Bootie-lishous

Matt, Be patient when putting your botties on-they can tear pretty easy.  Also, don't walk around too much in them-the toes can wear out.  Now you get out there and RIDE!

so sorry about the dog Anne, but new carpet is great.

I'm just trying to get my runs in, still battling a cough that I can't get rid of.  We leave Sunday for a few more days of skiing this time in WV.  Once I get back I'm hoping for decent weather and to be able to get back on a schedule and stick to it.  Only 11 weeks until my half, it's time to get serious.

I think I have picked my first tri that I"m going to do.  It's July 12 and it's a sprint.  I'm going to add back in a couple days a week of swimming until the 1/2 is over and then I'll spend about 2 months focusing on adding Brick workouts and biking etc.

Anne, I'm sorry about your dog.  It is sad when our pets aren't well.  They are so precious to us.

I'm sorry but ick to draining goop all over the house, ick, ick, ick, just saying. 

Look at the training plans on BT and see if there is something you like.  I might be able to cut and paste a plan and send it to you, if its a siver/gold plan.  

I am still a little sore after training this week.  I am taking tonight off and will do some strength training and a run in the morning.  I am going to a spin class on Sat.  1st time on a bike in FOREVER!!  Kudos to all of you who suffer through trainers or frozen toes.  I just am not a cyclist.  I struggle with motivation for that.  Maybe I'll be better when I can go outside.   

Have a great weekend everyone.  I'm shut down for at least today and most likely the whole weekend.  My boy was kind enough to pass his illness along to dear old dad.  I have a dr appointment this afternoon to rule out strep throat.  This REALLY sucks!  Our cub scout banquet is this sunday, and I really can't miss it.  I'm being installed as the new cubmaster, and am pretty much running the whole thing.  I hope I can still talk by Sunday!  Train hard everyone!

Matt

No apologies needed for your absenteeism.  Just please stop mentioning GS cookies.  I am so bummed because I didn't buy any this year and I absolutely love love love thin mints frozen as a snack.  I can just eat one or two this way and it satisfies my cravings.  Dang, now I'm going to have to find a grocery store where the little girls are hawking their extras. GRRRR!! 

You are a wonderful mentor!  Thank you for all you do!  

I've been down asking the girl here that sold GS cookies when they will be in every day since you mentioned them!  I am so craving those chocolate peanut butter ones yum!  We have a couple more weeks though.  I may have to break down and buy a Reese's Peanut Butter cup just to get me through!

Scout hope you feel better.  I'm still battling some coughing and being worn out from my cold.  It's no fun that's for sure.  Good luck on Sunday with the Cub Scout thing

I'm impressed with you guys doing the biking thing indoors.  I think that would be incredibly boring.  (Well I think that with the treadmill too)  My hat is off to you. 

I've got 3 boxes coming from my little GS.

Thanks, Anne

Get well soon, Matt.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.  I'm playing Mr. Dad this weekend-skiing on Sat.

Mike, Thanks for the info on the clinic.  That bike workout sounds brutal.  I'll be curious about that Spinerval DVD.

Anne,

Bike Porn-Bike Porn.  Must have pictures.  It's all a big lie unless we see pictures.  Congrats.

Ann, you are teasing us.  What kind of bike?  Get a good fitting after it arrives.  That is so important.

 
WE WANT PORN, GIVE US BIKE PORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy for you!  You are going to fly on it. 
 

Anne - congrats on the new ride....looking forward to seeing it.

I'm still on the shelf.  My sore throat turned into a sinus infection that really did a number on me.   Not only did I feel like I got hit by a truck, and that the truck had backed up over me again, but then it felt like it decided to park on my head.  I was not a happy guy for the past few days!  My doc called in an antibiotic for me yesterday and it was almost instant relief.  Within a few hours my appetite was back and I wasn't as lethargic.  I'm not sure when I'm going to get back to working out, I'm thinking it will be at least a few more days. 

Train hard everyone!

Matt

Anne - Sweet ride!

Amoxicillin is a wonder drug....if it only grew hair.....Anyway, I feel fantastic and may see about a short run tomorrow at lunch time...I've been off for 5 days.  I'm getting antsy.... and I have a 10K in a week and a half!

Matt

(sniff, sniff, wipes away tears  Anne, that bike is beautiful...I want a new bike.  I deserve a new bike.  Thanks for the porn.

Hope everyone gets well soon.  I raced a duo last year while sick and developed bronchitis (sp)-so please take time to recover.  We have long, draining season ahead, but it's only Feb. so don't kill yourself now.

Again, Anne-nice bike.

Woo hoo!  First workout in a week is done!  A very easy 4 mile run before work today.  I'll go for an easy spin tomorrow on my bike at lunch time and then try and get a long run in this weekend.  Next week should be back to normal.  Still have a very slight cough, but for the most part I'm feeling 1000 times better! 

Another site I post on is having a March challenge Boys vs. Girls training competition, so I'll be swimming a lot in March - which is good as my frist race in May is a 1/2 mile swim...I want to be able to get to that distance comfortably  and without breaks a few weeks before the race.  All of the TI drills that I was doing are starting to pay off.  Just need to remember pacing when I get in the water so that I don't go out too fast and tire out too quickly.

Matt

Nice bike!  I'll either be using my old mountain bike or maybe fixing up an old 10 speed from 20 years ago for my tri.  I am soo jealous.  And I'm with you Anne when I read all that stuff from ebay about what it had, I'm like I have no idea what that all means, but it sure sounds great!

I'm back from a short ski trip to WV, finally seem to have kicked the cold that I had gotten when I got back from my last trip.  The weather here is improving also so I hope that I can finally get consistent with my training.

Absolutely nothing wrong with an old 10 speed.  I would suggest though, if it's been dormant for years, new tubes and tires, and drop it at your LBS for a thorough tune up.
