Yes, I did 35 miles with 15-25mph crosswinds (a little headwind, too, but not much tailwind). My average mph was pretty pitiful.

I've got 40 miles scheduled for Saturday. Maybe, just maybe, we won't have a windy weekend. Please?

morrisel - 2010-05-12 4:59 PM So good news & bad news. Good news: x-ray was negative for a stress fracture!!! Bad news: my back has been killing me and has basically put me out of training for two weeks. I finally went to the chiro today to get realigned and it hurts even more now! GRRR. More bad news: I have a race in a little over 2 weeks and basically haven't trained ANY of May. Really frustrated, slightly depressed, but I know I'll get through it. Please send healing thoughts my way

UNCI - 2010-05-16 4:51 PM did another 5K today. i may be really slow but this was a PR for me. i felt good during most of it. i had to walk up most of the hills but there were enough downhills to help make up for the uphills. when i got to 40 mins i really tried to pile it on. i really wanted to break 50 mins. i'm so proud of myself for doing that. this is the first time i've done that. i was 309/336 overall and 15/17 for my age group. go me!

TRIMAN413 - 2010-05-17 11:45 AM Hey everyone.  I am back!!!  I fell off the bandwagon and fell hard.  It has been 7 weeks since I have done any training.  Reason:  My knees were starting to bother me again so I was taking some time off to let them rest and here I am 7 weeks later.  WOW time flies.  Looks like everyone is doing well.  I have not got all the way through the forum to catch-up.  I will later. 

Welcome to the group Judy.

I honestly dont know how much running I will be doing and It seems that I just dont have anytime to get to the "Y" at lunch to swim as well.  So for right now I will just be biking and maybe trying to run like once a week.

Just wanted to catch-up and say "hi"

mchally - 2010-05-20 12:06 PM My dad is going to a nursing home today.  He has been fairly unresponsive lately.  There will be a few days that he looks like he could pass at any moment and then he will rally for a day or two.  It is really hard to have this up and down thing going on...there have been several months of this.

mchally - 2010-05-25 11:58 AM Feeling really blue...haven't been to school regularly in the last few weeks and am rapidly falling behind.  There is less than a month left in the quarter and I have an incredibly huge amount to get done.

I haven't been working out much either.  I need to get a bike operational.  I would really like to make it to the Luna Chix group workout this evening, but it is a OWS/bike brick and will require me to fix a bike and get my wetsuit from my storage unit.  I am not sure if I would be able to breathe once I've squeezed myself into it.

Did I mention that I'm feeling blue and just want to sleep the day away?

mchally - 2010-05-27 11:33 AM Well I made it to the Luna Chix workout...forced myself to go and felt a lot better for it.

I am still struggling with ongoing depression though.  Yesterday I took part in some retail therapy...I visited REI to pick up some rewaterproofing stuff and ended up spending $300...I had forgotten that they were having their anniversary sale. 

I then went to a really cool game store that I'd heard about and picked up an anniversary present for my sister and her hubby.  It's a board game called Small World...sub titled 'It's a World of (S)laughter.'  Yay for poking fun at Disney.

I ended up buying myself a new board game too.  Then I visited my BF and figured out how to play it.  It is a great game as well. 

Here it is morning again...I really should be getting to school.

On the one hand, that's really awesome.  On the other hand, I think he has *way* too much free time.
