For Philadelphia runners, check out some events that are going on locally - the 5 mile city tour sounds awesome to me! I am going to try to run a few miles on the treadmill - it is really hot here, with an expected high of 87. What are you doing to celebrate running today?
A few nights ago I had a triathlon dream - I finished the swim and was on to the bike. My bike was a shopping cart! I was pushing it and running with it - what sparks a dream like that? It cracked me up. I have been thinking of tris and trying to determine when I should set up a training plan for post-baby and still to pick out a good one to do. Unfortunately, I think about 6 months later would be good, but it will be the dead of winter. I think next spring would be a good time for the first tri, if I can get out there and bike - that will be my uncertainty. Are there good websites for training plans for tris?
I'm drawing a blank on cooking lately and haven't done much of it - I need some good recipes for vegetables or all out veggie meals.
Check out Chari's healthy living event over at Take time to smell the roses!
Happy Running Day!
I did a 5k on the treadmill!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a funny dream! I know I had some strange ones when I was pregnant.
What about shooting for a race the end of November? Would that be enough time for you? There are a few bigger races around here during that time and the weather isn't too bad.
That is too funny about your dream! I love having dreams like that and waking up with a smile!
ReplyDeleteHappy NRD! Too funny about the shopping cart in your dream!
ReplyDeleteHappy NRD. No running for me, but I did do a 3 mile walk and cheer on fellow club mates at race tonight!
ReplyDelete4/5ths engaged is how far the head has descended into the pelvis. The head is split into fifths and was 3/5ths engaged 2 weeks ago and is now 4/5ths - no wonder I can't run! 37 weeks on Fri and then it can come any time it wants!!!!
I hear you on the not wanting to cook thing - who wants to cook when you can't eat it!
Take care,
Kaz
I have a decent book on tri training plans that you're welcome to borrow. I also found active.com to be a decent resource.
ReplyDeletei had my first race dream last night, actually. but i was running, not pushing a shopping cart! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy NRD - I ran with my running group tonight and it was gorgeous! Have you looked at a Try-a-Tri? Might have to google it, but I think they run multiple events around the country aimed at newbies to the sport and people who, well want to try one :)
ReplyDeletethose dreams are the best!! Happy NRD!!
ReplyDeleteFunny dream!
ReplyDeleteActive.com is a great resource. Also, the April (or May, I can't remember which) issue of Triathlete Magazine had a training plan for an Olympic distance tri that I'm using. I'll let you know after this weekend how well it works :-) You could try a spin class during the winter to get started!
