I know of at least one MG'er taking on a double header!! Give us the scoop on your racing plans! And if you're not racing, have you solidified those 2012 goals yet? Share one or all of them to get the rest of us inspired! Not racing, but doing a 5mi. Poker Run on Sunday. It's a prediction trail run with the local running club. Haven't done this before, but looking forward to it. Best part is it's only a $3 donation and they have hot chocolate. I'm struggling with my 2012 goals. I was all pumped up about doing my first HIM, but now I'm wavering big time. Just the thought of it makes my stomach churn. The only one that fits my schedule would be early in July, and I just don't know if I would be ready. My main goal over the winter has been to improve my run and I think I might keep this focus over the summer too. I don't want to be stupid and kill myself trying to focus on too many things all at the same time. My highlight of the summer is going to be pacing a runner at the Leadville Trail 100 and I really want to focus my extra energies on trail running and lengthening out the distances. I figure if I'm patient and keep that goal in mind, it will benefit me in all of my triathlons next summer and in the future. There, it's decided. Going to do Sprints and Olys and focus on improving my run. Nice, Jayne, don't you love when you work things out aloud (or at least on the internet!) and come to a conclusion that is final!? Love your focus and keep up the good work, that HIM will be there when you want it! Yep, sometimes you just have to put it in print to convince yourself. Patience is not one of my strengths, but I'm working on it :-) Good luck at your race/s. Will we be able to track you?? |

Going to do Sprints and Olys and focus on improving my run. My thoughts exactly; although I was never even tempted by a HIM this year. My "A" races will be an Oly and a HM, and my training focus is still heavily run based (4-5x/wk). A solid run base from the past few months has made swimming and biking seem easier in my first couple of workouts this year. I'm sure the twenty pounds I've lost aren't hurting either.

I guess that's me, according to Suzy's article from the other day, I not only chose a January marathon, I chose to do a half marathon the day before it! Geesh. Oh well, never one to follow conventional wisdom...I am all about having fun at both races as long as my silly foot holds up...Bringing my camera with me...will also be wearing my red shorts that Kathy put big yellow buttons on so I can run in costume complete with black top and Mickey Ears. We are flying out on a red eye tomorrow and will arrive in the ATL at the crack of dawn on Friday morning for our connecting flight. Will Paul's best friend (not nice calling either of the boys fat, Suzy!) be around??? And since I am "racing", I will wait until next week to work on those 2012 goals. I don't think the Christmas decorations are going to come down before we leave...arrrrgh! Mine are still up as well ... at least the ones that haven't blown down yet. My yard looks like a Christmas tornado hit it after all the wind we've had the last few days. Good luck this weekend, Goofy!!! Wish you were staying longer in the ATL.

It took me a minute and then I LMAO! Actually Paul has worked out three times since New Years Eve so I am secretly thrilled at his progress. I know Fatty is secretly biking and swimming too Twin, have an absolutely fabulous time. I love the fact you will wear that outfit for Kat and can't wait to see multiple photos on FB!!! Take care of the foot at all costs though! Fatty, Doug, Linda, Julia(?)--I checked Paul's board schedules and there are NO meetings. I am putting the pressure on so that both of us can cheer the IM'ers on the entire day (and night for Fatty!!!). |

Elite 3395 Raleigh | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING Jatne: Waiting to do the HIM next year is a good idea. This is my 4th season and I am going to do my first full IM at the end of it. The first year was sprints and one olympic. 2nd year was the sprints, 2 olympics and 1 half. 3rd year was mostly the same. So here we are. We are not all the same. we have different strengths and weaknesses and we develop at different rates. It takes time to build the base needed to do the longer distances and a lot of the base is built doind long slow distance. It takes time. Doing the HIM next year gives you that time, You made a wise choice. What I do , or anyone else does this year should not influence anyone else here. Some MG peeps are doing ultras. I will never do that. Looking at logs from last year I cannot imagine running 2800 miles in a year. Suzy, I really hope Paul goes to Florida too. I look forward to meeting both of you. Is there anyway we can get others from the MG to come on down for the party?

