willie05 - 2009-10-02 8:18 AM Just found a picture of myself from the Savageman Olympic I did a couple weeks ago that I thought I would share. I mentioned this in my log that I have a lot of cool aero pictures of myself, but I think this one is now my favorite. I spent most of this race riding with nobody in sight, and this picture shows that and reminds me of all the lonely training hours:

Sweet Pic!

kcarroll - 2009-10-02 9:16 AM Anybody else like to mtn bike? I got one last year and live near some great trails. I have to say it is not easy. I wind up walking/pushing the bike up and (embarrassed cough) down a lot of hills.

I really want to start mountain biking, but there are really no good trail in the area

Good morning team! Just wanted to let everyone know I am not a slacker(well I am because I am supposed to swim today, but I am just too cold to put on a suit and get in the water

). My goal this month is to increase the distance in my runs. So I have to log 4 runs longer than 6 miles. My first one is scheduled for Sunday.

For some reason when I go for a long run I get anxiety about half way through that my house has blown up or someone desperately needs my attention........I think it is a mental game.

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!

so sad...Chicago blew it! No Olympics for me...oh well at least it won't mess up traffic or anything else or raise taxes above the already obscene level that they are at (10.25% sales tax...11% at restaurants!!)

Holy Cow!!! Finally got through all the pages! Here we go.........

CANDY....I love Snickers!

COLD WEATHER RUNNING GEAR.....Dress for how you will feel mid-run. Layers. I never worry about my feet. They don't get cold. Headband for ears and neck gaiter. (I used to live where it got cold, cold, cold. Now I just have to deal with rain, rain, rain.)

MUSIC.....I get lots of my music off emusic.com. Lots of indy stuff and hard to find stuff. It's cheaper than itunes. I have an ecclectic taste due to teaching Spinning. I love the electronic stuff and hard rock while running. Soul to Squeeze and Breaking the Girl by Red Hot Chili Peppers have the perfect beat to get you running at an optimal cadence. So does Black and White by Sarah McLaughlin. Anything by Asura puts me into a total zone on long runs. Hmmmm. I've got lots.

RUNNING TODAY?.....Nope. I don't run on consecutive days yet. Still trying to get my milage back up after having a baby.

Cheers!!!!

thanks for the site...I will have to check it out!

kns57 - 2009-10-01 4:39 PM So basically since I won't be taking my computer to leave in the hotel, I'll be offline starting tomorrow until Sunday evening. I will have my blackberry, so if I remember to take my reading glasses on the bicycle, I'll check in. Just need to remember to not text and cycle together. LOL

I love fresh asparagus.

Absolutely! This spring it was really thin and wimpy around here, but lately they've been good and firm. I can't decide if I should steam them or pan-fry them with some portabellos...

getting really hungry over here!!!

kimk - 2009-10-01 8:34 AM I am Kim and I have been doing tri's for 2 yrs. Just finished my season on Sunday with 2nd in my age! First time I have gotten hardware! I want to do a 1/2 mary the beginning of November so this run challenge will do me good! Need to still figure out my goal. Will look at the training plans here or if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them! The longest I have ever run was a 10 mile but that was in June. I have only been doing 5k's since then. So I need to start from there. I am also a fitness instructor at the Y and need to adjust my workouts for when I teach a lot of classes.

Kim, congrats on the AG hardware!!!!

x2~ also kim there is a program I followed called Hal Higden...wanna join us hals gals? he makes it simple to train...just follow his daily program...if you are too late just count backwards from the day of the race and see where you should be....

and my sister who is a marathon runners SWEARS by the run 5min walk 1..run 5 min walk 1...for the entire race...says she totally beats her times of trying to run the whole thing!?! I have trained to run it...so I personally am goint to try and run the entire race!? hoping no walky for me!

I am a big fan of the Hal Higdon plans. I'm on week 5 of the Novice Half Marathon plan. Am running the Philadelphia Half in November.

so we have lots of hals gals on this team... Here is a big ol' HIP HIP for hals gals!!!!!

Me too! I am using the novice HM plan!

KATIE.

YOU A HAL'S GAL TOO.

WOOOOHOOOO!
stacieb

kromanowski - 2009-10-02 4:56 AM Morning All! BIG day for us here in Chicago!!! I know many people here are against us getting the Olympics because of costs, but I guess because I am a south-sider I can see the potential to rejuvenate neighborhoods that have been neglected for years...oh yeah and I happen to love the olympics

sorry Katie...was just watching the news and Chicago was eliminated! I think it would have been great there! my grandmother grew up there and I would have liked to make a trip there to see her old stomping grounds....

obtw...if any of you know who John Phillip Sousa is...my grandmother was asked to perform in a concert in some park in Chicago with him...back in the 30's or 40's! She was a professional whistler...yup there is such a thing! haha ~~she was walking thru the park whistling when Sousa went past...and loved what he heard...he asked her on the spot to come perform with him while he was playing....pretty cool, eh!??

I'm in San Diego (Chula Vista, to be more specific). When you posted on my newbie thread, I believe you said you had some ties down here - correct? Anyway, if you're ever in town, I'll cook!

Ohhhhh will ya still be there in July? Hubby has convention every year at USD and I go with and hang out!!

aspeelma - 2009-10-01 7:15 AM For those of you that run with music what kind of stuff do you listen to? I need to find some good workout tunes.

Do you like country? Because if you do I have some that I like, but most people I know don't like country!

I listen to anything but jazz.

OH EXCELLENT - TOPPAGE TWICE TODAY!!

what....no jazz? my husband who graduated from tulane would be devastated! but I will never tell!!!! Im sure you were very worried, though!!!

Sorry, the closest I can get to listening to jazz is listening to Steely Dan. Maybe I just haven't listened to the right jazz to appreciate it.

try listening to Dave Brubeck...I actually got to see him just recently in town...he is in his 90's and still performing!! amazing perfomance too!

kromanowski - 2009-10-02 5:03 AM Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I missed a 2 mile run earlier this week because I was sick and had to cut yesterdays short by half a mile because of time...I know I will make up the half mile on Sunday because the logical turn around for my 5 mile run actually has me doing 5.5...I am debating whether or not I am going to try to make up the 2 miles tonight...Any opinions?

Katie, your schedule does not have to be set in gold...just try and follow it as close as possible...I would say skip the 2 miler...add the half mile on your next run....but I am no expert...thats for sure!!!!

They are gone! Ok I had a 16 yo competitive swimmer helping me. Between lifting and the 5000 yards he put in the pool yesterday, I think he ate most of them......but I am not counting

sure blame the kid!!

thats no kid...thats tammy! she regressed back to her childhood...as we all do when we open an oreo cookies package!!!! but I do have to ask....GOT MILK????

have to have milk with my cookies!!!
