Yanti & Salty MAD MANATEES Mentor Group - FULL POD (Page 4)

I'll definitely suggest the Charleston Marathon if you go that route, same weekend as Bone Island.

I figure I did most of a marathon plan before injury/illness last winter so I should be able to handle HIM training now that I have a bike trainer.  Plus after this year I think we will need a nice party/no stress vacation, little brothers wedding and everything that goes with it- I didn't think weddings could have so much drama and it's not until october!  I'm also deviously planning on having a great time with the wife so I can push for that to be my first full in 2014.

I just don't want to do my long rides on the trainer.  Also, getting my extra time in the pool is easier when the outdoor pool is open.   Running outside in the winter is a lot easier for me than riding outside, thus the marathon thoughts.

Good morning manatees!  I'm all caught up on everyone's bio...loving this group!!!

What's on tap for today for everyone?    

I've got yoga and a ride this afternoon

Swim lesson this morning (done), 90 minutes on the bike after work.  More intervals.

After getting rained on yesterday, hoping for no storms popping up on today's ride.

I'm willing to admit I was wrong--the sore throat is officially a cold! ICK. I can only hope I am recovered by the 15th---I want to do that race; I am just a wimp when I am sick. wah, wah, wah.

That being said, hello to all the new folks! Good to meet ya!

zzzz

ZZZZZ

zzzZZZZzzzzZZZZZ

That's what I did some of today during the day, and plan to do a whole lot more of it tonight. I'm actually getting to sleep (not just to bed) around midnight these days (SHOCK!) and I'd like to keep it that way.

Oy, oy! Feel better soon!

Not that a cold is ever a desirable thing, but sometimes more rest before a race is actually quite good.

What's on tap for today for everyone? 

I was shooting for a 3-4 mile run this morning, but my knee was not cooperative. 1.36 run, 2.17 walk instead. And now onto the tricky part of the day...finalizing summer camp registrations for my littles. Makes me almost as crabby as my knee.

My knees gripe at the thought of running these days.  I'm thinking if I can take off 25 more lbs, they'll be a little less whiney.

I know the summer camp woes.  My son only has a 5 week summer break, one of which we will be on vaca, and I still cringe at finding just the right thing for him.

Ouch! I'm amazed you were able to run with the pain.  I gave up after my twelve mile run while marathon training because I couldn't handle it, but that was definitely NOT a race!

Ha! My family makes fun of me all the time for saying "y'all," but really there isn't another word that works quite the same way.  The Midwestern version is "you guys" but that takes longer to say.  

I am sad I missed Monument.  I would have loved to run, but I was not ready.  We were all kind of sick, too, so I didn't want to risk taking E out and standing around in the cold/rain.

However, Judi and I are both planning on doing Patriot's, so you should do that!

I am hoping to run this afternoon.  If it isn't too cold and drizzly like it is now, I should be able to take the baby.

Good morning!!!!

I generally do two-a-days on Tuesday and Thursdays.

Tonight is especially exciting because my evening run is an adventure run. Once a month a running store puts on a run. You are given a map and have one hour to run all around the city picking up raffle tickets from specific locations. At the end, you throw all of your raffle tickets in and there is a big party where you drink beer and hope they draw your ticket. They always have really great prizes like new shoes and garmin running watches but of course I never win  

Salty is INDAHOUSE!!!

Good, because it's actually midnight-ish (just past) and as I said before (gasp!) ... I'm going to sleep.

Goodnight, Manatees!

If the rain stays away, I'll be running 10K at lunch outside.  If it does rain, I think I'll drive to the gym and run the treadie, will just have to take a longer lunch.  Then tonight is masters swim night.  Tuesdays swim was easy, expecting something more challenging tonight.

Nighty-night, Yanti! You are so well behaved these days. 

I'm sure THAT will last

until tomorrow, maybe.

Sweet dream

I tried to run this am; for the last 3 weeks I've been dealing with a hamstring injury and every so often do a "test' run to check its healing.  Well, it's not healed

This pm I will spend about 1 hour on the trainer.  At least I'll attempt to spend an hour on the trainer - on tuesday, my bike fell off 2x!

Fell off not once but twice! Sheeeesh, don't injure the other hammy! Maybe even wear a helmet...

Asalzwed - 2012-04-05 9:35 AM I also just want to throw it out there that I am a HUGE sucker for ALL ACCENTS. I just love it. I am also convinced that I do not have an accent. Seattle-English in the gold standard for normal 

I too get a kick out of accents.  Being a Canadian, I don't have one (close enough to Seattle-English that you can't tell, anyway).  We just like to say Eh? a lot. 

As for training today, I am supposed to be doing a 75 min run.  May move the day off to today however, as I am feeling fatigued.  Another ice hockey player here, and had lead legs last night at my game...Game went to a shootout, with every player on both teams shooting before a winner was finally declared.  Sad; we are worse at the shootout than the Canucks .  Have a great day (or sleep) all!
