One more week of heavy marathon training and then three weeks of recovery before racing. Been going hard for 14 weeks now. Starting to feel

Power's out.
Went to a coworker's Halloween party Saturday night. 'Twas an awesome time.
Sunday was leaf clean-up day. What used to take 3 days took about 6 hours thanks to this little guy. Joy.

Mornin!
Fixed the leak in my shower this weekend and it appears to have stayed fixed. Time to start the rebuilding process.

Mason finishing up rear wall, plumber working on underground, steel guy setting columns, 60 and sunny in victor ny looks like I'm leaving work early and enjoying a warm late fall afternoon ride
102/230 in age group. Top half, but not the top 1/3 I was aiming for. Top 11% swim, 29% bike, 44% run. The run did it. Will be interesting to see what the times in each event looked like once they are posted.
The shocker was the swim being my fastest eveny with bike second. Apparently I was built to swim.

I left the windows open last night. I woke up to 48deg apartment. I can't do that again. My feet are still frozen.....
Nice work, Stoney! Look at the top swimmers out there. They are all tall. Height is an advantage when swimming. On the flip side of that, the ideal height for strong runners is 5'6" - 5'8". I'm not saying that is true for all of the best swimmers and runners, but it helps.
Haha. Now imagine if my form gets better...
Arm length helps.
If i can get to a 9min pace i will scrub 24-26min off my overall time. That wil make a huge difference. If i rent aero wheels, another 4-5 min. There are many places I can scrub time.
Just run more. You'll get faster by simply logging more miles and getting those "runner parts" stronger. Working on your base now will help you a year from now. I am running paces now that I literally never thought I could reach two years ago. My first 5K was an 8:52 pace. I'm shooting for a 7:35 pace in my Nov 23 marathon. I mostly credit building a strong base (50 miles per week the past 18 months).
When I was doing my tri's before I was holding 7:30 for hilly (think SF) 7-8 mile runs. It's just a matter of logging mileage. I'm probably going to throttle back my swimming a bit and up my running that amount of time. I need to start loftinf a bit too. I did nothing outside of swimming, biking, and running for the last 5 months.
You can quit talking about powder now! We've still got well over a month (hopefully) until we can start skiing here in western NYAgreed .....
snowed a little here last night...
kidney stones gave me the worst pain ever (in my life) this weekend, ended up pissing and sh!tting myself, not cool. went back to the ER, now have a UTI and passing blood in my urine, surgery set for halloween. getting bored with a laser up the urethra then a stint put in.
^^ Dayum dude ! I have gout which is 2nd in worst pains a human can feel, with kidney stones being the worst. So I have an understanding of what level of character building pain you're in. Good luck, heal up, and enjoy the morphine drip.
I got back from the apothecary, this link does explaining why.

Rehab day 1
I sprained my MCL 6 weeks ago hyper flexing itgetting into the kayak on a slippery dock. I stopped wearing a brace while walking around about a week ago. Icing it now because I just did 15 pain and swelling free minutes on the elliptical and I want to keep it that way. Going to keep it nice and light for a week and if all goes well increase the elliptical workout and start adding in a weight routine. Really want to be able to run and bike again soon.

I woke for the drugs and find out the drugs I have aren't mine so I didn't take them. I lay here in agony as my body won't rest until tomorrow. I work all day without the drugs, that chit a the pharmacy didn't look at what drugs she put in the bag. I don't understand people and how they can be so lazy.
