Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() carrie1 - 2008-06-04 3:31 AM I have a short swim on tap for lunch today and a 30ish minute run with my sister this evening. I didn't sleep well at all today. Work, swim, work, run, shower, bed...That's how it's going to happen today :-) I'm jealous - would love to have my sister run with me! She's only 20-25 mins away but with both of us moms of two, get togethers are challenging if not kid focussed. And I'm totally with you on the sleep task, my hubby complains I go to bed when the kids do... I do, I'm tired! |

I have been begging her to run for years now, but she's been pregnant for the past five years. She finds it tough to organize the run with the kids. I usually end up pushing one of them in the stroller and her husband is on duty 3 days a week for about a half hour. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() well, tonight I'm off to bike with my muddy buddy! We'll decide whose bike to use Sunday and ride a trail for a bit to see how well/poorly matched these ol'mamas are! I'm thinking to get int a run too while I'm away from the house, we'll see if I fit that in. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hi everyone! Sorry I've been sorta MIA lately, wasn't feeling well for a few days, but I'm back. I got in a yoga session, a bike, and a swim today. Does anyone know if it's too late to change our goals? I don't want to reduce them, just change them to distance rather than time. I'm working on my speed and I realized I would be more motivated to go faster if I wasn't trying to get in a full hour etc. Great training everyone! GO AVATAR AVENGERS! |

Have you tried changing them on the spread sheet yourself? I saw your other post and the end result isn't going to change is it, just the way you measure it? I can't see that anyone would have a problem with that, surely. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() hey team, I need to update my numbers - I had a FUN!!! evening I met with my muddy buddy to practice mtn biking. She is a bit more timid than me but i thnk we'll do fine - I MIGHT get some trail rest waiting for her to catchup - hard to say, she's in gym shape, we'll see how it translates! But she was late/lost getting to our meeting spot so I got to run some hills. You know, I ran cross-country and highschool and I think I forgot until just right now, how much I loved the hilly courses. hills rock! snicker. OK, I did have fun working the hills tonight, we'll see how my enthusiasm continues! Tomorrow swimming - both at the pool and the cesspool. Wish me a hive-free experience - no wetsuit this time and I'll plan on changing right afterwards. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OK... I went ahead and changed it on the spreadsheet, if it's a problem let me know and I will change it back. |

Here's wishing you a hive free experience |

OK, I did have fun working the hills tonight, we'll see how my enthusiasm continues! I'm with you -- I love hills! Flats are OK, but I've figured out that they're brutal on my legs. I have no idea what to expect from Muddy Buddy -- my teammate is supplying the bike, and, um, it's possible I've never actually ridden a mountain bike on a trail. Should be interesting, at least. But whatever, I'm just doing it for fun. Tonight I bought our "costumes"! Are you guys dressing up at all? I changed my challenge goals today -- I realized I'd set my bike goals way too low (forgot I'm still training for a tri next week, heh) and I decided to up the swim goal a little and throw in a run goal. Hope I don't regret it! |

I hope my sister eventually wants to dabble in triathlons. Right now I'm just glad she's out running. I've been trying to get her to play on my soccer team. She was a freakin' awesome player until she stopped after high school. She has an interest but she also has a somewhat uncooperative husband |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I got an hour run in this morning. It was a little tougher than I had expected. My legs were a little sluggish, but overall I felt good. It's my easy/rest week this week. I've noticed that I don't start to feel refreshed or rested until the end of the easy week/beginning of the next week. Then it all starts all over again |

My husband thinks it is the sexiest thing I've ever done. When I need some new gear, he might teasingly complain, but that is it. I just call him my sugar daddy; he laughs. I am careful, though, not to confuse 'need' with 'want'. |

Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() My husband just rolls his eyes at me and thinks it is amusing. He will not train with me but he does stay at home with the kids so I can train. But I train at 8:30pm so the kids are asleep and he gets to watch whatever he wants on TV. I think he likes that setup. ![]() Tonight I have a 3 mile run followed by a 39 minute swim. |
