I'm happy to say it went very well. Report will be up soon.Great training week. Good luck on your mock tri this weekend. Hope it goes well for you.
Thanks! All I could think about what this episode of Survivor where a girl was screaming because there was a bug deep in her eat and I was done. If it hadn't been an uncrowded country road I'm sure people would have thought me crazy.Fantastic job on your Mock Tri!! A fly in your ear that won't come out is absolutely the stuff of nightmares. EEK!! I would have been going crazy and I'm sure passerbys would have thought I was having some kind of medical emergency. Good job to finish strong after that little event!
Those ears are beautiful!!
Thank you!Congrats on your great tri this weekend- way to go!!
Also those ears are amazing! I am already looking her up on Etsy. Thanks!
Thanks!Congrats!! And those really are gorgeous ears!!
Aren't they!Those ears are amazing. Your mock tri sounds like it was a great success and learning experience - congrats!
They're not too bad. Slightly heavier than official ears but they're a bit firmer with the stuffing. I love the idea. Sadly it's hard to eat beignets while running and if I'm carrying them during a run I have to eat them.Catching up on your journal today! I had to comment on those ears! SO PRETTY! Are they heavy?
You know a Tiana + apron + plate of beignets would make a cute rundisney costume
Also, another thought. Does anyone else struggle with getting runs in during the summer? I'm going on vacation at the end of June and the end of July and I'm wondering how that will affect my training. I'm going to get my runs in whenever possible, I just don't want to make myself crazy while trying to do so.
I definitely skipped a run during our trip to WDW and moved another one to accommodate my travel day. Otherwise, I switched to early morning runs in order to keep everything else from getting in the way. I'm out and back before the rest of my family is awake, usually. My husband can't bring himself to wake up that early, so between visitors and scheduling conflicts, he's been having a harder time getting his runs in.
I just sent the same message to @MoanasPapa!
Yes, early runs are going to be my thing when it decides to stay in the 90s with high humidity. My fear is definitely running in a region I don't know (my June trip) rather than running laps around the Wonder in July. Hopefully @MoanasPapa can get back in the swing of things post vacation.I definitely skipped a run during our trip to WDW and moved another one to accommodate my travel day.

What I'm hearing is only 3 miles @ EA today or 4 @ LR to make up for my missed blind :O It definitely makes sense in that pushing hard after several days off is more likely to result in injury and injury is more likely to result in not running at all.I just wanted to chime in with some advice. If you find yourself having to completely skip a run (which happens, so no worries) make sure you choose the Wednesday (CV/Tempo) workout to be the one to be skipped. Thus, if the week drops from 4 days to 3 days, you should drop the hard one not one of the easy ones. It seems counter-intuitive but it's because missing an easy day unbalances the schedule to much harder. Whereas missing a hard day, just means you don't reap the benefits of the training week. In one case, injury risk goes up and in the other it does not. At the end of the day. making it to the starting line healthy is much more important than if you were fully trained. If you only miss a few hard days here and there, it'll be a blip in the big picture scheme of an entire training plan. I will say my thought process on this is against the grain, but I think it's the safer long term choice. Hope this helps!
