Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by laffinrock Oh Mary I'm so sorry about your friend. Sending you big {{{{mastiff melon presses}}}} Proof of life post. Got back from Louisiana yesterday after 3 hours of sleep the night before. 6 a.m. flights suck. I slept most of the day yesterday and am back at work today wishing I could stay home today too. I'm reeling from the experience at the Whitney Plantation of performing music written by slaves and the news that a friend and mentor died on Monday from breast cancer. I hadn't seen her in awhile so I didn't know that her cancer had come back until I got a message on Saturday that she was dying. Fortunately, having been gone for 4 days, I'm buried at work so that's providing a good distraction (as is BT I hope that work calms down quickly and that your PT goes well. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by StaceyK Originally posted by msteiner Speaking from recent experience, maybe do it on the trainer though so if you need to stop to cough up a lung (or some of the green crap that is filling your head) it isn't such a big deal. Also if you do decide after 30 or 45 minutes that is all you can cope with for the day you can stop you don't have to still get home. Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by msteiner Got a stupid cold 3 weeks out from my first road race. Have an hour easy scheduled today, and am debating sucking it up and doing it or just letting myself rest another day. I feel ok...ish, so I could do it no problem. I'm more concerned about my intervals tomorrow. If you keep the easy to actually being easy, I think that you might actually feel better after riding. You'll need to rein it in though. Yeah I agree. I have found that working out tends to help colds so long as you don't go all out. 3 weeks out is perfect timing. Better now than 3 weeks from now! Very true. I do think that some easy cycling probably will help more than hurt. I usually feel worse if I don't train for a few days. I do most of my rides on the trainer during during the week. I made it through my easy ride fine yesterday, but I have intervals tonight. I'm going to give it a go. |

I always knew she had a good heart HAPPYSTONED -- muddy mess. I feel ya. See below. Manatee friendees, I am EXHAUSTEDPOODLED. There's exhausted, which is merely really tired, but then there's exhaustepoodled, which is a muddy shaggy wet-dog kind of tired. Kind of like this. You do NOT want to know what you find when you Google "dirty poodle." |

That's pretty awesome. Not sure if I'd do well with hockey. I don't see much ice 'round here. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm still here too. Have been busy and sick so my exercise log is a bit off. I hope to get to the pool and run today. A couple weeks back I mentioned that I had a good lead on a job. Well the good lead turned into great relief after I accepted their offer for the position. I had been only working part time since October 13 and applying for positions since March 13, I now will be starting Next week. This past weekend was the Father Daughter dance and I took my little girl out and we had lots of fun with our good friends and neighbors who also went. On the racing front I had a great meeting with the team I will work with to execute 3 Tri Races this year and learned of a new event that they would like me to lead the efforts on. I have also been working with Team RWB to coordinate local events too. Oh I also signed up for the Lottery to do Grandmas Half Marathon. I hope I get in. In catching up on postings I see a lot of good news and some news that could be better, either way your in my thoughts. Troy P.S. So why was DULUTH not in the cities list? It is the #1 Adventure Town! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Asalzwed Yes, the half is on the same course. Its an OH my gosh early bus ride to the start and we go about 45 min before the Marathon. The course is beautiful running down the North Shore of Lake Superior and through Duluth, and Finishing in Canal Park by our iconic lift bridge. Last year it was cool and Foggy, good for running but not so much to enjoy the views. Im going to call it right now. The race will be sunny with morning temps in the Mid 50s and calm./ Originally posted by tcarlson78 I'm still here too. Have been busy and sick so my exercise log is a bit off.

It is the #1 Adventure Town! Congrats on the new job, Troy!! DH has a 2nd interview (well, 2 actually) tomorrow and is pretty excited about it. So sweet that you and your daughter went to the dance. I love hearing about dads who do that kind of stuff. Glad you've gotten connected with Team RWB. Sounds like it's a really good fit for you. As for Grandma's, hope you get in and the weather cooperates!! And seriously, what's with Duluth getting left off the list?! Who wouldn't love all the snow, cold, and mosquitoes? |

Master![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Asalzwed Ha! I had just found the course on Strava. Point to point for both races, so the marathon starts farther up the way. Looks to be slightly off the lake at first, but still close. The half looks to be entirely right along the lakeshore until like mile 11 where it goes downtown. I see why it's popular for a PR race as well, very flat. Originally posted by brigby1 Originally posted by tcarlson78 Originally posted by Asalzwed Yes, the half is on the same course.

Maybe it would be best seen during the half Yeah, that is what I hear. My teammates looking to qualify for trails seem to use Grandmas, Twin Cities, Chicago and Cal International as they are all excellent courses. I LOVED Cal International and kind of want to go back but there are just so many great marathons I would like to try. Chi doesn't really interest me but Grandmas and Twin Cities might. I would also love to run London but it sounds like a nightmare to get into if you are not local.

Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Acid. blech. I've developed acid issues in the last several weeks to the point where I have an endoscopy scheduled at the end of the month. I'm pretty sure that riding so much on the trainer in aero is the root cause - but I just can't seem to get it under control. I've searched the forums and this doesn't seem that uncommon. Anyone here have that? In general my diet has very little acid in it - no chocolate, no alcohol, very little soda and only 1 16oz cups of tea a day. If I can't have tea anymore.......grumble. /and rant |

If I am pushing hard sometimes I'll get very burpy if I drink anything other than water or G2. When in aero, especially on the trainer, not so much on the road, makes it much worse. Because of this and abdominal pain from past surgeries in that region, I rarely ride in aero on the trainer. I find that as long as I get some aero sessions in on the road I'm fine in my races. Hope you get it figured out. |

They shouldn't be hard to find over there, in Australia you can get them at most health food stores and some pharmacies. The first place I would try is Walgreens or online. |

![]() | ![]() Thanks Yanti! Busy busy busy busy O.O I had a lot of acid reflux problems growing up...always had stomach aches but luckily grew out of it mostly. Spicy food gets me occasionally, which sucks because I LOVE SPICY FOOD! The pain is worth it haha Managed a new swim record today!!! Previously it was 600 meters, and today for whatever reason my form came together and I was doing 50-100m spurts adding up to a grand total of 1,150m! |

Went through the whole endoscopy/colonoscopy/swallowing study thing. GI doc found nothing. Ended up in the ER 6 months later with terrible stomach pain and a scarred gallbladder.I hope that's not the route it takes. Acid can be a really annoying problem. |

(even if you are being hard on yourself, Chris Adrienne- yay! on Stevie and hockey. Troy and Jen- Woot-woot on the upcoming races Jo and Mary- boo on the sick friends. That sucks :/ Yanti and Monica- hang in there with the crazy baby animals! Hope one and all had a great Wednesday. I got in a run AND a road ride today. Wheee.... I'm ignoring how slow they were and basking in the happy feeling of being able to do them.

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yuck -9 this morning, and the wind is going to pick up today too. I like winter but not when it hurts to breath. My dogs even looked up at me this morning when going out for their morning sniff and patrol with a "Really Human, you want me to go out there" look. |
