Fred D's triathlon training group CLOSED (Page 46)

EZ 6 mile run this morning and planning on a swim at lunch.  The body is feeling better from the weekend but still had some trouble rolling out of bed.  Visibility this morning was less than a 0.25 mile with the fog so kept to the less traveled roads.

So my work gave me a gift certificate to a local running store for my 10yr anniversary.  There was no amount on the certificate.  I take it into the store yesterday to check.....$300!!  I will have one of those, 2 of those, give me a couple of those LOL.  I think I am going to load up on shoes actually since I burn through them pretty quick.  I am going to give the Saucony Kinvaras or Fastwitch a try and see.  I will run on the treadmill at the store first first but those two have my attention.  Anybody have experience with either.  I know the Kinvaras are very popular.

I have an incredible urge to ask Bryan in his tread how much CF he did to prepare for his IM (I was just in the strength training section) but I would hate to derail an extremely good thread. 

Got in a good 6 mile run this morning and almost pooped my pants.  3.5 miles in, I though I would be able to make it home, but after 4 miles, there was no way.  Thank God McDonalds was just across the street.

Morning everyone.

I did swim briefly this am with a PB and it was 'meh' but I got it done. Definitely in a low place for training with injuries. Trying to be positive, but struggling.

BT tri talk is also in a very low place for me recently. There seems to be a break down in discourse and moderation IME. I never expect everyone to agree with my (strong) opinions, but there has been a rash of posts that strike me as intolerant, baiting and completely outside the range of what is considered good 'triathlon' discussion.

Honestly the moderation here is usually much better, but the fact that the thread making derogatory remarks about gay people and the thread Tom D. suggested weight loss for someone already pretty thin just continue to carry on makes me realize BT is becoming a different place than it used to be.

My suspicion is that my injuries have made me more sensitive to the 'crap' that goes on in the forums.

I see a self-imposed 'BT-break' coming up in the future for me, but as always will support the group here.

Apologies for the rambling.

Good morning, just a quick note to let you guys know that I got the results of my MRI and I have torn cartilage in the shoulder that my doctor is going to take care of in a couple of weeks.  I am going to sneak in a 5K and a duathlon in the next couple of weeks to feed the need to race, but other wise it will be a slow recovery back.  He told me the swim return could be several months down the road, although the bike and run shouldn't be any where near that long.  Not a big deal, kind of a relief to have a diagnosis and a path to correct it and the races will still be there next year. 

I wanted to let you guys know that I have appreciated the knowledge shared here and the other conversations and have learned a lot, I will continue to monitor your conversations.

Fred, good luck with your Achilles issue!  I hope you get it figured out!
