Expert 1027 | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Finally getting to posting the RR I am shocked at how crazy life has been, but still manage to find time to get my workouts in, my wife had a super solid race, she was 6/14 and only 3 minutes from 3rd place, so it lit her fire a little bit as she is getting faster all around. I will respond to the bike patrol thing a bit later tonight, running to a meeting for our mission trip. |

Extreme Veteran 488 Lewis Center, Ohio | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Did the 2.5 mile trail run today and beat my time by 4 minutes. I went from a 32:07 2.5 mile run to a 28:10 tonight. I was flying (well my version). The 2 hills kicked my butt like always but I only had to stop for a second. What is crazy is I swam first lol before I went to run. |

Do you think they should change the speed limit on the roads for cars at different times of the day? I'm just sayin..... I agree with you, but no exceptions I suppose. While I think the cops might be better served watching crazy drivers, I don't disagree with them monitoring the speed on the trail. I actually stopped riding trails in favor of the road because I was always over the limit and frequently there were families with kids stopped in the middle. Just not safe for them or me. If we want drivers to live by the rules of the road, we need to live by them too. Just my two cents. After two hours and many saddles, I settled on one for the weekend. I left it until the very end because it looked so weird and I thought it would never be comfortable. It's totally built for man parts, but seems to work well for me, at least on the trainer in both aero and upright positions. With two long rides this weekend, I hope it isn't a total bust. |

Extreme Veteran 488 Lewis Center, Ohio | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! tahrens - 2010-08-16 2:11 PM Kyla, I understand your complaint. It does seem extremely unfair that they are speed gunning cyclist when they are riding OFF THE ROAD, yet cyclist receive so little support when riding on the road. I'm sure we've all been screamed at countless times by angry drivers to get off the road. Guess we should all stay inside on our trainers and at spin class. Yeah the road scares the <blank> out of me still. On my last ride in teh country to do some good hills a big F250 diesel sitting on at least 35 inch tires was angry I was riding and got about an inch from me, put his exhaust (which was right in my face) near me and then floored it filling my lungs with black smoke. I would have said something but from the looks of them I would have ended up in a shack or the woods reliving deliverance. After that I had 2 or 3 people yell at me and tell me there was a bike path up the road that I should ride on as the roads are for cars. |

Master 1632 Almost Canada, WA | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Steve ~ ADORABLE!! Soooo many people told me to enjoy "this time" (when Sammi was born) cuz they grow up so very fast. Now she is 2 1/2 and I can't even begin to tell you how fast the time has passed by. I swear there are days I wake up and look at her and think she's had a growth spurt over night!! Even though i've been quiet i've been lurking...I feel myself slipping into a funk and am desperately trying to talk myself out of it!! |

Elite 3072 san francisco | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Has anyone upgraded to the newer Garmin HR strap? Is it more comfortable? I had a glorious month off with no HR strap and putting it on yesterday, it was extremely annoying and started to chafe again at the bottom of the hard plastic part. Should I invest in the newer strap? |

Should I invest in the newer strap? I have the new "premium" strap, and it is night and day different. After a little bit I forget it is even there, much less bulky and rigid, so it just conforms to your body and feels much more natural. |

Expert 1027 | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! My wife and I went in today to get our shots for our trip in November, walked out feeling violated! A string of shots including Hepatitis A, Yellow Fever, Polio Booster, and something else I forgot, plus I have to go back in for my tetanus booster at some point. Whew, arm is quite sore today, now to hope I do not get any side effects from them in the next couple weeks, one was said to take around 8-10 days before headaches etc could set in from it. |

Kim, do you use your HR monitor with the strap-hook-things or do you just slide it under a jogbra? I do the latter, but with looser-fitting bra tops it often doesn't register properly. Fortunately I know my HR by feel pretty well, but that's still frustrating. Is this newer one designed such that you could slide it under a bra w/o having the strap go around your back? Or does the softer strap mean you do need to hook it all around? (Am I making sense here?) |

Not sure about the answer to your question. Here's a pic http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Premium-heart-monitor-strap/dp/B0029M3NSS It isn't the strap that bugs me, it is that big plastic thing all the way across my chest!!! Thanks, Jeff, I may get this one...will have to see if I can find a good deal!  |

Master 2501 | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! And since I won't be here for Suzy's "Who's Racing This Weekend" query... let me just say that I am racing on a jet plane to Maui with my husband tomorrow at o'dark thirty!! We put the kids on a plane to Reno, NV today, where they were greeted by my parents and headed off to their cabin in Truckee, CA (Lake Tahoe). Their cousin (sister's son) arrives at the grandparents tomorrow (it's the 3rd Annual Grandparents Camp -- gotta love it!), and sis and her hubs are off to Maui as well. My hubs and I plan to dive, dive, and dive some more. Then we'll eat fish tacos for lunch and hang out with my sis/b-i-l and go out for fancy dinners with fru-fru drinks. Taking the laptop (for the DVD player!), so won't be totally disconnected. Plan to run while I'm there and get to have the joy of doing a 17-mile run in the Hawaii heat. I will pretend I'm 9 miles into my Kona IM run, right?! Ha ha. Gonna try to do a night dive the evening of the long run, so I can run in the morning but not sacrifice a day of diving. Where there's a will, there's a way to make it all happen, right?! Have a great week and weekend, y'all! Happy training, happier racing, and never stop smiling!!  |
