Master  4452   | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Originally posted by Asalzwed As for my race, in addition to coming back from surgery it's also supposed to be hot as shyte. We just got this e-mail: "we will be providing as much help as we can for the 5k, 10K and steeplechase events. We will have the following: 2 water tablessome ice at the water tables In addition, I think it would be wise ice your head during the longer races. The best way to do this is to have a baseball cap or visor to hold an ice-filled sandwich bag with crushed ice in it. We will have sandwich bags and ice available but are asking you to bring your own ballcap. We puncture several holes in the sandwich bag if you want to squeeze cold water on your head during the race. The good news is they are making all the stops to help us out. But it's going to be a tough evening! Also, I had visions of some sort of chippendale type of dude did when I read "mister" Well that oughta make you run fast.... |

What are your Oly goals as far as a tune up? I get grumpy cause I get stressed...have I done enough...what if.... especially as it is a new distance. Goals for Oly: Mostly not limit myself. Not lollygag on the swim--I can go faster than 'easy pace' and not die. I proved that to myself last week in the pool. Bike--no real goal here, feeling okay. Run: not limit myself. Training with my friend has proven that I can run faster, longer than I give myself credit for. I am not going to go super crazy or anything, but just have that mindset that "I can". |

Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Originally posted by melbo55 Man, am I looking forward to vacation in 2 weeks! The past month has been very trying/busy/crazy caring for Dad, taking him to appointments, helping him with meals, grocery shopping, helping him with everything while trying to keep after my own life (with limited success). Thank heavens I'm getting some help from my sister, boo to my brother for not doing his part. Then again, that's kind of how he is, sadly. I'll cut the out of state brother some slack, since, after all, he is out of state. How did I miss this???? I hope all is well and that your vacation gets here soon. You've earned a rest, that's for sure. |
Thank heavens for a job that allows for family sick time and for a flexible schedule. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I didn't have the work flexibility that I do. Thanks for letting me vent a little, we now return to your normal broadcasting schedule.| 2014-07-10 2:16 PM in reply to: StaceyK |
Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Originally posted by StaceyK Two great things happened on my run this morning (well 3 if you count the fact that I actually did it): 1. I had no knee pain at all, not even a twinge; and 2. For the first time ever I averaged under the 9:00 km pace (ok all you speedy people can stop laughing now I know it's not fast, but for me it is). Oh and for all you No Sugar, No Grain and full on Paleo Diet people I made the most beautiful lemon chicken the other night. I am having the left overs for lunch with salad today and I am already salivating over it and it's only 9am. If you want it the recipe is in my log. Have a great day! Congratulations!!!! 2 really cool points! |

Just curious...would you consider doing a race where you go super crazy? Probably no time in this build, but in the future?

Yes, absolutely. If we were a bit further out, I would do so here, but I think it is too close now. I have learned a lot this year about what I am capable of. My Boise race was good for me from the bike/run aspect and recognizing what I am capable of. Training on the course in Whistler as well. |

Probably the third is the most important Pretty sure no "speedy" people are laughing. Everyone starts somewhere with the goal being improvement, no matter what level. |

You've earned a rest, that's for sure. I'll feel better once I secure someone reliable to take him to an appointment while I'm away. I tried to get them to change it to a time when I'm around but they didn't have any within the timeframe they need and when I'm home. I'll be making my annual summer jaunt to lovely Lake Placid, NY to watch LT and some other friends race the Ironman (I'm volunteering one day and sherpa-ing race day) and to get some quality swimming/biking/running, relaxing and ice cream eating accomplished in one of the most beautiful areas in the country. |
I'll also feel better if slacker brother would get on board so my sister won't be the only one doing his meals and caring for him while I'm away. Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments. I gladly care for my dad but sometimes it gets tough to balance all his needs with keeping my life in order, too. It keeps things interesting for sure!| 2014-07-10 2:59 PM in reply to: Asalzwed |

That there's some smokin' fast 10000m times! Those must be their 5000m times? Looks like Club NW has a good shot at the podium Yeah hahah you could qual with a 5000 and a 3000 if you so desired. Interestingly enough, we are gunning for a win with distance and some field events (meaning scoring points) which from what I read, would be historical. Usually it's the sprint and mid distance that creates a T&F win. It's not just about the "podium" in T&F as it's scored 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 so, that means that getting 8th place is not just important to get A point, but it means your competitor doesn't get a point, ya know? But yeah, no one likes to run the 10000 but we've got a lot of brave (and fast) women who are willing to. Most of the fasts are also racing the 5000 the next morning so the 10 will be run slower than usual. And perhaps now you take me seriously about dfl? Edited by Asalzwed 2014-07-10 4:26 PM | ||

I had my APART (Annual Performance for my flight duties test) this week. Was studying aircraft systems and all of the other things we have to know. It delayed me some. |
