tripletmom01 mentor group - FULL!!!!! (Page 9)

Can someone tell me what PR means? I am knew to all this lingo.

Terri, I am concerned about your feet. My friend Bob owns a healthy foot shoe store in Green Bay. He says the main problem for runners with plantar fat... how ever you spell it is pronation. It can be corrected with good arch support and the proper shoes. He sells Aetrex.

My friend couldn't even run because her knees were so bad. She went to Bob, got arch supports and Aetrex shoes and is doing great. 

You might want to book the Super 8. It is a quick 20 minute drive. I drive up from Kewaunee. It is like an hour drive for me.  

PR... personal record, personal best... whatever

Our coach wanted us to do either Spirit of Racine or Door County.  Both involved overnights and travel which we were unable to do last year because of family situations.  We were willing to do some local sprints but she didn't want us to interrupt training with short races.  She scheduled some interesting workouts to simulate racing and race pace.  I know now, nothing replaces the racing experience.

So, don't follow our lead and go into an IM having only done a couple of sprints! 

I have been told I have a slight pronation, thus was encouraged to buy the Superfeet.  Seems like this all kicked in since I have been using them.  Now I wonder if it is too late to try without them or if I need to get an orthodic.

Buddaha1964 - 2009-01-01 12:30 PM Is it better to do one long work out a day or break it up into two shorter ones? One in the morning and one in the afternoon. Also I finally figured out what I can teach all you uber-athletes and pay you all back for the help and encouragement I've gotten. So here it is the one thing I can teach you all is...never ever stop exercising. Not even for an injury, do something else if you need to but never stop. If you do you will suddenly realise it's 18 months later you've gained 60 pounds and have lost ALL you previously hard win fitness. George.

For weight loss I would say two- IF its doable.  Its just another kick start to the metabolism.

So are we gonna get before and after pictures???

For what its worth I have costum made orthodics and they are the best thing I ever did for my running

 I dont get it?? you are feeling dizzy/sick??  When biking too.  What did the ER say?  Why did youhave to go there?

I know the vertigo thing can knock a lot out of youfor a while

I don't know if my camera has enough memory space of something my size. Can you post pictures in the body of a message or would they have to be put somewhere else?

 LOL- you can put them in your album from there they are easy to move to your posts   pm me if you need help

Hey Door County Tri People,

I called Super 8 and they said the only 8 in Door Cty has been there for many years.  Does anyone have any other info, or ideas on another place to stay?

 Thanks George!!

Hi group...  I'm sorry to burst in like this, but I didn't see this group until just now and it caught my eye... and I would beg, borrow and steal to be in this group.

 I have three year old twin boys!!!  I would really love the support from a group that knows where I'm coming from.

A quick little bit about me - married, mom to twins, live in Atlanta, been working out for 2 years and decided to do a sprint tri this year... just to see if I could do it.  I'm registered for "My First Tri" on June 5th!

Please let me know if I can sneak into your group!  I don't take up much room, don't eat much, and clean up after myself!!  lol

Yes Jennifer you may join- I decided last week to let a few more people in now that I have everyone figured out.

I suggest you read everyones bios and a little about what we have been talking about and then lets us know your 2009 goals and maybe about your 2008 season

WELCOME!!

I also decided to let in Mrs Polly aka SweetP.  She will post about herself soon- right Polly?

So everyone say hi to Jennifer and Polly!!!!

Boy- you guys inthis group are sure surronded by a bunch of great girls!!!

Thanks Tammy!

I'm Polly (BT name - SweetP, which is a pet name from my hubby).  I ran track in high school and have always been sort of active, but hubby and I decided to tackle triathlons in 2007.  I only did 2 sprints and had high hopes for 2008.   In February of 2008, we were in FL on vacation and I was running to build my base and had some pain in my arm etc.  When we got home I found out I had a DVT (blood clot) in my arm and 5 in my lungs - that landed me in the hospital for 8 days and put a damper on my season.  I had some other medical issues on top of that and I think fear was a big factor.  I only did 1 sprint in August of 2008 and it was rather painful.

I do teach a couple spin classes at the YMCA, and now that I got Yaktracks for Christmas have no reason not to run more.

Personal:  I'm married to David (BT = Brickey) going on 13 years, we have 3 boys (10, 9, and 5).  I'm a stay at home Mom.  I need help with motivation, and accountability, so I'm super stoked to be in this group.  Plus, I'm a big Tammy fan.    My husband is doing IMKY this year, and I want to help him with his training.  I'm not sure where my 2009 goals for triathlons are yet - I've been wavering a bit.  I need to get back in to training and rebuild some of my confidence.

Great to be here - I'm off to read the rest of this forum and "catch-up" with you all. 

Polly

Plus, I'm a big Tammy fan.   

Awww.. you are sweet!
