sourpuss's training log

[RDJ]

Triathlons are cool, I was training for one last year but we signed up too late so it never happened. When and what distance?

[sourpuss]

wellll....not quite so sure I'll actually do one.
I think there is a mini one here this summer. I think I could be ready for that. I think it's a 5k run, 1/2 mile swim, and 10 mile bike. Hour and a half I would guesstimate. There's still 4 more months of winter here. Haha.

[RDJ]

That's an 8th triathlon, I was planning on doing one of those as well. I still intend on doing one this summer, but it has to be an outdoor triathlon, I don't want to swim in a pool and run circles on a track.

[sourpuss]

Oh hell no. There's an old school a couple of blocks from my folk's house and there's a track there. Last time I was home I went for a run and figured I'd go use the track since it's dirt and easier than running on cement. Dear lord that's boring! I gave up after a mile and went running around the neighborhood.

You need a friend for this. To run with.

Come to think of it, so do I.

[sourpuss]

Yeah, I think it would help to have someone to chat with. Too bad you're on the other side of the continent.

My coach got a call that my opponent for the 14th backed out. (big surprise) But he was able to talk another coach into bringing his girl up for it. I've fought (and beat) her twice but she's really tough. I'll have to really work for it. Hopefully all goes as planned.

It's helped for me, but I've been through 3 different running partners. 2 from boxing and another friend who plays football. No one sticks to it, and I get bored silly with running and have come to dislike it.

Hope this opponent holds up for you. I may be having those issues myself once again for the upcoming nationals. Unreal.

[sourpuss]

This week so far has been pretty active.

Tue, wed and thur: 2 hours boxing, lots of mitts, bag work and sparring

Fri morning: 45 mins swimming for triathlon training

Ended up having to work for someone yesterday so I didn't get my spinning class in.

...and now I'm f*cking sick! I never get sick. WTF?! I really hope this cold is gone by Saturday.

Max out the daily Vitamin C and good luck. Hopefully it is a quick cold virus and not a lingering one.

[sourpuss]

Conditioning today. I'm kicking this cold in the ass.

Morning: ran 2 miles
Evening: 50 minute, all terrain, spinning class.

[RDJ]

When are you returning to ESB? You should have just left the lounge, I don't know if I can ever forgive you for leaving the training section

[sourpuss]

I don't know when my ban is up. I think maybe the end of the month.
Are the back yard brawlers missing me?
