Yanti & Salty Beyond Ridiculous Manatees PART 6--CLOSED (Page 81)

Depends on how much of an endurance event it winds up being.

OK then. Um, nevermind, I don't think I need any more info than that.

BTW, how are you feeling since IM? Evidently you are doing OK, but I have been thinking about you a bit this week. I am guessing that that the 2 days after were filled with soreness and the need to sleep.

We can fix that for you.

Wow!  That's like, way less than when I picked up my bike after The Wreck.  Good news!

Yeah, I kind of agree.  I like the brown sugar cinnamon but it falls into the Not Worth It category for me.  210 per pop tart and there are two in a package.  I'm not eating just one and for 420 I can have CAKE.

I usually use it with marinara sauce.  I like it.  Kevin hates it.  I only have it when he's out of town and it's in season.

They used that as a "basket ingredient" in the desert round of Chopped this week.  I don't think that it worked out too well for the contestants.

This is crazy, but I'm feeling awesome. I have more pain and soreness from hauling all my gear around than the race! (Well, I'm sure it would have been easier without doing the race, snerk).

I've done this recovery really by the book and it's paid off. Walking's been no problem, stairs (I'm taking the stairs up and down to my hotel room, well okay it's only on the 3rd floor, but still), even sitting still and getting up/down from bed the days after was no problem.

Sitting down and getting up from the toilet the day after, and what I now call Ironbrain (you find yourself having been sitting on the toilet for half an hour and not sure if you've gone already) is a different matter!

Jogo Challenge check in - Today will be 30 minutes of stretching, core work and calisthenics.

How about anyone else, whaddya got????

I did an hour of CardioAbs and a 15 minute run yesterday. I was hoping to go to Spin class this evening, but I don't know if that's going to happen. So I will at least get 30 minutes of running in.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Dear manatees, 

Yesterday I only ran 20 minutes because my cramps got too bad to keep going.  But, I did walk a lot, so I probably made it 30 minutes.  I'm not sure.  I'll try harder today. 

Love,
jen 

Congratulations!!  I'd love to qualify.  That's my hometown!!

Well, I think being an Athena means pre-qualified since one has already met the standard for the category

They're also raising the weight limit to 160lbs next year.

Athenas and Clydes do have to qualify for Halfmax (what USAT calls half-iron), though. Not easy times.

And I'm doing pretty well, thanks so much! Good job on getting 20min in with the cramping setting in. Not fun!

And late happy happy happy birthday to E. She is so gorgeous.

Thanks, Yanti!  I think she's pretty cute.  

While I'd love to be below 160 by August, that's about 35 pounds from now.  I'm concerned that it's a bit too ambitious.

Not times ... rankings. So it helps to choose your qual race(s) wisely

Soooo is Nationals not the only qualifying race? Damn this crap is complicated. I need an admin assistant. 

Oh dear lord, I need these like yesterday:

I have had this bookmarked forever. I don't think I could bring myself to do it but damn, it's so cool

Oh and lets see, I have totally been getting my Jogo on.

Last night was the track workout. I could not focus!!! My mind kept wandering on the most random things. Anyway, it was a 4.5 mile flow workout with a fast finish: 

7:24 
7:20 
7:16 
7:24 (for half lap) 
6:35 final mile 

This morning I got back on my sparkly clean bike. Yay! And I have two runs today, 8 mile recovery and a 4 mile PM workout. 

SHWING!!!

Everyone needs those, buy a crate of em.
