I got my ride in last night. I was feeling guilty for being anti social though. I somewhere to be so I didn't have a lot of time. I go out the door and my neighbor is outside and wanted to talk. It was a choice between talking or riding and riding won out. I hope he didn't think I was being rude. 
Not sure what is on the schedule for today. We're catering a wedding and I'm not sure if I will be able to squeeze something in. The plan calls for some strength training but I won't have time to stop at the gym. I guess I'll be switching things up a little this week.

Its too bad I can't do training when they don't have things for me to do at work. I'm on the front end of a new project and they don't have all the details worked out yet.

yogachic - 2010-08-04 11:36 PM I got my bike commute & lifting session in as planned.  What I didn't plan for was staying extra long after my tri club meeting and being suckered into persuaded to do a marathon in Feb instead of a half, and a 100-mile trail run in July (which I will probably still back out of, or "just" do the 50k).



Just a 50K?!?
I'm gonna go do my 3 miles and pout!  If i run backwards does it count double?


I know!  I just did my first marathon this year, and I was thinking that's long enough... Now I'm being peer pressured to go longer?!  Sheesh!

Yeah I don't know what it is but there seems to be something that drives us to go farther once we accomplish something. I always wanted to do a tri but never an Ironman. Now I find myself wanting to do an ironman too. I also have the Wasatch 100 on my bucket list now. Makes me wonder what's next. 


It's SICK, I tell you!

I'm seriously considering the 50-miler, and am already imagining the world of hurt I will be in after!

I've been feeling guilty for being antisocial, too!  Especially since I have to do my marathon training runs at 6:30am on Saturdays, I always feel a bit antisocial going home early on Fridays or missing events because they start too late.  It seems like the friends I see the most are the ones I work out with!

I'm the same way.  I don't go out on Fridays or most Saturdays.  I'm just too tired and I have to get up early to train the next day.

Got in almost 3 miles on the treadmill.  Speed workout.  It sucked, but I was able to run fast for longer than I thought I could.

I ran 5 miles today.  That means I'm 4/4 so far on workouts this month.

Blake, how you doing?


Yawn... pretty sure I'm winning right now. Muahahaha!

Short relaxing swim then off to check to see if the mice visited our house, again-mice in attic, 2nd floor, ants on main and a mole or 2 in the basement...thankfully Ehrlich is coming today!  We live in an old house right next to a farm field.  We may just get a stupid cat to help if Ehrlich, traps and sonic emitters don't help...

50K, 100K?  I wish my knee could handle that...6k on Sunday Oly will be long enough for it...though I am doing a half-mary...how far could away could a mary or longer be?  Of course I read about someone on here doing the Canadian Death Race- that sounded awesomely insane!

6/6 with the swim!

Well, at least I am not last.  I have a 5K race tomorrow, and who knows what else I'll do.  I'll be caught up by the 15th.  At least I should be.

Feeling a little tired today. I helped my wife cater another wedding last night and didn't get to bed until late. Now I'm sitting here at work waiting for the next project to come to life. Not quite lunch time yet so its not time to go work out. This is going to be a long day.

At least I'm slacking the least of the slackers!  This weekend will put me right on target.  Actually, according to my own workout schedule, I'm right on target!  I haven't missed a single scheduled workout!

Uh yeah, I've totally been a slacker this week! 

Tues - skipped my swim & run to help a friend pack for China (while eating pizza and drinking wine & champagne... To be fair, she couldn't bring the wine w/her to China so we were helping her!
Thurs - skipped my run & yoga class to help a friend celebrate her birthday (by eating pizza and drinking beer)
Friday - will skip any attempt to make up my workouts to go to 1 if not 2 going away parties.  These may or may not involve pizza and alcohol. 

Hopefully tomorrow I can make up for my slackerish ways... I have a 10-mile run with my marathon training group, then am hoping to join my tri club friends in an OWS.

I'm contemplating doing an open water swim race in September because I haven't been motivated at ALL to get into the water since my race!  The thing is, it's a 2.5k or a 5k, wetsuit or no wetsuit... Most people do the 5k no wetsuit, but that might be too hardcore for me!  So I don't know whether I should aim for the full thing, or do the short course?  Or maybe go the distance but wear my wetsuit?  Ahhh, decisions!!

I knew I had been slacking so far this month, but those rankings definitely drive the point home.

Tomorrow I'm lifting in the afternoon and will probably go for a run.  Sunday has a bike ride scheduled.
