ArielLIlB - 2012-08-16 7:15 AM just checking in to say hi! I"ve been keeping up with the training advice and miscellaneous shenanigans via email updates.  Vaca is going ok, boating is on hold until the mechanic gets over to change the oil...he was supposed to do it LAST WEEK and still hasn't been by, so our plans have gotten a bit messed up.  Today I'm contemplating a little bike ride while hubby sleeps in.  I did run Tuesday and did horseriding yesterday, so over all I think I'm doing ok with the training.  Haven't been in the water in a while though...good thing it's a sprint tri next weekend and not the Oly!!!

Great job with the training, Brie, keep it up!

Ouch. I forgot to check weather.com before I headed out for my 90 minute run this afternoon at 4:15. 94 degrees. I am toast. I think I lost two pounds. For the last three miles, I kept telling myself, "Just stay in the box; stay in this box" and "If it's hard, it's good."

Yeah, so the 90 minute run took me 100 minutes. It was definitely hard.

 

YUK! Glad you survived. Hopefully you re-hydrated too! Are you back to school soon?

I'm still not quite there yet -- I slept nine hours last night, lost another pound, and my leg muscles are still cramping a bit. I think it was a good experience, actually. My hamstrings started cramping the last mile and a half, and last night, before falling asleep, was miserable -- toes, calves, quads, hamstrings -- everything was cramping, just one thing after another. Even my arms and back are sore. It was brutal.

I'm back at work. Some students are here -- fall athletes. I saw a group of soccer girls last night, and I, feeling totally beat up from my little run, asked them how long their work out had been that day. "Only four hours." Only???? They are alternating six hour days (triples) with four hour days (doubles). The only consolation was that they said they were about ready to die out there yesterday afternoon from the heat, too. Their coach was yelling at them: "I don't care if it's 60 (what it had been the day before) or 100!! Get out there!"

I should put that on my Road ID. lol

School starts next Wednesday for us. My kiddos had their first day of school today. Jayson was so cute; as he walked out the door, he said, "This is going to be the best day ever." And then when we were getting out of the car at school, Ben accidentally shut the car door on Jayson's foot! Not funny, but ironic. Because the first day of school didn't start out that well -- tears and crying. But he was fine once we got to his class.

I've been seeing so many first day of school pix on FB.  Those were always fun days. Your soccer-girls reminded me of a funny story.  So 3 years ago we sent our youngest off to college for the first time.  He drove from Nebraska (where we lived at the time) to Irvine, CA by himself with his truck weighed down with all of his college necessities.  So he got to school and who helped him move in to his room? The girls soccer team! He has always been a bit of a ladies man...

Very cute. That was pretty gutsy of him -- Nebraska to California on his own at 18. And good of you, too. That would have been tough.

A day off work today to go to the school concert, my presence is required at the lunchtime and evening performances!  Yikes!  Not enough wine in the world my friends!

So did I get to sleep in - er no, was up at 5.45am to do 45mins on the drainer - loved it, every second song cranked up a gear.  Sweating by the end and proud of myself! - that's a rarity!

I then drove to a friend for coffee, she makes the best in Melbourne!  Then home and decided to rearrange Artemis' bedroom furniture, it was cramped and messy, now it's beautiful she'll be so happy!

Mmmm a day off technically is always harder work that work itself.  Darn it.

I cannot believe I'm doing a HM on Sunday - what was I thinking!

Days off can be exhausting! You will do a great job at your half this weekend. As someone told me a couple weeks ago, the hay is in the barn.

Two concert performances sat through.  The evening one my girl had a solo singing part and she brought the house down - a star is born!  Watch out Adele!

It was nice to catch up with other parents and neighbours, great community spirit at our school.  Love it.

A late night for the little ones - 10pm, will take her late to school tomorrow and be late for work - oh well!  The boss is away....

How nice! Congrats to your daughter on a job well done.

