recover, regroup, refocus.

have a 1/2 MARY to start training for starting the end of the month.

'09-'10 BETTER STRONGER FASTER.
stacieb

There you go!  That is exactly what you need to do.  Enjoy some down time at HHI with the family.  Take a break from the structured training and then focus on your half when you get back.  Winter is a great time to build a better base for the 2010 season.  You had a fantastic first tri season and I'm sure you will see vast improvements next season!

I couldn't have said it better...coming from another in the same exact boat!!
I'm still working out but I have another week of just kind of playing it by ear before I start up my 1/2 mary training...it's kind of funny how our first tri season has almost mirrored each other, Stacie!!


FUNNY.  MICHELE.

i was thinking the same thing...

considering doin' a 1/2 IM next May/June by chance?

that would be weird if you were. 

stacieb

NOOOOOOO Stacie???  I really want to do my first HIM here in HI and since we will be leaving in Apr 2011 I am looking at one in June!  I just don't think I can get my swimming up to par so it's doubtful but it is in the back of my mind!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Erica!!!  I really am toying with the idea...

SHUT UP?!!!  (not in a shut your mouth kinda of way, just in a OMG that is SO freaky kinda of way)

that is soooooo FLIPPIN' (using Erica's word) FREAKY!!!!

we ARE on some paralell journey or something.

weird.  like im hearing the theme from watcha call it - TWILIGHT ZONE - doo-do-doo-do, going off in my brain right now WEIRD.

though.....

im a bit jealous.  NO MASSIVELY JEALOUS that you'll be able to do yours CUZ YOU KNOW YOU WANNA, AND YOU KNOW YOU WILL, in HI.

and i'm stuck here in the northeast. pllllfffft.  :P

but, manohpete wouldnt that be schweet if we were doing our first 1/2 IM (it would be your first, unless i missed something, sorry if i did....) 'TOGETHER'

the thought of doing one is ALREADY keeping me up at night.

so i get ya on the its in the back of your mind thing.

but totally schweet if our paths take us in that similiar direction.

woo hoo for you.  wee hee for me!  yay US!
stacieb

No you're right...it would be my first one also.  This whole thing is just crazy (but like YOU said, in a weird, twighlight zone sorta way!!)

JEFF. 

you look hungry.

i am too.

alrighty.

if were all starving

what IS for lunch?

i still go leftover pizza in my fridge.

want some??

and i just polished off a Java Chip Frappuccino Light w Peppermint syrup.

does that count as lunch?

nah.  im really off on 'staying on plan' today.

and i havent even gotten my short run in yet.
stacieb

I love leftover cold pizza.  Nothing better. We almost had pizza for lunch but opted to just eat stuff here.  I went with a salad, bagel and soft pretzel.  I was famished! 

I'll take your java chip frappuccino anyday!  Yum.

I'm with you on the COLD pizza thing!  Warmed up left over pizza is just nasty!!

ebshot - 2009-08-11 2:08 PM All that talk of pizza earlier made us get pizza for dinner.  I ate way more than I should have.  I feel icky now.  I'll push extra hard on my run in the morning. 

Man, speaking of feeling icky...I have been eating like total crap this past week and I sure am paying for it.  See, evilIwilleatwhateverIwant Michelle has taken over and now the sweet innocent ME is paying for it!  I am trying my dangdest to get back on track (starting NOW) but boy is it hard!!

ebshot - 2009-08-11 2:09 PM A sub 2 hour half mary, huh, Stacie?  Go you!    I am aiming for a pr if I do mine.  I would really like a 2:15 but think 2:20 would be realistic if I get my training pulled together.  I need to look and see if there is another half a bit later in the fall.  I'd love to come out and do your's Stacie but I bet Bry won't let me.  He's a party pooper!  Something about buying a house and all.

I'm assuming that doing the Nov 8th 1/2 mary with me is out of the question then?!

MT. ALPACA had NOTHING on me.

i guess mentally i had conjured up this HUMONGOUS hill that by the time we got there, i thought, gee, THIS is Mt. Alpaca.

it was a burner dont get me wrong

and it came EARLY in the ride the so that helped.

but suffice is to say, there was NO need to swipe an Alpaca to hitch him to my bike to pull me up the hill.

i climbed just fine on my own thank you very much.
