I know of at least two people toeing the line this weekend. Are there others? Raise your hands high and tell us about your strategy!!! Pretty excited to see the number of MG'ers racing!! I'll be toeing the line at the Vetfest Half marathon in honor of my WWII father (RIP) again this year. Course is out towards the Baraboo bluffs so crazy hilly, but they have veterans from several of the wars lining up at some of the mile markers to keep us going. Goal is to beat last year, but will be working on keeping myself just below LT based on RPE. Totally blind. I've been told not to go crazy until after I have my stress test next week. Doctor actually told me to keep my HR under 130bpm. Really? Apparently no one wants to see me go into cardiac arrest on the course.
130???? Perhaps it is my current level of conditioning, but I get my heart rate higher than that just looking at the picture of the burger and beer pasted a page or two ago. How can your doctor honestly think you can keep your HR under 130? x2 |

130???? Perhaps it is my current level of conditioning, but I get my heart rate higher than that just looking at the picture of the burger and beer pasted a page or two ago. How can your doctor honestly think you can keep your HR under 130? He is well meaning, but he's at least 60 years old, not an athlete and fascinated that people would do a 30' run test until they almost black out. My EKG was normal, but he doesn't think that's enough evidence of a healthy heart so off to the lab I go for the MAX stress test (at least I'll get a true VO2). He already told me that he MAY not be satisfied even if that comes back normal. Insert head shake and eye roll here. For what it's worth, my Z1 HR is 140ish so there is no way I'll be hanging out at 130 and doing a HM. I agreed not to blow my brains out, but I didn't agree not to blow chow at the finish |

After some significant angst - and thanks SO MUCH to the support of this group, online and off, you've saved my tush AGAIN - I think I'm gonna be fine!! Saw a PT this morning, one that has treated me and all 3 kids in the past, and is also pro MTB racer and multiple BQer. Not quite sure why I didn't think of this sooner (and thanks, Suzy, for the prod). She had some great ideas, pushed, shoved, tweaked and hurt me, and I'm thinking, hoping, praying, it helped. Something about the IS joint and everything it connects to. Assuming I can everything done here (escrow, kid/dog/house instructions, packing, flight changes, car pickups, elder care) or really, even if I DON'T......I'm on a plane (in compression tights, hydrating!) out of San Francisco at 8:15 Friday morning!!!! Jeff's been gone 3 days already, so looking forward to seeing him, and then having lunch with MIGHTYMOM on Saturday! Do a little 26 mile jog on Monday, then catch a flight to the Bahamas Monday night!!! Recovery on the beach, me likey. Weather looks like it's getting yukky (for running in) with highs approaching 80. That's got me a bit concerned, but heck - I can't change it. I'm hoping that Weather.com is experiencing it's usual 25% accuracy and it will really be 60. We'll see! LOVE This group. Even whilst sulking, y'all make me laugh.

My niece moved last summer and started a new school in the fall. This is her senior year so she was a little worried no one would ask her to prom. She was very excited she was asked to prom and it was a creative way. She wanted to answer in a fun way. Her dad (my brother) shot and edited this video to say Yes. A lot of the people in the video are related to me. My brother says when I do an ironman he'll be there with the cameras to document it. He wants me to do IM Canada sometime so he has an excuse to tag along and take video and pictures. Tiana |
