Today I learned something

xr4000 — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 03:56:00 +0000

I got a late start but sporting my reflective vest and seatpost light I planned on doing three laps up on 11th ave. I finished the first lap and was part way through the second when I noticed some runners running two abreast in the bike lane. Neither of them had any reflective gear and they were running with traffic(we all know that runners are supposed to run against traffic, right?). I passed them on the left and as I was pulling back into the bike lane I hit a rock. A couple of hundred yards down the road my front tire flattened.

I guess it was time to learn how to use my new co2 nozzle. I have used one before but this one is quite different. It is a small metal deal the co2 screws onto one end and the other end goes on the tire valve. I got everything ready to go, pushed the nozzle onto the valve and screwed in the co2….nothing. I screwed it tighter, still nothing. Hmmmmmm. Maybe I am supposed to back it out now, so I tried that and it started to leak out of the threads. Better screw it back on. So it’s pretty dark at this point but I inspect the nozzle and realize there is a spring in the stem, ah ha! So I manage to activate the co2 and it fills the tire. Then I notice that I have the tire beaded wrong and I have to let a little air out to get it to seat just right. There is still some co2 left and I am able to fill the rest of the tire. Not wanting to temp the god’s of fate any more I decide to head home.

5k on July 5

Chubby Runner — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 03:14:02 +0000

I was still on my runner’s high yesterday after being able to run for 30 minutes on Tuesday. I was googling what’s happening this weekend around town and found a local 5k. I asked Hubby what was going on for Sunday and he encouraged me to sign up for the race. So, I did! I’m excited. I really think I can run the entire race. That’s my goal…no matter how slow I have to go, I want to keep running.

I haven’t really told any of you this, but I figure now is as good a time as any. (No – I’m not pregnant). My BIG news is….

I’m training to run a 10K.

I’m going to drop everything for cancers below the waist and run in The Underwear Affair ‘09 on August 29, 2009. Yes – I’m going to run 10K through the streets of Toronto in my underwear Mom – aren’t you so proud of me?

For the past couple of months I’ve quietly been chugging out kilometre after kilometre in the heat on my lunches at work. On Tuesday I did my longest run in over a year: 6.85 Km. It felt absolutely incredible! And I’m so glad to be back – I *almost* feel like my old self again. My run was so good on Tuesday that I fell asleep in Sierra’s bed next to her while putting her to bed – LOL!

Today I totally persevered and ran despite not packing any socks in my gym bag. Did you know that running without socks messes your feet right-the-hell-up? I am now sporting an entire box of band-aids on my feet. I’m ok with it though ’cause I managed to run 5K before the pain caused me to stop.

Today’s run reminded me of a great quote that I want to share with you:

You can’t hit a home run unless you step up to the plate. You can’t catch a fish unless you put your line in the water. You can’t reach your goals if you don’t try.
Kathy Seligman

So go on now everyone – get out there, try and persevere! If I can do it, so can you!

A bit more cardio focused this time. It was a really fun class– we did suicides and a lot of drills. We worked on lateral movement (aka what I don’t do running) and it showed me that I need to devote some time to that!

"focus is the directed divorce of mental concentration from physical sensation" - me. yes, the first quote that i consider awesome enough to be attributed to me.

so tonight was a great tempo run. i was good. it was a little like running back in minot. once i hit the last 3 miles, it was a rails-trails deal, and it was FAST. and i knew it. it was at the end, during the cooldown, that i thought up that thought at the beginning. my mind was controlling my body like a puppet; i was getting all manner of cramps and stiches and everything, but i was just like… whatever. i rocked. my breathing was controlled the entire time as well, never went into interval breathing. i’m gonna swim tomorrow, then do a short tempo run on saturday, then long run on sunday.

no pain tonight, in my small nikes. i think my body was made to run fast.

Friday Caption Contest: Tour de France Special

Karl On Sea — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:01:09 +0000

Well, it’s that time of year again - a whole bunch of people in France will be getting very excited about going cycling together. The press will find some drug stories to pedal out (sorry - bad pun), and despite the super-hero efforts of the many, their reputations will be dragged through the road grime by the few.

So in the spirit of The Tour, this week’s caption contest comes from Joe Shlabotnik on Flickr:

Remember, that entering our Friday Caption Contest is simplicity in itself. Just leave a comment below, with a suitably hilarious caption for this photo, and you could be the proud owner of that warm feeling that comes with the respect and admiration of your cycling peers.

Go on - you know you want to!
