Left.Right.Repeat - CLoSED for the season - will reopen Jan 2013 (Page 6)

Just got this bike yesterday and took it for a spin today to practice riding in aero position.  This is differently a new feel and one that I hope to get a feel for soon.  Really can't wait for the new seat to come in as my female parts are still numb from this afternoon.

Training starts for me tomorrow......there are only 181 days so lots need to be done.  Took the last 2 weeks off of exercising in hopes of my hamstring feeling better which it is not.  I also been gorging on all the fattening food I could get my hands on.  That ends tomorrow also.

I thought reality would set in a few days after I signed up for the IMKY but it really hasn't.  Do you think it is because I want it so bad that I know what I am getting myself into or that reality just hasn't set in yet?

Congrats on the bike Kathy!

Wow, gone a week and look at all what's happened!

Kathy congrats on a new bike and IMKY, let the training begin!

Sherpa Deb rocks a 26.2 and Bryan does 2 races in a weekend?  did I get that right?

Monte, hope your injury is on the mend

Maria, hope your feeling better and you were able to run your mile

I took a break last week, was traveling to Europe again. I did read a funny book: sex,lies and triathlon;  maybe that counts for something?  

On the plane to Minneapolis now where a snow storm may thwart my return tomorrow.  time to start rescheduling flights! 

Suzie, how are you doing?

Billy, still need to send you those soccer shoes.  Starting my part time status on March 1; you are on my list.

Ok, so yesturday I planned an easy 3.5 mile run, cuz I have my long run scheduled for today.  Had a great run. Felt so good (It was the day after a rest day. ) A guy friend I ride with in the summer asked if I wanted to ride outside. around 1pm yest.  I couldn't resist, riding outside with some one. I told him, I can't push cuz I have my long run tom (he doesn't run) I can never ride with him and not push cuz he is so much stronger than me but he rides with me anyway. We did an easyish 18 mile ride.  Of course I pushed a little.  I felt tight this morning.  Thought I would reschedule my long ride for Thursday but it is 45 and sunny today and supposed to pour on Thursday.  So,  I said all that to say, I did Jeff Galloway. I only have 3-4 mile short runs and one long run a week so I though I would give it a go.  I did 3:1.  It felt great!!  I immediately felt a difference.  I didn't get tight half way through.  I did feel any discomfort including HR ntil the last mile.  The knees ached a bit then but not bad at all. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!  I finished and finally got to the local run shop for new sneakers (Long over due) and I picked up compression socks for recovery.  I still feel better than ever.  so I should use this for 5 miles and more?  Training and races?

Also, I got the book out again and you are who I thought you were, the guy with the bad news from the doc.  I am hoping my husband will read it and get some inspiration.  I'm rereading the whole story. 

That's it for now!! Thanks again.

Good to see you again.  I have missed your somiling face.  Hope all is well.

ann

Hey Kathy,

I have bike envy.  Hope there is a new bike in my future but it looks more like next year.  You deserve it for your IMKY endeavor.  I'm also envious of that.  I hope I can get to IM some day!!  You truly are an inspiration.  Train hard.  You can do it!!

Miss you Suzie!!  I hope you are well.

ann

Okay Billy... I think there needs to be a 1 on 1 basketball game to 11 to decide who is doing Louisville with whom!!!  Ha...  (Making assumption that Tallchick has Game!! lmao)

Pam.. leg feels great...been taking it easy and slower (Bryan made me do it!! :-) )

Ann... you rocking the training!! run walk repeat... run walk repeat.. ha..

Lena.. 20 weeks and counting down!!!  whoo hooo....

Hope I can find a weekend with no kids activities in the next couple so that I can add a finish line.. even if it is only a 5k...

is it just me, or is it a bit harder to find this place and get to now?

I know, I know ..........

I'm so glad I was able to share some useful information on something other than chaffing.  (don't ask, my lips are sealed).

Man... Billy.... aren't we "multi-sport people"....

Man... Billy... aren't we "multi-sport people"... ha...

Fit.. thanks a bunch!!!! that will allow me to not get the 400 emails on every other thread each time!!! 

My training suffered this weekend because I was in Denver for 4 days for a volleyball tournament for my daughter.  I did manage to get in 2 runs on the hotel treadmill, but was a total slacker one day and after the volleyball was done for the day did a little sightseeing with my daughter.  I took her to a brew pub for lunch.  Aren't I a good mom?  HA!

Got in at midnight last night, so I'm tired today.  Yoga may be the only thing that gets done this evening.  Hopefully I'll catch up on sleep tonight and be back to the regular schedule tomorrow.

Big congrats to Deb on her first 26.2!

Coast, we can coast?  Nobody ever told me that!!
