Awesome news, Barry... My husband is battling a hamstring injury that also played a part in his back going out this past weekend. He's working, for the first time, with a true sports PT (who specialized in triathletes!) on all of the problems that contributed to both the hamstring issue and the back. The guy overseeing all of his care said he was a ticking time bomb and on a collision course and was lucky he hadn't had worse injuries sooner.

Now my husband is turning to me for motivation tricks to make himself do his exercises. HTFU, Just Do It, and "How'd you enjoy spending Thanksgiving immobilized in bed," aren't working so well, ha ha!! I reminded him no one would do it for him, and that if he wanted to be running again and remain injury-free, he needed to do this work. Maybe I'll fire up some Foo Fighters for him!!

love the picture - great job!!!   And fun for Kyla chasing him!!! 

dalessit - 2010-12-03 9:23 AM Any on the ground reports from Vegas today?  How is the weather.

With no heat in the house right now I would like to live vicariously through people that are in warm weather.

Assuming you guys are having similar weather as we are having here in NC you have got to be freezing.

dalessit - 2010-12-03 6:17 AM

Agree, very cool picture, but what's he wearing on his feet?

gdctex - 2010-12-03 6:32 AM Thanks for all the inspires for my race this weekend.  I am looking forward to it, but a bit nervous trying to figure out stuff like what to wear (going to be in the 40's at race start), wear a fuel belt or not?, pacing, etc, etc, etc.

Good luck to the Vegas racers.....both in the casinos and on the race course!

Great pic Kyla!  That is great shot and a wonderful memory.

kkcbelle - 2010-12-02 12:06 PM Real question!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a bunch of good interval-based trainer workouts for later on when I am training more intensely on the bike, but for now I am just riding about one time a week, for about an hour, mostly for x-training/recovery. I'm just wondering if you guys have some favorite workouts for the lower-level trainer rides?

Currently most of the time I just warm up, do some single-leg drills (1 min. left/1 min. both/1 min. right/1 min. both), some spin-ups (2 min. @90 cadence/2 min. @100 cadence/1 min. @110 cadence), and some overgear work (2 min. @90 cadence/2 min. overgear [slower cadence]/1 min. standing). I usually listen to the radio, so sometimes I'll just do a DJ's special and ride to the beat of various songs -- keeping it as easy or as hard as I feel at the time. That's kinda fun.

What do you do for 60-90 min. on the trainer when you don't really care as much about intensity???

40's is definitely capri weather.

I always carry some fuel for races. Lately it's in the form of Gu Chomps and I just keep 'em in a pocket or hold 'em in my hand. I take water from the course.

You will do GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fattyfatfat - 2010-12-03 8:30 AM freezing cold outside! but i am currently at 42,000 feet.  we're bouncing around a bit...  I HATE FLYING!!!!   i've been in the middle of a hurricane in the south atlantic and was fine...  but flying... oooooffff!!!!

  Speaking of cold, it was -2F WC here today and we have 6" of snow on the way tonight.  I knew it would eventually get here (blech!)

badgerintx - 2010-12-03 1:07 PM

And I got to run this morning at O-dark-thirty!  No complaints about the weather because I was just happy to be cleared again to begin to run whenever I wanted from my minor tendinitis   .... makes me realize that I don't know how anybody handles being severely injured and not being able to train (thinking of ya Doug!).  Still no intervals or downhills for me but a solid 4+ mile effort on one of my favorite paths through the park.

AND IT WAS COLD....but I HTFU (just for you Suzy) and got it done!!!  Still much better than running on any dreadmill!

Anybody know why I always get a cold A$$ when running outside when the temps dip below freezing?????? It doesn't seem to matter what I wear, if I over or under-dress, my A$$ is always freezing at about mile 2?  Some scientific reason for this??

 

SSMinnow - 2010-12-03 2:27 PM

I've always heard that muscle stays a lot warmer than fat....

It seems that I am being called a FAT-A$$?!  I often fit the name calling bill on lots of differetn fronts, but not that one.  At 6'0 173 lbs I am staill actually tring to put on weight and certainly don't have any there!!! 

  Thanks for thinking of me though!!!!
