Champion 7546   Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge Sledge - 2009-08-03 12:41 PM you can come here and run with me any time!!!...the sun didnt come out of the fog til around noon....now there is not a cloud in the sky...wouldnt you know this is the first moment I have to train...so out in the sun for me....good job on getting out that early! you are much better then I!!!! Girl Passing on Left - 2009-08-03 11:35 AM Sledge - 2009-08-03 3:47 AM Mornin' teamies! I was away this weekend, so I haven't started this challenge yet. But today's a new day and I'm heading out for a run in just a few minutes. Hope everyone had a great weekend! And we need to come up with a better name than Team 2 -- my brain is too frazzled at this hour to come up with anything clever though. what are you doing up a 3:47 am, Cheri!?...or is that west coast time!?! Yeah, it must show up for you as west coast time. It was 5:47 for me -- still early, but at least I could get out and run without the sun beating down on me.  I used to think I was a morning person...not so sure lately! haha |

I think I know most of you. But just a quick run down on me for any new people I don't know. Erica, 30 y/o SAHM to 3 crazy kids who keep me SUPER busy. This was my second season of tri's in which my A race was my first HIM. Training now for a half marathon in October. Might get an oly in at the end of August if I can squeeze it in. Okay, enough for now. I still need to figure out my goals! are you following any training plans? I too just started training to run a half marathon in October...help!?!? CHERI beat me to it. i'm using HAL HIGDONS INTERMEDIATE 1/2 MARATHON TRAINING PLAN. ive used Hal's plan for all my running-only races. there's a bunch you can download, various distances, all ability levels, and best of all theyre free. www.halhigdon.com stacieb seems to be the plan of choice! thanks for the link!!! |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge skrtrnr - 2009-08-03 1:49 PM like Erica said, most of you i know from other challenges and various asundry convos via logs, inspires, et al.... but some of you i dont.... im stacie. i live north Pittsburgh. i'm a reluctant stay at home mother of three boys, 12, 9 and 7. my SAH status affords me lots of time to train, especially when school starts again. my dh supports my tri habit too. I started running 2 1/2 years ago w the intent of starting Tri training at some point. This is my first Tri season (i started back in October) and im lovin' multisport! Tris definately 'suit' me. I did a mini Sprint and a full Sprint so far, the MS150 (2 day, 150 mile bike ride to Lake Erie) a few 5Ks here there, and an then the Aquathon this past Sunday. my A-race is this Sunday. a full Sprint - 800m swim, 12.5 mile bike, and 5K trail run. im doing a 1/2 Mary in November (The Spirit of Pittsburgh) I'm gonna see how i do. (ive done a 1/2 Mary before) If all goes well, ill consider a 1/2 IM in the late Spring, early Summer have any suggestions for good races in the Northeast that time of year??? i guess thats it. looking forward to spending the month with you! stacieb lots of great races on the north WEST coast!!! |

Yeah, that didn't happen. I got a call from an old friend who was in town and we went to lunch. Fun times. Then Bry called and said our idiot substitute realtor (our normal on is on vaca) screwed up our offer (we are trying to buy a house) and we had to do the paperwork over again. So, I cut my lunch date short and had to come home to do that. Now the pool is closed. No worries, I am gonna swim tonight. OWS at the beach with my great tri friend Beth (trirific10). Nothing like some accountability to get my arse in the water!  ETA: 2900th post! I'll hit 3000 on this challenge. Sweet! ERICA lots of good stuff...lunch w a friend. 2900th post. YOU ROCK! but sucky stuff too. plfffft to the sucky stuff. idiot sub relator. pool being closed enjoy your OWS! YAY! stacieb x2! just what Stacie said! haha ESPECIALLY that YOU ROCK! |

I meant to let you know the other day that I am using the Hal Higdon Intermediate Half Marathon plan. It's easy to follow and I like it! I'm a few weeks behind but it isn't too much volume that you can't jump in a few weeks late. I LOVE his plans...I used one for the aloha run in feb and am using the same one as you for my 1/2 mary in Nov!! |

Oh that would be AWESOME, Erica you all have SUCH an super duper network of BTers in New England. February would be a little early for me though. im thinking ill get started w trng in January, so that would put me at the end of the training around mid to the end of May beginning of June.....id like to get it in before the boys were home from school. are there any up your way THAT time of year? stacieb There is a 10k option for Hyannis. You bet there are a few half mary's in early spring. There is the Rhode Island half/full mary and New Jersey too. I am thinking of doing the full 26.2 in the spring. A big if. |
