kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 221)

Very "easy" run on the treadmill this morning, only for 30 minutes.  Trying to slwoly ease back into running.  No irritationin the IT band, but still felt a slight irritation in the hamstring.  Stretching after helped that. Heading to the gym for stength training after lunch.

have a great monday

Great work Michelle!!!!  Congrats on a great race!!!

Michele - Fantastic job! 

Karen - I cook sweet potatoes at least once a week.  I make them in all different ways.  If it's a grill night, then I cut them into large cubes, toss them in olive oil and salt, wrap them in foil, and cook them on the grill.  Last night I diced them into tiny cubes and cooked them in a pan with olive oil.  My kids are going to leave my house as young adults never wanting to eat sweet potatoes again in their lives.  LOL 

Jeff (jslarz) - Get better soon, dude!  I've had a cough for about 2 weeks, which has been keeping me up at night.  If you have any burning in your lungs, or if you are hacking up green stuff, then you probably ought to see a doc.  Pain or hack = meds.  Might want to get in before the holiday.  Do you have a fever?

Jeff (rizer) - Hope your ITB issue is sorted out and you were able to run painfree today!!

I was on the bike early this morning.  Had planned on doing a Spinervals dvd, but my husband messed with our computer last night, and it's doing all sorts of crazy things.   I'm going to lift and do swim drills at the gym tonight.  I leave for my parents' house on Wednesday, where we'll stay for 5 days.  Will probably run on Thursday and Friday at my aunt's house.  Saturday and Sunday are total rest days.  Lots and lots of eating, drinking, and euchre.  Huge euchre player here.  Grew up playing it.  We play for $, too. 

Rudy--

Don't you want to tell everyone about your race this weekend?

Ok, lol

this weekend i had a cyclocross race, it was the CT state champs i finally got a front row start whistle blew and i get a good jump was trying to get a hole shot lead, 150 meters in I snapped my chain, start the walk of shame back to the infield and the race director yells, you wanna borrow my kids bike?? Some 5 mins later race director lends me his kids bike, the seat is 3cm to low, the bike is 2 sizes too small, he tells me i'll give you a buck for ever rider you chase down, 40 mins later and 20 guys, i ran down half the field for a 20/40 finish. Paid for my race fee!! but god did that 40 minutes hurt like hell!!!  my good buddy and training partner ended up winning the race, very happy for him!!!

Awesome. 

Not hacking up anything, no fever, thats why i am not worried.  Just raspy, wheezy cough that is basically stopping me from working out as deep breaths trigger coughing fits.  i'm OD'ng musinex and my inhaler.  Now was not the time i really wanted to take a week off.  I was doing well in terms of my running.  Meh, par for the course these days, here is what we dealt with last week refrigerator was making noise, our plasma TV randomly stopped working and my wife's car broke down. 

Rudy, very impressive race.  Would you have won the race without that problem?  a 5 minute break, and you still finished MOP.  Nice.

Jeff-y - That blows!!!!  Some great deals out there on new TV's.

Received an email today from OneTri.com (a sponsor on this site).  40% off everything, even clearance items, from this friday until Monday.  Check it out.

Awesome massage tonight and got massages scheduled all the way til Goofy!!!

Have any of you any had a shin massage???  It is awesome, especially when you have sore shins, but definitely has to be done right to not hurt you further.

That is hilarious, but whatever it takes to get it done.

We actually had a ride n' tie out here this past weekend (10 miles where 1 runs while the other bikes, but you have to finish together and you have to switch at least 2 times), and it was funny to hear about the 5'2" people on the same team as a 5'8" person and handing the bike back and forth between the two.  Totally doing that with my nephew next year!

According to Slowtwitch, he competed in IMLP this year and finished in 10h and a little, and leaves behind two kids. 9 yo daughter and 6 yo son, who were both at the race. It is so sad. I can't stop thinking about him or the too young 21 yo man who died.

Jeff R--  yeah, i had a pretty good shot to win this one, the guy that won it i train with alot, we are very diffrent in riding style, he is an Ironman, can go for ever, i think he went 10:13 in LP, I ride much different, i have huge acceleration/power, but my endurance is no where near his, it woulda been a good game of cat/mouse, i woulda tried to bury him with hard attacks, he woulda tried to ride me into the ground with a constant uptempo pace, in the end, i think i woulda got 2nd to him, but it woulda been close.

Carrie, this site really needs a like button "i asked for a foundation spot and got no response"  I laughed my a$$ off, that is exactly the response i woulda got......   The only thing is my quads still hurt from not being able to extend while riding, and i musta jammed the handlebar into one, cause i have a very sore spot and a big knot in one.

Jeff-y, yes i am, that is why you like me, i am cheap entertainment.

Michelle, yes, this has the ability to become local folk lore by me, i never do anything easy, thats no fun.

Where's Jenny???  Getting ready to travel for Turkey day???

I'm here.  Just trying to get in the training while getting everything ready for holiday travel.  Did some drills at the pool last night, and now my nose is bugging me.  Got in an easy 8 with hill repeats this morning.  Will try and squeeze in a bike/run brick early tomorrow morning before we leave.  I probably won't be online at all after today (well, until Sunday).  My family has requested that I be present in the moment.  Whatever the heck that means

Jeff (jsklarz) - I know you have a cholorine sensitivity, too.  Do you wear a nose clip?  Have you ever tried one?  I'm really getting sick of the drippy nose after swim sessions (sometimes lasting 24 hours or more), but I'm afraid a clip would really annoy me.

EW! Have a good holiday, then.

At least you get an event on TDay.  I am hoping to do a 3.8 mile local Tday run, but uncertain, so afraid to reinure the IT band, although, it feels good right now.  Kudos to Cindy.  Make sure you let her finish ahead of you!!
