Yanti & Salty MAD MANATEES Part 2 -- Full Pod (Page 78)

Whoosh!  Finally caught up (read the last few pages at lunch today).  Glad that everyone seems to be doing well.  I hope that everyone has a great weekend.

Better get back to work.  We have a new website rolling out over the weekend.  We have data to finish converting and I have to do training on it next Monday and Tuesday (and again the following Monday and Tuesday).  Things should calm down at work by midweek.

Training is going well.  My right hamstring is acting up a bit on long runs but I am dealing with it (PT, stretching, foam rolling, etc.).  Must get it better in the next four weeks!

We all did it while you were gone just to mess with you.

I don't know if you guys have seen this or not, but it's pretty cool. A mix of some of my favorite things; some geeky scienc-y-technology, running and you know, my future wife Lolo Jones.

Red Bull actually does some really awesome stuff with their athletes.

That is pretty awesome!  They would only need a clock (w/o a second hand) for me...

Good luck with your half marathon Valerie, i'll be thinking of you as I hit 'the wall' on my run.

Go Racing Manatees!

Weekend of June 30-July 1

• Valerie - Rapid Running Buffalo Half Marathon on Saturday
• Allen - Mansfield Fun Run on Sunday (Yes!  1.5 miles of pure action packed adrenaline and men in monkey costumes!)

I love this idea!!!!! Hmmmm, so I will be going on a run with some of the Brooks Olympians/Olympic Hopefuls this weekend in Eugene. This certainly won't be a typical...

Nice work, Kate!  That is a 2km OWS!  Way to take on the challenge and just get it done!

Well, good news is you got the day off! Dreadmill sucks but you can make it not suck.

I always set a very specific goal when I am on the mill as it makes the time go faster. Sometimes it's working on periods of time with as close-to-perfect form as I can, sometimes it's working on hydration and my favorite, eating, and sometimes it's taking it nicccce and slow and reading or something. 

How far are you running? 

It's not tri-related, but I've got a dressage clinic on Sunday with one of the east coast's top trainer - my first show-like event of the season with a new horse (actually he's a pony - ridiculously cute) I've been riding for a couple months (not mine)...who was a terror last night! So, wish me luck and hopefully I look like some semblance of a competent rider on Sunday. Got another lesson Saturday to work out the kinks...Don't know that I'll get any tri training in, since it's been making me sore and tight and that is the last thing a dressage rider should be. Maybe yoga tomorrow and SUnday.

Yikes, you are brave. I tend to stay off of anything as big, fast and strong with the ability to think for itself.

As a kid, we had a lot of property and let our friends keep their reject shetland pony in our yard. It was short lived. I had it galloping and then, just to be a jerk, it STOPPED and put it's head down.  

Ugh...I hated that thing. 

1 and a full half of our very best english miles! (around the posh part of town)

LOL that's a very pony thing to do. This guy isn't too bad (his name is Munchkin, how can you stay mad at a pony named munchkin??), but he hadn't been worked in about a week and during that time he convinced himself that the things we were trying to teach him were bullsh-t and that he should do anything in his power to not be brainwashed by us again.

You'd better get your big boy pants on for the 'full half', I hear that's where the wall strikes in England.

Do monkey man suits have big boy pants?

I hope so, i don't leave home without them

I hope so too. Mainly because you have all requested pictures...