Training during vacation is tough, but it sounds like you are getting some great activity in and having a good time. I hope you get the boat soon.

HAHA that's awesome!  I love that he asked for help from the girls soccer team. Why ask for the football players help when you have them! Smart kid!

Alright, I bucked up and sent an e-mail to my running resource and she already replied 

 "It sounds like you're in a great position to shoot for the 2016 trials.  Your time is quite respectable and really not as far off as it sounds.  Three important factors that you have going for you already are your ability to run 70 miles a week injury-free, your understanding of the importance of patience and consistency, and the fact that you enjoy running."

She goes on to give me more specific advice AND some recommendations for coaches if I so choose down the road. 

It's nice to know that I am on track. Well, I felt like I was on track but it's nice to have those feelings validated from someone who has been there. 

Did y'all see that? Patience! Me! Patience!

Well fine.  But part of the deal is wearing a beer helmet (over your toque of course), while singing the 12 days of Christmas (Bob and Doug's version), while building an igloo--which of course you have to sleep in.  Don't worry, your dog sled will help you in your hunt of the cariboo for food.

I've been seeing so many first day of school pix on FB.  Those were always fun days. Your soccer-girls reminded me of a funny story.  So 3 years ago we sent our youngest off to college for the first time.  He drove from Nebraska (where we lived at the time) to Irvine, CA by himself with his truck weighed down with all of his college necessities.  So he got to school and who helped him move in to his room? The girls soccer team! He has always been a bit of a ladies man...

So he's a ladies' man, intelligent, independent, resourceful, clearly a very fine-looking young man, has some of the most awesome parents on Earth, and ... he's of legal age? Laughing

Alright, I bucked up and sent an e-mail to my running resource and she already replied 

 "It sounds like you're in a great position to shoot for the 2016 trials.  Your time is quite respectable and really not as far off as it sounds.  Three important factors that you have going for you already are your ability to run 70 miles a week injury-free, your understanding of the importance of patience and consistency, and the fact that you enjoy running."

She goes on to give me more specific advice AND some recommendations for coaches if I so choose down the road. 

It's nice to know that I am on track. Well, I felt like I was on track but it's nice to have those feelings validated from someone who has been there. 

Did y'all see that? Patience! Me! Patience! 

Awesome!  Might have to make you an honorary Canuck tho'...so's I don't have to cheer for an American...

If I get a denim pants suit out of the deal, I'm in. 

Well fine.  But part of the deal is wearing a beer helmet (over your toque of course), while singing the 12 days of Christmas, while building an igloo--which of course you have to sleep in.  Don't worry, your dog sled will help you in your hunt of the cariboo for food. 

I went puppysledding around Lake Louise in the dead of winter! It was such grand fun!

As for Salty ... I can see her doing that, and the igloo inexplicably exploding while she's trying to install a pole, and all the caribou for miles around fleeing in terror, and the poor dogs winding up looking like Tom and Jerry after firecrackers, but somehow everybody winds up warm drunk and happy on beer in the end anyway. Dogs and caribou included, of course.

If this feat is fueled by beer I've got it covered. I do everything better when I've had a few. Right? No?

I've been seeing so many first day of school pix on FB.  Those were always fun days. Your soccer-girls reminded me of a funny story.  So 3 years ago we sent our youngest off to college for the first time.  He drove from Nebraska (where we lived at the time) to Irvine, CA by himself with his truck weighed down with all of his college necessities.  So he got to school and who helped him move in to his room? The girls soccer team! He has always been a bit of a ladies man...

So he's a ladies' man, intelligent, independent, resourceful, clearly a very fine-looking young man, has some of the most awesome parents on Earth, and ... he's of legal age? Laughing

*ducking and running*

I was expecting this from you. 18 is fair game or so I've been told.  

In some states it's 17!

Not California, though.

Not that I'd know anything about any of this.

Yeah, you are more well-versed in the teacher/student laws.
