Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() jfought - 2012-02-19 2:54 PM I'm still training for my first 1/2 mary (end of March). It seems like it will never get here. I started adding some really hilly trails to my runs and started to have some "bad" pain on the medial side of my right shin. I don't know if I'm describing the location correctly, but you get the idea. Bad hurt=back off the miles and the hills. Backed off this week, iced, stretched, massaged. Today, I did a short 3-mi. test run and felt good. I don't have to work tomorrow, so I would like to go for a long run (10 mi or so). What do you all think. Too much? Play it by ear and if I start feeling pain, shut it down? I'll tip my glass of wine to the best mentor group ever!! You all rock!! This would be my plan... 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. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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.

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() jfought - 2012-02-20 4:54 AM Sound like medial tibial stress syndrome, ice it+++, avoid downhills, maybe wear support shoes for a few runs. This injury can get worse!Roni, That beach marathon sounds like an awesome time. The rain, thunder, and lightening might have made you occasionally forget about the whole running in sand thing--probably not! LOL Way to get it done. David, That's on pretty ride. I'm sure the two of you will enjoy many wonderful rides. Doug, maybe you need to put notes on your bike, and your helmet and your vehicle: "Don't forget your bike shoes!"

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. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey MG been mostly hiding in the background here for the past couple of weeks due to life (family illness, injury, work, travel, more illness) getting in the way of the triathlon lifestyle. Could use some of your motivational mojo to get me back in the swing of things here. Have a marathon scheduled in just under 60 days and frankly don't feel like getting out on the road to do my training. I know I need to start spending some time on my trainer but the thought of sitting there spinning for an hour is totally unappealing. Does this ever happen to you guys and how do you get yourselves over it? An inquiring mind wants to know. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Great job with the PR, David! Amazing, Roni. Simply amazing!Doug- why don't you leave your bike shoes clipped into your pedals? I can't remember a time when mine have been off my pedals.Love the pics, Trevor! I yearn for snow these days. It's been the winter that wasn't here. Glad I never bought that snow blower. Fingers crossed for some good spring deals.As for motivation... I do best when I think of following the plan as a job. no excuses. It's got to be done. It also helps when I look at the weekly schedule on Mon and compare to the family plan to figure out when I will get each done. Mostly I think of an article I read on new parents of sextuplets. Both parents were training for marathons, both work full time. Kids were 18 mos old. After reading that article I could not come up with a single valid excuse to not do it. I also read lots of race reports to keep me motivated. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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

First sign up for a race, close enough to scare you, I did this after New Year: a sprint with 3 weeks to train!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 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. |
