Master  3870     |  Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 CLOSED Thread 2Originally posted by jbwills Thought I would share this minor accomplishment. Today did my 3.5 mile Tempo run, target has been getting below 8:00 PPM for the loop. I did it once for the Mothers Day race, but that is easy with people to chase after, today did it in 27:57 (7:59 PPM). So happy with breaking it with just me a running partner running. Ultimate target is getting down to 7:00 PPM before I leave here in Sept, but was a nice intermediate goal accomplishment. I am shooting to get back to my 8:00 PPM for 10 miles on training runs. Steady running and working out have helped and getting me closer to the goal. Nice! New target in your sights |

Ha! Awesome… I'd vote 140.6. Lotta ground to have covered! Side note: had my aero bar shear off my cockpit on a ride yesterday at ~35mph. Interesting, to say the least. No wreckage, thankfully, and my LBS is fixing it up and will have it back (and tuned up, even!) by Thursday! FastSplits (said LBS) just ROCKS! On my roadie tomorrow and Wednesday, so my neck will at least be happy. And now back to your regularly scheduled programming... Matt Yikes! How did you stay up??? |

My training routine has been shot to heck and I've really been missing riding my bike. Despite that, I've managed to get some exercise by taking long walks on the beach and I'm headed to the pool later today for a swim. It's really amazing how much difference altitude makes. I PR'd my 5k by ~1:30! No RR yet; still trying to figure out how to access my results. Even though it was called the Wild Goose Chase, there were no geese, either to be chased or doing any chasing. The race itself was a nice little local event with about 165 racers. It was a little humbling, however, to hear the times of the winning 10-13 y.o. kids, who were way faster than me!!| 2014-05-21 8:31 AM in reply to: 4agoodlife |

It is going to start at 0400 instead of 0600 like the last. It is still going to be after a shift at work, but should be done before the temps get to hot.

I'm sort of toying with the idea of 2015 being The Year of the Half -- half marathons and 70.3s and stuff. A lot of will depend on Kevin's schedule next year. So many races, so little time! |

Veteran 2842 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 CLOSED Thread 2 Hmmm.. lots happening here - as always! In no particular order: IMO, if you run the distance - open or after a nice warmup swimming and biking - it counts. As for PR's, pick whatever's faster (open almost always). There is, however, a huge difference in training for an open run vs. a run at the end of a tri - as there is in racing it and the recovery needed. After a good hammer on the bike, I can only hurt myself so much. In an open run, I can bury myself MUCH deeper! OK - have to finish my thoughts later. gtg for the moment. I'm sure you're all holding your breath. HA! Matt |

This is the new sticker. At first I didn't like it but it's growing on me now Edit: I just ordered a regular 140.6 from cafe press. Now I gotta decide what to do. I think I prefer the standard 140.6. For whatever that's worth! That's what I have. 140.6 magnet on one side and 26.2 on the other. Man, I didn't know WTC didn't do just the 140.6 sticker anymore... looks like I'll be ordering one! Or a magnet... or something else that would be small enough to pack that won't take up any space at all for moving... I have no idea if this is weird or not, but I don't consider myself to be a person that has done a marathon... I've never done a stand-alone, the only 2 I've done have been at the end of IM distance races! Nice! Also kinda weird is that I have no desire to do a stand-alone marathon, but somehow doing one at the end of an IM race is okay? I'm clearly not quite right in the head. I stopped running marathons a few years ago. Every once in a while I think I'd like to run one, but then I realize that I really don't! HMs just seem so much more reasonable. You guys are funny! Seems there's no "I'll never..." anymore. Well, unless it's "I'll never win..." It used to be I'd never run an HM, then do a tri, then a marathon. Now they each have something special attached to them and I can't say never. hehehe...To echo your HM sentiment, I was just telling DH last night that I have the HM itch and there are two windows open on my browser searching AZ for possibilities. Don't think that we didn't notice the location! Weeellll, I said searching, not paying for. lol Don't think I'll be registering for anything more than 2 weeks before. |

YAY!!! Doing a 12k walk with friends on Sunday had really wanted to run it but the pups have just taken up so much of my time over the last 3 months that I just couldn't fit the training in. Luckily they are very cute and easily forgiven. This is Countess de Poh (Dee) Totes adorbs, as my niece says! |
