I got a long ride scheduled for the morning (5 hours) and then nothing scheduled the rest of the weekend. I love having off weekends where we can just do whatever we feel like doing.

Nice 15K run on saturday with a friend.

Going mountain biking w/ the hubby on Sunday - should be fun as I haven't gone all year! Me thinks the trees and I will become well acquainted!

And like you, some much need cleaning of closests over the weekend. I start a new job on Monday and need to break out the fall clothes!

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Proud member of the Guru Cartel, EH!

Tonight I plan to hit the pool.

Saturday - I have to work all day. But the job location is in a nice place for a ride so I may try to get there an hour to an hour and half early and get a short ride in before I start my construction oversight activities.

Sunday -- Volunteering at an aid station for a 20-mile Chicago Marathon Training run in the early am. Following that up with a kayak lesson. I have been asked to be on a relay for a kayak race next weekend so I need to refresh my kayak skills. I kayaked twice in high school and once in college.

I think your weekend sounds better than mine!!

Pool tonight
2.5 hr run tomorrow
5 hr bike Sunday (w/a 20 min recovery run)

As much sleep, college football and cold medicine as I can handle in-between!

Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm in LA visiting one of my best friends and her hubby/toddler. We're doing LA stuff, movie, shopping, eating, laying by the pool and looking glamorous. ;-)

2 birthdays to bookend, a wedding and a cyclocross race in between. Will be covering a few hundred miles inthe process.

Awww, Katy's not all THAT evil. Only slightly evil. In a good way. - JasoninHalifax

Two long run/walks this weekend. Three hours on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. Might be helping Erika out on Sunday at the Kirkland Tri if she needs an extra set of hands.

I need to clean the bathroom and kitchen. Hubby will be recruited for those. Going through the closets is a good idea but I'm not sure I'm willing to give up on warm weather yet :-(

Otherwise, planting my butt on the couch with a cat or two. Occasionally a dog will rotate through as well.

Fri: Going to race at the velodrome and taking the mini-Katy with me. We plan to indocrinate her in track and taco trucks.

Sat: Riding the rollers until the mini-Katy wakes up. Then laundry and bagels and coffee and a pedicure. Wedding and party later.

Sun: RACE CROSS! Then stop by the track on the way home for a fund raiser. Drink a little beer.

Covering the same few hundred miles that Katy will be. Maybe more with the trip to the track tonight.

OMG I don't know why but that is so freaking funny...


Getting my energy up to drive to Phoenix, which in my opinion, on a Friday afternoon, is hell on earth...

I got my new Splish bikini with skulls on it in the mail today... woo hoo!!! Can't wait for swim practice next weekend to wear it..

Come crawling faster

Hopefully printing a run of t-shirts before packing up the tribabe.com roadshow for an event. I have some cute new ones I can't wait to share but I need to load them on my web site first.

Saturday, spectating age group nationals at Hagg Lake, cheering for a dear friend who's in town from Texas. Driving north to Kirkland afterward, hoping desperately to get to Nordstrom before closing time, I need moisturizer in a bad way.

Sunday, setting up tribabe.com roadshow at Kirkland tri, hoping to have a good sales day since the season is almost over and I've worked my butt off all summer. Get to drive home 4.5 hours after and will likely rest on couch with the dog for whatever remains of the day.

I've had marathon weekends all summer, I'm either on the road or in the woods (literally) so I'm almost looking forward to the rainy season so I can get some rest. It's been a great summer!

I am sick, so resting and trying to get better.

I went to a gentle yoga class tonight and that felt good.

oh, homework. how did I forget to put that first?

It's raining = 6 hrs ride on the trainer!

Funny... I was JUST thinking about you as I was on my way to work in the pouring rain. That sucks the big one.

Yes it does sucks big time! I was sort of planning for rain anyway so I've got stuff to watch. My longest ride ever on the trainer was 5 1/2 ... but since a trainer is a more efficient workout I may cut it to 5 hrs ...we'll see, I'll get back to you later today!!! I just hope it's dry tomorrow for my 3 hrs run (no way I'll run 3 hrs on a treadmill!)

why are yo working on a Saturday?

I started taking Thursday's off so that I can break up my long workouts. I was hating life doing both of them on the weekend. Depending what my new coach says that may change again, but I make my schedule how ever I want it so for now I'm rolling like this.

You should just run in the rain. Sooooo refreshing (can you tell I'm a true Vancouverite hehe) :)

Who's your coach? If it rains tomorrow I'll run outside anyway but I prefer when it's dry ...but for some reason I always end up training for an Ironman when the weather is really crappy here (IMAZ 07 & Nov 08)!

The coach will officially be named when I get back from Kona :). For right now I'm just doing what I want - thinking about the Seattle Half, but not holding my breath on it.

We gotta get you doing IMC. Perfect time of year for good summer training!

I just did a 3 hour run in the pouring cold rain. It sucked. But, I got a big soy latte and scone from Starbucks afterwards so all is right with the world once again. I have another run tomorrow and I think it will be more of the same weather. I gotta get used to it so I tell myself to suck it up Princess!

I'm SICK OF STUDYING

all this work to do: a quiz for my pre med class on Tues (pathophysiology of asthma, a couple of dermatology questions... something else...). Bunch of stuff to read for working on my thesis, have to read someone else's thesis and write a quick summary of the content/methods/structure of that, for my "how to write your thesis" class. Couple chapters to read from "How To Write a BA Thesis" for the same class. Physics to study, test Thursday. Don't want to study!!!!

though I felt well enough to swim this morning, and do my foam roll-hip strength-shoulder strength routine after. Visited my grandparents.

back to work :P

I just got a great weight workout done in the middle of my work day. And I sure am glad I quit school lol.

You were supposed to do 6 on the road? My coaches from last year said that workouts done on the trainer should last between 50-75% of what the workout was supposed to be on the road so you did more than enough!
Way to go!!!

I'm watching the clock slowly count down the last hour of work. Hurry up clock!!!! Man ST is quiet on the weekend. Good reason to stop working Saturdays haha.

My mommy is in Italy so I get restaurant dinner with dad. No cookies allowed :(

---

______________________________________

well, restaurant dinner sounds good, why no cookies?

I'm justifying cookies as "I need the calories to help gain swimmer muscle back." I'm not sure sugar actually works for this but the glass of milk I had with them has some protein in it.

I always did almost the full hours on the trainer too. If my training schedule said a 4 hour ride I spent 4 hours on the trainer.

Did another run today, 2 hours, and yes, it rained. I came home and slept for a couple hours. One of my kitties got punched in the eye by another furry resident of the house so she has been very quiet and snuggly. My nap is all her fault.

Unfortunately I didn't do any laundry except for the smelly workout stuff. I wanted to clean out the closet too but that didn't happen either. Maybe I'll be able to work from home one day this week and get some stuff done.

Yeah, I think the time in the saddle is important too, but it was a good session anyway. The longest I ever spent on the trainer is 5 1/2 hrs ...
I was very good with my run today, I had a 3hrs run scheduled and did 3:02 at a good pace ...if I can run like this next November I'll be happy! I'm 8 weeks out of IMAZ and feeling really good about it (as long as I don't get hurt racing Xterra in 2 weeks)

2 birthdays to bookend made it to the first, good food, good wine, chocolate souffle! (missed B-day #2 due to cx mishap below)
a wedding beautiful ceremony on a beach with perfect weather, good times with good friends at the reception.
cyclocross race I was having an awesome race. Felt good, heading for a podium spot. Crashed out. Today I have a cast and a sad face. Dammit, I just registered for cross nationals and bought my plane tickets last week.

It was quite the weekend.
