Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! (Page 30)

Lay down and just roll on down

Yes, she knows. 

Let's talk about me now.  I'm tired.  

Let's talk about bob now.  Hi bob, you look lovely today. 

Let's talk about everyone else now, how is everyone else?

The Hills in Florida make Long Island look like the Italian Alps! :) 

I dunno..you're just oozing sarcasm today??

TOLL BRIDGES!!! 

Okay, there's got to be a video on BT about skipping drills.

 Can anyone find one??

Hey Fellows...  12 weeks to IMcDA...  I am getting nervous, specially cuz I haven't spent too much time on the bike.   I decided this week is biking week....       Today I am planning a 1 1/2 hour trainer ride...  

I signed up for another ultra yesterday..    

Elevation gain 13,380 feet

Distance 50 Miler

Check out the course.    This is  the Mount diablo Endurance Run...   This was my first ultra last year and I had a horrible time.   I am going back to the mountain to take my pride back.  

 I have an ironman in 12 weeks and I am squeezing a crazy run in between... what am I thinking huh?

 YOU rock dude!

Luis..... My legs are shaking just from the looks of that run. You are an animal dude!! Get on that bike and start training!!

Carla.... I am with you on the rain stopping! I am dying to get outside on my bike!!

I hope everyone else is doing well!!

I put my Race Report up from my measly little 15K this weekend!  

Our Mentoring thing is dying.. or is it me?

I miss bob stocks. 

Luis you are nuts. Did I tell you that I'm 87% sure I'm dropping out of western states? 

Why are you dropping out of the western states?  

I don't feel like i'm being mentored properly

There was a Biking Challenge in March and teams that did not achieve 100% of their team goal are required to display a Peep Avatar for month of April.  As you can see, my team did not achieve 100% (99%).

Has our mentor abandoned us?? There have been several desperate cries for attention help, and he has yet to respond.

Hey all,

I'm back ...not for a good reason, but none the less I'm in full training mode. I am in the process of having a miscarriage now. So I'm back in the game and am going to try and really gear up for a Sprint Tri May 3rd to keep my mind off of the loss. The Tri is in the small community where I work and I'll just admit..I WANT to WIN! I dont' know if I can win especially because I haven't ran in awhile, but darn it I'm going to try.

Anyone up for looking at my training plan for the next month? I plan on looking through my plan over the weekend and making changes.

I thought it would be good for me to get focused again. I wasn't able to exercise for like the last 10 days and before then I was really being careful with my heartrate.

 The good news is it is 60 here today and I rode outside today! Yippee! Plus..I have two healthy kids so the lost isn't as devasting for someone who doesn't already have a healthy family.

 Theresa

Theresa - So sorry to hear about the miscarriage. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. About your training, I would suggest that you take advantage of the weather and increase your riding outside. Be careful about ramping up your running too fast, it's just too easy to get injured and  set you back a couple weeks. Since you haven't been running I would pass on the 50 min TT that is in your plan. I like the easy running but might throw 4 or 5 30 sec striders (hard, controlled sprints) in to change your pace and work on some speed, 3 to 5 minutes of easy running between to recover. Make sure you are getting a rest day or 2 in to let your body recover.

Group - I am sorry I have been a baaaaaaad mentor lately. It's been a little crazy around our house and I'm trying to get on track with my training. I am going nuts with the cold weather, I have yet to get my bike outside!! I will be a better mentor, I promise. GET OUT THERE AND TRAIN!!!!! There, was that better?

Trix - Glad to hear you made up your mind about western states, you are amazing!!! I don't know how you ultra peeps do it but I am in awe!!! 

Glad you got out T!! I finally got outside on my bike!! I LOVE MY BIKE!!! I took 2 spacers out of the stem and thought I would be sore, It felt great!!! Time to take the last spacer out to get as aggressive as I can on the bike that I have.

I hope everyone's weekend is going well. I have to get ready for my 1/2 Mary in the morning!! 

CONGRATS BOB on your kick A$$ PR!!
