geauxtri - 2009-04-09 7:56 PM Okay NIbbs...

the question is not to run or not to run.... but..... how far to run...

here's the scenario
1.) furthest distance EVER... 7.1 mi on Sunday, left me sore til, well my quads are still ever so slightly stiff
2.) half mary is next week and I MUST finish in at least 2.5 to 2.75 hr (child's first karate belt test and I won't get to go to another til end of summer b/c the next is scheduled on top of race that I'm on committee for )

So the question is, tomorrow just about a week out... what distance do you recommend???

I'm off to church now, I'll check back later


Shoot for 9 miles or so.  That was my longest run for my first half and it worked out just fine.

Also, try to get the soreness out of your legs.  Do you have a Stick?  That's helpful for getting the soreness out.  You can also soak in epsom salts in a bath.  It sounds weird, but it does actually work.

HI Nibbs! Public Holiday here today so I slept in to almost 10...Im in my Pjs still and could quite easily go back to bed to sleep more..

I had NO idea how tired I was!!! Weathers a bit meh for riding but its meant to be the best day of the long weekend for it... so I should.. my usual riding place is unaccessible for most of the month due to the EASTER SHOW being on so I have to drive about half an hour to Centennial I think...

But while my bro is  out and the flatmate is in bed Im thinking Im going to be a couch vegetable... and RELAX!

Went to the bike shop yesterday and paid the deposit on my bike.... was weird going down there without CG but I think I prefer it because the guys will get to know me better...

They really are going to give me as long as I need to pay  the bike of but of course I want it yesterday... Im trying to workout how little I can really live on for thenext couple of months... once Ive paid the car/rent/bills etc each fortnight....because while Im due to get $900 from the gov, who knows when that will turn up... plus... if I can find the cash I can have it even sooner

Im aiming for end of May but thats so very far away...

THe joys of not having much cash... Im very very bad at saving... this is the first time in years Ive saved for ANYTHING so its amazing I already have half the cost of the bike!

Im hoping this will kick off some better money habits so I can save more, have some money put aside where unexpectd expenses come in AND finish clearing my debt.. student loans etc

I have been talking about getting a new bike for the longest time and I just couldnt get a small upgrade I had to go and et a massive one! Lol - but I KNOW it will be worth it!


That's tough!  I can't imaging waiting so long to get my bike after I picked it out.

geauxtri - 2009-04-09 6:14 PMSpeaking of little one^^^^

He tested today and was accepted on the spot into the Catholic School at our church... amybe it had something to do with the fact that my priest new I was talking to the nun at another school and possible moving to that church if he didn't get in here...

Ashame... but it's all about $$$$$  

NTL... I can't wait til the end of the school year when I can tell his current teacher and principal wre to shove IT!!!
Yeah on him getting accepted into the school you want for him.

thanks, aside from the catholic school system there's only one other private school out here, and there's no way I can afford $6K a year.... as it is pulling off the tuition for the catholic school will be tough enough.

Awesome you got the outcome you wanted!

Yup. And I've been post padding on all of them.

That kind of goes without saying doesnt it Dee?

Cat (and Dee and anyone else interested): went to the doc today.  The GI I saw last year mentioned he thought it might be IBS, so that's what I'm being treated for right now.  If that doesn't work, I get to go back in for lots of tests again.

Yep.  They also tested me for Crohn's and Celiac Disease, so I know it's not either of those.  IBS fits - the pain gets worse when I am really stressed out or eat really bad.

So far, I don't feel much different from taking the meds before I eat.  I imagine it may take a few days.  And I'm supposed to change my diet and stop eating junk and more veggies and fiber.  Yeah.

I just hope it's reasonably easy to treat and I stop feeling sick soon.  This way, I don't need surgery, which is nice.

Firm believer in epson from early days of en pointe....  but I don't take bath too much these days... i do have a foam roller... fits nicely in between nightstand and wall
I was thinkin' nine... I think that seems reasonable.

Seriously as far as diagnoses goes thats excellent! Its is a hard one to diagnose to because not muchreally shows up on an MRI or stuff which is  consistent with whats been going on!

geauxtri - 2009-04-09 7:56 PM Okay NIbbs...

the question is not to run or not to run.... but..... how far to run...

here's the scenario
1.) furthest distance EVER... 7.1 mi on Sunday, left me sore til, well my quads are still ever so slightly stiff
2.) half mary is next week and I MUST finish in at least 2.5 to 2.75 hr (child's first karate belt test and I won't get to go to another til end of summer b/c the next is scheduled on top of race that I'm on committee for )

So the question is, tomorrow just about a week out... what distance do you recommend???

I'm off to church now, I'll check back later


Shoot for 9 miles or so.  That was my longest run for my first half and it worked out just fine.

Also, try to get the soreness out of your legs.  Do you have a Stick?  That's helpful for getting the soreness out.  You can also soak in epsom salts in a bath.  It sounds weird, but it does actually work.

Firm believer in epson from early days of en pointe....  but I don't take bath too much these days... i do have a foam roller... fits nicely in between nightstand and wall
I was thinkin' nine... I think that seems reasonable.
Thanks for the input

mmm I havent had a bath in soooo long.... I should have one some time


I stopped taking baths when I realized that they often were followed by UTI's... though I suppose if I only use epson salt and no oils or bubbles... well, maybe some bubbly in a glass
