SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 318)

kt65 - 2009-10-27 10:07 AM Good morning everyone.
Chris, it sounds like your batteries are recharged and your mind and body are ready to go.  
Tracy, the power tap sounds like a great training tool, will you both get one???

I had a good running weekend...I actually pr'ed my half marathon time on my sunday long run!  I have my alert to drink water every 15 minutes and at 1:45, I looked down and I was at 13.11 miles!  The sad part is that I lost my belly button piercing, I think because of my annoying fuel belt.  I have that thing so tight, and still it starts to twist and I have to constantly re-position it!  It was my favorite piercing, so that is a bummer.  I guess I will wait until after the marathon to put a new one in.  
This coming weekend is my first 20 miler.  Yikes!  

Have a good week, all!

tahrens - 2009-10-27 6:46 AM Hi Chris,  glad to hear you are ready to get back in the saddle.  I made the mistake of showing Jorge's winter plan to my husband and now he wants a power tap so he can follow it.  But to be honest he wants a power tap and has found a million reasons why he needs one. 

He and my daughter are building a bike together - this is going to be interesting.  He found the frame with a few parts included on e-Bay and now the interesting part comes in.  Last night he found a pair of $400 HED Jet 50 race wheels and was trying to convience me that we needed to buy these for my TT bike, then move the wheels from my TT to my road bike and give my daughter my wheels from my road bike.  I love the logic of men!

JHagerman - 2009-10-27 11:25 AM So speaking of piercings and what not, who here is pierced and tatted up?

Me - up.  Tatt's R upper arm wrap and left forarm - pierced ears and tongue.

Do they call you "pincushion" at work???  That's alot of needles man.

i hate to admit it, when i was younger I had 2 piercings in one ear. They've grown over since. But, no tat's. If I ever get to the IM point, I would totally get the IM tat though.

tahrens - 2009-10-27 1:53 PM Multiple piercing on the ears but don't wear more than 2 per ear now - (it was an '80s thing you know) and one tatoo.  I always thought the TINY gold ball in the nose (think India styles) was cool, but how do you pick you nose with that in?

Or blow a snot rocket...

TrevorC - 2009-10-27 10:23 AM

Oh no Kim. It is my favorite piercing as well!!! But it is a useless post without a picture....

SSMinnow - 2009-10-27 4:29 PM I think I must be the straightest laced girl in the group (except for maybe the thong).  I have single piercings in my ear and nothing else.  The thought to do more never even crossed my mind....of course I am married to the most conservative guy on the planet.

Had my physical today and I have the distinction of having the highest HDL in their database.....117, up 12 points from my check up 4 years ago.   That's the good stuff....I'm going live forever.

dalessit - 2009-10-27 1:02 PM I had one ear pierced when I was in college.  It lasted about 2 weeks.

SSMinnow - 2009-10-27 3:48 PM Serious question....who does races just for fun with NO expectations other than to get out there and kick up your heels?

I have been lamenting about two upcoming races.  I wasn't expecting a PR in the half marathon, but was planning one for the 10K which is almost an annual event for me.  I had given myself from the HIM to mid November to gain more speed, but given my recent ITB issues, I haven't been able to do any speedwork and been running very little. The half may very well be in jeopordy anyway if the leg doesn't heal up in two weeks, but someone tell me how you go out and just have fun in a race you have PR'ed every year you've done it.
