What an awesome weekend for you and your son, Rick -- thank you so much for sharing with us!

No running for me today -- I will be in the pool though this evening -- looking forward to it!

I will be doing speedwork -- LOTS of intervals -- looking forward to it.... it's a beautiful day for a run!

Really looking forward to reading all the "I'm in" posts!

With my Nao, it does not budge at all -- very comfortable -- I know someone else who wears one, and he wears a cap with the brim towards the back, and the battery pack sits, supported on the brim, but I honestly don't find it heavy -- I wore it for roughly 8 hours and Sulphur and it simply was a non...

Rest day again today -- Coach wants 2 rest days after a race!

Will be giving a talk on motivation at one of the local RR's tonight -- that will be fun! Always enjoy these!

I LOVE my NAO (petzl) - not cheap, but a true gem -- might be a bit overkill for what you are looking for!! I like the long burn time, the brightness, and it is very comfortable....

Rest day here -- legs are a little stiff from yesterday's efforts -- I am sure tomorrow will tell the true story!

Awesome job -- you clearly have some natural speed since you are able to run a strong half on relatively low mileage!

Ran the Army Half today -- not my best performance, but a great event! Very motivating!!

Hope you feel better soon Jesse --

RA - enjoy Ottawa....

I picked up my race kit, and got some errands done -- will be doing an easy 4 km a little later, then some kind of a "carb-loading" dinner, and early to bed! Tomorrow is Race Day!

Have sent a note to Coach to see what she thinks of me running the half two weeks after the marathon which is two weeks after another half..... LOVED this event when I ran it in its first year!!

Great race -- great report -- you have set the bar a little high for those of us who want to Try-a-tri soon!

`Tough as nails`, eh!! Well, I`m in good company!!!!

Well done -- sounds like a tough race, but you did it!! Awesome!! Hope to get a chance to run more km`s with you in your next training session -- would be great to see you in Hali (it`s on my radar for next year as well).

Heading out the door at 5:00 a.m. for 40 km run -- what folly!!

This will be followed by a shower and then a 9-hour drive -- VACATION: Here I come!

Good news: I paced my runner to 2nd place in her age category (40th overall, out of 178 starters and 88 finishers).
Bad news: I think I caught buckle fever.

Buckle fever is a GOOD thing -- go for it!!! Oh, and good job on the pacing!!

Nothing new here today -- a run and a swim -- oh, and some packing, because tomorrow I GO ON HOLIDAYS!!

Looking forward to tonight's run -- 5 km w/u, 7 km at RP, and 3 km cooldown -- will be heading down to the RR for the faster bit to make sure that there will no slacking -- will hook up with some faster friends that are recovering from races (it's the only way I get to run with them -- i.e. keep up)...

Sent off for the free sample menu, and it looks really yummy -- will likely try once we're back from vacation in a couple of weeks -- this could be a really good solution to the endless "What's for dinner" dilemma in our house!
