Extreme Veteran  552   Wesley Chapel, Florida |  Subject: RE: TriAya (Yanti) and lmscozz (Lynn), Manatee Mentors--FULL!Yanti, crossing threads, but thanks for your confidence in my ability to do an iron-distance swim! lol I don't have much confidence in my swim ability right now at all, truth be told, which is I think why I basically haven't been in the pool since i did the race back in May. I think I was scared more than I realized by the way I flailed through that swim. Oy. I do have to brag to the Manatees about my swim buddy, though. Back in Jan of last year when I started swimming, I met here on BT a gal who was getting back into the pool after a long absence in hopes of racing iron distance, and was looking for a swimming partner at our local Y. I was so intimiadated by the thought of me, fat, outta shape me, trying to keep up with an accomplished marathoner and cyclist. Thank God it was in the pool! Anyway, she turned out to be a great training partner -- it's easy to train with someone who has a different ability in two lanes in the pool, but we really got each other started, and she pushed me hard and I like to think I pushed her a little bit too. She turned out to be a fabulous triathlon mentor, and has become a friend, too. And this weekend, she accomplished her dream of completing an iron distance race. Except she didn't just complete it, she absolutely rocked it! She was the 5th place woman overall at the Great Floridian Ultra. And I am so dang proud, I had to share! Big props to KC (KCinTampa here on BT). |

Extreme Veteran 612 Chicago-ish | Subject: RE: TriAya (Yanti) and lmscozz (Lynn), Manatee Mentors--FULL! Dineen - You do rock. Never set your expectations for yourself based on others. I didn't say this in the other thread for fear of being flogged, but why should I be impressed by a guy who takes our sport so lightly that he did it with no training and finished faster than a lot of people here would even after training for years? IMO it's mocking those of us who work so hard for the minute gains we accomplish. I'm not impressed by him at all. I'm astounded and speechless when I see all the men and women on these boards who get up off their couches and make a decision to change their lives by getting active and becoming fit. Those are the people that I will cheer for and encourage and tip my hat to because they're doing things they never believed were possible. They are the superstars of triathlon. That includes you even if you never finish an Ironman. |

Extreme Veteran 612 Chicago-ish | Subject: RE: TriAya (Yanti) and lmscozz (Lynn), Manatee Mentors--FULL! I've now seen the chiropractor 3x and she says my ankle is 50-60% healed. She was impressed by my self-diagnosis and even more that I got in to see her before it became a serious problem. She let me do 3 miles over the weekend which didn't stop the healing progress so I'm not cleared to run every other day this week up to 4 miles and I have the go ahead to do the 5k with Ellie on Saturday. It's just a good thing she runs slower than me  So now I'm trying to figure out a plan that will get me to the HM next month ready to go. If I can do 4 runs the next two week then 5 each week until November 27th, how long are those runs going to need to be? |

BRAVO, Allison!! Well said. Not sure what "other" thread you're referring to because I don't venture out among the sharks too much.

Very glad you got to see a Dr. and have a plan with runs leading up to the 5K. Yanti may have something, but I just read an article about jumping back into training after injury. It was written mostly for the full marathon, but you could use the same basic strategy which was the long run is the most important run so make sure you get that in once a week. I think the longest run I did before my first HM was 10 miles. I always figured I could walk if I needed to. I would be careful about any striders or speed or interval work and focus on feeling strong and getting the long run in, remember not increasing by more than 10% per week to avoid further or aggravating the injury. If I see or think of anything else I'll add later gotta get to work right now. |

Went to Albuquerque on Friday morning and got back last night, exhausted. My FIL got married and DD was the flower girl. ABQ is just heartbreakingly beautiful...the wedding was held at The Tamaya Hayatt...it's kind of half way between ABQ and Santa Fe...got one nice run in on the dirt trails around the resort...it was quite a treat for this urban runner! Here's a couple of pix...    |

Ran most of our first marathon together. In any case the city was full of goooooood vibes with both of you there. |

Veteran 458 Greensburg, PA | Subject: RE: TriAya (Yanti) and lmscozz (Lynn), Manatee Mentors--FULL! Hi everyone! Remember me? I realize that this mentor time is almost over, but I just wanted you all to know that I am still here!! The end of my summer got crazy. After our vacation, my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, but she is now doing great and finishes her treatment on Wednesday! I haven't really had much else on my mind, and I have quickly regressed to couch potato!! What do you do to get back on track? I am signed up for a HM in May, so hoping to be good for that. I had thought about a HIM in September, but I think I will wait and see how my winter goes. I guess that is a long way off yet! I could never get caught up with everyone, so I will just say that I hope everyone is doing well! Karen |

I will pray for her and your family! This group of Manatees plans to stick around for a while yet, so no worries. Several of us have had quite some adventures--all of us, actually. I'm pretty much couch potatoed, too, although like you not so much by choice. My first scheduled stuff is in May as well. |

Extreme Veteran 612 Chicago-ish | Subject: RE: TriAya (Yanti) and lmscozz (Lynn), Manatee Mentors--FULL! Still here. Haven't been outside in a couple days. The family got struck by the stomach flu and it hasn't been pretty. In fact, it's so ugly we might not have to dress up for Halloween to go as zombie monsters. Blech! Anyway, we're recovering but even with the doc's permission to run I haven't been out since Sunday. I'm really not sure I'm going to be able to do this HM in 31 days. I just don't have the mileage and I don't want to register for something knowing that I'm going to walk the last several miles. So I've started looking further off for other races. Sadly this is the last HM of the year in our area. I did find a race in Milwaukee in January that I'm considering. It's an indoor half marathon doing 47.7 laps on a 443 meter track. They run two races back to back and limit each field to 120 runners. The first race has a time limit of 2 hours, anyone not done by then is cleared off so they can start the next race. The second race has a 3 hours limit which I know I can do. I hate making decisions! |

Oh this is weird, I missed the last few posts...usually you guys are allowed into my email, but I guess you've been thrown out...off to reset that. Stand by for the 2010 pix of the amandas...daddy has a new wig which more closely approximates my hair. We are all about authenticity. I mean after correcting for the fact that one of the twins doesn't really have real "twins." Har har. I have been on a workout strike. I mean NOTHING. I think I needed to slack off for a couple of days. Feels good. Except that it feels sluggish. I cannot believe I am just going to go out and do a HM on Sunday. I am an idiot! Allison, I am SO sorry to hear about the stomach flu...nothing worse for a family...sooner or later, everyone has the "dual nozzle failure" if ya get my drift. Ick. We've been lucky so far, but I know it's inevitable. We DID get flu shots today, I especially enjoyed holding my daughter down so the poor tech could give her a shot. She's usually so cooperative, but I think all the halloween candy from school (that I let her eat because I felt bad about making her get a shot) made her CRAZY. The boy just screamed from start to finish...he HATED the CVS pharmacy and wanted to leave right away, but really, who doesn't??? Q |
