But, but, that was OJ's stuff!!! So what if he entered with force and used a gun???

Buckeye--great job with your son! It's probably too late this season, but there's a great route that I do with my kids. Park at the ball diamond at Bellepoint. Follow Klondike/Warren Rd/River Rd along the river. There is a series of 'challenging rollers' in the first 5m or so. At one point you will see 'no parking' and 'endangered species nesting area' signs. There's a bald eagle nest, and frequently you can see them in the trees or soaring. Anyway, it's a straight shot--couple dog legs--up to Prospect. Take a left into town, a right at the VFW, up a couple blocks to an ice cream place. They have great ice cream. The small cone is plenty big! Oh, but they will charge you $1.25 to fill your water bottle... There's a BP in the center of town where, if you can stomach the condition of the rest room, you can fill 'em for free! Round trip is about 32m.

Rest day for me following yesterday's brick. I had to resist the urge to run this morning... Taper week for me, as my first tri is on Sunday!

Good job Matt.

Easy day for me today PT tonight followed by a 3 mile run.

Yesterday I got Back In The Saddle for the first time since August 19th. 18 mile ride, including one of my two very hilly routes. I literally had to trick my mind into doing the route, and then I had to make myself do the one particularly hilly 2.5 mile stretch twice, because the first time, I was literally riding the brakes the entire time, and I was sweating much more profusely from nerves than the 35 degree weather warranted. I had to give myself a stern talking to about hills, and about the fact that if I've done this route once, I've done it 100 times.So the second time was a bit easier. I was still a bit "grabby" and my heart was pounding worse than the effort warranted, but it was better. And I did it.

Other than the hills, I was very happy to be back on the bike, and happy to be riding on a gorgeous, if chilly morning. I followed the bike with an easy 2.5 mile run, but then paid for all the good happiness with neck, shoulder and head pain.

1900 yard dark-thirty swim ...

21 mile beach ride at lunch - windy (though with a tailwind, hit a nice 30 mph on the flats).

Reg.

45 minute spin watching OPJ news at lunch. Bike went nowhere, as usual.

Good to hear you're bac out tghere Charlotte! Don't overdo!

1600m swim after a day surfing websites looking at bikes.

home to catch the end of Sri Lanka/Pakistan in the T20 WC - small winner for me on the Pakistan win. Not gonna pay for a bike, but every little helps

Charlotte, sounds like your recovery is going well!

8 miles on a gorgeous day. Calf is a little sore but little sign of pain during a run. During a peak period of half/full marathon training, I always feel, 'running is not necessarily getting easier but I am getting faster'. It looks like my training will be cut short and I will run Towpath marathon in Buckeye state on 10/7. Has anybody run that before? The reason? DH is seriously considering to run a full marathon (O.M.G.) and he wants me to run the last half with him on 10/21 (yes, Detroit). I didn't want to run 13 miles a week before my half (original plan; Grand Rapids on 10/27). I couldn' find any half nearby wk before 10/21. So it looks like 10/7 is it and I have 3 weeks to go. If for some reasons I have to push it further down, then Indy or Elyria in Nov. I just love this last-minute (not quite last minute, but for someone who likes 'plan' and 'schedule', it is!) change

Then, 30 minutes strengthening workout
