swbkrun's group - FULL (Page 64)

I had one of the Asics Gel versions and switched to the brooks Glycerin, honestly I can't tell much of a difference really, though I am only up to running 7 miles at a time so will see when I start my 1/2 mary and marathon training.

Hehe, Atheletic supporter...

So here are my 2008 totals so far

Should hit 1k on the bike today

There are some 10 weeks left in the year

So I need about 3KM per week swimming to hit 100k and only 4.5 miles per week to hit 300, started logging my workouts the last week in March of this year.

Which should hopefully have me end up at 1k miles, 100,000M and 300M for the year, need to really pick up those running miles next year.

Feel pretty good about myself with those numbers from really doing nothing at all last year.

I'd have to say those numbers look pretty good.  In fact, they're very similar to my totals - you've got me in actual bike miles, but we're basically even in bike time (bike, spin, mt bike).  I started logging workouts in February and my totals for last year would have been all goose eggs.

We started this group in April, and MY GOODNESS everyone has come so far!!  Hopefully everyone has had some GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!

For me this year I think that I have become a stronger cyclist, and a MUCH better runner (this was a goal of mine this year).... Last year to run an 8:30 mile was me pushing it....

Congrats to all...

I completely agree that there are some impressive accomplishments within this group and it is all very inspiring.  When I started training, I just thought that doing a tri sounded like fun - not sure why, I didn't like running, hadn't ever swam laps/distance and didn't have a road bike.  Then one day I said it out loud, luckily only my wife heard me   Boy was she surprised when I bought some swim trunks (as opposed to the board shorts I'd always worn) and started swimming at the gym.

Now I've done a couple tri's, finished a half marathon and am trying to figure out if I can squeeze in enough training with a new addition to the family to do a HIM in September .  I've learned a lot from this group and have definitely felt encouragement and support as well.  Thank you for that! 

Here's hoping a year from now our thread is at the top of the 'mentor archive' forum- Cheers.

btw - I felt the baby move for the first time today, very exciting.  We find out on Tuesday if we're having a boy or a girl.

Matt that is so exciting!!!

I too agree with how much this group's support has helped me in my training. To be honest there have been so many times when I didn't want to get out there but I was embarassed to have blank training logs so I was guilted into it.  That is a good thing.  I talk about BT and you guys all the time.  I've even had friends ask me to post their questions to the group.  Being involved in our group has really changed the triathlon experience for me. Even though this is an individual sport it is something I can share with all of you and it makes it much more personal.  AND I WOULD BE VERY SAD IF THE TRACY BASHING EVER STOPPED - BRING IT ON!!! Where would you guys be if you didn't have someone to pick on?  I guess you would still be talking about Steve's nose zit!  

****LEAVE MY ZIT OUT OF THIS!!!****  Those days were a tough couple days.  It was touch and go for awhile!!!  But I survived!  . 

MATT HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!!!!!!!  KEEP US POSTED!!!!!

Also goes to show that putting the time in on the bike doesn't damage you too much down there...

WHERE????

You KNOW!!! DOWN "THERE"

Open attachment!!

Very afraid to at work...

Fixed that for you.

Thank you for my grammar correction !!!  Was  never good in English...

See you can over hydrate!

I agree..

Yeah steve I read that.  If you are on SlowTwitch at all Jodi posted her medical tent report from Kona and over-hydrating was one of the things she talked about.

Also, after 2 weeks of e-mails I believe my computrainer is finally on it's way to my house.  When I get it up and running I will brag how much I paid for it.

That is where I saw the article... Was reading Jodi's Blog.  Crazy!

Please don't let us know what kind of good deal you got on the computrainer.... We have 2 of them, and I don't need to know what "good deals" are out there, and frustrate me!!!  Congrats though!  There is a lot you can do with them!!!!!!!!

Well I didn't want to jinx myself since I don't physically have it in hand and verified that it actually works. 

Craigslist search tools are very nice, you can find things at a much cheaper price from ones in smaller towns vs. the big DC, Seattle, Atlanta, etc ones.

Also, just making sure everyone here knew about chainlove.

www.chainlove.com

They sell one item at a time at drastically reduced prices.  I am on there all day looking to find something I need pop up.  They have a little program you can install on your desktop that pops up every time a new item is for sale.
