swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! (Page 58)

yeah.  not good, scary.  a bit worried about the kiddos at school.  all good now. 

finally got around to buying some ironman perform.  its pretty good.  of course i eat bowls of sauerkraut and grey poup so that may not mean much.  not as expensive as i thought either.  it's be nice to live off the course in may. 

sophie runs faster than i do.  lovely.

November's totals:
Bike:	8h 14m  - 132 Mi
Run:	9h 49m 41s  - 57 Mi

NOTE TO SELF:  Was feeling pretty good about kicking Suzy's A$$ on the run till I saw her bike

TREVOR:  You are the man!

Tony: " I think HTFU is valid sometimes.  (and I know Barry was just joking) "  I wasn't joking.

Kim:  Pretty freakin SOLID month!

Kyla:  That 30m of walking was the cherry on top for 165m run.

John:  I'm in ATL Thurs in Midtown for an ART therapy session on my wheels...want to grab some
           Lunch?

PS:  I just put together a KILLER leftover turkey pie.
PSS:  I did my 20min. short run today in the POURING rain = serious HTFU

On a serious note:

I have a training question.  Right now I am trying to run frequently while dancing around my ITB and lower back tightness.  My right leg and lower right side of my back has been really tight w hen running, and I don't want to over do it, so I  have been trying to get back into it really slowly.

With some guidance from Ryan, I have started trying to run about 6 times a week, the plan Ryan and I were working on consisted of 3 miles a day, and I think that was putting a little strain on the leg.  Getting ART Thursday, so maybe that will help some.

Looking at BarryP from ST plan (similar to what ryan and I were talking about) which takes the same mileage I was doing, but incorporates 3 EASY days and adds a long day (with the same mileage ...but increasing 10% per week...spread over all the runs.  I am thinking or hoping the easy days will help the leg issue.

My question>  should I throw in my 2 to 3 bike days in the out season on my easy days or my 2 med run days?  Does it matter?

Good job on the rain running! Now, let's see that turkey pie recipe! I made two turkeys just to have the leftovers... was planning a turkey pot pie and would love to see your recipe!! I have a HUGE pot of stock made up for some soup (and for freezing for future recipes). We're still happy with turkey sandos and Thanksgiving leftovers for another day or two.

no

that's why the little face is screaming!!!  and fwiw, i am pretty sure he was referring to dreaming about me, not you. 

ahhh!!!  sucks!   next time.   sending the kiddos to the mil thursday for the vegas trip.  

wait, what?

What??? You reach out to us now since Ryan hasn't replied to an email in 45 minutes?  WEAK! 

Seriously though if you running is by far your weakest event why not stick to it and grow stronger?  If you are feeling like biking may be the weakest then definitely add those on board!  (Plus it may be a nice break on your IT BAND)

Whats the "O"word?

fwiw age has nothing to do with it

yeah, there are plenty of old tall people...

Rather a pathetic month, actually.  Helps to remind myself that the mary was on the last day of October - then I really look at some of your run logs and cringe.  ah, well.

As for the rest of the last 2 pages, I've been laughing pretty hard. 
Sympathies to those that can't decipher the "O" word.
Jealous of all of those traveling to Vegas.

Sharks are on TV, and I have presents to wrap.

WooHoo!!!   change of plans...ski weekend just got cancelled, oldest boy just got picked for the all-CCS water polo team, to play in the all-star game.  VERY EXCITING.....except that I won't be skiing in a nice storm, I'll be sitting on a pool deck with lots of rain.  WORTH IT!!  One Happy Boy!!

/brag off.  sorry.

that's awesome linda!!!  congrats!

trev go ask your daughters about veruca salt and not the band. 

i'm racing this weekend, just not sure how i'm going to approach this.  but more importantly i'll be sitting in a bar at some point with kim, trev, kelli, dj, hopefully chet!!!!

Congrats Linda.  That is exciting news!

Still sticking to the plan that Ryan suggested of running every day...just cutting 3 of those days back a bit to get the leg a little more rest, as I think it was stressing.

Do you think I should stay off the bike totally for a while?  My intentions is to definitely not focus on the bike, but to ride 2 to 3 hrs a week ... I guess i am feeling that as little as I am running (less than 20) right now, that I should be doing something else to build.  20 miles not keeping me busy enough.  If I do ride, should I ride on my easy run day or let that be a GOOD rest day.

No racing this weekend.  Jealous of the Vegas folks.  :-)

And of course, we need to keep this up even though I've been a little MIA lately.  But there is always someone to hassle and Rev3 will be here before you know it.
