Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() quincyf - 2010-09-02 7:05 PM OK so for your reading entertainment, I am going to admit to a personal fail: Last night I got totally drunk. Not only that, but my evil twin smoked about 6 cigarettes. And today I was supposed to do a 50 minute tempo run. OH eff THAT! I could have (I have amazing stamina in the face of hangoverness, but the fact of the matter is, I just didn't want to.) I am chalking it up to a mid-training crisis. Actually, I feel like I needed to succumb to the endurance athlete equivalent of punching a hole in the wall...all this running is making me cuh-ray-zee! Send manatee flipper smacks if you like. I deserve them. Back on the straight and narrow, y'all. Just thought I would share. Heart,
Complete absolution, Q ---- complete. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was full of stuff, but not much training. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Mine was good too. We did a last-minute getaway to Utah (before the DW can no longer fly for awhile). So my training lacked too although I got a few small pool swims in and some high altitude hiking. The outdoor pool at our hotel was "heated" which was fun to swim in in the 45 degree night. But not nearly as much fun getting out! ![]() We did a hike to a cave and climbed about 1100' in 1.5 miles. I think I need to workout my calves a little more here in flat Chicago haha. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() That sounds like a fun time, Ryan. Enjoy the times before baby, because afterwards, they are kind of few and far between, at least for us everyday parents without full time staff to assist like say, Tom and Katie or Brat and Angelina. My labor day was labor intensive -- did a 15 mile run on Sat. (how many miles was your lr Q? -- a 33 mile bike on Sun and some swimming on Monday and errands and hanging out with the family. Also took in a movie -- the American -- (a rental) on Friday afternoon. I was thinking about all us Manatees and wondering how our fall season is lining up. It should be cooling off for a lot of the country -- great running and cycling weather before real winter sets in. Enjoy !! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hihihi everyone. I think I am recovered from last weeks hangover...holy crud! I definitely am experiencing a mental rough spot in Marathon training, but I am glad...when it happens again in the future, I hopefully won't be so freaked out by...my freakout! Yanti, you do have a fun mind. Loved your post on Tinley's article...your critique on his writing was dead on without sounding too "critical." Lynn, congrats on the 15 miler. When do your legs start to ache? Mine seem to hit "ow" around 7-8 miles, and despite my yearnings, all this training hasn't seemed to move that back...no matter how long I am going, the hurt starts at 7-8 miles. Long run on Sunday was 20 after a 10 mile pace run on Saturday. I have to keep reminding myself that I am going into the 20 milers tired and there is a reason for it, and I WILL feel better on race day. I get pretty despondent around mile 17 thinking about having almost another 10 to do. Sigh. Ryan, enjoy the mommy-daddy time now! But don't let all of us telling you to "enjoy it now" scare you. Raising children is a wild, fun ride. And the idea that I am responsible for the life of another human being is as magical today as the day they were born...I imagine that NEVER changes. Such an amazing thing! What is everyone thinking of for the off season (for those of us that have an off season...grr). Ok gotta go eat some awesome homemade waffles. More later! Q |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have a 5k on Saturday. It's a local race only a few miles from my house and my 7yo is going to do the kids 1 mile fun run after my race is over. Ryan and Q, it'd be great to have you out if you're interested. This morning I managed to do almost 6 miles pushing the little dude in the stroller. I haven't gone through all my logs but I'm pretty sure that's the furthest I've gone with him so I'm feeling good about that. I haven't been biking or swimming since the move and should be running more often but it's a work in progress. I'm hoping to do a 10k later this month and then a couple more 5 or 10ks in October. If the budget allows we'll be getting a treadmill before the really cold weather hits and if that happens I'm going to try to get ready for a half mary in the spring. We'll see how that goes. Lynn, I'm totally amazed at how you manage to get such quality workouts in with kids. I know yours are older, but most of the time it seems like it's my teenager that's keeping me running around like a chicken with my head cut off. On the plus side, E is making new friends at school and I'm thrilled because she seems to have hooked up with a bunch of girls in the running club. The girl she's been hanging with the most, another 13yo, does half marathons and is being recruited by private high schools for their cross country teams and has been doing drills with E during gym to help her form. I'm hoping the friendship sticks so maybe she'll come train me too ![]() |

