Be your best

Kept HR below 130 which was fun. Very easy and talked all along and wasn't breathless.
Slow. No discomfort or anything. Yay.
Update : It's beautiful outside. It's snowing but it's not that cold (don't laugh... it's 32F). If only our winter could be like that, my desire to move would be a little less gigantic! :)
I bought the new Rise against at lunch. They are coming to Montréal in December. I asked my cousin if she'd come with me if I'd pay her ticket. A smile meant yes. :)
Had fun yesterday at the game and it was very promising. I didn't sell beer or hot dogs, I served soup and egg burgers. Cool job since I was in a little trailer and not in the wind/rain. Took it easy yesterday, just stretched a little.
Work today and long run with a teammate tonight.

"The stick"ed my legs this morning after that long run. Some parts are very tense, but not necessarly because of last night. That hurt a lot.
Somebody I know bought himself a Christmas present. :) It has a bracelet. Gives you time... and distance... and HR... and speed... AND is the ugliest piece of technology EVER!!!
I'm being a bit heavy these days. Eating crap AND not doing anything for a month had a bigger impact than I planned. At least 5 pounds! Doh. In other news, I won a free ticket to meet the cardiologist soon (linked with the study I'm in). I think he wants to chit-chat with me sonner than later after hearing about the BP highscores I registered, even before starting the Vo2 test. Re-Doh! On the plus side, they'll introduce me with a great nutritionist in the next weeks, so that's good. I know lots of people laugh at me when I say I want to lose a few pounds BUT I know i can drop a few without losing muscle. I just have to eat better and less crap. We'll see. Goal by next season = 170.

Guesstimate on the distance. A bit long for my tasting but there was a little change in plans.
First hour = Z1 and then stopped for 5-10minutes to talk and leave one of the teammates home and then head back to the University.
3 x ( 10 x 15 sec @ 100% r=15sec) R=3 min ez.
Iced knees.
Meeting finished late last night, as in past 11. I don't think a lot of positive things got out of it but at least it's a start. After talking about all sorts of things, something I can do in the near future is to bring more newbies into the club's "core" with leadership and being friendly. When I joined the club 3 years ago, people were meeting for a run or swim and nobody was greeting each other and seemed self-absorbed. Now, it's getting a lot more friendlier and there's a team spirit that is starting to grow since last year. I'll try to work on that and make it grow in collaboration of a few of the other old schmocks.
The future of the club is quite uncertain and we'll lose our coach, again, at the end of the next season.

I'll need to include aquajog in my routine soon if I want to up the mileage and not injure my little fragile self.
Why didn't I choose Bocce as my favorite sport?! I'm sure Bocce players don't get up at 4h30 in the morning in order to get their training in!

Guesstimate. Ran with the club. Forgot my HR strap AND to start my watch... Everything was fine. No real pain or discomfort for once. :)
Does a scotch while cooking count as a recovery drink?
Ugh... as planned, I'm a grumpy son of a ...bozo this morning. 4 hours of sleep. Playing hockey that late sucks!

That red "4 new articles" right under 0 new messages in your inbox pollutes me every time I open BT. It's not like I'm used to receive PMs or I'm hopeful but it always gets me... :)
Sad sight... *sigh* It's hanging like that since October 6th, and it'll be like that for a while. Planning on cleaning it soon though and put it together.
