SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING (Page 91)

February is in the books and I'm burning that book.  Looking forward to a stronger, healthier March and more daylight.

I've been back and forth between NB and Asics since college.  Currently running in Asics 2140's; closing in on 300 miles in them. 

David--I'm digging the new avatar!

So far there is no one racing this weekend! Anyone?  I am liking the shoe convsation.  I feel like we have all really thought about the type of shoe we need based on our pronation and past injury history.  Good stuff.

I've survived 8 days without any kind of desserts, candy or sugary crap. 

Yesterday was HARD

Good month for skiing... 

Brent is doing a 10K.

Not the best month training wise, but I did finish a beach marathon in a thunder storm! I also got to spend some time with my kids and grandson who live much too far away. So, despite the low training numbers it was a fantastic month.

Way to go, Jayne! My sweet tooth and I are impressed!

Thats what she said

My big accomplishment was getting back training! And slowly,slowly starting to like it again.

I run in Brook Glycerine 9's. I wear custom orthotics, so I always have to find something that feels good with them in it. Oh and I need something BIG.

Thanks Dan!  Some one does read my posts

That's what she said.

Increase in both bike and run, but swim was about 1000yd less than January, BUT 2 hours less. So that means I'm wasting less time in the pool and being more focused.

Thought of that , but did resist! Or by posting this did I succumb and not resist?

Whats fun about that was I posted it that way to see who would respond first.

not really too suprised that the california girls responded back to back!!

especially the 'closing her hips' girl.

HEY!   Closing her hips girl has 3 kids!!!  Apparently not always closed..... 

wow!  and Kim & I responded at exactly the same time.  wooooooo....eerie.  Must be that California thing.

Bit of a run focus....6.5 weeks to go.  Big focus on staying uninjured.  No racing this weekend for me...but Track starts this weekend for Zach.  If he can pull his Chemistry grade up, he'll race the 1 mile and the 2 mile.

You are a stronger woman than I am!!!

Wife getting her Coast to Coast Medal at Disney World.  It was a girls trip and the three of them were all dressed like this.  They had way to much glitter and WAY to much fun to be running a half.  2 of them PR'd and wifey was just seconds away.

First lesson today with the swim coach (who is also my cousin).  She said my form was not good enough yet to go fast .  There goes that theory.  Focused today on closing "holes".  I hadn't heard that before, something else to worry about.  Great workout though. 

Kim and Linda - at the same time?  really?

I think I have seen that Rapuntzel movie 374 times in the last year.

And Chet - 'Closing holes?' Really? You say 'closing holes?'

You know the california girls are lurking...........

Yeah...I have spent most of my life trying to open them...

Not much to brag about here...

Didn't even get in the skiing that I normally get - but that was more due to the crappy winter then the travel.

Hitting the trainer tonight so March can come in like a lion!

All dirty thoughts aside, spill it.  What is closing the hole in swimming?

x2.  I thought I was the only one who did not get this description.  (And, yes, I recognize the further comic opportunities i just created.)

Not a term I had heard of either.  It may been just a way to explain it as I looked at her with a confused look on my face.  I am not as flexible as I would like to be so apparently I am not getting a straight extension.  She said I am not lifting my head but I am dropping my shoulder creating a hole between my shoulder, head and arm.  It is really apparent when I was doing my kick drills on my side with one arm extended.  It was not my only form issue, just the one that was new!!

Trevor - the girls were on a roll.  I kind of wanted to see where it was going to go
