R U Ready???

aakkkkkkk! Thanks for that - didn't know they were up! In LA with Tyler, they casted him today. Then they re-xrayed him and the bones shifted. It's a nasty fracturebwith a long name i need to look up. They did a cat scan tonight. Tomorrow we meet with a zdifferent surgeon. He's a tough kid, but he's hurting. Thanks for all of the well wishes and prayers!

Linda-best wishes for Tyler...I'm sure he's glad to have you there for him....You are a terrific mom, #769! 

With the Minnow out of town on Business, I have been asked to fill some big shoes (in all actuality they are pretty little shoes) and humbly present the famous MG Wednesday question: 

Who's got some racing on the Calendar for the weekend?  We don't care if you are running, biking, swimming, cross-country skiing, racing Cougar's up a mountain, or some combination of something I missed ......  WE WANT DETAILS!!!!

For those not racing, Given one workout, what time of day do you prefer to train and why?  

I love training in the early mornings! The process energizes & relaxes me, and makes me greatful every day that I "can"!!

No racing for me...  I am liking noon-time workouts lately....  it breaks up the day real nice and I am struggling to get up early in the mornings...

No racing here.  Headed to Dallas Friday for a board meeting.  Hope to get a couple of runs in there.

I like lunch time.  Gets me out of the office, keeps me from going out to eat, and just fits a lot better in my schedule then anything else.  For longer training sessions on the weekend, I like to get them done early so I don't loose too my QT with the family.

Good luck racers!

Still alive.

 Lurking.

Trying to get motivated.

No racing. Family stuff -- soccer, pumpkin-carving, etc.

Fave time to work out is in the morning. During the week, I enjoy training first thing after the kids are off to school. On weekends I like to work out after waking up with no alarm and relaxing with at least one cup of coffee.

I totally agree with the coffee first!

No racing...weekend big 5-0 party for a good friend. 

Morning workouts work best for me.  Seem to do better energy-wise.

Swimming after work when I have to do two workouts/day has gotten much easier...just have to watch what I eat that day.

Trevor-I hear you on that motivation thing.  Time to sign up for a race or start planning next year's season and goals is always helpful. 

^^^ X2

Still trying to get the hang of my new work schedule and more business travel.  I see lots of hotel treadmills in my future...

Been doing a lot of lurking... there's always so much going on around here, it's hard to keep up!

@ Linda - hope your son heals up without much trouble, Godsped on his recovery!

No racing for me this weekend but I did register for a Half Mary in Norfolk, VA on 13 Nov.   The Norfolk Freedom Half Marathon.    I seem to be most focused on running right now...

edit:  Training times:  Early morning for runs and afternoons/early evenings for rides - I still don't like riding in the dark.

Fall is in full swing... closed our pool up last weekend and got the hot tub running

Me too, minus the lurking part. 

I need some sort of incentive program, other than my pants being tighter because that doesn't seem to be motivation enough.

Ditto.   Not complaining about a new job by any means, but with the long hours, kids lives, husband training, and lack of daylight it is very easy to do a whole lot of nothing. 

Hope everyone is doing well.   Not feeling very motivated to work at this 4 oclock hour so I'll catch up on some BT posting.  Very productive use of time.

me too. 

Braggin' Time:

I have THE BEST wife... two long runs in a row of complaining about my ankles and shins starting to get sore and she read my mind and ordered me some fresh new shoes.  She tells me this after I mention going to the running store tonight for a new pair - spoiled her surprise!  HA!!

Been married 19 years (anniversary was last Monday) -- guess we gone full telepathic!

Hi Peeps!

I'm back home, but boy am I a mess.  For the second time in a month, I am SICK. At first I thought maybe being back in the pool and allergies was causing me issues, but two days ago, I started hacking, ratthling and now have almost no voice (some people in our house think that's a blessing!).  Certainly not nearly as debilitating as what Linda is going through with her son, but I'm irked!  Heading to the doctor tomorrow.

To answer Dineen's question, I always prefer first thing in the morning workouts, but I will say I've gained a little flexibility on that front and like it.  During the season and lately, I haven't been able to get them in right away and I am finding that's ok, even harder efforts.   What I can say with certainty is I could not hold workouts until nighttime like Kim and some of the rest of you.  Zero motivation.

I will also say I'm enjoying working out a whole lot less than during the season.  With no major Spring races on my calendar I don't see a huge ramp up anytime soon like when the group did Lonestar or REV3.  So far so good with it.

Nice!

DJ,

Congrats!  Hope you keep popping in on the mg.  Every time we hear from you, you've done some amazing and interesting thing!!

Prefer, or do out of necessity??  I would love to be able to fit in a lunchtime workout, but it's not an option during the school year.  So, I usually workout at 5am and again in the evenings when I'm doing doubles.  I like the fact that nothing EVER interferes with my morning workouts (except me), and they leave me feeling very relaxed and full of energy for most of the day. 

Oh, my long fast walk last weekend left me with a toenail that's coming off.  BIG toenail!!  Ouch.  It's gonna be ugly

WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF SLACKERS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are we gonna do with all of these unmotivated people??  For realz??!! C'mon, folks... the holidays are just around the corner and those pants aren't gonna get any looser!! Starting right about now it's one sweet thing after another, one more party, one more dinner... Time to get moving because it's a whole lot easier to stay ahead of the slow creep than it is to lose the weight later!!

OK, that's all I got.

No racing for me this weekend.  Just a super long run.  Should be my longest to date.

I'm definitely a morning girl.  I'm always beat when I get home form work then it's full speed ahead to kid stuff and household chores so squeezing in a workout is rough.  So tonight is going to such running in the rain in the dark.  Fun!!  Fun!!

BTW - you northwest folks can have your crappy rain back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not unmotivated just nothing here until my November HM. 

No racing for me this weekend, but I'm hoping to get out for at least a 15km run on Sat.  I haven't done anything long since my HIM mid-Sept and I have a HM next weekend.

 Running and cycling I like to do starting at about 10am.  Swimming, I prefer 6pm.
