Not sure if I'm excited or a little afraid of them--probably some of both! |

Member 3149 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Crazy weekend around here and it is leading right into a crazy week. Last weekend, my wife's grandmother had a minor stroke. She is doing relatively well, all things considered, but is in the hospital for rehab and will likely be there for another couple of weeks. C went up to spend the weekend with her parents and help relieve her mother of the burden of spending all day at the hospital. Leaves me with all the house and yard work (not complaining, just explaining). We are still trying to catch up from C starting a new job about four weeks ago, which is a big change for us since prior to that she had spent five years at home. Easing into this week we have an impromptu visit from my parents today and tomorrow, followed by a research competition for my students on Tuesday. Saturday: Long run (1:30)--this one sucked. Gotta figure out hydration, which I think is probably going to mean stop drinking coffee before my long Saturday runs! I don't know about that though, without coffee I'm liable to get myself lost in my own driveway--brain doesn't work so well before the coffee. (#129) Sunday: rest day Monday: started off with a short run (45 minutes) followed by 15 minutes of yoga (#130). Will squeeze in a swim at lunch. |

Let's keep it up people - the season is right around the corner! I have the same book on my bedside... I agree - the weekend workouts are long but since the book is for time crushed people - the plan gets it's moneys worth out of Saturdays and sundays! Edited by Qua17 2016-04-04 9:29 AM |

Member 220 Wakefield, Massachusetts | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Got in a back, arms, and leg workout this weekend, all without leaving the backyard. After 70 degrees on Friday, it's snowing today (why not, it's April?), so today's run will have to be on the treadmill. Blech.

If so - it's game on today against my beloved Indians. Good luck - Price vs. Kluber - doesn't get much better! Question of the day - who wins the World Series this year! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Originally posted by jmhpsu93 Hey, BDASers. Just finished a weekend of attempting to relive my youth with a bunch of college buddies as one of them got married. I've determined that Jamison's is a bad idea. :-/ Ended my recovery week which had morphed into "doing nothing at all". Short lunch run today and then swim practice tonight with some weights thrown in. Happy Monday! Been there and done that... I like Jamison's as Irish Whiskey's go but nothing holds up when when youre drinking like your 20 again. Feels better soo - enjoy the pool and the weights! |

Member 220 Wakefield, Massachusetts | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Originally posted by Qua17 Question of the day - who wins the World Series this year! Sadly probably not the Sox. I haven't really followed the team in years (too much else going on), but to the extent that I care about professional sports, I'm a Sox fan. And yes, picture upload fail. Apparently you have to do more than hit the little picture icon and add your directory path? What am I missing? Figured it out. Apparently it works as an attachment, but not when you insert the picture. Edited by Fourteenkittens 2016-04-04 2:00 PM |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Originally posted by aviatrix802 30 minutes on the elliptical! Yay! I'm trying things in lieu of running for my back. Starting back slow - want to see how the back handles it. I could have gone for another 30 easily but don't want to crank the back again. Tomorrow I'll go with the bike again - maybe 45 minutes this time on the roadie. It felt SO good to go to the gym today and do something!! I have been a caged animal the past week and a half. I'm praying for no increased pain/tightness. Smiling here! SO glad to hear it. Nothing sucks more than being sidelined and I'm glad to have you back in the game. Don't worry - you've got plenty of time to train for IMMT. I would saw the key right now si spending as much time as possible on the bike. It's the toughest part of the course and since you can get on yours - it's the best way of making progress. You will do this and the poutine they will hand you when you cross the finish line will be heaven on earth! No seriously - it' will make 140.6 totally worth it! So too will fist pumping Mike Riley! |

I'm actually with Gretchen on the Cubs, though I think my local O's are a little underrated and could make some noise if their pitching holds together. |

New user 669 Madrid | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open That´s the point, looong weekends, when you have no time during the week - I can take 4-5 hours on Sat morning (8 to 12/13pm) - rest of the days is 1 to 1.30h, max 2h which is a LOT for a busy life like any of us. Sunday 15km run - today 2500m swim..... race season is here already. Juan |

Peanut butter is my go-to option lately, on a good piece of toasted homemade bread. The weight equation is interesting - I know it's probably generalized - it puts me below the "safe" range...the bottom of my safe range is 126 which honestly has been about where I've always lived my life since high school. My race weight dropped me down to 118 last summer but I may need to get more calories in. This is where that thing Gretchen did with her nutritionist comes in handy. When I read what some of the pros eat - or claim to, it's really not that much food in their daily diet. I was pretty surprised. |

Juan Bricks stink - that's why we have to practice them....so we hate it less in the race. hahaha |

| 1941 , Vermont | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open Originally posted by drfoodlove IronFit Secrets for the Half-Iron Distance Triathlon Success Don and Melanie Fink, 2014 Really great summary, Gretchen. I may piggy-back off of yours with the full IM version of the same book if that's okay with you. It looks like a bunch of it is the same - training with time, not miles, etc. probably until we get to the plans. |

| 1941 , Vermont | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society (BDAS) - Open 45 minutes on an elliptical free-strider - not to be confused with the regular elliptical. I must have looked like a buffoon on that thing. It took a while to get my legs going the right way. hahaha. I had hoped for an hour but it's different enough from the regular elliptical that I wasn't comfortable on it (couldn't stay in zone 2 - always in zone 3) - my right arch started to hurt toward the end so I clipped it short at 45 minutes - covered 5.1 "miles" and it felt like it - no fan and stuck in the corner, I sweat like it was mid-August in Louisiana. Yesterday I biked on my roadie until my back got tired - so 1:13 in zone 2. It's feeling good to do something. I went to the chiropractor today but don't feel any different yet. My PT has been in contact via email, checking in and urging me to do my stretches/exercises a few times a day as time allows. He did say I can try a short, easy swim to see how it goes. - I'll probably forego the flip turns.  No snow here, but it was 14 degrees when I got up this morning.  |
