Weights and a little threshold training on the bike. 

Guess we got lucky with our daughter.  We were getting nowhere with pullups so we just threw her in panties.  She peed herself once, we made her clean it up, and she's been pretty much good to go since.  Knock on wood.

I know triathletes aren't huge on "supplements."  As a matter of fact most of the time I get "I supplement my training with more training" if I bring it up.  Thought you may find this interesting though.

Beta Alanine, amino acids, caffeine, and electrolyte supps are really the only performance enhancers I've found for endurance athletes. 

Just put an order in and added beta alanine -- figured it was worth a shot.

I have no willpower at all right now.  I am hungry all.the.time.  I keep picking at food.  Anyone else struggle with all day hunger?   

yes, and I work in front of a few hundred pounds of fresh french fries all damn day! It's a wonder I don't weight more...

Oh totally, but try to keep the snack healthy if I do eat all day . . . apple sauce cups, yogurt (Chibani is great), dried fruit, bananas.  However, we all fall off the healthy wagon!!!  Got a snack pack of oreos, but keep those zipped up and out of sight cuz if I see them I eat them!

Actually this dried fruit I have from Sunsweet is blueberries, cherries, cranberries and plums . . . I eat a handful or 2 a day and it is actully like candy.  However, it is about $5/small bag.

jarvy01 - 2011-03-21 3:43 PM I had to stop twice during my run this morning - I was struggling with GI distress & then my potty training 2 year old decided it would be funny to poop on the floor in the middle of the playroom.  EW.  How's that for a workout?! 

been there done that - that is stop a work out to clean poop off the floor.  Your 2 year old should meet my almost 3 year old who is resisting potty training as if we are making her tear out her own finger nails. she'll hold it until she pees/poops on the floor.

This is why Uncle Bruce will never watch a child until they can handle the potty entirely on their own.

Good Morning!

We're expecting snow this afternoon / tonight (3 inches or so).  Heading out this morning for a long-ish run and then swimming this afternoon.  Its the end of March and the whole week looks crappy weather wise.  I'm really looking forward to some actual spring, I'm tired of the trainer.

I agree Kelly, I finished a book on the trainer and Kindle this morning, (Sarah's Key) (highly reccomended read), and once that was done, I just mentally couldn't go anymore.  Physically, I felt great this  morning.  But this winter has killed me on the trainer with boredom.  I can usually get out in the winter on the mountain bike, but we have had unrideable snow all winter long.  Soooooo looking forward to some nice days.  Looks like that won't even be close to arriving until MAYBE the middle of next week.

My mountain bike TT is next Sunday.  I feel as if I am ready, and so much more advanced than last summer.  It's about 8 miles, short and a very fast course.  Last year's leader in my class was at 36 minutes.  That's insane, becasue the winner in the class above that was 37 minutes.  Hopefully the guy who won my class moves up!!!!!  I hope to do a sub 40.

MAN it's a beautiful day today! Finally a day with minimal wind, sun is shining, and it's about 60 degrees

Just got back from a 20 mile ride.

My little guy is a complete pill with the pottytraining.  I've almost considered putting him back in diapers, but he starts school in September and he has to be trained.  I went in to get him up from a nap and found that he had hidden a poo in his pillowcase and then told me he couldn't remember where he put it.  Saturday he pooped behind my elliptical machine and then wiped it all over the back of the machine.  We've had to go on poo hunts, trying to find where this kid has dropped a deuce (down on my hands and knees trying to locate the origin of the stink).  It's been wrapped up in my curtains, in the hood of my 1 year old's shirt, etc.  My house is almost a health hazard.  LOL

I have a speed workout on the trainer this morning, and then I have swim drills & massage tonight.  It ought to be a really long day.       

never done a poo hunt, thank god.  good luck!

I am pretty much hungry all of the time. 

When I try and stay on a good track eating and am working out I am hungry all the time as well

uhcoog - 2011-03-24 8:26 AM Decided to go riding in the dark today.  I hate riding in the dark.  Good 24ish mile ride, stopped at the gym and lifted, rode home.  It's supposed to be 82 degrees here today.  Sorry CT folks. 

Oh and its 28 here . . . just like 82 only backwards.

Rode an hour this morning, lifting in the afternoon, then massage and another hour on the trainer tonight.  This week is 22 hours, I think I'm going to fall asleep at my desk.

22 hours is amazing!  I'm tired with only 8-10 hours. 

Good luck at your TT trial!  Let us know how it goes.

Six hours is a big week for me - I maxed out at 10 hours a few times, but not recently.  Adding in biking and swimming should add a little time.  But yeah, 22 hours is nuts.

So yeah, 22 hours, huh, guess it gives me something to shoot for. 

Note to self.... White bikes always look dirty.

I guess I shouldn't complain about the wind...but I will The wind returned today, 20-30mph sustained today and tomorrow. Still had a nice 4 mile run a bit ago, though.

I think we get a break in the wind Saturday and I'm off, so I hope to get in a good long ride if possible.
