Yeah, I use it. Works great for what I need. And it syncs with the desktop version automatically, so you can see all of your workouts in one place. I can see my progress for the last 2 years. The premium version will also track your heart rate as well.
I use mapmyride, assume it's about the same thing. But not while I'm running/riding, just to log later.
I really like the DS Racers. They're sheer enough that you won't be protected against water (e.g., damp fields prior to a race start), but for road running, they're a great, light-weight shoe.
Likely you tore your plantaris muscle. Your tree swinging days are now over. Luckily I don't think you need that to get a good ride in.
It will definitely help.
If you're incredibly lucky, maybe it was just a bad cramp. But if you partially tore/strained a plantaris or soleus or calf muscle, plan on a number of frustrating weeks where you won't be/shouldn't be running. Fingers crossed.
Thanks. I'll probably give them a try. I meant more the holes that are cut into the bottom of the shoes for drainage. Seems like things/water would get sucked up in there but it's not like I'd be running on trails or anything with them.
Yeah, I was making the point that in wet conditions, the water is as likely to come in from the sides/top as through the holes in the bottom (your foot is not as elevated off the ground as it would be in a more padded shoe, so you're more subject to any degree of damp or wet conditions). I hope you like them!
Yeah, I told her no. That's what another $300-$400? That is just a money pulling scheme. Disney knows how to jump on the spender and enjoy the ride. They are now involving the cruise to the race week. If you cruise during that week and run the island 5K you get this shinny thing. Just so happens it is a slow time for the cruise line. Brilliant.
Goofy challenge is open. Dopey challenge is sold out. Go figure.
Dopey is closed because either the 5K or 10K is sold out. Need all 4 to be available to get the Dopey challenge. The Island 5k is done every morning when docked at Castaway Cay. We get off before anyone else. I must say it sounds like it would be better then it really is. It can be hot and no shade. Also, most of the path is covered with bushes on the bike trail. I wish they would cut them down so we can run with a better view.Sand said:
I'll definitely toe the line. I shut down my running several days ago when I had some tightness in the same spot on the soleus (just below the calf) while running some moderate intervals on the track. I'm going on the assumption that this will help heal me up for the race. I haven't had any problems, but I won't know until warm-ups on Sunday.
I have a 10k on June 7. There is also a 5k on Sunday a few miles from my home that I'm thinking about. Forecast is in the 40s with little wind. It's hard to ignore that with summer upon us soon.Tempo my ###!Looks like you need to sign up for a 10K. You'd kill it.
Nice. I have a 10K the 24th. I'm not sure what I'm capable of...not too worried about a PR but would definitely like to go sub 40 again. Weather is the real X factor...I don't think I've ever done this race when it's been cooler than 80 degrees.I have a 10k on June 7.

With a 19:02 5k in the heat recently, I'm sure you'd be below 40 with decent weather.Nice. I have a 10K the 24th.

Not sure exactly what that one is, but did do a zombie 5k in Hocking HIlls, Ohio a couple summers ago.
you said this "Likely you tore your plantaris muscle. Your tree swinging days are now over. Luckily I don't think you need that to get a good ride in."
Plantaris muscle is a vestigal muscle left over from our ape days. It is often used now as donor muscle as it has no purpose. It is well developed in tree swinging monkeys. So there is the reference to the tree swinging.
I think your general logic is correct = top two + others who meet the qualifying standard. But as Tom Cruise is told in The Last Samurai: "No mind." Same thing here - R can't be thinking about all these factors. (And this probably is just you obsessing
.) He just needs to focus on technique and run crazy fast. Get him concentrating on stride length down the final backstretch, quick rotation rounding the final turn, and a strong arm pump to drive it home. Reach, rotate, ram it home.
The #1 thing I've learned in this chase to become an archery pro is the bolded. We call it the 'duh switch'. When you're competing on the line, you simply cannot think about all of the mechanics of your shot. Just flip on the duh switch and let the shots take care of themselves. You need to trust that all of your training has been engrained into your subconscious and just let the subconscious do it's thing.I think your general logic is correct = top two + others who meet the qualifying standard.

He could not be more calm and the only chat we had about this was me inquiring if he had a plan. Which, I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of which he did. His plan is to try and stay in the top 5, pick things up a bit at the 200 to go and blast the 100 meter home stretch. He tells me over and over again, he doesn't think when he runs, which I believe.I think your general logic is correct = top two + others who meet the qualifying standard.

Already there. He and I touched on this last night too: http://triathlete-europe.competitor.com/2010/04/06/train-brain-realise-goals No track talk today at all except that I'll see him there and for him to text me if he needs anything.The #1 thing I've learned in this chase to become an archery pro is the bolded.

Think about it this way.... when you're out for a run, are you thinking about the 257 different coordinated movements required to propel yourself forward? Of course not.... because your subconscious has learned to do it through years of repetition. Your conscious mind can only think 1 thought at a time.... Don't booger that up with all the worries about your finish time, how much the pain hurts, etc.
Tell him to go run and just sing a song in his head. His body and subconscious already know the effort required for the 800, its just a matter of trusting that and letting go.

knew I should have bought Disney stock.
