 462  |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - ClosedOriginally posted by adempsey10 I live in Canada. Complaining about how cold it is is like complaining about having to eat. It's going to be cold. That's just how it is. It was -10 celsius today so I wore a spring jacket with a hoodie; in other words, it was a mild winter day. In other news, I have not had a good week. On paper I had a great week. I did 3 runs, 3 bikes and 3 swims. I also had 3 mid-terms. I bombed one of them and probably bombed the third. Overall I feel defeated and worn out. It's been a rum and pepsi night for me. I have 90minutes to pump out tomorrow on the bike and then a rest day. Here's to hoping next week is a better week. I'm sure next week will be better. At least the class is half over. Taking today off, but I am going to bike before church, then swim after. My daughter has decided to swim with me and wants to do a kids tri in July. I can get in pool with her, and we are working on the bike. I am assuming my leg will be healed by then. |

Expert 1058  Fallon, Nevada | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Originally posted by Burd Not much going on training wise this week. Swam Monday then came home and got a piece of metal in my eye from putting together a kids toy for a friend. See how dangerous a Little Tykes car can be  . Went to the ER and they couldn't get it out so I went to an eye surgeon Tuesday morning. She dug and dug and finally got it out but said no swimming for the week. I go back to her today and hope she clears me to get back in the water Monday. It still feels like there is something in my eye but I was told this is normal. I did manage to get back on the bike yesterday and it felt wonderful. I am keeping my rides short and building my base from scratch. I also see the PT this afternoon to see when she says to try and run again. I'm guessing the month of March is going to be a loss. My HIM plan starts on April 13th so if I don't run until then I'm OK with that. Better safe than sorry I guess. I ordered the Swim Speed workouts so I'll be starting them when they get here next week. Since I can't swim with my tri group until May due to coaching again this soccer season I needed something to keep me on track. Ouch! Thats all I've got...ouch and eeewww! |

| 265 Denver, Colorado | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed I MET RACHEL JOYCE TODAY! (2013 runner up at Kona, Duh!) Anyway I went to a running form clinic (free) with the guys as Newton today and everyone was paired up with a partner...mine was the special guest, Rachel Joyce. She has to be one of the most humble and genuine people I've ever met. It was awesome to just talk about training, the joys if running, and go through the drills with a world class Triathelete. Then I went for a very snowy trail run. What a wonderful day so far. Also February saw 0/8 in the beginning due to the move and sickness 18/20 in the homestretch and my running is going very well, I've even go tot spend a lot of time on the trails which is nice. Hope all is well! |

New user 669 Madrid | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Thanks God most lumps are benign: they do paralize your brain for a while, but the relief afterwards is immense, worth the best of wines (or beers) you can afford to share with your friends, and the best workout you can ever dream. Good luck, let´s us know how it goes. Relaxed week, very lazy, a bit of travelling as excuse (today in Lisbon), so tomorrow, first watch the biggest soccer match in the season (Real Madrid vs Atlético, same city, big rivals....) with my son, then 15k run to relax, no matter what the result will be.

I drive out there and ride to rainbow bridge every once and awhile and as I pedal as hard as I can I am amazed at how fast people ride past me as if I am standing still! |

She did 3/50s with a kick board, I did a 50 between her sets, but her fist tri will only be a 50 (if she decides to do it). she wanted to do more but I was starving. |

Veteran 706 Illinois | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Hey friends: Lots going on for many of you - I'll keep you in mind, and I hope good news comes to you. For me, a good training week. This weekend was supposed to be a bit of a splurge - my father's birthday, hanging out with the guys, that sort of thing. Somehow (grumbling at myself, avoiding beer . . .) I managed, between Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, to stay generally on track in the food department, and at or near my goals. I wasn't really planning to, but when it came down to order dinner and whatnot - I simply made good choices and grumbled in disgust at the beer selection. Miller, Stella, and Corona? I'll have a diet coke, thanks. I'm not sure how I feel about that - I guess it's good, since my controls are getting better, but at the same time, it's limiting my ability to splurge. Oh well - just looking forward to getting closer to goal weight. One step at a time. |

Best time I ever had with my clothes on. :0 I raced the course, but not the Official 'Donner Lake " tri. The Western States Police and Fireman Olympics were in Reno/Tahoe a few ago and the the tri course was the same as the Donner race. That is a TOUGH climb right out of the water. Hope all goes well for you, maam. |

Regular 866 Central Coast, CA | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed February totals (22/28):
Mostly running for me, since I had the half-marathon near the end of the month. We finally got some "weather" out west which limited my running and biking during the last week of the month. Yesterday I managed a slightly soggy 4 mile run in misty conditions and enjoyed a really nice special release IPA from Bear Republic called "Apex" that was fresh and hoppy, just the way I like my beer. March is going to be a mixed bag for me. I'm travelling for a conference next week which always messes with my training schedule, hopefully I'll get a short run in if I get the chance. My main goal will be to maintain my running, continue to work on my swim, and biking when I can. |

I wish we got more of Bear REpublic's brews out East. The only thing that is reliably on the shelves is their racer five - which is one of my favorite IPA's. |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed So, I took 10 days off and waited for my hip to stop hurting. It felt better so I hopped back on the bike today and made it 20 minutes before things started hurting. Grr. So I called my insurance company to ask them how much an MRI would run me and they told me that it would be free - so hopefully that will lead to a solution. My goals for the month of March is to figure out a way to get in some milage. I was cruising in January and was pretty strong through the first half of february. So, I'm just hoping to get back in the groove. Do you guys have beers from the Maine Beer Company on the shelves of your beer shop. I don't think they export to Canada but if you are every able to get your hands on a bottle - they put out a lot of tasty stuff. I tried their American Black Ale which was damn tasty! I love it when you get hops which is balanced out by roasty notes. Yum! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed Last thought - Is there any interest in doing the weekly goals? I didn't hear anything the last time I asked but I just wanted to check. If you want - we can just post them to the forum itself if that works better for everyone. I like to see what everyone is up to so I can cheer you on - but if it's a pain - its not a big deal. Let me know... |

Was in Lisbon for the weekend fro work, so missed my training (but enjoyed beautiful, rainy Lisbon and great Alentejo wines for under 20 bucks....). This morning, 2000m swim, trying to do 4 blocks of 500 under 10 min each. Dave, I would rather have weekly goals here rather than in a different web or link. Have a great week all of you! |

| 462 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation/Accountability Society 3 - Closed did 500 in pool then some drill sets, lifted weights after. A friend of mine said if I cant run and get ready for IM he would do a relay with me. I can swim and bike he will run. Guess its an option. I'm afraid I am not healing as fast as I could because I am trying not to take time off work, but may have to. I am wearing running shoes and a brace instead of boots, but I've had to run several times as well as various other jarring activities. |
