Today, I have to drive up to New Jersey (tomorrow is a friend's wedding). So not going to help sore legs.

Still stiff from Thursday's 5k.  Thinking that the couch to 5k program in one day might be a little much for this old lady.  So happy that I was able to do it (and sub 12's!!).  Really renewed what I already know that running is my passion!! Definitely felt the 10lbs I've gained.  That is a lot of extra weight to haul around.  Gotta work on that. 

Artemis-great race report!!  Take care of those legs.  Those hills sounded treacherous!

Post Turkey Trot tradition.  Red wine earned to start the day before the craziness begins. 

 

And I figured out how to put a pic in a post, BOO YAH!!!

 

Awesome! You all have the right attitude. I love your running gear.

Ironman Training

Swim - well 2km in the ocean yesterday in unpredictable chop, you'd get a rhythm then get a random faceful of wave.  Excellent.  Water cold in spots and really warm in others - eewww!

Run - just back from a 17.7km run in blazing sunshine.  Felt good.  Met a friend unexpectedly so we did 6km of the return leg together, which was lovely.  That's two weeks in a row I've got out of my comfort zone and run with someone better than myself.  Both times I've loved it.  Time to run with a buddy.

Ride  - it's still the drainer all the way but man I've got some stamina!  Not up to 10 hours yet!!!

>blink< >blink< Wait, what? great....now I am awake. 

Just kidding...Though sleep does sound good....yup, on it! Good night!

It's all the tryptophan!  They'll wake up tomorrow.

I feel like I'm at the party on my lonesome!! hehe!

Nope, but it's just us British Empire folks...  Where's that Froggy fella been anyway?

He's dropped off the radar....I sent him a few inspires but I think he's hibernating.  he'll get back New Year's resolution time.

Another new avvie for you too!  I just hope Allen has successfully quit smoking.

I'm seriously sleeping about 12hrs a day right now.

I'm here. My mom is visiting, and we've all been suffering from a stomach virus. Not the best holiday we've ever had. But, we're all surviving and we're together, so that's what's important.

Yanti -- when do you start tapering? You have been knocking out some crazy training hours.

Chris -- enjoy your day off. You're a good son for helping your mom with the Christmas stuff.

Ann-Marie -- Congrats on the Notre Dame win. I should probably look to see how K-State has been doing . . . . nah.

Hello, manatees!!  For those that celebrated Thanksgiving, hopefully there wasn't TOO much overindulgence. I did OK until the filling got around. Sooooo good, and it's something I just don't make. Yumma yumma!! That and my normal kryptonite, aka mashed potatoes, were my main weaknesses and probably a bit too much of both landed on my plate. With gravy, of course.  Otherwise I behaved!

Sticks and Biscuits race report is up! Nothing too exciting to report, but it is here for your reading pleasure.  I was also able to get out in the 'yak on Friday before the evil winds and cold front came through.  Waaaay too windy and cold for biking Sat. and didn't really have time Sun. since my husband's niece stopped in with her baby to stay the night and visit.  The Bears (AHL) finally won Sunday evening, yay!! It was good to see a decent game after the travesty I saw there Wed.

Why would taking a Midol be bad? If it relieves the symptoms, from whatever cause, wouldn't that be good?

It just seems like regression. It has been nice to be done. Not taking it keeps me in denial.

Silly. I know.

Oh I love the word heaps, always reminds me of my study abroad in Australia, where I learned the phrase, "i reckon heaps."  Another fave - how you going?  And to you Miss Jo, for all that training - good on ya!

Maybe it's gas. Try a TUMS.
