Easy swim drills for me tonight. Easy in terms of effort level, that is. Might try the finger-brushing thing instead of pushing off, but then again...I'm with Boggs. What kind of willpower would be required for that?? Wow.

Happy Monday everyone (said with a grain of sarcasm). Short week for me, though. Exciting stuff coming up, will post a report before the end of the week.

Rolling back around to the work week after a magnificent weekend in which I think I drank more beers than miles run, and considering I had 26.2 miles, you can imagine I'm a bit sore and sluggish today.

Great soccer match last night. The buzz was undeniable Beckham has stirred something good, even though he didn't get a minute due to injury. After the final whistle blew to end the match, my oldest nephew, forever the little sneak, climbed down a few rows and got way up front where Mr. David "The Savior" Beckham was starting to sign autographs. A few minutes later, out the little bugger came with an autographed ticket. He was happy. His uncle was stoked!

Lot great workouts over the weekend, folks, especially those race-sim bricks. Keep up the good work.

Thanks also for the kudos yesterday!

Me...

3 mile recovery run to the park and back. Legs felt sluggish but had pace in them if I wanted. I didn't want. Instead I did a few "butt kicks" to loosen them up and get them moving faster.

Rest day.

And good day, Tri-berries!

Julie - If you come across me on the Timberman course, will you change my tire?

45min easy spin on the stationary bike at lunch for me. 9 holes of golf tonight. Going easy this week...

60 mins on the trainer for me today - was due to do a 2 hr ride but DS6 wasnt able to go to the schools summer activity day today due to illness so I ended up on the trainer instead - but better than nothing -

He actually made me bring the trainer indoors and watch a couple of episodes of Dr Who with him while I span -

Thor V jealous of your nephews Autograph - although I did get to see Beckham play a few years ago when Man Utd visited Arsenal it ended up 1-1 so all went home happy (or dissapointed depending on your point of view)

Have a good week guys

Neil

3.5ish miles. Running naked. Well, polar wasn't working, does that not count? 42 minutes. Easy run, didn't feel so easy. First run since Steelhead.

I'm going to be posting less, but I'll still be around. Working is just killing me now and I need to regain some balance and right now, work is out of balance.

So if anyone needs me and I don't respond, please feel free and backchannel.

Will try to at least get workout postings up!

Mike, that's a great idea about the pool. I am going to try that on Wednesday.

Julie, congrats on the tire changing! That's got to be a load off your mind. I just ordered some fix-a-flat like stuff for my own peace of mind. Some more puncture-proof tires are also going to be on the menu after I ruin the cheapo ones that came with my bike on the trainer this winter.

Thor, you are just amazing with your 'round the lake eight time marathon. Your support crew was even more amazing. I expect an invite for a leg or two for next year's 2nd running. And, isn't it nice when a football game at Gillette attracts 35K people and it's not the Pats playing but the Revs?!?!

Me, 3.8mi RUN down along the Charles River. Yes, not a slog but a run. What a beautiful evening! It was cool with just a touch of humidity. It was so nice to be able to run and enjoy it. I love summer. It's my favorite time of year. However, I am looking forward to some nice fall running and riding.

I also got my bike fixed up at the LBS and had them do another fitting. They swapped out my stem for one a cm shorter and they raised my set a cm. Wow. What a difference. I am going to take it for a shakedown ride tomorrow. If I flat, the tires go in the trash.

Good night tri-peeps.

Yay Julie! Way to tame the flat monster!

Functional strength training for me tonight. I think tomorrow will be the day to steal away for a little mid-week OW.
