What has everyone been up to?

Anyone doing any big training this weekend? I'm looking to do a 2 1/2 hour ride tomorrow night if anyone is interested.

I need to get a 2 1/2 hour bike ride in this weekend too. My wife is due back tomorrow afternoon, so late afternoon or early evening probably works for me.

I'm also looking at a long ride tomorrow, but I think I'm going to try to squeeze it in early - like 6:30am. I need to run on Sunday, if you are looking for some pace booty!

Dave early evening will be great for me. Where do you want to meet?
Jenna, I'll have to pass on the pace booty for this week, I have to work Sunday...but will definitly need to get a good run in soon

Jeff it's really my turn to do some driving and do the ride in your area. However, I really like my quiet route in the county for long rides as I can spend much of the ride looking down and not worrying about traffic and this is much easier on my neck. As long as you have a route with really light traffic that would work too.

Jenna, I need to do an 80-90 minute slow run (the sort of pace that the 3 of us did in Leamington) on Sunday, and pace booty would help me get through that We could meet for part of the run if you don't want to go that far. I usually start my long runs at the Greenway and Arner, but I can try somewhere new.

90 minutes is more than I had in mind, but I think I can stick it out! Especially if we're keeping it to about 6min/km. I'd prefer to run in the evening, if that's okay with you. Any start time between 6 and 8pm would be ideal.

I've never run the Greenway before. I assume it's an easy spot to find? I think I've seen it before...

Dave,

I do have a quiet route...there are just a few short parts that are a bit busy...how does 6
:00 pm sound? I'm a bit flexible with the time so speak up. We could meet at the Marina where the br tri starts.

ACK!! Dave, I'm sorry but I forgot that I have a soccer game tomorrow night at 6pm. If you can wait until Monday to run, I'd be happy to join you then! Otherwise I hope you have a good one tomorrow and I'll try to join you next time. Sorry about that!!

Jeff, 6:00 at the Marina tonight sounds good, see you there.

Jenna and Stef, unfortunately my son plays soccer Monday night so I can't meet for a run then. I do all of my running on the Greenway as the soft surface is easy on my knees and it has lots of trees. It is the old railway that runs from Walker Rd. and Highway 3 south through Harrow and then east through Kingsville. My long runs I park in the lot on Arner just 100 m north of county road 20 (by the grain elevator) and run to Harrow and back. I can do a couple of loops if you want to join me for a shorter run sometime Jenna. You are more than welcome for a Sunday evening run Stef but it is a long drive for you.

Run booty or pace booty is just a little inspiration to keep up with the person in front of you. Here is my pace booty for the bike.

Okay - so when are y'all swimming again?  I have all the time in the world now - so an extra bit of a commute will no longer result in a complete meltdown. *sheepish look*

Keep me posted!!

OWS?  I don't have a bike today - my bottom bracket sounds really bad and I'm going to go make puppy eyes at Matt to see if he can fix it today and tomorrow... I need it for Sunday! (I'm starting to get panicky.)

I could do a swim and a run though...

No one is a member of the Essex Tri Club, Elvin! It's a fake club. But we still have fun anyways.

2pm isn't going to work for me, unfortunately. I have some family things going on today that will probably take all afternoon. Have a good one!
