Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 97)

Well done on the jogo's!

I will post a full report today, once I get to work and update the spreadsheet.  I will be posting the stalker reports on Fridays.  

Woo hoo!

Thanks, I got mine in for today, so I haven't missed one yet! I am going to keep going until Darren or I spit the bit 

Good work!  I guess you don't "get to" be on the DL this week after all!  Love the new profile pic!

Scary, very scary.  Hoping all our mid-West manatees stay safe.

this puts a new twist on relaxation to the sound of calming water flowing. 

You are the Man!!!! JoGo double done for you!

Nice going! I'm so far behind last year's mileage. But think I have a better understanding so not as much is needed to keep improving.

I swam this morning, so I am 5/5 on JoGo.

For the year, I already surpassed last year in swimming (none in 2012) and biking.  I am about 30 miles away from passing last year's run total.  Think I can do that in June.

They are weekly. I certainly won't be doing all of them but will jump in on occasion. You know, on the days my legs don't actually feel like jello...

Don't worry about putting them in the racers list, if that is why you are asking. Just ignore them.

JOGO completed today.

Running when having a migraine is bad enough, but having the hangover scent of skunk spray in the hood almost did me in.

Oh dear God. And you get into me for training when sick!

I prayed for you and Oscar today. I kinda feel sorry for the poor fat kid. He doesn't do much, though (except run up vet and food bills) so the garage is perfectly fine for him.

I'm 4.5/5 or 5/5, depending on how you look at it ... I got 18min of reflection and meditation in on Tues or Wed I think it was before I passed out again ... fever day. Then again, my goal is taking time to Do That Which Is Not-Doing, so I figure that ain't too bad.

I was half asking about the Racing Manatees list but also wondering if this was the summer version of track workouts with your running group.

And on a random side-ish note ...

I'm definitely not doing the Bali Training Tri tomorrow. Just wasn't well enough for the hurly burly of traveling to Bali, putting my bike (the Tin Canny--Cannondale Synapse) there together etc. Also with being really sick half this week the backlog of shyte to do is staggering.

I may be doing a 10K on Sunday for a training run (would still need to add more, but it would be super fun to do the 10K bit with others). Rego closed but I put in an ahem very personal appeal to the RD so maybe maybe.

Oh. Ok, so they are full on real track meets. They even have the hammer every couple of weeks.

Legit elites come and compete and everything. But they are "all-comers" meets so it really is a full range of abilities. Mostly though, it's aspiring HS, post collegiate and elites. There is season prize money for the best OA performances of the year and everything.

They do not take the place of Wednesday (or Saturday for that matter) workouts. It's also one thing that holds me back a little from committing to doing them often because I imagine I won't get the training benefits from a hodge-podge attempt at a 1600 or a 3000 (or maybe some pole vaulting????) that I would from a series of repetitions or tempo run, geared specifically towards my V02 or LT improvement... if you know what I'm sayin'

Racing Manatees!

JoGo Challenge!
We are doing another JoGo Challenge.  Participation is optiona.  Joanne is our JoGo coordinator and she plans to post weekly updates.   Please post here or in your log when you get your "jogo" on.

JoGo description:  "the challenge is 30 days of 30+ minutes of anything that is mindfully active.  What do I mean by that?  It means that walking to the mailbox, like you do every day, does not count.  It has to be something that is off the couch (you can do something like yoga or walking even on a rest day) EVERY DAY!!!"  (This challege will be going on until roughly the end of June)

I understand.  Training needs to meet your goals but one of your goals is probably to have fun so....

Next week Mutti and I are on our own as Kristin has been working a solid month, all day every day with no time off.

I'm getting piglet delivery for every single meal. Not kidding. Mutti won't know the difference, she'll be delighted, and I sure as hell will be delighted. According to Supersize Me it takes a month for that sort of thing to really start killing you so I figure we'll be fine for a week.

We can even get veggies and salads delivered. Yes.

No fair adding stuff while I am making pretty colors on the Racing Manatees list!
