Singer who runs a smidge

    Nah, I think the high is something like 30 today, and I am way too much a cold weather wuss to get out in it.  Maybe yoga tonight, we'll see.  Definitely yoga this weekend, my knee is fussing a bit, and I'm only about six weeks away from standing on stage in high heels, singing and dancing.  So it's serious knee rehab time.

    When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run.  The only thing that matters is how we have loved.

    Return To Racing

      Greetings from South Beach. Wonderful 5 miler this morning on the boardwalk.  FE time.

        What up, just checking in... Swam (swum?) at the Y yesterday during lunch. Nothing intense, just  cruising up and down a few times, even that made my knee hurt... W. T. F. 

         

        Oh well, looks like it's another week or 2 of sitting around like a slug. Guess I'll focus on losing some more weight and strength training, which I wish I had started months ago. Anywayz, everyone enjoy your training today!

          My presentation doesn't start for 10 minutes but there are people here already so I am looking busy by checking in here. Smile

              This is worse than a race starting line because it would look funny if I was hopping around or doing leg swings.

                Traci, I signed up for the Cotton Row yesterday, both of them.

                 

                I went and bought 2 bikes yesterday, ended up buying new ones after the test rides of a couple used ones. I missed my run, but plan to hit the TM at work before heading home, I really need to do about 10 miles with at least 6 at tempo.

                  What kind of bikes did you get? I'm looking at bikes myself

                      I bought Fuji Traverse 1.7 for me, and Fuji Traverse 1.7 D Stagger, for the Mrs. They were $510 each. Others I was looking at were the Specialized Cross Trail, Conondale Quick 4 or 5, Scott Sportster 60. Just so ya know, it's worse than picking out shoes, or a couch/sofa.

                      Barking Mad To Run

                        Plans are made for a 1pm FE.

                         

                        And my TM arrived.  Box is damaged.  Hoping we don't have to return it.

                         

                        The box or the TM?

                          Done! Think it went pretty well. Now off to find a good food cart.

                           

                          D- Hope the TM wasn't damaged!

                           

                          Mitch- Congrats on the bikes!

                           

                          PAD- Jauntily joining the jabber with a jingle!

                           

                          SO- Sounds like you have a good plan for the downtime.

                          Barking Mad To Run

                            Yay for warmer weather for you, Traci!

                             

                            Cheddar beer soup?  Enjoy your yoga, HsM.  Dancing in high heels on a stage, that must take some practice.

                             

                            The way our temps are going, Damaris, probably the same for us, we'll be in the 90s before May too.  I expect we will both have a lot of over-100-degrees days this summer....oh what fun!

                             

                            Why do you have so many turkeys in your area, Ginny?   Hope the weather behaves for your hike!

                             

                            Sounds like a nice run, Jerry!  Enjoy the FE, give Damaris a big hug.

                             

                            Swam (swum?) Just use the Texas version, SO42..."I swimmed at the Y..."      Sorry about the knee...hurting even in the water, that sucks.   Instead of 'regular" swimming, you might get an aquajogger belt and try pool running.  You will be vertical with this and your legs won't kick as much as when you do regular swimming so that might be easier on your knee. Doc had me doing pool running for my knee surgery rehabs and it did help.

                             

                            Enjoy the new bikes, Mitch!  Dang..$510 per bike?  Must be nice to be rich!     When I need a new bike, I usually just go to Walmart and get the one-hundred-something dollars special...

                             

                            Shoveling compost and mulch today.  Dang, PAD, that sounds like a shitload of work.  Careful of your back!

                             

                            Glad your presentation went well, Zelanie

                              Wow, Scotty, I expected a naughtier remark out of you!  Are you losing your edge?  Turning in your DOMIS card?

                                Scotty - the turkeys are out there because our neighborhood is surrounded by orchards (apple and peach) and cornfields.  We have lots of deer and turkeys in the woods behind the house.  17 at once was a record though.

                                 

                                Mitch - I'd like to get a bike, but I am so totally ignorant I wouldn't know where to start.  I haven't owned a bike in 25 or so years and my DH never learned to ride one.  But I'd like to do some long distance bicycling in the future.

                                 

                                D - hope the TM isn't damaged.
