Sesh's Group - FULL! (Page 32)

Hey guys, it has been a while (I think a month).  I will try to catch you up.  I was pretty sick again for abotu 2-3 weeks and could not run or swim.  A nasty chest cold has kept me down most of the year.  However, the past couple of weeks I have started to get back in the gym again with some minor setbacks (like showing up for a swim at 5:15am to find the pool closed).

 I have tried to catch up on all the postings and will do my best to keep up.  Unfortunately, the 100 pushup challenge for me stopped when I got sick.  I will be restarting it next week. 

I also had a slight change in my work life.  My business unit at Caterillar announced yesterday 29 layoffs (out of 205 people).  I am not affected by the layoffs but I am taking about a 10% paycut (through what they are calling rolling three rolling layoffs for 1 week at a time).  I am blessed to still have a job and hope that nothing more will change.  On a good note, I will have three weeks off the spend with my family and train this summer/fall. 

I hope that everyone has a great day and I will do my best to keep you all up to date and encourage you, I have been severly SLACKING in that department.

Hi!  I hope everyone's having a great weekend.

I did the 5K this morning.  Finished in 30:17, which I was very happy with.  It felt good too.  Nothing hurt during the race, and nothing is sore now.  Yea!

Hi Group - Just got back home from the race.  WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finish time 1:58:00. I am soooo happy.  When you don't have a chance of actually winning a race, there is no better feeling then making your goal. 

It was some work - I had HR issues from the first step.  I learned 2 things:  1) I didn't quite train as hard on my tempo runs to be comfortable at that pace and 2) I can push my body for 2 hours at Zone 3 HR (10 miles) then Zone 4 to 5A for the last 3.1.  And live to tell about it.  I'll get my race report up ASAP but I may need to finish sometime tomorrow.

Have a great week!

So, are we finally getting rid of all the germs? 

Recovery week for me!  Yea!  I'm feeling pretty good about my training.  This is week 8 of my plan, and I am starting to notice the improvement.  *Look, a muscle!*

How's everyone doing?

Ok, so finally... here is the promised picture of the sunburn I managed to get a few weeks ago.  This is what happens on a 75 mile ride in a tri top with no sunscreen.  It surprisingly didn't hurt that bad, but the itching at about day 4 was almost unbearable.
