SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 61)

You looking for a phone number or email address?

First half day on the new job and here I am again on BT. Actually lunch time and they have a facebook room for this kind of activity. I didn't get my bike ride in yesterday as felt crappy. Not sure if it was flu or nerves over having to work again   It's going to be weird getting my training set up now. It was so easy before I could go anytime. Now I leave at  6:00 am and don't get home till almost 7:00PM. Going to see if I can get an earlier shift and get home earlier.

Congrats to everyone who raced this past weekend. I trust everyone was happy with their results.

What an awesome bunch of races this weekend!  Much better than hanging out of my wife's family at an out of state wedding.

I need to get back on the wagon.  I would have yesterday, but had a tree issue.  Dead Pin Oak in the front yard.  Nursery called and our replacement was ready.  Neighbor agreed to bring his backhoe down so I couldn't pass on that - so training goes out the window.  BTW, before anyone gets on me about needing a backhoe, I plant big trees.  These two trees (the dead one and new one) are about 25 ft tall and have 6" trunks.

I do have to make one direct comment about Adam's 5k race report.  He said he would be happy with a 21-22 minute 5k.  The only hope I ever have of a 21 minute 5k is if he and I are doing a 5k relay and he runs both legs of it. 

Anyhow, sounds like everyone had an awesome weekend.

Hey Team Shi - any good news out there?  I am saving my 5K run for last so that I can post my PR!  I will hit the swimming and biking over the long weekend.

Hope everyone is hard at work

I am sitting at an open air internet cafe sipping on a pineapple iced tea reading about all of your awesome weekends...and trying to figure out the spam thing but oh well, it's slipped by me somehow.  Personally had a great weekend before leaving on vacation with a 9 mile run Sat morning and a 40 mile bike on Sunday.  Ran today along the beach and up to Diamond Head, omg it's beautiful, warm and breezy at 6 am!  Ran the last 3.1m of my run in 25 minutes, but I don't think I want to post that!  I'm going to wait til  later in the week, when I've acclimated to the heat here!

Holly, you did so great to stick with it and finish the swim.  I had a similar experience and it really was hard to get settled down for the bike, let alone the run!  Way to go and it only gets better with experience  

Have a great day, all!

Kim, thanks for thinking of us little people while you're out there living the good life

Tony, could you make the spreadsheets so that one column holds minutes and one holds seconds.  It would probably make the resulting math much easier in the end.

Jeremy, have you ever had a "Dirty Bastard" beer (it's a real beer)?  Good stuff, but will kick you in the teeth.

Steve, good to be back.  Had a great run last night.  I knew I had to run, but my daughter's softball game was going to interfere.  So I wore my running stuff to her game to run back.  Then her coach announces he is buying Dairy Queen for kids and parents.  I really had a dilemma now...  I met my wife and kids at home 40 minutes later - me sweaty and drinking a gatorade.  Them finishing their cones dipped in chocolate.  Made the run that much better knowing what I gave up for the sake of fitness.

Actually driving part way and taking a train the balance. Not too bad. I wouldn't drive all the way into Toronto during rush hour. I might do some harm to somebody.
