Mother Truckers Team Thread - Nov USMC Challenge (Page 23)

Yay!! Awesome, you met your goal while not feeling 100%!

I rode my BLUE outside today.  I've been in for 40 min and can almost feel my toes

TOPPAGE

I usually bail out and ride thedrainer when it's cold.  BUT, I need to get used to my BLUE so I can figure out what needs tweaked for a fit--plus I want to be used to handling her in real ride situations since a trainer just doesn't give that.

I told my husband that I wanted to ride her today and he laughed cause he knew I'd go out on her if it was -40 today.

Don't pressure yourself for a time goal for the first marathon.  The goal is FINISHING.  Pay attention to the course though.  One of my friends from swm did the full mary last weekend for his first.  Didn't pay attention to the fact that the first 8 miles are flat/fast so about mile 18 he blew up.  He finished, just not at his goal pace.

I can only imagine how those toes must feel... I didn't feel mine for the first 10 minutes of the race, but on the bike, they just never defrost again.

You'll warm up once you get running

Glad you were able to get out and race!  And coming in under goal too!  Get some rest.  You'll beat that cold into submission sooner or later     

Maybe if I had a new bike I could convince myself to ride in the cold too That's some dedication.  Now warm those toes up! 

One day at a time is a great approach.  Those long training runs later in the plan won't seem as daunting after you have been building your base up for several months.

Enjoy your 40 degree run. I just glanced out my window and we have a layer of white stuff  

ON my way to the gym for workout #6 this week!

GO Me!

Morning team

Great job everyone on getting the workout done, we just had an amazing week. I can't wait to see the result.

Now for the last week, lets put everything we have and log workouts like mad, this is a 8 days week which is a great oppurtinity to log 6.

Go Mother  Truckers Go!!

Happy Sunday Team,

We had a great workout week. But ABrady42 could use some inspires to log his workouts - so pls everybody, stop by his blog!

Was planning a rest day today, in order to finally get over the cold. But went out for a walk and did my pushups. The day here is just too lovely not to be outside at least for a little bit.

Next week I'll be off and for tonight I am hoping BF is taking me out to the Mexican, for whatever reason, I am craving fish tacos all day already.

Morning team

Core workout done for the morning, and master swimmers tonight. 

Have a great day.

Planning to go for a walk tonight when I get home from work.

I can start running tomorrow with permission and instructions to take it slow...I know it is going to be hard, but at least now I can start working back to where I was 2 weeks ago.

Hi Mother Trucker,

The Race Report is up.

Tonight on tab is a spinning class and some Yoga.

heading out for a massage this morning at 11 (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) then i'll probably get on the wii fit this afternoon. it's a cheeez workout, but it's better than nothing, and since i'l lbe stuck in town, it'll have to do.

mostly just the massage though.

That's great news!  glad the recovery is going well.  Enjoy your run!
