Emmanem - 2010-11-23 1:01 AM I am so tired!!!  Ready to be done with school work... Remind me why I wanna go to Grad school???


Because it's way more fun than undergrad, the students are way more smarter , it's way less work, and if you attend and breathe in your classes you're pretty much guaranteed at least a B.

dimplespoo - 2010-11-23 12:28 AM Hey everyone -
Thought I would stop in and say Hello since I am not sure when the last time I was here.

Completed my first half mary yesterday. Ultimate goal was to finish which I did. Super goal was finish under 2:30 and I finished in 2:37 which was great considering the conditions. We were in the mid 70s on race day, 61% humidity and winds gusting to 20.  Gotta say for the "flat mary" that I was thinking I was doing, uphill for the first 1.5 miles, rolling hills through mile 8.5 I was far from flat.   Didn't walk until between mile 10 and 12 fighting the shot blocks to stay down. Realized late in the game that I need to think about salt for the next one. I don't know the first thing about it but I think I should have taken some yesterday since I was caked in it when I was finished. Still happy about the finish and will have to post my medal - it "spins".

Today - short 2 mile walk (slowly) and some core.  Thighs are a bit sore and my feet have numerous blisters on my toes even though I body glided, wore wicking socks and had 1/2 size larger shoes that weren't new on. Overall not that bad.. Hubby even offered to train and run my next one with me. I love him for the offer since he ISN'T the running type.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Stacie


CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A really short bike in PT followed by another run.  Tomorrow is a swim in the morning, some strength work at lunch and PT which will have more strengthening and a longer ride.

 

No on hill work yet......but I can take it up in intensity some.

I got a bike ride in yesterday and got some cold weather challenge points. Earlier in the day I was all excited to get more points on a run but by the time I got home last night at 9:30 (after starting work at 5) and needing to start work at 5 again today, it just didn't happen. I hope to be awake enough this afternoon  to get out and do another ride and to go running after work. It might be tough to start work at 5 but it sure is nice to finish up at 2 (as long as thing go ok). I don't know if I could do it every day though.

QueenZipp - 2010-11-21 7:22 PM I swam tonight and realized that the same set would have been 15-20 minutes longer just a year or so ago.  Guess my forced swi focus is helping something.


I bet during 2011 triathlons you will be happy about this forced swim focus when you're shattering your old records!

About to head to my last class before thanksgiving break.  I have some major work to do one my goals but I wanted to adjust them to account for the pool being closed on days I had scheduled workouts and my calf being cranky so I didnt jump rope... Is it ok if I change to 7000y swimming and 150 minutes jump rope??
