Got my first open water swim in for the year. I love swimming outside. My new GPS watch has some issues. It told me I swam 1.92 miles in 31 minutes. Yeah, that didn't happen.

Got to get in a run after my husband gets up from his Father's Day sleep in. Then I'm on a plane for work which means I'll either kill all my workouts or more likely get to almost nine of them.

Any tips for motivating when on the road?

So I decided to quit being a lazy a$$ and get back to training for the Master of the Mountain race. So I got up this morning and decided I would do a nice easy 9 mile ride to get back into it. Well halfway through my ride, I had a dog run out in front of me and stop and before I could swerve or stop, I ran it over I felt pretty bad, so I went up to the house to let the owners know I ran over their dog. The guy tells me, "Did she get up and run off? Well then you didn't hurt her too bad. She has been run over twice by cars so I don't think your bike hurt her." WTH!

Confession time. I am up to 208. For a 5'6" frame, that's a lot. I am turning over the leaf today. I am going to register for the CDA' triathlon this week and start training for it in earnest tomorrow. My goal is to finish MOP, and get to the starting line at 185. The event is in August.

Weekly goals:
Start OLY plan and do each workout s/b/r 2x (Only swam 1x, lake is too far away to chance it if we go into labor)
Limit poor food and beverage choices after 6PM. worked well 5-7 days. improvement
Lose 3 pounds. (only lost 1.2 pounds, down to 206.8, had an epic bender last night though, or I may have lost another pound or so.)

That dog sounds crazy, or suicidal, or both. Hope your ok.

Greetings all - I've been MIA for the better part of the last 10 days and I apologize for that... My back was hurting me something fierce. I know I fell off my bike 2 weeks ago - but the pain has continued to get worse over that period of time. It got to the point where it hurt to even walk because the act of walking caused my core to contract which pulled on my muscles. Sleeping was tough and the doc wasn't willing to give me a lot of pain meds because he said I could be on the DL for 4-6 weeks which might lead to addiction (the oxy he did give worked so well I can see why he was cautious

So, I missed a 5k yesterday (I walked it instead) and I'm probably going to have to pass on doing the olympic distance at my race at the end of the month and will try to do a sprint instead. But even that is in doubt. It still hurts to swim and run and I've got to think that it would also hurt to bend over to reach the handle bars on my bike.

And that is where the pity party needs to stop.... There is no question that S/B/R is hard but I need to find something to do or else I'm gonna continue to slide backwards. So tomorrow I'm going to try to do some yoga in the morning and go for a walk in the afternoon with the hope that some kind of activity will help me stay out of the cookie jar. I'll also continue to ice it 3x and take the ibuprofen. If anyone else has any ideas - I'd be more than willing to hear them...

I'm gonna post the weekly goal sheet. Let's be sure to support one another!

Good thing your okay. How big of a dog? We've got a few ankle biters in our neighborhood and I actually kicked one out running one day with an extra high heel lift. Popped it right in the jaw while the owners just watched! No effort on their part to call their dog off. However, getting rolled over by a bike is a different story. Too bad the owners weren't concerned. I've often said if a person can't raise a dog they certainly dont need children! Keep safe out there. Good luck with your training!

Just completed my second Sprint (Ashland, MA)!! My overall time was around 10 minutes faster than my target, so I am good with that. The transition from the swim to the bike was brutal!! We had to walk through woods on super muddy trails filled with rocks, huge puddles, roots, etc for almost 1/2 mile... Instead of running, I walked and still slipped a few times.

The bike and run were hilly and had a lot of elevation changes. However, it didn't feel as bad as my first race two weeks ago due to the weather being really nice (low to mid 70's and not super sunny).

I think I am going to take a little time off before my next race (still TBD).

I think today's well earned beers will be:

Maine Beer Company - Lunch

Dogfish Head - Brew

Happy Father's Day everybody.

D-day +4. Wife was up in middle of night with contractions, but not enough to get baby moving. Got in a strength w/o in yard, hoping to go for an easy bike depending on where wifey's at. Ready to go into action.