Melon Presser ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hello darling Manatees! Thank you everyone who's been posting--yippee! Lynn, nice labor on Labor Day! Quincy, thanks. ![]() If I missed you, and you posted recently, send a flipper smack my way ![]() Training's good, life is crazy as usual. The big news du jour is that I am engaged to the love of my life, my best boy friend, and we've been in love and very close touch for a couple decades--but just never quite managed to both be single at the same time, until now. We've still never quite managed to be in the same place, usually not even the same continent (nor are we now), but at this point, we're really okay with having a nontraditional marriage. (We did live near each other in California for a few years, though). I am also inheriting the world's most wonderful kiddo in the mix (Michael has sole custody of his 6-year-old son) ... I have also maintained a relationship with the son as he's grown up. So we're working out logistics and are spending WAY TOO MANY hours a day on Skype. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() CONGRATS Yanti. That's exciting news! Maybe you can multi task and skype-bike? ![]() I have no idea what my winter training is going to consist of. I need a goal to work towards for next year: more sprints, Olympic distance, half-iron, half-mary, etc. Hmmmm. Of course based on what you all said I will have no free time ever again in my life ![]() Good job on training out there everyone especially to the great long runs of Lynn, Q, and Allison (w/stroller). |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() thndrcloud - 2010-09-08 11:34 AM I have a 5k on Saturday. It's a local race only a few miles from my house and my 7yo is going to do the kids 1 mile fun run after my race is over. Ryan and Q, it'd be great to have you out if you're interested. Thanks for the invite! I am doing Lake Geneva on Saturday...minus you and Ryan, boo. And now I am going to do something that normally I hate. You know how you invite someone to your house and they say no, but then reinvite you to their house instead? I hate that. But that's not stopping me from doing it Anyway, we ARE planning on doing the Bucktown 5k if you and Ry are interested. This is the rare race that actually takes place NOT on the lakefront...goes through our 'hood. It's a dreaded "RAM" racing event, but it's pretty hard to screw up a 5k. It also always makes the news for some weird reason. Two years ago it was because the city towed everyone's cars parked on the route in the middle of the night without warning them, and last year some guy proposed to his GF at the finish line. Anyway if either/both of you show up, I'll talk DH into making brunch afterwards. You know we love us some brunch! Or we can go somewhere for b-fast...I don't know of a place that makes sammies as big as your head, but the Hollywood Diner on North and Ashland makes a tex-mex skillet to die for. All the construction workers, cops, ladies of the evening, and abuelas coming home from church go there, so you KNOW it's good. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Sorry for dropping out of Lake Geneva...I got burned out on 3 tris in August ![]() Q- I have heard that race is pretty fun...so maybe I'll try to head out and make it another fall 5k. Allison- I am going to try to make the race this Sat but I need to check with the DW for scheduling first but I'll let you know. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() YANTI!! Damn woman, that's exciting news -- engaged. Whoa! I'm sure if anyone can make it work you will. You're one determined woman! All the best to you and your lovey.
Nice running Q! I'm over 40, so I don't do runs on back to back days. And, Allison, when my son was younger I wasn't into the whole tri thing. The best I could do was an hour at the gym and even then I'd get called to the day care. I basically took time away from exercise when he was younger (I have one kid, so that makes a difference too -- not counting my DH) and gained 30 plus pounds. So I admire you for sticking with it. Good luck on your 5K's and tris this weekend you Chicagoans! Let's see how fast you can run Ryan! Edited by lmscozz 2010-09-08 3:07 PM |

Regular ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey y'all! Long time, no see! Things have been bananas. My first tri (a super sprint) is in 17 days and I'm FREAKING OUT. I know I'm ready and I totally have this, but still. I'm afraid I'll drown, crash, or find myself crawling to get to the end of the run and get a big, fat DNF. All totally rational fears, right? ![]() That, however, is balanced by looking forward to finally being able to call myself a competitive triathlete. |

Regular ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() WOW!!! You guys have been active!! These last 2 weeks have been nuts (getting ready for school, etc) so I have been out of the loop CONGRATS YANTI!!! So... where is he living now? Skype rocks ![]() Quincy, go on with your drunk ! ![]() Ryan, If it makes you feel any better, my DH, son and I lived in a 650 sq ft apt in NYC for a year. It's totally doable. Allison,yeah on the move and don't worry about the training... yet ![]() Scottie, Good luck with the super sprint! You will rock it. Just follow the training plan. I know I missed a lot... need to review all the posts and reply again. BTW - my next tri is on 10/10. I have done NOTHING the last few weeks, so I need to pick it up! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() WoW, lots has happened since I checked in yesterday. Everyone is nuts or bananas or ENGAGED ![]() Congrats Yanti! I'm in the "I have a 6 year old" club as well. With the upcoming races and babies and weddings, this should prove to be an interesting thread over the next year or so. |

Regular ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Lynn-Yeah, I know I'm being irrational. I'm more than ready for it. I'm most concerned about the swim because, well, I hate it. The good news is it's in a lake along the shoreline, so I can stand up if absolutely necessary. I'd prefer not to, though. I'm also looking at doing a duathlon at the same park in October. Considering how much I hate to swim, I'll probably enjoy that a lot more. The end of summer is the best time to do endurance events around here (Georgia) as it's not so godawful hot and humid. It's still in the high 80's, but at least the humidity is down from 70%. Hopefully by the end of the month, it'll be even better. |

For however long it continues, it's a privilege and joy to walk, uh, flipper-crawl, uh swim ... with all the Manatees. |
