Unfortunately with my very lite training schedule I have already managed to get a stress fracture of my foot so no more running or racing for me for a while :(. Just a bone density scan next Wednesday to see if I have early osteoporosis (at 34!) One doctor told me it may be 3 pregnancies and breastfeeding in 3 yrs has drained my body of calcium- so please take some calcium supplements because I'm sure Henry is doing a good job of draining you of calcium!. Good on you for running and training. I'm actually a bit envious.<BR/><BR/>Rebecca DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-54786505762387466732008-07-24T20:07:00.000-05:002008-07-24T20:07:00.000-05:00Aaaah ha ha!!!

It totally would have been better if you were repeating your "mantra" out loud while running with your helmet. <BR/><BR/>The positive spin on all that is that you were running with some extra weight (helmet, not sundaes) so when you take it off and run next time, you will definitely be a wicked pissah runner.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918320802884963966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-8327621314736906552008-07-24T19:15:00.000-05:002008-07-24T19:15:00.000-05:00OMG ...

As a reasona...Congratulations on wearing a helmet!! As a reasonably dedicated biker myself, I am stunned by stupid people who lack the common sense to protect their brains!<BR/><BR/>And, yes - five month ago for a tune up is recent. My husband rides a century (100 miles) or so every weekend and only gets his bike (fancy, expensive) tuned once a year. <BR/><BR/>You might want to search out some chain lube. I'm checking our bottles and they are from ProLink. I'm not really mechanical, but if I squirt this on my chain once a week (I ride about 150 miles a week), it not only takes off all the "oog" (I'm sure there is a technical term for this), but the bike peddles much more smoothly and I feel like I'm so much faster! Just squirt some on a rag, a little on your chain, and slowly turn your peddles backwards with one hand while the other holds the rag on the chain.Repeat until you stop getting so much oog on the rag.<BR/><BR/>And, don't be embarrassed by the helmet while running - just tell them you are cross-training; it is a good all-around excuse. People don't really know what you mean, but it sounds jock-like so they don't question. I recently hurt my Achilles tendon and have to lay off the bike for a while (sob!), so I've started swimming at the Y. I was feeling reasonably confident to stuff myself in a swim suit (bikers stuff themselves into lycra shorts but no one else really sees me on the bike!), until I noticed some of the senior citizen ladies staring oddly at me. Apparently my biker tan - pale white from mid-thigh up and dark down to my sock marks, with the farmer tan arms and oddly tan finger ends where my gloves stop half way down my fingers - kind of stands out in a swim suit. At least I think it was the weird tan lines, not the general chubbiness I also haul around on the bike! :) I just informed them I was cross-training, and at least it stopped them from staring at me so directly. All good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-6221552699765141442008-07-24T15:44:00.000-05:002008-07-24T15:44:00.000-05:00Very funny.

So.... if I milk it a little longer perhaps I can loose about 10 lbs altogether! Then I will be able to run further b/c I don't have as many extra pounds to carry around!!!! Sounds like a plan! <BR/><BR/>I have slipped into a funk and haven't done much since June! But I'm feeling sluggishly optimistic w/the helmet story and will get back to work this weekend. Thanks for a bit of movtivation.

I even FINALLY got my new sneakers (been trying to do that since April) and a cheap watch to time my miles. I'm up to about 2 miles of solid running. BUT I haven't run since Monday.
