Thanks Neal.  It was fairly quiet in here besides Stacie's problems and her cool 13 year old b-day conversation over DQ blizzards which she did not share

hey GHOULIES.

just got back from my group run.

first.  tri folk are just uber cool!

second.  The Spirit of Pittsburgh course is just uber cool too!

ran 9 miles.  this was the distance on my plan.  and i follow the plan 

walked 3.7 BRISKLY and then JOGGED the final .4 back to finish the course.


question for you?

should i just log the 9 miles....or can i log 13.1 (we completed the entire 1/2 MARY course)

im pretty sure that ill be over by the end of the week anyways what w a 4 miler, a 3 miler w 8x100 yd striders and 1-2 miler, so its not a issue of needing the extra mileage....

THOUGH the extra mileage may help this week in the challenge results.

i just didnt know what 'counted' and what didnt??

im OK either way.

please advise.

Quick evening walk by.  Got another Aqua Jogging session in so I will definitely make 100% by months end

Did some strength work and rode my bike on a flat run (but windy) while my son was warming up for his football game.

His team made the playoffs so we go another week of practice and first game is next Saturday at the local high school - the kids are psyched about this!

Have a great evening and chat with you tomorrow!

skrtrnr - 2009-10-26 7:33 AM MORNING GHOULIES.

just a quick fly by then off to the Y....

takin it easy this week.

ITS TAPER TIME.

YAHOO!

short (makeup) swim, nice slow easy.

4 mile run, which im really looking forward to.

you get to this point in your training, and can just settle into the fact that you've trained well.  i realy take this time to reflect back and i always end up having some of the 'best' runs during taper week.

feels like the 'pressure' is 'off' you know.

all the hardwork is done.  its just mentally getting yourself ready to race.

just go and let your body take over. 

yay!



i was thinking about 'dedicating' each mile to someone/something that im grateful for...

of course the members of my family rank up there in the top 4, so im gonna dedicate a mile to my husband, and each one of my sons.

im sure to dedicate a mile to my new formed TRI CLUB.

but i wanted you all to know that im gonna dedicate at least one mile if not several to each of you my GHOULIE teammies.

this has been a GREAT challenge to do with THIS particular group.  i dunno, we seem to really 'jive' well together. 

maybe it was just the 'season' i was in, what i 'needed' from a team, but i really, really have had one of the BEST times on a challenge team since participating in challenges here on BT.

second only to the time i was on a team w Julesy and Deeders and Phil for the first time. now THAT was a FUN time...i dont even know what challenge it was....then there was the infamous boys vs girls swim challenge.  GOOD TIMES!

so im not sure what mile you get, ill let you know, but i just wanted to take a moment and tell you how GRATEFUL i am for each one of you.

you have encouraged me and inspired me in ways that im sure your not even aware.

and you've certainly made this 1/2 MARY trng process MUCH more pleasant and 'doable'....

love ya GHOULIES.  i FOUND MY VILLAGE!

mwah!
