    good To white bear lake 22 mi 01:15 17.6mph pace

    Got the time trial bike out for the first time in 8 months! I always forget how wobbly I am on that thing the first time out (glad I didn't wait for new Brighton tri next week to dust it off)

  2. swim
    Shore view Y 2000 yd 00:35 30:47 pace

    Can't wait for the outdoor long course pool to open! Nice straight 2000 before work today.

  3. I've got marathon training blues! With a little over 4 weeks until grandmas, I'm torn on what to do about some budding injuries.

    My piriformis is still troubled (which causes hip issu... read more

      IMHO I think now that you've hit your 20 miler you best rest and heal - go easy on the running, cross-train if it doesn't hurt... this may not get you your best time - but at least you will show up to the start line healthy. The alternative might be not showing up at all, or DNFing.

      I think Amanda's right. Sounds to me like a good excuse for an early taper and enjoy a bit of extra time on the bike this weekend. One more long run isn't going to make much of a difference to your race result but failing to rest as new injuries come on could set you back for a long time.

      Thanks guys, I need to hear this. I am going to skip runs for the next few days at least and re-assess.

      I'm impressed with your trainer work - I hate the trainer! Do you have any tri's on your race schedule?

      Did you take it outside?

      I stick with the trainer indoors when I have a finite amount if time - it would have been nice to go outside today! Also, the only place I can get in solid intervals is indoors.

      way to tough it out and finish! last year i was supposed to run20 and ended up turning back but still got in 17 miles. the forecast had called for 40% chance of a shower and i liked those odds but the reality was it was more like 100% chance of monsoon like downpouring.

    commuting 10 mi 00:40 15.0mph pace

    just a great day to be outside. To work, to boys school, then home. Probably not much longer on the tag-a-long for him, but he's just finally adding some power!

      Biking is so much fun these days! We have a Burley thing for Nigel and he's crazy about it. Can't wait til he can pull his own weight...

      I'm doubtful - Nige has only rode for like 30 min stretches so far, so, not sure how he'd deal with 3-6 hours! Also won't Sunday be rainy?

      Doubtful for me too, hubby works and tag-a-long only good for 6-10 miles tops.

      are you only going for a 3:40? might be selling yourself short there, you probably got at least a 3:30 in you judging by some of the workouts you've logged!

      thanks Milton! But, I'm afraid of distance - half marathons are even a bit too long... 3:40 is a good goal because its BQ.
