Sounds good girl....especially since I have no time to make dinner tonight. Getting ready to head to the  city square to put on our first movie of the summer...."Day After Tomorrow" 2004 movie about Global Warming. Then tomorrow nite we have a Salsa band playing called Mazacote.

So in short ~ Allyssa, save some of them scrumptious sounding chkn tacos with homemade salsa and start driving now...you could make it in time for the concert tomorrow evening. I will buy Margaritas after it!

dcrunningdiva - 2008-06-05 2:37 AM Uh...I may not be on here for a while. We had a tornado WARNING around 3 p.m. today and now the rain is coming down in buckets again...I probably should get offline!
********************* Be safe and tell us that you are safe later.
Well, it looks like the big stuff is gone. Now it's time to watch my show that I thought was on LAST night...SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! I love this show! BTW, 15 cycling and 1 running mile done today! Check! 1250 yd swim and 5 mile run tomorrow. Hope the funk is gone!

 

 

 

Glad you are ok! I would be so frightened!

Nice brick too. I am tapering. Looks like I'm only swimming and running this week. Coached swim tonight, although I'm 1/2 and 1/2 about just hitting my gym instead. I hate doing drills. It's so boooooring!

I NEED A SWIM COACH!!!! My form totally sucks! Can you give me some advice on where I should look online for some good swim information?

 

You should join USMS! And find a place to swim. Most places have coaches. This is through another Seattle tri group. You pay $20 for the year and then the swim coaches are $5 each Wednesday. It's such a steal. At the most there's only 3 of us in the pool! Right now she's teaching us about pulling through the water and having our strokes in an S shape. Yesterday she counted our strokes. I was 18 strokes. She wants to bring that down to 15. The more I try it the more I noticed the pulling working!

I am truly surprised to be saying this but....there isn't a group near me! I guess DC does their own thing most of the time. I have a Master's Swim class at my gym but the coach is leaving for the summer (figures) and I don't know where else to turn. Guess I'll just have to watch a bunch of videos online or something.

 

Sorry to hear that! Really I am. You checked the USMS site back to front? I mean there are just loads here.  



Well, I didn't check it back to front but I did look in VA and they have a ton in VA - just none close to me in NORTHERN VA. I could potentially look into DC or MD but I can tell you I probably wouldn't go there because it would be about an hour drive (w/traffic).

i LOVE LOVE LOVE to run in the rain!! i feel so refreshed and energized right now!! i just came in, i'm SOAKED (well, i put dry sweats on anyway) and i finally feel ok! i think i've been in tracy's funk, and today i felt GREAT! i think PART of it was the rain, but i finally had enough energy, my right shin felt kinda tight, but smoothed out ok after about 2 miles. my feet got super wet (grass) so toward the end there my feet felt weird, but IT WAS A WONDERFUL RUN!! YAY FOR RUN MOJO!!!

-sending some your way tracy-


So, you are saying I should run in the rain???

I am going to run and swim at the gym.  I recently got on the phone again about kids in the pool.  I'm sick of it. Totally. I mean it's a LAP POOL, there are also TONS of signs telling folks NO ONE UNDER 17 PLEASE.  Grrrr.  I had this issue before at my old gym. This was the reason I joined THIS gym.  It just seems to follow me. Crap.

Yeah it does but I never say anything to the kids. When I go and complain and the front desk of course there are no kids in the pool. Like it's my imagination! Sheesh.  I got fed up and called corporate. I pay for the bloody thing and I don't want my swim interrupted by kids jumping in. There are plenty of other pools around for that.  I suppose I am just a big Scottish grouch. I take this after my Dad. He complains about EVERYTHING! LOL

Luckily; since I am a Clyde I tend to just swim right through them and they almost never say anything. If they do .... I am 6'2" and 240 ..... they leave the lap lanes

FYI: I got in two swim workouts today! Well, if you call the second one an actual workout! My kiddos wanted to go to the pool this afternoon so I took them. I can't do much with a 2-yr old on my arms the whole time but she LOVES putting her hands on my shoulders and then kicking. So, I was doing a modified breast stroke with her on my back for 250 yds. and then the whistle for break blew and I got to swim during "adult swim time" an additional 250 yds. It probably would have been more but every time I came down to the end of the pool where my children were "supposed" to be sitting they weren't really doing so. Oh well, I still got an additional 500 yds in today. That makes for a total of 1750 yds plus 2 miles running with my 9 yr old (see training log).

AND she can even record it as "strength training!"

Or, she COULD record it as strength training -- if she ever manages to get into her log.
