In trying to make my training more transparent to DH I decided to schedule my current plan with morning only sessions. Monday & Wednesday are swim then run on the dreadmill. I think that is the problem. Not only do I not look forward to getting up at O Dark Thirty for a swim session, to follow it up with a dreadmill? Ick! I need to figure out a different plan. Maybe run outside near the gym? Not sure what the sidewalk situation is over there. Other ideas? Has this been a problem? I mean, did he say anything about it or are you feeling guilty? Is running at lunch an option? Regardless, running in the morning in the summer is better anyway -- avoid the worst of the heat. Are there any local running groups that meet in the mornings? Once you get the run handled, perhaps work the swim around it. That's what I was wondering, too. |

You're denying us the pleasure You definitely need some incentive. Can you make yourself a delicious breakfast smoothie (maybe even the night before) that you have after the sessions? Or heck, before? Go check out the outside running situation at the gym and see if it's tenable. Even bribing myself with Sbux didn't work |
... really, I thought a winocycle would set you up for a few days, at least!

He is SUPER supportive and proud of me for what I do, but he has said a couple things that make me think I need to try a little harder to be conscious of the effect on him. I figured now that I'm not HIM training I should be able to manage it. |

| Seattle | Subject: RE: Mad Mutant Manatee Mentors 4--CLOSED Man, I have been just showered in love since I got back from Boston. It's very difficult for me to understand why I feel the way I do when there is so much good around me. Yesterday, after I went on a run with some friends I went to pick up dinner for J and I and the guy working noticed my B.A.A. hoodie and we got into a pretty long conversation about everything. He is from Boston and used to live near Copley square. He was sooooo sweet. He just made my day. And as if his sweetness wasn't enough, while I was sitting there waiting for my food he says, "Hey Adrienne?" and I walk back to the counter and he gives me a whole bunch of extra food for free lol. Food is obviously the key to my heart, or any runners heart for that matter. |

You may be a worse morning bear than I am. I'm pretty sure running at lunch isn't an option for you, but correct me if I am wrong. What's your next race/goal/vision/etc? |

It's true that lunch isn't an option. Once I switched to the gym I didn't have (much) trouble getting up for my swims. Maybe the let down from Oceanside is a factor here. In my head I "only" have sprints and an Oly coming up. I need to get back at it, though, or I'll lose my hard-won fitness! |

Think about it ... for ever (months) your life has been very tightly structured a certain way toward a certain goal. Now, it's not. Big change. You just went through a huge event--and some very difficult twists to it--a NORMAL person would be down after that. (Not that you're THAT abnormal) And for quite many more months, you've been highly awash in endorphins from all the running. Blam. Gone overnight. Withdrawal. Very real phenomenon. |

Well, first off, I'm an idiot. As it turns out, I totally know the lady I am meeting but didn't realize it. I see her quite often in the gym at work and (not knowing who she was) I have talked with her about running all the time. In fact just a few weeks ago I gave her a tip on a good route near work! I didn't put it together until she sent me an e-mail today saying how great I did in Boston! |

Yeah, I mean, I guess I need to allow myself to acknowledge that it's a real thing. I guess I just have so much going on in my life OTHER than running that it's hard to see why just one thing has such an effect on me. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Mad Mutant Manatee Mentors 4--CLOSED I always have the weirdest conversations with my siblings. I guess it kinda reminds me of Wondermoose's convo with her husband she posted With everything that's gone on / is going on recently there's a special kind of weird to them, though. Just got off the phone with my brother ... Me: "Did you get the dental floss? Is it lots?" Bro: "Did YOU get the dental floss? I left it at the house for you." Me: "Uh. House ... can you meet at the house at 11am Wednesday?" Bro: "No. I'm meeting with the Minister of Defense and a U.S. Senator. What's the consequences?" Me: "My wrath." *fairly short pause* Bro: "I'll be at the house at 11 o'clock." Me: "Good. I didn't want to have to remind you what the dental floss is for." |

He's not snide or rude about it, I just don't want to push it that far. I'm trying REALLY hard not to schedule ANY events for June and July but with DS1 having a budding interest in running it's hard. Interestingly, while we were on the bike/wine tour, DH complained about the weight of his bike (we were both on MTB, hence the reason for my spill). There happens to be a bike swap this weekend and I suggested he look at lighter bikes. At first he argued but then agreed to at least look. He wants to get back to riding more and I think a better bike would be a big help. |

He wants to get back to riding more and I think a better bike would be a big help. J has made a VERY similar comment. "So, maybe we can take a trip that doesn't involve a race?" It's funny because I always think of it as like, the ultimate multi-tasking, like I am winning on all levels, but really most often what I am doing is not giving the race OR the "vacation" 100% I think it's important to find ways to compromise. It sounds to me like mornings just don't work well for you. Maybe you can do some of your workouts in the morning (freeing your time in the evening to do something with DH and that can be your reward) and the other days fit it in during a time that works for you. |

I guess it kinda reminds me of Wondermoose's convo with her husband she posted With everything that's gone on / is going on recently there's a special kind of weird to them, though. Just got off the phone with my brother ... Me: "Did you get the dental floss? Is it lots?" Bro: "Did YOU get the dental floss? I left it at the house for you." Me: "Uh. House ... can you meet at the house at 11am Wednesday?" Bro: "No. I'm meeting with the Minister of Defense and a U.S. Senator. What's the consequences?" Me: "My wrath." *fairly short pause* Bro: "I'll be at the house at 11 o'clock." Me: "Good. I didn't want to have to remind you what the dental floss is for." Funny. So what IS the dental floss for? 3-in-1 murder. Hanging, strangulation, throat-slitting all at once. Or, it's because I have a fetish about keeping my teeth (the ones I have left) in order. |

You didn't even get on "the list" Yeah, I am protesting. I refuse to tell her how proud I am that in the midst of all she has going on that she was able to get out and do something for herself, something she enjoys and something that brought her joy. And how important it is to do so during an often challenging time in her life right now. And PR to Boot!!!! But I'm not telling her that |

Can you guess which parts of this I read and which ones I didn't? |

You didn't even get on "the list" Well ... honestly I wasn't sure I was going to make it, but when it turned into a Peace Run AND my main piglet Andreas was on the late-nite flite back to Bali from Jakarta, I knew I had to go! It was really wonderful. |
