SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 321)

I'm fine w/ whatever.  But is it straight up time to determine the winner?

thats cool.  avatar for 1 month?

LOL!  you have a marathon and i have a him on the 8th and we're racing a 5k the week before.  LOL!!

what kind of avatar?  And I see your 5K PR is a minute faster than mine.  Hummmm??? 

DO IT!!!

thats for the winner to decide.  i already have mine picked out just in case i do win.  and yes i just happened across your's as well. 

i wonder what the west coast thinks then they first tune in and see another several pages are added since they went to bed.  but then sometimes when get to work i see kim is already online.

I have no issues with my soleus, that I can tell.  There is no pain, stiffness, tightness, nothing in that area.  The pain is right at the back of the heal - like where the tendon attaches.

Psych
Monk (last season though)
White Collar
Burn Notice

I can't think of anything on the major networks that I care to make an effort to see - not quite true - I really like the Office, but I don't make a point to watch of have the DVR set for it.

The local Tri store has free runs on wednesday nights. I have gone in the past, but they have a new coach running them now. I went for the first time last night. Vicki is one of those HIGH energy people. She told us that she does a different type of run each week and tonight was a tempo run. We would warm up for a mile or so, run a mile at 85%, another mile easy, a 2nd tempo mile and a cool down. The fastest gut was there as part of his training for B2B. As we completed the first tempo run, I came up the hill and was the 5th to finish. In view of my size, I don't think Vicki expected me to finish the mile that fast. The second tempo mile I finished 4th. If was fun. I liked her attitude in was infectious. I will go back next week if it fits my schedule.

Tracy- High of 70 Low of 51 - 7 mph wind BEAUTIFUL B2B weather!!!  

Doug--- Nice


Chet/Tracy---- Really NICE!!!

Yes, lol, i do sometimes think you guys don't get too much work done in the morning!  I like to check in before i go off to do my workouts but when i get to work to post them there are usually a few pages to catch up on!  But I wish I had seen your guys' posts about the 5k or 10k, I would have ran an extra .4 miles this morning to get to 10k  

The article re: Kara and pain.  I felt that way for about 5 minutes this morning in Z4.  It is so hard to get my HR that high when not in a race.  I think she is an awesome runner...did you guys catch the 2009 Boston marathon finish? She was right up there with the 1st and 2nd place women right til the end...but couldn't quite hold them off.  I just watched it on you tube yesterday. 

Oh, and there is a great routine called MERTL?  I think it is Kara demonstrating the stretching and hip flexor routine for her coach.  I will try to look up the link.  I think it has been really helpful to keep my glute/hip issues at bay.

have a nice day everyone.

I'll bet that if the video involves Kara's gluts and hips, John has it bookmarked.

I watched Boston live from home this year.  It was pretty cool to watch.  With a mile left, she tossed her gloves to the side almost to say ok now it's game time.  It was sad to see her fade right at the end though. 

Nope Kim. None of us were watching Kara or Suzy that day.  i think i counted 4 pages worth of posts. 

edit.  and I can't wait to watch you in 2010!!!!

i'll be there 2011!! A Race goal next year - multiple attempts if needed.  3:15:59

So...I am assuming there were more than 5 people there????   If so...Nice job

Sorry to be away from the group.  Things are going pretty well here.
Connor is one tough guy...he's doing ok!  We are still worried about his injuries, but we now have to also worry about containing him - this is good      He is a VERY active guy, and this sitting around resting/recovering and not running around, playing sports, and "living" the way he is use to is tough for him.   But we'll "happily" deal with trying to contain him.  I am beginning to get to the point where I am thankful it was not worse. 

So, right now we are planning on heading to FL.  IMFL has been the last thing on my mind so I am very unprepared.  I did take my bike in this week just in case we ended up making the trip, but other than that I have done nothing.  I'm not nervous, no dreams/nightmares, no lists made, nothing......I don't even know what I am going to wear   And, I am very calm about it.   It's funny, the whole year has been built around this race, yet now it seems ho-hum.  I'm sure once we get to PCB it will all sink in, but right now not a nerve, nothing.

Thanks to everyone for the support, kind words, inspires and prayers during our scary time.  It really meant a lot.  
This group is like a family, and I might add a pretty awesome family.  If I didn't get back to anyone, I am sorry.  I didn't do a real good job there.  But please know everything/everyone was comforting.  Thank you!

Now, hope everyone has a great weekend!
Have fun if you are doing any Halloween racing
