SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING (Page 83)

Appears to be a Delta from the picture.

WOOT!!  Nice job!

i just gave jacy a dutch oven. 

This would be my plan...
BUT I have been known to push it too hard and run through pain... SO, mine is probably not the best advice.

However, you've been running great and the test run went fine... may have just been the hill training caused some excess stress.  Keep it on flat ground and work those hills back in a bit slower.

Awesome Roni. Knocking these states down quickly. Soon you'll have to hit provinces too!

go to Queens BBQ. That was Texas for me. there are the place John took me to in Houston. Them's some good food.

This is what we were up to the last few days... Out in Banff National Park....Cross-country skiing in the mountains is hard!!!

 As you can see, I was even a tri-nerd and had my garmin on when we hiked.

We went to Banff in the summer and I loved it.  It's one of the places I would revisit.

Jayne, tough one.  I would probably do something shorter and abort if I had any signs of pain after the warm up.  It may have been a fluke, but maybe not.  Also try some trigger work on the that area.

Congrats to our racers.....

David - a PR is a PR.  And this was an iffy one for you.  

Roni - you are simply amazing.

To our northern peeps - I just ran in the snow.  It was nothing like the snow in Trevor's picture.  But it was snow in NC.                I got up at the crack of dawn to get the run in, and the kids were already out playing.  

They salted the streets over the last couple of days, no snow last night/yesterday and it's 50 degrees out.

I know that I will always feel better about myself once the workout is done. Besides television really isn't that good so I am not totally wasting time if I am riding.

BTW: Once I read to my kids I am running and then riding tonight.

JUST DO IT!

Hi All!  I had a few hotties posting on my facebook and sending me emails so I figured that I needed to pop in and say hello.

Sorry for my absence - it has been a crazy start to the year.  A demanding project at work, three weeks of travel (a trip to Korea, two trips to France), two weeks of travel for Kris (a trip to Mexico and a trip to Tennesee) and keeping up with kids has not left much time for anything else.  I also managed to pull off a surprise 40th bday part for Kris (which was very important since I was in France for both Valentines Day and her b-day!!).  Things are good here but training has been near zero - and so has my time on BT.

The work project will continue through most of the year although I hope that things will start to move at a more managable pace in the near future.  I did manage 3.5 miles on the treadmill on Friday...maybe I can double that before the end of the month!!!

I will get back here more often to check in.  Hope that you are all doing well and making up for all the training I should be doing!!

George

GEORGE!!! So glad to see you back!

Second, give the Sufferfest a try, I look forward to trainer rides now...!

Is it possible you've not been able to find that MOJO because you're really not interested in the marathon? Would training for a different race get you out the door? down the basement?

Every once in a while I find myself really sick of a particular discipline (aka swimming) because I've been concentrating on it like crazy and getting almost nowhere.  I resent having to do it and then put in a half a$$ed effort once I get there with some negative self talk thrown in for good measure .  I usually have to have a little chalk talk with myself that this is a sport I do for fun and to stop putting so much pressure on myself to succeed that it will eventually come.   Maybe you need to have your own chalk talk? Dig deep, what is really holding you back? and then inch your way to your favorite of the three sports or something entirely different to kick it into gear.  And if all that doesn't work how about this?  Spring is really around the corner....you don't want to find yourself a complete BLOB in your favorite racing kit once it gets here.

That's all I've got.

You just need to REMEMBER that all the Badgers and Spartans in this MG are out there training!!!!

Well, on second thought, actually one of us only seems to swim now and the other seems to have misplaced his running shoes or developed some strange addiction to his bike ............  

as said best by Rosanne Rosannadanna:

Lots of good advice there. I'll add that it helps me to focus on weekly goals (weekly volume, key workouts), rather than thinking about the whole schedule and how far I have to go. You can't do it all at once, just one day at a time.
