ponderingfox - 2013-05-15 5:15 PM Went for a walk this morning and my knee didnt bother me at all. If this continues through the week, I'll begin running again on Sunday.

Foxtrot! Glad to hear the walk went well!

Artemis - 2013-05-14 5:03 PM Hiya Manatees!  I'm on the DL today and tomorrow; just went to Urgent Care and found out I have strep.  Totally wiped.  Hoping I feel well enough Thursday to do something.

Oh no!  Feel better soon.  Very soon!

Got a run in this morning, it's my anniversary today so we're heading out to a fancy restaurant to eat seafood ......

Had a routine Dr visit this morning--the Dr has taken up running.  We spend more time discussing races and the pros & cons of various shoes than he does examining me.....but hey at my age I am not having any more babies so he doesn't have much else to do.

Artemis - 2013-05-15 6:28 AM I'm on antibiotics. E doesn't seem to have it (so far), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she stays healthy.  Planning to stay home tomorrow too

BLECH. You poor, poor thing.

Great to hear! Slow and steady gets you prepared to prepare. Keep after it.

And make sure to ease back into it for sure...easy mile here, easy mile there.  Don't run until it hurts.

What I was thinking was one mile every morning next week, then two miles the week after, and then three the week after that. I should be good to go after that. Agree?

Happy Wednesday Manatees!!!

Well I took Fi out for a nice 18 mile ride yesterday. We did one of my hilly routes so we did some climbing (not bad, still had gears left Laughing) and some decents (weeeeee). Still working out the aero bottle configuration and need some input on a couple things. Fi is very finicky about having the lever for the front derailleur straight out front, I had it just a smidge down and she was complaining about it. Is that normal? My Giant wasn't that picky about it. (Fi is also very vocal about cross-chaining).

Also the aerobar arm pads. They are a clear gel-like material. I guess that's good because it's easy to clean but they feel slimy when I start to sweat. The giant had cloth pads which, I suppose, soaked up the sweat. What does everyone else run for those pads?

Interestingly, I noticed new arm muscles being used and less shoulder (i.e. holding up my head) but the position feels more agressive.

Looking for some opinions on tri watches/HRMs. My next one is on the near horizon My watch now is a Polar FT4, and I'm contemplating switching to the Garmin 310xt.  Anyone have one now or experience with one? 

I may expand on my thoughts later, but I need to get to the gym. Very late tonight!!!!

I've got the 310 - love it. However, don't get anything before the 17th, Garmin is having a huge sale on the 910s (299.99 unbundled ) and there is speculation that the 310s will decrease in price. Plus DC Rainmaker says hold off buying as there is some bit announcement of Friday at 12:01. No idea what it is, but could affect how you want to proceed.
Hahaha! Thanks for info...I think DH must have picked now to torture me with waiting :/ Soooo you love it? good! What do you think of size? That's my biggest "not sure". I don't wear a watch except for workouts, and it looks really big compared to my Polar. Does it feel cumbersome or in the way?

What does your PT say? I would tackle it a little different. I would work on building/keeping fit with lots of high intendity low impact stuff like aqua jogging (permitting it doesn't hurt knee) and biking and hit PT prescribed regard hard. I would worry about miles or time walking per se.

It is big, but I don't notice it at all when I wear it and I am a little thing . I wear it for both work outs and racing and have never had an issue with it getting in my way - like I said, I don't even notice it is there.

actually, I wear 2 watches on one wrist - my standard timex that I wear all the time and then the 310 behind it. I started doing that when I had the 205 (305 without heart rate option) because I could not get the fit tight enough on my wrist, so when I ran the 205 slid up and down a bit, bruising my hand near the thumb. Keeping my timex on stopped that from happening. I think the band on the 310 is such that I could wear it alone, but 2 watches is such a super cool kids look that I don't

My P2 came with cloth pads which I just recently replaced with the cushy cee gees cloth pad pads.

As far the cat, he had to stay overnight.

The poor guy was squatting every 2 minutes to pee and nothing was coming out. Apparently it can be pretty serious, especially for male cats, so we took him in.

I have not heard from them, which is good. I am supposed to call this afternoon.

 

I'm a terrible mom. He was making this hilarious mouth open face while at the vet so I took a picture. He looks pissed:
