Haha look at this 10k I did a few weeks ago.
My first 10k race ever. Ran 1:11:29 which gives me an 11:32 mile. Very happy with my time as it is only the second time I have run this distance and it was quite hilly. I'm right in the middle of my...
Gearing up for some tris this season and ran in the Great Race of Agoura 10k this morning! Only the second time I have run the distance, came in at 1:10:57.
It was sooo much fun! 1500 racers of...
Your story reminds me of one of my classmates who came to school with road rash all over his face, arms, and legs. He was riding along and noticed his front brake rubbing the rim on one side, so he...
That's what she said.
I ran my very first 10k today. Not an event, just a run through town. It was beautiful, sunny, and about 60ºF.
At about the 5k point I stopped at a park to use the restroom and get a drink. (I...
HAHAHAH My pet peeve is when I see seats that are too low. I must have seen a thousand students riding their bikes at UC Santa Barbara last week and I wanted to scream at them all. (They would enjoy...
The earlier posts about conceptual bikes made me think about this cycle my brothers invented and now have on the market. It's really fun for kids and adults. You definitely need a helmet though!

I wouldn't know. I just started running last year and I'm almost 47. And I ache more when I DON"T exercise. :)
Last time I was in the pool was the day before Thanksgiving! This morning I did a 400 yd warmup, 5x100s, and 250 pull. My arms were tired during the swim, even though I have been in the weight room...
Went for a 3.25 mile run. Half of it was along our "river." It normally has a few inches of street run-off trickling down it.
I'm about ready to try the barefoot thing too. Might start out in some water socks. I'll let you know. I never know when TE is going to send me into some new obsession. First it was wool, then...
I want to have my VO2 tested also. I scanned through my runs for the last 8 weeks and my average heart rate is 173. These are 30-60 minutes runs. Max gets up to 193 on a hill and that is not quite at...
Wow! Great job! And inspiring too- Thanks for feeding my crazy idea about the LA Marathon next year.
I am a begiiner triathlete well into my forties. I started swimming when I couldn't mountain bike due to an injury. Once I got better I got a road bike to build up my fitness. I loved that, and since...
I'm in the Sierras this weekend and had my first chance to run in cold weather- well, only 38º but that's cold for me! I did about 4 miles on some quiet roads in the woods. At first I tried going...
My pool at the Y opens Monday after being closed for repairs for three weeks. Yay! And it's indoors. Yayay! Of course its 63º out today. I feel bad for everyone in the arctic freeze.
Well today is the day I decided to start adding a "long run" to the routine. I decided to do one big loop because the 5k I run back and forth through my neighborhood gets boring and too many...
Our pool has been closed for three weeks getting replastered. I saw them filling it today. Yay, it will be open on Monday! But the benefit is I have been hitting the treadmill and the weight room. I...
Don't think that this "fan page" is just simple venting. Don't think FB doesn't influence people to violence. We had several kids beat up at a local middle school a few weeks ago on "National Kick a...
Hi girls- I wear the Seamless Sport bras and I love them, so much that I want to try the ones with smaller straps to wear under my regular clothing. Do any of you know the difference between the...
Susan I am wondering if you did a test to get your maximum heart rate? I figured mine on the bike is 205 (that is when I see stars), but I haven't run hard enough to get there yet (I don't want to...
Hi runners!
I started running for tri last summer. My first 5k was part of a sprint at the end of September. Kicked back in October and started up again about six weeks ago. I want to work my...
I bought my son an Icebreaker long sleeve crew neck. That makes me a pusher.
If I get a new car it will be a Jetta Sportwagen TDI. Put the bikes on the roof and it gets better highway mileage than the Prius- 50 mpg.
