YUM!  What kind of wheels are those? Bontrager 5.0 ACC pedals? Shimano Dura-Ace PD-7900.  It's their new carbon pedals that just came out this month.  Do you have a bike case to get it back home with you?  Yup, purchased a hard case.  Definitely need to protect my new baby as much as possible.  I hope so!

Wow!! What a beauty.  Love it!

sdalessio - 2011-01-08 8:45 AM Hi gang - we both survived the first day of the goofy challenge.  We went a little slower than we planned but Tony was being careful w/ his knee and our plan paid off as we finished in good shape.  The hardest part was the 2:50AM wake up call.  UGH!

Fun race though.  There were Disney characters at every mile marker, we ran down Main Street and through Cinderella's castle.  Off the pool now w/ the kids!

Up tomorrow same bat time, same bat place but 26m instead of 13m.  :-)

Did I miss something here?  I don't get it...  I can't tell the tone of the post.  I never said I wanted to be a Boras or Rosenhaus.  I actually wouldn't mind helping recent college grads who just couldn't get drafted.  There are multiple levels in the industry.

badgerintx - 2011-01-08 12:50 PM Ok....Kelly and Bryce... thanks for the jinx with all the "Mental Toughness" talk this week.  I haven't really struggled through a workout for several weeks.  BUT.................................. 
This morinings workout SUCKED, on several levels, and I have decided it is due to all the Mental toughness MOJO discussions going around the group this week!!!  Hey....gotta blame somebody!!! 

So because of you guys, now I gotta brick again tomorrow to make up for the fact that I sucked today.

Haha, okay!  I kinda figured it was sarcasm, but I'm still new, so give me a break!  I still think soccer is the toughest sport around though...   I might be biased though.

SoccerGK - 2011-01-08 1:25 PM So after all this mental toughness stuff, I decided I was going to get in my long run this morning come hell or high water.  Every time I drop a running workout, I feel so guilty about it!  So, even though I'm sick as a dog (me, Ryan, and Nadie are all sick...yay), and even though I feel super sore from the sickness, I figured I could get it done.

Wrong.

I felt really good the first 4.5 miles and thought I'd be fine, and then, the soreness hit me like a ton of bricks.  My legs could barely move anymore.  I struggled so badly the last 4 miles.  I never walk anymore, and I had to walk twice today.  And I started feeling sick to my stomach.  I haven't loaded my Garmin info yet, but I'm pretty sure I was at like 13 min/mile pace because I was dragging badly.  Now, I'm so sore, I can barely move.

So, moral of the story, there is a thin line between mental toughness and flat out stupidity.  Today, I crossed that line!  If I run tomorrow (only if I'm feeling better), I will only go for a few miles.

Dino, haven't you learned by now that you can say that the workout sucked, but you aren't allowed to say that you sucked today.  Positive Mental Attitude.  You will get it done tomorrow!
