It's funny too, because i've read on BT a hundred times that if someone is going over an hour they use this or that. I wasn't taking in anything on long rides (3+ hours) or long runs (1-2 hours). Now I'm taking in nutrition every 25 - 30 minutes and yesterday's ride is a perfect example of how much better it can be with more energy, and consequently a better attitude. I was riding in to 25mph winds for almost 2 hours but stayed positive and enjoyed the ride (and REALLY enjoyed flying back with the wind to my back). |

| Seattle | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED I think the takeaway from streaking is about the overall beneficial trend of consistency and volume. A day here or there doesn't change that overall trend. |

Elite 4435 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED KansasMom - 2013-03-05 7:09 AM well I've had this before and it's torn swimming or in a step class. With a run/walk strategy it seems to loosen a bit. I would say the stiffness and tightness increases when it's not being used. But I'm not dumb I would stop if it was that bad. Last night I was on the couch it's 85 degrees the last thing I felt like was heading out the door. It was a real case of HTFU. And the nausea if felt all day left when I did. The foam roller got into that calf and some ice and my reward a glass of red. I'm only on day 32 of my streak no drama to me if I stop and restart for the third time Asalzwed - 2013-03-04 2:05 PM KansasMom - 2013-03-04 2:02 PM Asalzwed - 2013-03-04 1:41 PM jobaxas - 2013-03-04 1:38 PM So a sore calf is limiting my output I don't want it to tear as I've done that and it hurts.

Stunning! While I would love to live near the ocean or a bay I do enjoy our 310 days of sunshine each year. Notice the clouds in all my pictures did you? LOL Yeah - it is cloudly / drizzle like rainy here a lot...but that is what gives us all the Trees, Green and Water... All of which I love. I must admit though, I'm sure glad I took a likin' to runnin' in the rain. I also took up Scuba Diving as an activity I can do in the winter, since it doesn't matter if it's raining or not when you are under the water. Not to mention, Giant Pacific Octopus and Wolf Eels are 2 of the most awesome creatures to see - and they are all over the Puget Sound. Our summers are beautiful though (shhhh, don't tell anyone) and when the sun is shining, I don't think there is a more beautiful place on earth. Where do you live? edit - just looked at your avatar and saw where you live... Cool! not sure I'd want to swim with them tho... You sure? With all those extra arms, octopuses are fun to hug. Is it Octopuses, Octopi, or Octopodes... Find the answer here... (this gave me a chuckle) I'd rather have Octocake than Octopi. An Octo3.14159 I thought it was funny! And clever! I wuv you. |

I like your opening and closing shots with the drops of rain on the blades of grass. I enjoy nice scenery as well as seeing little pieces of where our manatees reside and play. And running in the rain is fun! Thanks Mel... I would like to purchase a GoPro Black edition and make some really cool running videos... Eventually I will get one. |

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED A nifty story from this weekend... We bought my bike and then had lunch before heading to a local running store to look for some new shoes for me. I've been running less and less in my Nike Frees because they're just about dead, but I love them. So...shop has a sale table outside that I check before I go in. Lots of NB and Asics, but almost nothing in my size or even Nike at all. One box...ONE...of 8.5. Holy cow! So DH takes them in to check price because not marked on box at all. They ask where he got them, and he says on table outside. They tell him they weren't supposed to be on sale. Manager checks the box and it's hot from sitting in the sun. He says ok, I guess they're on sale. LOL $30 off |

CLOSED I'm sure it has been covered somewhere, sometime, but could y'all yinz (a little Pittsburgh-ese in there even though I'm not from that part of PA) humor me and help with some long distance running/nutrition questions? How, what, when and how carried should I eat/drink in runs over an hour? Yesterday I did 7 miles which took pokey ol' me 1 hour 20 min. I ate a Gu around mile 4.5 or 5, I think. Didn't take water or liquids along because carrying my handheld water bottle thingie that far didn't sound like it would be fun, but if that is what I need to do, I will HFTU. Do the manatees eat gels, gummies, real food and how do you carry said food/drink? I'm guessing over an hour drink something other than water? |
