TriAya's Group: SHUT like dog on steak, sorry! (Page 35)

maybe you should try Leslie's remedies

I hope you did!  I feel great, even went trail running today!

I saw that!  and you my friend were ready for more

Yes, it seems I hit that point a lot...which means I am probably undertraining or something?  Or just really freakin' excited to get a chance to run outdoors.  Although it sometimes happens in the pool and on the bike, too......not so much indoors on the bike, though.  So here's a question for you, Yanti (or others of course)--if my 'planned'run is 30 minutes, and after about 25 min of running I am just feeling great and want to run more......should I just go ahead and do it or stick pretty close to the plan as written?  I know right now my training plan is all wonky, as it's the final week or two of the sprint plan so it is 'prepping' me for racing.  I am sure once I start the Oly plan I will be happy to see my planned runs end!    Still, what do you recommend if we hit the zone in a training session??

Go a bit further. Revel in it in. Live the moment, laugh (and if you can't, you're going too hard ), feel as alive as you can.

And don't forget to do a longer cool down.

 THAT IS AWESOME!!  I went to a Cirque du Soleil a few years ago and LOVED it!!! You will have a blast!!!

I have my bike fitting tomorrow!  I am SO excited!!!  I am doing the upgraded computerized triathlon fit.  I can't wait to see my bike all tricked out with the stuff I bought!  I'll take a pic when I get home.

I ran the farthest I've ever run tonight (3.71 miles).  It's amazing how quickly I have improved in the run portion.  I almost feel like a real runner now.   When I walked in the gym the other night the girl at the front desk said "how many miles are you going to run tonight?"  I looked around b/c I figured she wasn't talking to me.  She was.  She thinks I'm a runner!! 

Hey everyone!  It's pretty quiet on here today....whatcha been up to?  I did a 5.3 mile run this morning, one of my longest training runs ever.  I think I could have gone farther but my socks were old and started giving me blisters, darn it!  This afternoon I didn't do a darn thing that I should have been doing (chores) and instead played Guitar Hero on the Wii for two hours while my youngest napped and the oldest is at grandma's house!  I rock!  Hehe. I was out until (gasp) 2 AM last night, which is very rare for me, so I am sort of dragging today to say the least.  I did take it easy on the wine, though, so am not feeling hungover, just tired.  I do not have the energy I used to.  At least for staying out late.  Now, for running, I have the energy.  Go figure.

Yeah, quiet, I've been quiet too, busy!

Sounds like you could use some new socks, Leslie --and super job on the LONG RUN!

Congrats on getting out there, Shawn--you are the team cheerleader!!!

My training buddies popped a 6-miler out there in the rain ... surprisingly, not so few piglets out as we'd anticipated, given the weather, and the ones out were VERY friendly! Yum! (There's really only two reasons we work out--food, pretty boys, and food. Did I say food? I'm kidding--about the pretty boys. No, actually--there are many reasons we work out--but those are on the list!!!)

I also swam for the first time in a month (maybe more). Felt really good. 1300yd and I was done. Not finished; just done.

Wow!  First fall on the bike, first ride on aerobars, first swim in a long time. . . lots of firsts this weekend!  Good job, all...except maybe the fall, sorry to hear about that, Erin!!

I did end up with a gnarly blister so I skipped out on working out today and instead threw away all my old socks.    I am starting the Oly program next Sunday so I am sort of chilling out a bit this week in preparation for 16 weeks of intense training and race season.

Hope everyone's weekends were fun!

Hello all!!  I had my bike fitting on Saturday.  It went really well.  The guy who did it was very knowledgable and pretty cute too.

I took the bike out for a while yesterday.  Oh goodness...I have a lot to learn.  I love my bike, but I am not very steady right now.  My sit bones were really sore from the fitting (rode a lot during the fitting to measure output, power, etc).  It's going to take me a while to get used to the 'real' bike.  I only have 6 weeks until my first race, so I better get going!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous Monday!

Seems like bike shop boys are always cute....  The LBS here is family-run so there's a bunch of young guys there.  I am always a dork, cuz I feel about 16 and am nearly 40 so they probably think I am so weird.  At least they are always polite!  I am sure I will remain a dork as my kids get into their teens, as well.  I will always be able to work out with them, which I am sure they will be so happy about.....NOT!

We have snow here today, it's lovely.  I just saw a couple of peeps riding by on mountain bikes, which makes me want to do the same.  Maybe I will convince hubby not to drive in to work quite yet and take a spin.....or a run.....or just play outside.  Actually I pawned off my 5-yr-old on the neighbor girl, so they are down at the park. I am having indecisive issues today, obviously!
