first day of Autumn here but not much "mists and mellow fruitfulness" - blazing sunshine but with a cold wind from the Southern Ocean. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Back in the saddle after 3 days at an indoor water park with the family. All had a great time. My 1 yr old daughter (turned 1 last week!!!!!) loved the water swings and slides. My 3 yr old daughter who is really not much of an adventurer discovered some of the bigger slides and nearly wore a groove in them. What a joy to see both of them have soooo much fun! And now, back on night shift starting Thursday. Have a great week everyone! |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thank you, mentor friends! I'm going to try to get the women's course record this time. The stars and planets need to align perfectly and the weather needs to cooperate. I need to shave 45 seconds off my fastest course time to make it happen. Please send fast vibes. It's early in the season so you miss them. In other news.....my February SUCKED!!!! I hope I pull my head out of my butt for the next month. |

It's early in the season so you miss them. In other news.....my February SUCKED!!!! I hope I pull my head out of my butt for the next month. You can get the record - just believe that you can! With that spectacular bike - you are on your way there. Yeah - for many years February was my least favorite month - it always seemed like truly crummy things happened to me during Feb. The good news is - it's the shortest month so it's all behind you now! I actually got to the pool on Tuesday and had a great swim. I had planned on swimming today (Thursday), but now we are being blanketed in snow, the Y is closing for the day so my streak of swimming (1 day) is over. I'm thinking about taking the day off from work tomorrow (Mental Health Day!) and may try to fit the swim in if I can - but Friday is usually my bike and run day. This weekend is the State swim meet for my daughters so I'm going to have to really be motivated to fit the long run in on Saturday before heading to UMaine and the long bike in when we return on Sunday. Thank goodness I've got a little time before the Patriot HIM to get my crap together. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Forgot to mention earlier - I am getting sick. Woke up today with my usual tell tale signs --- inkling of a sore throat, coughing up some nasty stuff, runny nose, general 'blah' feeling. With that in mind, I still have some solid training I want to get done over the next few days. So, what do I do? Just fight through it? Take a couple days to be sure I'm OK? Take each workout as it comes? Thoughts appreciated!! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Whee speed demon bike, slay em!We had 16" of <8% wv powder yesterday, so I'm headed up to Mt Hood again today for some deep powder skiing! I love winter cross training. Have fun out there and I'll be back later with March goals... |

Take each workout as it comes? Thoughts appreciated!! Take it one at a time. I believe I have avoided most of the crud going around the house b/c I sweat it out. Lots of fluids to run whatever it is through you fast. |

Felt fine last night. Today? Just awful.... |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ugh....went home and went to bed. I'm back at work today, but probably could have stayed home, too. No workouts yesterday, and there won't be any today. Not hungry, feel unenergized, and have a really bad runny nose & eyes. Plan on resting until I feel better. chances are I'll take tomorrow off too, and get back at it Sunday. Very disappointing, but getting sick happens. As for my plan, next week was supposed to be a 'recovery' week, but I'm thinking I may just repeat what I should have been doing this week, then jump back on the plan where I should be for week following week. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Mike, wise to back off and let your body recover before training. First day back go easy and modify length of workout just to make sure you are fully recovered. |

Steffi (joblin)is racing Abu Dhabi Tracy (owl girl) is doing a TT with goal of setting women's record Good luck to both of you! +1,000!!! Go, ladies, go!!!! Taking it real easy this weekend. Sunday if it happens will be a shortened run. I'm seriously thinking about punting on the half mary since its 2 weeks away, and I was really hoping to get in some good runs today & Sunday, and they are unlikely to happen. Lets see what happens in the next 10 days. If anything, I bought a t-shirt |

Mike_D - heal up and rest up, and be sure to do a little research about boosting your immune system when endurance training. Getting sick is my biggest enemy in training, way more than injury, and it's part of learning the balance. I've been spread REALLLLLLYYYYYY thin in my face life, so sorry I've been so scarce here, something had to give. I hope in the next couple of weeks that things will settle a bit, and I MAY even be looking at a teaching position for next year! WHOOOOOP!!! As for me, walking program going great, running program not happening past ten days or so. Today is a brand new day! |

Steffi (joblin)is racing Abu Dhabi Tracy (owl girl) is doing a TT with goal of setting women's record Good luck to both of you! Thanks everyone! Just to let you know, the women's record is 29:58. My best time on the course is 30:38. (The men's record is 24:48.) It's 11.6 miles. Unfortunately, a slight headwind on the fast part of the course is anticipated. Blargh. I'm gonna freeze my heiney off, too! Thankfully, no rain in the forecast! Yay for no rain. Cheers! |
