They remain consistent and are both putting in a great effort. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>

This thing has been great motivation for me. Today was my rest day but I still did my core stuff cause I thought the team could use the 4 extra points <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> If it werent; for this I would have skipped my abs, planks, and push ups routine today..so thanks guys!!!

 

[triciaflower]

yay!!<br><br>
Thanks for the update haha.<br><br>
This VRAA is keeping me on track. And you guys are the best!!

 

[pace2race]

What MP and triciaflower said. Never would have tried the bike on Sunday if it weren't for VRAA. Turned out to be great for my strained hamstring.

 

[hahaoya]

Does anyone have any races coming up this weekend or the next?<br><br>
What else is everyone training for? How is training progressing?<br><br>
To our Badass in Training folks, how is everything feeling?<br><br>
I have the Muddy Buddy on the 4th, but after that nothing until Thanksgiving Day, and I'm not sure this VRAA will be running.

 

[hahaoya]

Check out my new avatar, just for Team D! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

[hahaoya]

3 tight recovery miles.<br><br>
I could have bagged it, but I slogged on for Team D!<br><br>
Going to do laps tonight...and core stuff...

 

[pace2race]

I've got a 20k trail race on the 21st and a 50k road race on the<br>
28th. I'll be lucky if the left hammie holds out. Right now it hurts...<br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/BangHead.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="bandhead"> Love the new avatar!

 

[BigGahoona]

I too feel motivated to get out there and Just Do It when I know that my teammates are doing the same. I wanna keep up my end of the deal!<br><br>
I have a 10 mile race on November 4 and the Philly Half on November 18th.<br><br>
I've been more able to participate this round of VRAA, I'm not moving and starting a new jobby job anymore. I'm settling in, getting into a groove, which includes a regular workout regime. Yeah!!<br><br>
Lifting weights tonight, spin class tomorrow, running Friday, long run on Sunday. Sneaking in a massage on Saturday, not worth any points but dammit I deserve it!

 

[Xena]

My next race is The Houston Marathon on Jan 13th but all my long runs until then are above 16 miles ..so I will be logging in soem decent pioints on weekends even if I am not racing...when does this end???

 

[hahaoya]

I'm really sick at the moment. I attempted a swim yesterday, but halfway through my first lap I had to stop for a coughing break and my ears hurt. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad"><br><br>
I haven't slept in four nights, and last night I coughed with such force and persistence that I started to gag and thought I was going to puke. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad"><br><br>
One more day and I'll have this cold licked, I know it.

 

[triciaflower]

Get better haha!<br><br>
Stay in bed and don't push yourself.<br><br>
Here, have a tissue... <img alt="" src="http://jeroenr.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/w_toro_blk.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

 

[BigGahoona]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~healing vibes~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

[joplus]

After the dnf disaster in twin cities, I'm pretty much recovered and training for a marathon in mid-December. So I should be getting some decent mileage in soon.

 

[runinbehind]

Oh, wow...I just stumbled upon this thread. (Hope you're feeling better Haha).<br><br>
I'm trying to keep up my end of things you all. My mileage isn't very much, but I keep slogging away. I was having some trouble with my foot, which I thought was achilles. A visit to my podiatrist put those fears to rest, so I'm feeling much more like I can commit to more running and even a few races now.<br><br>
I'm registering for a 5K on the 10/28, a 3.5 mile on 11/4 and a 7 mile race on 11/17. Those are my plans.

[hahaoya]

I am feeling much better, thank you for that. I really got hit hard with this cold after my half on Sunday. I did get the dry heaves one day because I was coughing so badly.<br><br>
I'm going for a run very shortly and tomorrow I'm doing my first brick workout to gear up for Muddy Buddy. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

[triciaflower]

uh, quick question... What is a brick workout? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/confused5.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="confused5">

 

[pace2race]

It's "trispeak". You work two disciplines during a workout, one after the other without rest just like you would in a race. Usually means bike/run. It can also be swim/bike. You hear how biking is good cross training to rest the muscles used in running? Try a hard bike followed by a fast run with no rest other than racking the bike. It just sucks!
