Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 40)

Thanks!  Right now on the trainer I warm up in a low gear or is it high gear?  With less tension and I add a gear every 5 minutes, keep an eye on my speed and add in some sprints (spent 20 minutes on the big ring last night).  I also make myself stay in aero for a certain amount of time, in for 5, out for 5, in for 10 etc.  Just to mix it up.  If I didn't pay attention and work at my speed I'd be averaging 10 or so.  DVDs sound great and I might pick one up but I'm not the only one in the family room.  The BCS bowl certainly wouldn't have been my choice but it's not my TV

Hoping all goes well on the eliptical today - not a favorite machine of mine but will hopefully similiate the run enough to give me an idea whether my ITB is getting better before I run. 

You guys inspired me....not sure if I aimed the gun correctly though...hopefully I haven't shot myself.

Time on the trainer this evening, gym, run & swim, and maybe some more trainer love Sat & Sun.  Working a job on Saturday eve/night... so I won't be able to WATCH my COWBOYS pluck them birds... but I will follow along closely on my phone! 

There ya go! Woooo Hooooo! Way to pull that trigger Kevin!

See Nicole, that is how it's done.... now get to it missy!  Listen to Todd (The Sniper - Hathcock) over there and fire away...   *do you need us to make gun sounds while you fire away, cuz lord knows girls can't do that!*   some kind of gun/car sound deficiency in your genes ~ lol!

Kevin,

Good job, way to lead by example, now if Nicole would just follow.

 
In-N-Out is awesome and I'm willing to put up with Earthquakes for a tasty burger. I would have to agree with Betsy, I'm quite impressed with northerners that train through the winter, having lived and trained through NE winters I feel your pain. Keep up the good work and stay warm.

Very dangerous.  I'm in my lawyer's office there at least once a month (and no, I don't have criminal issues.  it's for work) and I don't know how they go there every day and don't go broke.  Although I'm not that attracted to bling.  Cashmere, on the other hand, is my favorite non-wicking material.  Gadgets are my real weakness.  Didn't know the garmin was iffy with the mac.  Will have to look into that.  I just got the 310XT - refer back to previous comment about gadgets.  

They are both online.  My understanding is that steepandcheap.com was the original, and it did so well selling one item at a time that they expanded.  Be careful though: it's easy to become obsessive about checking it for deals. 

RIght now Bonktown has Reynolds carbon race wheels for 61% off.  Unfortunately for me, 61% off is still 900 bucks.

 

Kevin - sweet shot man. That is know as a twofer. One shot 2 kills.

In-N-Out...

We road tripped 29 hours each way for Animal Style Double Doubles 2 years ago...
They might just be a good enough reason to move for me.

Smokin' deal, I guess I am glad I missed that... I might have dropped some coinage on that one and ruined my chances at pulling the trigger on the PowerTap!  Then our mentor would have been SOOOO disappointed in me!  Ha Ha!   I will keep an eye on the sites now!  Great, one more distraction at work!

Closest one to me is Vegas (or is Phoenix closer).... either way, ROAD TRIP!  It would SO be worth it! lol!

sweet!

It is our first stop when we go to Vegas, Before the casino, Before check in, If I could figure out how to do it before I get my baggage I probably would...

I think it's probably a blessing I've never had an In and Out burger!  They didn't have them in Phoenix or Vegas when I lived there.

So I went to the gym today and did the eliptical and it bothered my ITB  I wasn't in serious pain or anything but it was uncomfortable.  I did 25 minutes - BTW how do I log eliptical in the logs?  They also conveniently (NOT) changed the time of the ballet tone class so I missed it.  After the eliptical I did lots of stretching and some ab work on the ball.  Then I read my book waiting for the girls to get out of PE.

So I haven't run at all in the last week and even the eliptical is bothering me.  What are the chances I'm going to be able to run 13.1 in a week???  At this point I'm not sure what to do.

Hmmmm.... Legoland for the kiddies, In-N-Out and Trader Joe's for Dad and the beach for Mom.....

Oh and training too...

Elliptical is listed under sports in the training section. I honestly don't know much at all about ITB so I unfortunately don't have any advice for you (sorry!). I hope it starts feeling better soon!

Just knocked out a 2 mile run and will continue to start upping the mileage again over the next 3 weeks before the training plan kicks in. I'll be heading back to the pool tomorrow morning for swim #2 of the year. Hoping to get on the bike Sunday...if it's not ridiculously windy, I will...if not, there will be a run in my future.

Ken and I had a nice evening out with girl #1 after her first reconciliation

All your burger talk and Kerianne chose Steak n Shake for dinner.  I had a burger AND a shake!
Oh and just so you know.... it's COLD outside!

I've learnt that Tucson has 3 In-N-Out Burgers.  And it is earm.  And no earthquakes that I know of.  Nor hurricanes I believe.  Just saying

All this talk about In and Out Burger reminds me of our last day on our honeymoon in San Francisco. we were driving to a fancy last hurrah dinner and past an in and out burger and ended-up eating animal style instead. Being from the east coast it's a rare treat.. the memories.. I guess us New Yorkers have Shake Shack..

I've been running further than I thought!!!!! My 1.1 mile loop is actually 1.14 miles according to a Garmin GPS. This means my 7.14 mile run at 9:16 mile pace is actually at a 8:57 mile pace. Whoooo hooo, I'm not as slow as I thought. Even if the GPS is off a little it's still a good mental boost.

THANKS Justine for finding the 82 degree - 12 lane pool for $5!  It was good to get the hurdle of the swim training started.  I think I can swim and get to work from there by 7AM after this pig we have to feed in the morning is sold (screwed until February except on the weekends)

Have you ever watched it rain inside?  82 degree water with metal walls / roof and 30 degree outside will create a storm in the pool area - it was very cool!

So glad we were able to give you a .04 / lap pick up.  Hopefully the Garmin was on the money!?! Either way, you feel good about your progress and that is a great place to be.

mmr is incredibly more linear than what any person can possibly run unless you do something like spray paint the mmr path on the ground and follow it. exactly.  every time you deviate from this path the distance increases.  kind of the same reasoning behind people always complaining that courses are long, esp running races.  the course probably isnt long.  the runner did not follow the exact path of the measured course.  now if they are shorter than the course then more flags go up.
