Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) (Page 25)

He's a cute little devil.  Glad he's getting back to his kitty self. Just sing "Soft kitty, warm kitty. Little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty. Purr, purr, purr." to him before bed...he'll be better in no time.

Managed to swim 250 meters today!  Decided to swim more and work on technique (I suck!) instead of walking for 20 minutes so the last 100 meters or so was slow and I stopped a lot to reset myself.  It's slowly coming together.

Speaking of cyclist getting hit by cars I had a side mirror slammed into my shoulder one day a few years back despite being in a bike lane!  I am not quite sure how I didn't wreck but it sure scare the crap out of me!  Shoulder was sore for a few days afterwards.  I have also had someone open their door right as I am riding by and managed to squeak by without harm, thank god for good reflexes!...

I am having a mega difficult time getting my 310XT to sync with Garmin Express.  Anyone having any similar issues?

Everyone is http://connect.garmin.com/en-US/status

I didn't have any problem this morning.The site did have the "we're having issues" warning though.

It's been intermittent for me all week.  Their executives must be having a cow.  CES week is not the time to have these issues.

Just requested in.  I'm MattCycles.

I thought you were Honeybadger?  So confusing

Hope all the Manatees are keeping warm today (except Stacey who we know is roasting)!  It was in the 30*s in Orlando this morning and with wind chill upper 20*s.  It took me forever to get bundled up for my run!

Welp, first night back on the track last night. It has felt like an eternity since my marathon but in reality it has only been a month. I felt a heck of a lot better than I thought I would but I am definitely going to ease in a little. I made a deal with myself that I would spend Jan doing fun stuff. Racing casually and enjoying winter activities. So, even next weeks trail race will be through the "fun" lens. 

Our team's "intro" workout last night was 3 x 2 miles a little (or a lot) slower than HM pace. Or as my coach calls it, "casual winter half marathon pace" lol. 

He only had me do 2 reps since I haven't done any kind of real quality in 4 weeks. 

In other fun news, I have been doing a little more of the logistics planning for the PCT run at the end of the summer. How beautiful is this going to be:

A really cool thing is that above pictured is Glacier Peak is the 5th tallest in the state but it's quite remote so it's not summited as regularly as the others are. So it's going to be really great to be so up close and personal with it. Not gonna lie, was briefly entertaining a mid run summit but 105 miles running is probably enough.