I should think we might be able to put some pressure on Chris, George, Tracy, Tony and Sam......all East Coasters! or anyone considering doing IM FL in '13! Hands? I am going down strictly for the fun of it all. It'll be the first time I will be with the MG when I am not a nervous wreck over the swim! |

Master 2501 | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING I am very late to all of the parties, which is unlike me as I have issues with being disgustingly on time. But it's good for me to practice being late!! So here are my totals:
Hits and misses? Hits: IM PR, still happily married, love my kids, roof over my head, live a wonderful and blessed life in an awesome part of the country. Misses: Hamstring tear on April 8, but I was doing what I love (running with son and dog on trails), and, well, $3!* happens! 2012 goals? Just keep having fun, baby. Maintain balance. Train with friends. Keep it real. Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile... | |

Expert 653 Henderson, NV | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING Serious question for the group: So I was hit with a nasty cold that ended up turning to pneumonia. I have been down for the count since Tuesday of last week. I think I am a day or two away from being able to get back out there (also 5 lbs lighter). So what are your thoughts about the Marathon I have been training for February 4th? My last week's mileage was 50. My 2 peak weeks start next week (53,60) with a 2 week taper. So option 1) jump back in see how it goes. 2) run but scale back mileage and goal time. 3) scrap it and get ready for ironman training. CdA training plan starts the week after. |

| Subject: RE: SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING Good for you, Jayne. Take your time and do what's right for you. I'm also sticking with shorter races this year. I did 2 HIMs last year, and I liked the races but found the training stressful. Not why I'm doing this. My goals this season are to get faster at the Oly distance and do lots of trail running. I hope I can make it to Florida as a volunteer/spectator, but it will depend on Jeff's travel schedule and how much I drive him crazy with my own races this season. Good luck Kim at Goofy! I can't wait to see the pictures with your M-I-C-K-E-Y hat and shining smile! |

Share one or all of them to get the rest of us inspired! No racing for me until Mid Feb.... So Goals: Like Jayne, I have decided to skip any tri's greater than an OLY; and maybe only one of those late in the summer but we shall see. I have a bunch of runs scheduled on the calendar already but not much else... What was that mystery ingredient Kyla mentioned? Balance?
Edit: add #5) Find, make, buy or whatever it takes to get some BALANCE!! |

Had a great 1st 8 months of training in 2011!! After the end of August I kicked my feet up and put on some lbs!!! 2012 training update: Touching up baseboards tonight, and the carpets comes on Tuesday. Throw some furniture down there next week ...And then can you spell D-O-N-E.

I know of at least one MG'er taking on a double header!! Give us the scoop on your racing plans! And if you're not racing, have you solidified those 2012 goals yet? Share one or all of them to get the rest of us inspired! GOOFY! I guess that's me, according to Suzy's article from the other day, I not only chose a January marathon, I chose to do a half marathon the day before it! Geesh. Oh well, never one to follow conventional wisdom...I am all about having fun at both races as long as my silly foot holds up...Bringing my camera with me...will also be wearing my red shorts that Kathy put big yellow buttons on so I can run in costume complete with black top and Mickey Ears. We are flying out on a red eye tomorrow and will arrive in the ATL at the crack of dawn on Friday morning for our connecting flight. Will Paul's best friend (not nice calling either of the boys fat, Suzy!) be around??? And since I am "racing", I will wait until next week to work on those 2012 goals. I don't think the Christmas decorations are going to come down before we leave...arrrrgh!
The mere idea of this 1.5 MARATHON ranks right up there with the ultra girls - you all amaze me. WE NEED PICS!!! Rock it, Kim!! |

I look forward to meeting both of you. Is there anyway we can get others from the MG to come on down for the party? he's going. remind me to tell you about how good suzy is at making reservations and communicating dates to people in her house. and about the the balcony.
but what i want to know is is mrs dougrob and crew going to make it? they better. We are working on the details for that. We are first working on a Spring break trip to SF as a family. Maybe Kim can give us the low down on what we should do there. I have my ideas already, but the local word is more than welcome. |

Master 2621 Almaden Valley, San Jose, California | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING cbarnes1 - 2012-01-04 2:42 PM Serious question for the group: So I was hit with a nasty cold that ended up turning to pneumonia. I have been down for the count since Tuesday of last week. I think I am a day or two away from being able to get back out there (also 5 lbs lighter). So what are your thoughts about the Marathon I have been training for February 4th? My last week's mileage was 50. My 2 peak weeks start next week (53,60) with a 2 week taper. So option 1) jump back in see how it goes. 2) run but scale back mileage and goal time. 3) scrap it and get ready for ironman training. CdA training plan starts the week after. My vote would be for #2......but why lose the goal time? Scale back your mileage based on how you FEEL....lung issues are not worth messing with - ever. You may be surprised at what a long taper does for you. As many wise people on this MG have told me - the hay is the barn. Make your next runs based on PRE - and don't overdo it. Get lots of rest, eat healthy, finish your meds. If your air is as crappy as ours right now, use a treadmill. |
