyone! How did the weekend treat you? I had a busy Monday so I didn't have a chance to check on any of your weekend adventures. How is the taper going, Shaun? Who else has races coming up within the next couple of weeks? Cheers to a great day! |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I was stuck inside for my ride on Saturday (25 miles on the rollers and trainer). Sunday was a planned off day. I had another good swim yesterday and a good run this morning. No races for me until the middle of April. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() oh the taper !! all i feel like it is doing is causing me to second guess my training . sometimes i just dont feel like im ready . i guess its mostly about the swim . my last race was a real bad swim . i have been working on it but it still sits in my mind . but i did read somewhere a quote that said "you cant run another marathon till you forget about the last one " and man im tring to forget but its twice as long . its not that my time was bad that i can deal with its i had such a hard time breathing and felt like i was taking on more water than i was swimming through. but once im out its on !! my bike is rolling so good with them new tires it feels so fast . i never knew howw slow them training tires were or howw hard they make you feel like you are working . and the run well i dont know we shall see . one thing im so happy about is my son is gonna be here for the race . he gets in at 6am on sat. this will be the first big race he is gonna get to see . maybe thats whats bothering me too . i want nothing more than to have a good race for him to see . then the next weekend me and him are running the beach bum 5k so that will be a fun race . oh well enough beating my brain up over this . thanks guys for all the pep talk you been sending my way . |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hi everyone. My apologies for being inconsistent on the forum! I seem to be catching every bit of crud that comes through these days and have been struggling with staying current on here. I'm feeling healthy this week, but I ate way too much ice cream while I wasn't working out and am trying to get back on track with my diet. After a few days of hard work I'm back on track weight-wise, but am soooo hungry. Aside from the whole being fat thing, I do enjoy the being fat lifestyle of eating. *sigh* How are you all doing? Who has races coming up soon? How is everyone doing with their goals so far this year? |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hi Sarah! Nice to see you back! I looked at your logs. You are sooooo close to meeting your weight goal for the end of March! That is well within your reach!!!! Way to go girl!!! Now, go make up a yummy salad with tuna or salmon and lots of beans! |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Me too, I have been sick for at least 30 of the last 45 days. It is totally screwing with my training. My we consists of MTW life sucks, W evening well try to get some kind of run in, Th try for a little more, rest F, try to get a real run in (slow pace) on S at feel like crap on Sunday rince repeat for 7 weeks. I am glad I had like 1-2 days clear for that race 2 weeks ago. Man my whole family has been sick 1-3 kids home sick from school every day for 7 weeks. Everything not so great oh well. My lungs are killing me after a short 4.5 mile jog tonight. Well coughing, and such. I am not sure what to do about tomorrow at this point. Probably not the 8-9 mile run on the schedule, maybe justa got bed after work. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Man, I'm tired! This night owl is having a hard time switching to being an early bird! It feels like I'm overtraining but I think it is a scheduling problem. How is everyone else doing this week? |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I don't know if you guys have seen this or are interested, but here is a link to some great deals on entry level tri and road bikes Javelin Bike Sale thread . I just ordered a tri bike for me and a road bike for my dh. At these prices I just couldn't pass it up. |
